I might pick up a few while waiting for D.Va (with mech, hopefully).

Yeah, I’d be more compelled to try the genre out if I could mow through a bunch of bots and play at my own pace. There’s nothing appealing to me about a game that I’ll probably never win.

Absolutely. Within ten years, Blizzard will be nothing more than a name that Activision trots out whenever they want to prey upon customers’ nostalgia.

Look at all the people in the comments that are like, “It’s a business, they’re supposed to make money!”

I’m baffled whenever a talented studio jumps into bed with giants like Activsion and EA. Sure, you get some money in the short term, but these companies have a long, long history of running studios into the ground. You can’t make a deal with the devil and expect to come out with your soul intact. 

Right there with you. If you jump into competitive expecting to climb the ranks while everyone communicates and executes flawless strategies, of course you’re going to be disappointed.

It’s great when designers make RPG houses look as if they’re functioning, livable spaces. When you walk into a home with six family members and one and a half beds, it either breaks the immersion or raises some weird questions. Little details go a long way.

Glad I’m not the only one who felt this way. The premise of the game sounds right up my alley, but I’m struggling to get past the protagonist. Nothing about him, from his design to his personality, is the least bit appealing. 

Just think, if only our grandparents’ and great grandparents’ generations had accepted LGBT people decades ago, news like this would be considered normal. Or maybe not even newsworthy at all. People would just say, “Huh, that’s cool.” and go about their business without any ribbing.

At many of these stores, working on holidays isn’t a choice that someone makes based on whether they WANT to or not. They’re scheduled for that day, and expected to show up because millions of assholes like to spend their holiday making sure that retail workers don’t get to enjoy theirs.

Right off the top of my head? Refusing to allow cross-platform play for the longest time, to the point where they claimed it wasn’t even possible. Also, their increased fondness for censorship. These are big issues that drive away customers, and point to a leadership that’s completely out of touch and coasting on…

The 2016 election showed just how easy it is to influence politics by manipulating information. Do you truly believe that a massive, wealthy company wouldn’t block or censor messages that threaten the political systems that benefit it most?

Thank you for posting this. Unfortunately, you’re going to get labeled all sorts of nasty stuff and burned at the stake, because people can’t have a conversation about artistic freedom in this context without losing their goddamn minds. 

There are definitely some situations where certain things aren’t appropriate (especially places where children gather), but generally it’s pretty easy to let people craft and enjoy their own identities without judgment. Whether they’re a furry, an otaku, a goth, trans or practically anything else... it really doesn’t…

Where you live and where you work does have some impact, but the majority of Americans are still one freak accident or illness away from financial ruin. Half of us spend every day terrified of that prospect, while the other half throws a tantrum at the thought of their tax dollars going to save the lives of people who…

A couple years ago, I did most of my shopping on Amazon, but I’ve cut it down considerably. I’ve only purchased a few items from them all year, and absolutely none of my Christmas shopping was done on the site. Instead, I shopped locally and even got most of it done before Thanksgiving.

I’m a tiny bit behind on recent releases. Just finished up Spider-Man, and I’m working on Soulcalibur VI now. 

Believe me, I’d rather see talented people take as much time as they need to put together something wonderful, as opposed to churning out yearly sequels. But in the case of XV, it seemed like nobody really had a clear vision for the game throughout it’s early development, with all the scrapping and starting over from…

Yes, considering that whatever comes next is going to take a million years to come out, the sooner they get started on that, the better. Then again, I’m hoping these shake-ups cause them to re-evaluate how they make games. There have to be faster and more efficient ways to do this stuff. 

I respect the fact that most soldiers have very good intentions when they sign up for military service, but at the end of the day, they’re letting themselves be used and manipulated by people with very terrible intentions. I’m not sure they always contemplate that. As long as a politician gives a stirring, patriotic…
