I remember and miss the old days of YouTube where you could find full episodes of TV shows.  I used to watch a lot of Simpsons on there when I was in college.

I’m not all that surprised. When Microsoft acquired Bungie, it was mostly allowed to do its own thing. Microsoft has let Minecraft be Minecraft and it’s worked well.

I absolutely love the negative review that’s basically a long rant.. then noticing they have barely over an hour of playtime. 

I can’t wait to keep hearing “more than twice” “jokes” for the rest of ever.

The thumbs down reviews as always are the worst and not even constructive.

This is fairly common in Asian P2W MMOs. The low-levels are just there to provide meat for the high level P2W players, who will camp spawns just like this. Eventually the noob gets frustrated and leaves, or pays to become one of the high level P2W players, then he gets to prey on noobs too.

I made a new character just for survival. Spawned in at Vault 76, encountered a lvl150ish guy, then we proceeded to emote at each other for a few minutes before I went on my merry way. Made it all the way through Flatwoods and and had just reached the Morgantown airport part of the storyline when I made it to the top…

this just sounds like MMO open-world PvP but clustered into a smaller map with well-known player spawn points

Do you imagine people who leave reviews read other reviews and care not to repeat what was already said? In 90% of the cases, reviews are a knee-jerk reaction meant to satisfy only one person: the poster. Whether they are angry or delighted, that’s all it does. Imagine them like shouts out the window. Nobody cares…

I’ve always wondered why people leave reviews on Steam

This is why I don’t value user reviews in a games storefront.

I’m having trouble with Sekiro. I barely play SoulsBorne games but I enjoyed Nioh. So I thought I would like this game. But I just can’t seem to progress very far, nor do I feel like I’m actually heading somewhere tangible. I don’t know if it’s my lack of playing From Software games that has me feeling... lost. Or if…

We are Hanbei fans here.

First, the prime goal of any company, and especially big ones like EA, are about making money for their sharholders. And if improving your products (in this case, games) goes against making more money for shareholders, then that lofty goal of making a better product will just be shot down the drain.

As others have said, it was a million, not $1000. And it was post-launch.

“If we’re honest with ourselves, we’re not there right now.”

I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s min-maxing. The nature of advertising is changing in the games industry. For example, where before it was pretty standard for a company to advertise at shows like PAX and E3, now multiple companies are questioning the advertising value they get out of these large industry shows.

EA has a lot of skill in shoving their most talented employees (regardless of their role) into a closet to work on what usually amounts to shit. On the one end, companies that know this should be frothing at the mouth to scoop up these employees. On the other, these employees haven’t had a chance to shine so their…

This is a difficult day. The changes we’re making today will impact about 350 roles in our 9,000-person company

Can’t I just get an Alan Wake sequel?
