That argument... No offense but that is as idiotic as China’s censorship reasoning for removing the game. How were the devs profiting from this? The game predates the pandemic by 8 years. People buying the game now is not a calculated move by the developers who from the beginning discouraged the use of the game to…

I still think they look fine up close idk

WD-40 is not a lubricant, and people who use it as such are only setting themselves up for long term failure. It provides lubricant-like results for a very brief period of time, but in the end, will only dissolve any remaining prior lubricant from the application area and then evaporate itself, leaving you with…

As I said before, the historical context doesn’t apply here. There are no indigenous people in this game, only distinctly inhuman alien creatures. That’s not a “misstep.” They are correctly using the actual definition of the word. If they did explore the historical context of the word, liberals would be even more…

No one is falling for your ploy of being convinced not to buy one so you can buy them all, Plunkett!

It looks like the prop from the show? I don’t understand what the problem is?

I dunno, looks pretty darn cute and nice and friendly to me.

Sorry Luke you're wrong bud. The kid is adorable. 

As someone all for trying to put more thought into the language used and it’s appropriateness going forward, I’ll ultimately have to admit this fell short of convincing.

Personally, I don’t see the hyper-sensitivity here. Savage is a word with a specific and negative historical context when referring to a place where indigenous people live. Bringing that context into a game where the focus isn’t exploring that context more deeply but merely shooting and having fun feels like a…

In my opinion, this article feels a bit damaging to general cultural progress if you’re trying to handcuff someones intent to something they didn’t intend. Historically, there is a million ways we all could be up in arms against every facet of everyday life if we want to deadlock ourselves to the negative and ignore…

I don’t disagree with Paul’s take that ‘savage’ has always been a historically-charged term. But given that Typhoon studios is not an American studio (it’s Canadian and founded by an Australian person), we also have to consider the fact that (and I say this as an immigrant who experiences this almost every day)…

RAKE IN THE LAKE

If a game or developer does not align with your politics and you feel strongly about it, then don’t buy the game. By all means, take a stand. Sign an online petition stating that you’re not buying the game because it fails to give equal representation to women. If you want to enact real change and enough people feel…

Would a googly eyes DLC clash with the general theme?

Gravity Gloves? So Alyx had a miniaturized version of the massive beast she gave Gordon... ... ...and never used them after meeting him?

Not today it doesn’t!

This is more Half-Life: Rhys Darby for me, haha. Since it’s not a Half-Life 3, I’m the most interested in just being able to spend time with a character voiced by Flight of the Conchords’ Murray.

I’ve never been a Kojima fan and didn’t give a shit about Death Stranding when they announced it, and continued not to give a shit about it until the gameplay reveal that showed us something I wasn’t expecting. While so many others felt confused by the lengthy, moody trailer that showed no footage of murder, but…
