It’s been announced, there is two demos that combined have more gameplay time then many games, there is enough trailer footage to last more than an a few hours. There has been enough ink spilled about Square Enix admitting a lot is riding on this. The idea they’ll miss THIS deadline is insane.

Ten years later, an in-game Ramuh summon sequence looks much better than that trailer...

Plus, there’s no reason to hold words more precious above videos in 2016; the landscape has changed.

If you are nice to someone and you talk poorly about them behind their back then you are being impolite and deceitful.

Still already looks 10 times better than infinite warfare (which is very appropriately named seeing CoD never stops coming).

Actually, I think those companies will continue to thrive because they tend to be good at sifting through the hatred and figuring out what’s nonsense vs. what’s genuine criticism that they should respond to. YouTube dislikes for a game that isn’t out yet = nonsense. Diablo III auction house = genuine criticism.

Occam’s razor applies here: it’s different. As humans, we have an automatic fear response to the unfamiliar- or perhaps better put, we’re okay with things that are different, but not too different. Then we get scared and start such as a reactionary campaign, after which trolls may also glom. En masse, it’s rarely the…

People love hate fads. It brings them together. And in a modern world where no one has community due to electronic separation, they’ll do anything to feel like they belong. The hate fad is what brings people together in times of war, brings sports fans together, and neighborhoods when a bad neighbor moves in. Hate is…

Because there is nothing to say about this, it doesn't matter. The game will still make a billion dollars.

It’s better that he sorts this out now, when they are starting to get serious, than later down the road. If he waited until they are engaged, and the issue caused D to have to leave his life, that would be far more devastating. And if they just ignored until they had children, that would even create more…

He’s been dating non-white women off and on for a while. It doesn’t matter if this relationship is only 8 months old. Their attitudes are wrong and they want him to limit his mind and his dating pool to adhere to their disgusting traditions. The same problems he has with his current girlfriend have been an issue in…

It’s already something he’s had to deal with before. If they’re still going to be that way, is far better to get rid of such negative people from your life, no matter who they are. I stay away from discussing things with my own parents that trigger their latent racism, but you bet your ass I would cut them out if they…

Is not fine when the reviewer claim the lack of development is an absolute helpless finished state:

Maybe not in your country, but many people in America tend to resent two-faced duplicity.

it took 9 years to get my hispanic mother to approve of my white girlfriend. It’s not limited to one culture but the answer is the same in every context: do what makes you happy.

“You sell a product for money, people can review your product. Some early access games cost more than full price releases of other games.”

A product with a *huge warning label* about how unfinished it is, specifically say if you don’t mild it you can try it, if you don’t want unfinished products then wait for the final version.

I am assuming that in order to publish a game on Steam you need to assign some sort of version number to it, so that Steam later knows if there is a new update for the game. Now a simple solution would be to tie every review to the version number of the version the reviewer had last played when writing the review.…

A review should represent its current state. If that current state is unbalanced due to a recent change, a person who is considering the purchase of that game should be aware of that issue as it may lead to a poor initial experience.

I am a white male in Alabama who has been in a relationship (dating then marriage) with a black woman for 20 years. We have a 5 week old newborn; my parents adore her and my baby, as they’ve known her since we were teens. Both have been supportive in every way our relationship deserves with the only uncomfortable…
