Thank you.

Whatever genius thought the game needed to be anchored/shoehorned by a *very* high concept modern day setting having to do with hyper advanced ancient alien magic tech woven throughout history is, without hyperbole, the person responsible for pinning this entire franchise firmly and forever to mediocrity. The modern…

He mentioned Wargroove in the second paragraph and the rest of the article is explaining his reasoning for the comparison to Advance Wars and the very specific way this game reminds him of it. Sometimes it pays to go beyond the headline before you comment.

The glaring omission in all of this is “what happened to Juno?” She was set up to be the big bad after the death of Desmond, and she was hinted at in Black Flag, but then... nothing.

As if we needed more reasons to fucking detest the sentient pile of human shit that calls itself Bobby Kotick...

So I feel what I’m about to write here is a shocking revelation, but a computer game set in a mythical realm is, and I cannot stress this enough, not real life. Games, in general, not real life. And actually if you look at the competitive games played in real life have clear rules and understandings how things work. I…

Yeah but it still needs to be called out. Like, this is a useful preview to me specifically because a big question I have with any early access thing is “Is it an EA that feels like a good but unfinished build or is it buggy to the point of being frustrating?”. It’s something I want to know and helps me decide when I…

Even when it comes to Early Access, there’s an expectation that the game would be, you know, playable. Since you’re paying money to play the game, the level of bugs shouldn’t overtly get in the way of being able to enjoy the experience.

It still needs to be driven home though. This is an experience that, unlike a Dead Cells or Hades, can be messed up by some bad bugs. We’ve been treated to some very smooth Early Access periods lately, but it’s important to remind people that not all games turn out this way.

Can I just add to the fuck “when they go low, we go high” chorus.

“When they go low, we go high.”

This kind of situation makes me glad to be a late adopter.

This 100%.

So here is a crazy thought. STOP BUYING INTO FUCKING FOMO PEOPLE!!

You wont be less of a gamer if you wait a week, a month, a year to buy the new hotness. Quit letting companies tell you that your life, personal worth and identity depends on you tripping over yourself to spend your money and prove you are worthy of…

Better idea - Don’t buy from them. Organize the market to not buy from them. Maximum pain per unit. Like the guys that hoarded toilet paper and couldn’t resell it.

Na. Botters should be.  But if people buy it fairly like everyone else, then it is theirs to do as they please.

I’m not usually cool enough to say that I was a fan of someone before they made it big but I can say that about this guy. Super talented and has quite the range of voices.

Can a streamer schedule an ad and then stop the ad or does it run for a minimum amount of time?  Man how far we’ve come from the days where Amazon Prime got you ad free viewing on Twitch.

The writer missed some stuff, but other stuff is dead-on-balls, and really frustrating in a game that could be looking at literally 30 years of similar titles as inspiration for how to make its systems smooth and transparent.

I feel like you might have turned off the tutorials, where it does actually walk you through quite a bit of this stuff specifically mentioned in this review. Off the top of my head, there’s a few popup tutorials that happen in your first few combats.

A pretty clear explanation of how armor works and how it impacts…
