Eh, it’s no more hideous than current trucks. 

I think he retrieved the package for the roll of reflectaline. That it’ll be involved in what transpires and how he defends himself/escapes. He’s definitely prepared for what’s coming.

Next test is if he still has a job next Friday, or does Activision get pressured into replacing him.

But none of that ‘more to the apology’ includes actually mentioning or detailing what he was apologizing for or why. It was a hollow statement that said next to nothing.

Yes. Don’t know why that was omitted here, but you’ll still have to run it all through Origin on top of Steam.

My favorite touch of that scene was that the squid seemed to dissolve away into an inky nothing. With heavy notes of magenta and the colors of the alien squid itself, which was heavily rooted in early comic print itself color wise. There are so many deep rabbit holes this show can go down into in detail, especially…

It’s the inherent problem with the response of ‘vote with your wallet’ in cases like this. Because that response is often cloaked in apathy and said to end discussion, to invalidate vocal criticism. It’s a call to pessimism, and often intended in opposition of anyone having the gall to not be contentedly silent. I…

#uninstallBlizzard should maybe become a thing?

And the Battle.net launcher is now uninstalled. 

It’s a small thing, but why refer to this as a ‘free update?’ It’s a subscription based MMO, it’s just an update. Now if there was ever a free expansion, that’d be worth noting. 

It all being done through a post-humanism lense is quite new though.

I’ve read your work before. I’ve also read these two pieces and they concerned me. Because of what they contained within them and what they did not. Something you’re really worked up over in these replies, which is utterly absent from your coverage of this game.

You did nothing but repeatedly excuse the…

First thing first: none of Breakpoint’s microtransactions are required for a comfortable experience.

Shouldn’t this have accompanied your initial impressions in some form? Instead of completely omitting mention of the microtransactions? That tied to the apologetic tone of this write up for the sake of Ubisoft, the coverage is kinda concerning.

Wow. No mention at all of nearly every aspect of the game being monetized with microtransactions?

It’s amazingly well written, voice acted, and the world itself is quite a marvel. So you’d be missing out on that. But at the same time you’d be missing out on tedious combat, some truly terribly designed mission game play, floaty controls, and many campaign decisions that do nothing but distract from what’s fun and…

Did I say they should? It’s the concept that you can’t own any of these games through direct purchase outside of the ongoing subscription. This is a terrible road we’re going down.

Well, besides the first two hurdles of bullshit, having to buy and use Apple hardware and then pay for another subscription service.

But Just Dance isn’t Nintendo re-inventing the controller. I have no problem with games designed from the ground up to integrate movement as the backbone of their design, but to embark on implementing it across entire platforms and force it into games built upon a traditional controller schemes without alternatives is …
