I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree on the artistic merit of what DICE has made.

To be clear, I believe you can also have completely shallow games both thematically, and in design and gameplay, but that can be absolute fun - this isn’t an argument on what makes a games good.

Nah you just wanted to yawn so badly you either misunderstood or purposely misrepresented my take. Good snark requires accuracy. Try harder.

No. I specifically referred to War Stories - which I find trash game levels in both story telling and gaming design. Journalists are allowed to have negative opinions and treat certain games with contempt. I’d say it’s their duty. They shouldn’t be cheerleaders or approach a game from the premise of the PR machine.

I agree, but are all games great and should we take all of them seriously? There are many great games - just because DICE says “on the box” that War Stroies is an attempt at compelling narrative and gameplay (all narrated with “gravitas” by Mark Strong) - should we continue to analyse them from that premise? They…

Heather, are these DICE War Stories even worth your journalistic time? You seem to have bought into them and critiquing them as if they are in any way more meaningful than a Sniper Elite game. Battlefield is all about Multiplayer and the only decent Battlefield campaigns that have ever existed are the Bad Company…

Wait, what? I did not get the memo NDT was (until now) a jerk. In what way?

Except I get close to people all the time and need to put 2 or more rounds into them to kill them.

Oh they’re still here and they’ll tell you it’s about authenticity not realism....honestly, I’m so sick of them complaining that I got sucked into an argument on YouTube (I’m not proud of myself), and this guy shifted the goalposts so many times...took about 6 posts to finally rant about feminist and leftist scum, but…

This. Can’t stand the fact that i flank someone, and have to put several shots into them at close range to kill them but this bloody thing is a one hit kill.

Yeah, when you see how hard he was trying to fight a drunk woman - nothing she is accused of doing and saying absolves him. He’s definitely the bigger piece of shit here. Hope his wife is proud of him.

My point about Tennis was also personal bias. Not a huge Tennis fan, so when I watch it I can’t really tell the difference - I actually like watching women’s tennis as much as I do the men’s game, which I cant’ say for my “first” sport, soccer.

Hey, I’m on your side....I’m just saying this guy getting kicked off an establishment media corporation while all sorts of pro-Israeli stuff gets said without reply on the same network, is entirely unsurprising.

Yup- I saw 3 years and thought of the lives he’s ruined.

I want to live in a world where this woman stays exactly where she handcuffed herself. Boo to Twitter for getting her removed.

Was that clear in the speech though? Serious question, as I am only reading this story.

This hardly “protesting”. Kap actively keeled as an overt display - McClean is just refusing to engage. It would be like if the NFL started honoring the police by wearing blue ribbons or some shit.

I think it’s obvious he didn’t understand how stupid his opinion was or how racist his analogy was. He thought he was doing good. He’s also an established successful guy with a lot of status - it probably didn’t enter his mind that he might be wrong about something.

Lol, nope. You’ve already had it explained to you the pros of doxxing, but you don’t want to listen or counter the argument. Saying it’s pointless is not an argument.

The fight for pay parity/equity in any sport is all about how the money is generated, not about ability.
