Generally when I hear “leak” I assume news leaked about a product from the company or something connected to it. Like marketing material. I’m guessing in this case, it was data-mining patches for information (models, skins, etc) that hadn’t been implemented in the game yet and then posting about them.

Are the HotS players contracted employees of Blizzard? (I legitimately don’t know) Because if they are, then yes, this is a good analogy. Same as if they were paid advertisers by Blizzard. If these HotS players aren’t actually employed by Blizzard in any way then it is not so good of a comparison. I don’t think being…

I’m really hoping Team Ninja makes MUA 3 as much fun as the Warriors games, because those games were just addictive. They did a better job on the Warriors formula than the actual Dynasty/Samurai Warriors teams.

Good for him. My sister was a middle school teacher last year when this shit started (moved to HS now) and that game is like crack for the 10-14 year old crowd. Preteens and early teens have minimal self control and the fact you can play this damn thing on phones makes it out of control. Girls are pretty in to it too,…

The Fortnite game that is stupidly popular is actually an offshoot game. The popular game is “Fortnite: Battle Royale.” The “real” Fortnite game was a building and survival game where you had to survive a 2 week attack by zombies or something. No one actually knows shit about the real game because it wasn’t that…

3002:

They also made the Unreal Tournament series, the Unreal Engine, and the Gears of War series.

They’re not exactly reskins. Have you played them? They’re a lot better than the traditional musou games in many ways. Honestly Team Ninja did a better job with the Warriors formula than the standard Koei team did on the last musou games. Yeah a big part of the game is all the nostalgia and fan stuff (especially in…

It probably will skew closer to the Warriors games than the older dungeon crawler format, but I’m okay with that. I think Team Ninja’s change to the musou format for Hyrule Warriors and FE Warriors made them a lot better.

Team Ninja came out with Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem Warriors, and Nioh in the past 4 years. Even if you don’t personally like those styles of games, you can’t say they weren’t good. Honestly though, it is easy to forget Team Ninja worked on those games since they weren’t branded in quite the same way Ninja Gaiden or…

While viewing “others” as a monolith is common, I feel like the Jews get it to an even higher degree. So many people have a hard time believing that there is any sort of dissension within the Jewish faith, when even religions that have a single, ultimate authority figure (i.e. the Pope) don’t all agree.

I feel like we’ll have to see how much any of this impacts their sales and decisions in the future for it to really be considered that big of a screw up. I mean watching it unfold and the timing of every new issue hitting right before people are about to move on from the last one sure makes it seem like a big deal…

You got bonus LS/DS points and bonus social points if you picked the “winning” conversation. The social exp was a separate system from the Lightside/Darkside system (there was also legacy exp and command exp on top of your character exp, then of course all your different faction reputation exp. Yeah...). Personally…

Was a good way to get yourself some of the crazier titles and see the usually more interesting choices from the Darkside options without hurting your character’s score. 

If you legitimately don’t enjoy randomness in your Smash matches, then obviously dial it down and play the way you enjoy. You’re right, options are there for people to use in any capacity and I think the level of customization you can get for the rules and items available to you in a Smash game are perfect.

Anyone who insists the only “real challenge” or “true” way to play Smash is by limiting the content just remind them that they’re only “good” when the game is handicapped. If you’re only able to win at something when you remove random elements, then you’re not actually that good.

Yeah I was wondering that myself. The main reason I’ve kept my Vita all these years was to use it as my ps1 emulation machine. I have easy access to all the classic ps1 titles I want and in a way that feels fairly reminiscent of how I played them to begin with. While I have massive nostalgia for the ps1, as it was the…

There’s quite a few of these places around big schools and they are the weirdest freaking things. They are run like colleges are still the same as they were in the ‘30s. The people who donate all the money to them (and thus have the pull over what the rules are) are all those people who have this cultish devotion to…

That’s a very good point, and I’m glad you brought it up because that is going to be the most common argument in favor of loot boxes. The specifics and minutia are going to be what matter to people in the FTC. I feel like the best bet lootboxes with digital goods have would be to allow for the trading/re-selling of…

It is a really nice arwing. I won’t buy anything else for this game physically, but I am glad I bought the physical starter set. The controller adapter for the ships functions as a ship stand, too, so it is easy to display. I was really shocked at the quality of the ships. This might be one of the only “toy to life”…
