This is why I can’t stand centrist/right wing. When someone brings up their valid feelings and try to simply start a discussion, you act like you’re being “reviled” and “attacked”. Like, can’t we just have the discussion with an open mind, and expect that a giant game company could try being accountable to its fans?…

I think it’s a general weakness of many leftish movements, ideology is so important to them that they often spend more time attacking others for not being perfect, even though they agree on most issues. I find that the right is better at compromise and working together on the basis of what they have in common.

I don’t understand the vitriol thrown at Overwatch over this specific blind spot in diversity. Overwatch is one of the most diverse multiplayer games out there and it’s not like there’s no strong women of color. Two are even shapes and sizes that you seldom see in games. And that’s not to mention Zarya, a feminine…

I always found the obsession with having an African-American woman as oddly specific. We have two Egyptian women, an African man, a Haitian man, and a robot made by an African girl. It’s not like we’re lacking in Black representation with about 1 in 6 characters being black, and 14 women means women aren’t left out…

I’ve always wondered about Phara and Anna. They’re Egyptian, and I’ve always thought Egypt is part of Africa? I thought the issue must be a lack of an African American woman. 

Uh, it seems more like they wrote and created a really cool black soldier lady and put her in a very important story position so they wanted to wait to fully introduce her until they do their story focused sequel?

Just curious if Efi doesn’t count because you technically play as Orisa? I believe she somewhat controls her, or something like that. Obvi not the same as being on the battlefield herself.

A videogame with the AKI engine!

AEW is trying to pull in the younger viewers and I hope it works because they are definitely going to make a video game and I am all for it since WWE games really haven’t been that good lately. Esp. since the last ones glitches really resemble the wrestling hud for SL. 

Wow ZERO reporting credit?!?!

For many fans, this will be disappointing news.

As a developer, everything about this worries me. It sounds eerily similar to mobile development’s race to the bottom and we all know how that ended: A glutted market full of often low-quality experiences churned out by imitator studios. I’m fine with offering low cost enjoyable gaming experiences, but I worry about…

NBA2K19 for $3 was the best deal ever on PSN and eShop.

All I want from this game is more borderlands. Fuck innovation. Not every franchise needs a new gimmick. Give me updated graphics, tighten up the gunplay a bit, improve UI and character movement, and give me new story. They did that. Now they're getting my money.

Am I the only person who find the complaint about a lack of innovation to be completely irrelevant? I mean, how many people who are planning to buy Borderlands 3 want it to be anything other than more Borderlands? I know some people are saying “I was burnt out of Borderlands after the first one, part 2 didn’t tickle…

How do you pronounce Latinx when said verbally?

Can you stop using Latinx already. No one fucking uses it, it’s not a thing and will never be a thing. Everyone I know that’s actually from Latin America hates it and will never use it. 

Looks better than I thought, but you can’t avoid that cheap look anytime you take an IP and change its original medium. When you make a cartoon or game live action, it’s damn near impossible for it not to look like cheap cosplay. The best way to go about it is re-imagine the character’s look for live action only. That…

Geralt seems fine to me. Ciri looks meh. Yennefer looks rad as hell.

I know it’s shitty but reality is Deadspin isn’t NY Times. Also, this is a heavy topic does the author have enough credibility to handle it?
