Ofc they can do and go wherever they want during their lunch break. But the fact that other people knew what they were doing in their lunch break means they didn’t confine it to their lunchbreak. They obviously did it in the workplace and talked about it, and seeing the rest of the stuff these ppl were accused of, you…

It isn’t necessarily bad, but I’ve found that “lunch club” is a pretty big thing in the games industry, where at many places, being in the right social circles will do a lot more for your career than working hard. Ok, that’s in a lot of industries, but games especially seems to play into the “culture fit” side of…

If you can’t see a systemic culture problem with a bunch of guys from a professional workplace going to a strip club together for LUNCH then...I don’t know what else I can tell you.

It seems like if you have levels and a skill tree you can call yourself an RPG these days. But IMO the term RPG has always been a bit loosely defined when it comes to video games.

If Assassin’s Creed, God of War, Horizon, Witcher, Diablo, Final Fantasy and WoW can all be called RPGs, then Cyberpunk can absolutely be called one too. Personally, I think the term has become so broad as to be basically useless these days.

That ball was a motherfucker

Enjoyable read.

I think you would ultimately end up seeing stuff on the ground as just more crafting materials instead of guns that may or may not be cool, and I’d rather play a game that has a ton of guns instead of a ton of crafting materials. To each their own though. I know crafting in games is a super popular thing, I'm just…

I think if you let people craft whatever guns they want then the random drops (and the whole selling point of the genre) becomes meaningless. If I can make my ideal rifle then why would I ever care about what drops?

I’m pretty down about it, but I think I’m also going to keep my Zane in play. For now, I think the trick is just playing a bit more conservatively—most conversation online revolves around Mayhem 3 runs, since that offers the most rewards, but Mayhem 1 and 2 are there too! And with the right gear Zane can be very…

Oh wow, you really converted me.

No fucking shit. Gamers can be some of the most entitled assholes ever. Why the hell would someone want to engage with spoiled shits who armchair game develop, as if content and features are as easy to make as a meme template.

God forbid we don't all spend 17 hours a day playing eve online

Downvoted for suggesting ME1 and DA1 don’t have good stories. They’re probably the best narratives for either of those franchises (both of which are superlative IMO).

Hey at least you found a way to insult both the game and the people that enjoy these types of games.

Bro you could teach that game review guy over at Forbes a thing or two.

While there’s certainly toxic elements in some churches, I think the whole aspect in FarCry 5 is really the examination of a personality-based cult. While it’s more of an evangelical tinged one, it has more in common with the Fundamentalist Mormon breakaways, who live in ‘compounds’ and practice polygamy, or Jim…

I have not played this game, but I enjoyed reading this piece.
