Loved the first game they released a couple years ago and am loving this one so far, but yeah, the learning curve is steep as hell and the tutorials are not helpful for newbies to tabletop games. You can totally make a completely useless build and not realize it until its dozens hours too late.

The fact that you just put everything your DM to figure out and not do the homework yourself really speaks to the kind of player you are. That wouldn’t fly in my group. The rule of cool only works occasionally. The rules are there to keep the game fair and balanced and shouldn’t just be thrown out on a whim. If you…

... really? I thought it was extremely obvious from the get go with her, they were alway right there. lol

How much progress is it really when it’s just a bunch of liberal creatives expressing their liberal beliefs in a liberal echo chamber? Do you call it progress when you’re bullshitting with your like-minded friends over a beer about issues you all agree on? We’ve always dominated the entertainment industry. Making…

Those ads were such a surreal part of the game for me, one minute you’re fighting the darkness, the next you’re grabbing your Verizon phone and looking around for energizer batteries. I think I will miss them though, it added a bit of strangeness to a strange game.

As someone who bought the Jedi Outcast “remake” from Aspyr, I have absolutely no faith that they will make a working game. My copy was completely broken, constantly crashing, to where I had to save every five minutes. That is, until the game crashed while saving, then the entire game was unplayable. I can’t even start…

Its Ironic how racist Asians are to each other yet its okay and just accepted it seems.

I mean it's a game. You can have taste in entertainment that doesn't necessarily align with how you think the world should work. Case being GTA, I doubt most people who make it or play it support stealing cars and running over sex workers (though there were rumblings in a city (forget which one) about trying to ban it…

it’s incomprehensible to me that anyone would come to the defense of the Chinese state over even the slightest matter. This is the sort of thing tankies on twitter do. I thought Kotaku wasn't aligned with those sorts of pretend-leftist authoritarians

It’s a dumb series built around shooting nameless enemies, hunting animals for their skins, taking down forts, and blowing shit up. Personally, I really don’t need it to be more than that. 

Wait... Is this article about the lack of integrity in games journalism?!?

The law certainly allows for it...

Well, no, that’s not how truly free speech works. But it absolutely can be how a private company with social responsibility could work.

I like having physical copies, plain and simple. I like having an actual collection of games, a collection I can also lend to friends and family.

- Saves on data
- Saves on hard drive space
- can loan games to friends more easily
- is sometimes cheaper


Also it’s fucking stupid to claim that someone can’t both list being able to hold a game for a long time and being able to sell it as a benefit. Depending on the game, someone might want to keep it for a long time,…

How about the argument “physical copies are usually half the price”?
Also you can resell them after finishing them, so you could maybe get half of that back, which means your $70 game now costs $17.5 instead.
Do that with three games and your disc version of the PS5 just cost you $50 less than the digital only version.

If…

Once I finish a game, I sell it on eBay to get about 50-70% of what I paid, which goes toward another game. Friends also loan me discs of games they are done with, as I do for them. Too many to keep changing a primary console. How’s this work with digital again? Since I own them as you say, I should be able to do this.

ah, so you’re arguing in bad faith. A pity.  Carry on, I guess.
