And yet, employers and people who sorta pay attention to the industry wonder why the middle-ground skill pool, the stuff above entry-level, is so barren.

Yeah this was 100% intentional. Big news outlets will put her face and her name out there, free publicity.

Make no mistake, I played a lot. Ran raids, ran recovs for Trials, all that, since Year 1 Destiny 1. Destiny 2 has gone far harder in “play this every day or miss story” and “do the same stuff over an over before you get to the actual new stuff” bullshit. You see, I remember downloading Taken King and House of Wolves a…

Playing Assassin’s Creed 4 showed me just how pervasive this length = quality thing has gotten. There was like a really solid 15 hour game in there, buried by the 40 or so hours of meaningless STUFF that was baked in. The box said “90 side-quests!!!” which actually meant 3 side-quests you repeated 30 times each, the…

I’m playing DMC5 right now, and that comes right after Yakuza 0. And I felt so relieved to play them on my own terms. Explore and complete them as I see fit, versus bowing to the will of the event calendar.

Yeah this games as a service shit, where every game is competing to occupy 100% of your time for years with minimal actual content, is bullshit. I have to play Destiny every weekend to just get any semblance of story? If i miss it, i gotta wait another week? And what am I doing for this story? The same stuff I’ve been…

It ain’t that deep, champ

That image of the steam group called BOYCOTT MODERN WARFARE 2 with like 90% of the people in it playing modern warfare 2 comes to mind

Hey that’s good to hear. Maybe Melee can finally be put to rest soon then

I mean i get his frustration. His bullshit playstyle was banned, but jiggly’s bullshit playstyle wasn’t. This probably comes from trying to make a casual party game a tournament game

I mean, they did ban the tactic the ice climber main used. I’m not defending the guy nor the game. Smash eas never meant to be competitive yet they continue insisting it can be, but banning moves in a game seems sorta counter intuitive to the “use what you can to win” thing

Same with Destiny. You can’t really do anything exciting pve wise for builds as it’s all been sterilized for pvp. But with the rumors that Bungie is removing pvp for D3, which seems to be the best move, the pvp crowd is whining its ass off

I know, i delved through that awful 8chan ama just to see if there was any good info. Best they gave was a “ehh maybe” but i’ll take it for now.

In cases like division or far cry i agree. However i think fallout 4 and skyrim did it well. You could get everything yes, but it takes a hell of a while to do that, and you could complete everything in the game and not be close to maxing everything. So you really HAVE to want to max everything to get to that point

Looks like they're those $8k collector’s edition jackets

Yeah you did. What do you think “hostile comments” are? You wanna say “well you deserve the hate” and then go for the pearl-clutching when someone calls you out on it. “Oh I never said they deserve death threats! I only said it’s not unwarrented! totally different! Watch as I attempt to backpedal!”

“Wahhhh i just wanna be an asshole they should take responsibility for their actions but i shouldn’t wahhh”

You sure showed them. And people wonder why devs never "listen to the fans"

“Devs never listen to us!" Lmao why would they? Fuck outta here. Voice your dissatisfaction like an adult or get out. 

Imagine thinking your death threats over not liking a game are justified.
