My non-proprietary arcade sticks & headsets for XB360 say hello. My proprietary charging cables & batteries were the furthest things from garbage until I had finished misusing them for years and disused them in favour of their successors in the subsequent generation. (They still work for my old 360, but some of them co…

Could we please not refer to media, productions, entertainment products & works as “content?” I really hate this metonymical change in the vernacular over the last few years.

Hey, uh, Mr. Plunkett, maybe the grammar editor needed another pass at the first paragraph, lol. 

What y'all are talking about essentially makes this acquisition a hostile takeover?

If they find a way to keep him around and then fire him after he potentially loses the lawsuit, then he won’t keep those bonuses and may even be ordered to liquidate some of his shares as renumeration.

People scrambled up those codes within minutes; I know because I almost immediately painstakingly paused the IGN stream and quickly entered almost all of them (including the hidden ones), trying multiple times over the course of 30-50 minutes or so. Didn’t get any.

For me, standout ludonarrative dissonance is when the tone of the game doesn’t match what you do as the player controlling the main character. For example, Sora & pals in Kingdom Hearts are rather gleeful and exuberant when exuding their violent solutions on the mindless minions of Darkness - but virtually all of…

We just need to remember that in game design, gameplay is the glue. After that, everything else should fall into place from the analytical perspective of a consumer. It’s only when a plot doesn’t make sense - like in those moments where we’re wondering wtf is going on - when we should all start scratching our heads.

Part 1: Let’s get my conceptual triggers out of the way

That’s cool. Drawn-out cinematic games haven’t been my thing for some years now (except for the best from the last three years, they’ve also been rote), and the other PSX exclusives (like Twisted Metal, LBP, etc.) have been cool, if not good overall, but not deal-makers for me. I thus have not owned a PS since PS2.…

You’re all doing it again. Resorting only to Twitter snapshots and calling us “The Internet.” What did I tell y’all about that?

All that is left for you to potentially espouse is that the public must also be held accountable, and therefore admonished or nurtured (in a constructively criticized way) when necessary. I’m not talking about being an “SJW” or anti-SJW either. I leave it to someone as smart as you to determine what that means for you.

Foolish response, considering your last paragraph is mine reworded, and your first means you’re susceptible to the platform war crap that plagues the markets.

No offense, but considering how oddly specific some other people tend to be on other things, I don’t blame people wanting a black woman in OW.

Pandering happens under at least two conjoined conditions, that I know of - rather, an observer would categorize a proffering of something as pandering under these two conditions at least:

Perhaps this is why I’m banned from PCGamer, but I don’t appreciate my comments not getting published because, what, my opinion differs from yours and there’s a passive-aggressive sally towards the readers?

Ah, thanks. 

Thanks for posting a Twitter confirmation. I don’t read that tripe — even from Kojima-san — so I’d never have known for a long time. lol.

Exclusives are only a priority relevancy if you own pretty much everything, platform-wise. lol.

I think it is because people would forgo the console version if they knew they could get it on PC — even if their PC rigs aren’t that great.
