He’s very good at attracting some attention, but shockingly bad at getting kills. I wouldn’t have noticed, except there’s an achievement for getting the supporters 5 kills total, across all the times you call for them. It’s basically impossible to get unless you bring the enemy down to one hit and then refuse to touch…

Half-Life seems to be the story of the consumers being super invested in the world/lore/etc and the developers never sharing that enthusiasm. And if the devs had moved on to endlessly creating hit after hit, the failed cliffhanger followup would be a sad footnote in an otherwise blockbuster studio’s work. Instead, we…

When he was alive, he could at least give a thumbs up to the work though. Now it’s literally just branding in the style of a dead man... which I guess you could say is the same as Disney, but it’s not like they claim Disney is the director of the movies, whereas they do put Clancy’s name on the book covers as if he’s…

The unpublished work is LONG gone, they’re just using his name as a brand. Kind of gross as far as books go, this far out.

Why... are you writing about Clancy in the present tense?

You don’t “need” to buy a Ps5. Or read any articles on this website. Or watch TV for that matter. What is the point of saying any of this? Like the Ratchet & Clank statement was straight up gaming website malpractice. “I dunno, I haven’t played it, but probably you could skip it? Because the series started a while…

IGN drumming up the story... of management interfering with editorial and the entire outlet being compromised? That is absolutely not a story they want to be having...

You don’t need to beg for this... Vin will do that for you.

Holding still to camp a specific spot is something that could reasonably happen in a match, and people who idle generally don’t stand perfectly still, they run a macro to move the bare minimum amount. Not a good fix.

It’s a full priced game on the same shelf as every professional product. It’s not a student project. They don’t deserve kid gloves and certainly never asked for them. A very strange thing to suggest...

I cannot believe you’re calling “I expect the game software to not CONSTANTLY crash” as toxic entitlement. That’s toxic cheerleading for an incompetent product.

Both Nier games at least have the benefit of the beginning and ending of each quest having fun, interesting, funny, or even tragic dialogue. Unfortunately, they both also feature super boring, unrewarding sidequests a plenty. Both games are like “get me 5 tree barks, 3 rubber tires, and 20 broken screws” in place of…

Control is a fascinating example because it heavily features both good quest design and TERRIBLE quest design, so you get an immediate comparison. You go from hunting unique items with their own lore, story buildup, and shocking resolution (fungus boss for example) to “kill 5 random enemies hidden in inconvenient…

Racists don’t need tags to see a person of color and then click off the stream. So that doesn’t make any sense at all.

Adding more words does not make the “if you don’t like it, make one yourself!” criticism any less stupid.

“One of the best-selling manga of all time, Berserk debuted in 1989 with its eighth volume slated to be released this July.”

Yeah, I don’t agree with the statement at all in terms of “it being when the show started to go downhill”. Actually, season 3 in total is the low point for the show with many horribly written plotlines like:

I remember III having similar details about “the people working on the Animus must have included this because they liked it, it wouldn’t have been here at this time.”

The default option (no save import) was for Wrex to be dead. I don’t know if the Genesis comic allowed for you to choose for him to live or not. So... considerably more than 8.

Note: Eve the Krogan is new to ME3, she dies if you don’t have the Genophage data from 2 (she does not appear in 2).
