Did you actually read what you wrote? You judged Respawn and Apex Legends before you even gave it a try because it’s an EA game with loot boxes.

I read it as “Alpocalypse” for some reason.

This is usually the kind of news that gets followed up two years later with: “Former devs run away screaming from corporate management job to leave gamesindustry forever.”

They are going to head a new studio that only develops loot boxes.

Every time I get really high I’m like “someone drugged me!” Which is true, because I am someone.

“Sir! The internet is melting down over Destiny 2 microtransaction shenanigans.”
“Quick! Be charming before they turn on us, too!”

When the first Battlefront 2 (really, fuck this trend of just starting again when it comes to numbering) has more features and better progression then a game that comes out ten years later you really have to wonder how EA shit the bed this hard.

If trump/sessions said that last bit on fox news, half of their viewers would simultaneously orgasm and it would be screamed by every right wing nut job until there were no more public defenders.

Hmm... it’s strange. I own a gaming rig that is very good and yet I also appreciate my consoles and enjoy them as well.

This smells more like patent troll than an up-and-up infringement case. Is the current AM General the same company that produced the Humvee, or is it just the legal IP of said company collected into somebody’s war chest?

Those are some awesome skins...but I’ve hit the point where I’m done dealing with loot boxes and games that use them. So doubt I’ll even play enough to grab one of them.

Two important notes here:

It’s a real shame, but also funny to see how far we’ve come in recent years from feeling like DLC was sort of corner cutting to something we expect and want from games that require such a long and deep investment.

This is why you don’t pigeon-hole yourself just to be popular.

I gotta hand it to Seattle PD. Using a video game stream to brief viewers on police matters is an excellent way to dispense propaganda under the guise of “Officer Friendly McCool”.

Narrative-based games as a whole tend to have fewer or as many characters than TV or film franchises. Star Wars and Star Trek adaptations in the 1990s tended to have only a few significant characters besides the player character, almost all of whom were well outside their series. (Mon Mothma in Dark Forces and Darth

Helicopter parenting is bad and you can’t shelter them from bad stuff in the world too much but I feel like “I don’t want my children interacting with a known serial killer” is a fairly reasonable request?

Is this comment literally ‘Boyega doesn’t look as heroic as other black men’?

Well the solution would be to put out not-terrible campaigns, surely?
