Interesting that you both advocate a “Free Society” AND obligating Steam to release something they didn’t want to do.

You know what else someone should be able to do in a free society?

This is exactly what I want out of fighting games: a reason to play in short bursts with cosmetic rewards. It’s too bad it’s in a game that I’m lukewarm about, but this might be what I need to give it a shot.

BIG IF TBH

This reminds me of the time I got paired up with a 9 year old kid on Fortnite who was INCREDIBLY polite for his age and played surprisingly well, even though he was a bit too aggressive considering his shooting skills.
We chatted a bit throughout the match until he told me he had never won a match despite having played…

After rereading what I’d written, I can see that it was totally a humble brag. I should have been more considerate when responding to your post.

I felt exactly like that playing Planetside2 for (probably) a thousand hours. I’m terrible, my K/D is abysmal, but god damnit I couldn’t stop playing.

this is so sweet :’)

When you find a good team to play with it can be a pure joy.

As far as wholesome stories, last night in aspect Legends, I got paired up with a guy who started asking me questions out of nowhere.

Why? Apex Construct came out a year ago. Apex Legends came out 2 weeks ago. You can’t sue a company because the consumers are idiots. 

Man, fuck those review-bombing shitwizards. How are people mistaking a year-old $30 indie VR game for a two-week-old FREE-TO-PLAY AAA FPS? Nevermind the fact that anybody with any sense knows it’s not going to be on Steam.

Who do you sue and what for

Modders also don’t have to support multiple platforms, meet any quality standards, make sure their stuff is fully compatible with each other, nor keep up with future updates as is evident by the boundless amount of abandoned mods. I get that Minecraft has had some slow periods, but you are still comparing apples to…

You’re thinking about No Man’s Sky. The article is about Minecraft.

Which is after 2014 that she told you she played the demo at.  

I appreciate it. This is a pretty stupid game in a lot of ways, but if you meet things on their level you can find a lot of interesting stuff in the strangest places.

Kotaku has been crushing reviews lately. I tapped out of this series after Far Cry 4, didn’t play Primal or 5, and have no intention of playing this game. And yet I read this entire review. It pulled me in and made me think. I love the way it contextualized the series tropes through the game’s mechanics, story and…

The first time I played this game was in a Gamescom demo in 2014. At that point, the cloud-enabled destructibility was also planned for the single-player.

There are definitely moments here when it does, particularly near the end. Its shorthands can often be a bit too reductive, boiling down complex relationships into something more basic than necessary. Its tropes are often deployed without thinking through all of the implications as well.

I’m not suggesting that this is…
