I like how you said ‘I’ll wait for your answer’ like you were dropping the mic or something. That was precious.

But what does that mean — ‘everything?’
What would it even mean to have ‘everything right away’ in Dragon Age, Mass Effect, or Skyrim?

I think it makes sense for games that ARE divided neatly into levels, chapters, whatever..... With few dependencies between each...

But what about the Skyrims and Mass Effects of the world? Or the Dishonoreds? Games built on mechanics and systems rooted in branching paths and choices, evolving/upgrading a character or…

I’ve never understood the Shotgun hate. Once you realize another player is rocking shotguns, you just have to adjust your approach - out maneuver them, avoid getting into close combat, etc.

Huh. Your experience is entirely different from mine. My little firesquad and I are all at LL of, like... 220-250 and we owned 5 in a row last night against a wide range of guardians with higher levels... Sure, there was the occasional frustrating Hammer Bro moment or some OP shield action, but... we more than held…

Look, I get it. I work in games, I know all too well how it all goes down and how evil some of the fuckers at the top are and how lusty they get when they see How Company A Is Making All That Money.

And I like your passion, man!!

I just don’t get the need to get worked up before things have even come to pass. As of…

So companies are literally going to force you to buy games and spend money on microtransactions?.... I just don’t get the rage.

I mean, I get not liking f2p games and microtransactions and such, but... just show your support and spend your money on games built on models you can get behind. Or go back and play one of…

You only get gutted if you pay for it. Who is forcing you to buy these things?

Really, the ‘addiction’ argument?

I mean.... Anti-Video Game chuckleheads have been using the ‘addiction’ argument to decry pretty much ALL of gaming for 30+ years now.... Is that really where we’re taking this?

You’re sickened!!!....

Calm down, man. It’s video games.

This is a GOOD idea.

‘Pay to win’ what? What have you won?

“Consumers and game players in general are far more mature these days. There are so many things vying for our interests today.”

How are those sentences supposed to connect? Consumers are just as stupid and shitty as they’ve always been. And having ‘so many things’ vying for your interest doesn’t automatically make you…

To me, they’re basically admitting — ‘story is not what we’re about, it’s all just a reason to go pew-pew in our big shiny set pieces. which most of you have long known. carry on.’

Sure. I’m just one of those who didn’t really think TOO much of DESTINY at Vanilla launch, put it down about 10 months ago and only recently picked it back up. Liking it a lot more now!

Maybe I’ll just be in a schedule where I’m hopping in at the .5s... 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, etc...

Jason, do you know if they plan on further updating and supporting Destiny 1 upon releasing 2 (assuming 2 is anytime soon)?

Like a lot of players, I have so many mixed emotions about this game. There’s so much that I like, but... The idea that a ‘sequel’ might drop only a year after the original really feels like it’s…

‘My husband Stuart received GTA V as a wedding present from his friend.’

......what?

I didn’t hear them complaining at all.

I know what you’re getting at, but... is the reality not often that these Big Huge Games are only offering the illusion of ‘more bang for your buck?’

What’s the difference between playing a 15 hour game again (on a harder setting, let’s say) and playing a 50 hour game once but DOING pretty much the same thing over and…

But... aren’t you guys PART of that drip feed by writing about and reporting on every little development as it trickles out?
