One very important change to be listed: HUD cluttering. It's now fixed, and in the best way: entirely customizable. It takes a few minutes to setup but you can now tweak the opacity and overall visibility of everything on your hud, separated in categories like friends or foes.

I'm going with "low self esteem douche bags" instead of "hacker group". But that's just me.

"Bunch of immature assholes" is a better term, no?

But by all means, let's hurry up and make everything online only. Not to mention cloud based sstreaming services...

Yeah, this guy just makes it clear that he's an ass, where as Markus (I refuse to call an adult "Notch,) seems to contradict his beliefs with his actions. I'll take the guy who is consistent.

Definitely. But Notch did make it seem like he was pulling support from oculus because of morals. And it is hypocritical to claim concerns over anti-consumer behavior (I think is what he took issue with) to sell to a company that has lost multiple anti-trust cases.

Yeah certainly, and I don't think anyone is faulting Notch. I may not really enjoy Notch as a person, but that doesn't really color my opinion when I say I was a disappointed in his reaction to what Oculus was doing with Facebook, which I think is necessary for them to explode out of their previous niche market.…

If I remember correctly, Notch's primary objection to Oculus being acquired by FB was the invasive nature of Facebook as a service, wasn't it?

I mean, sure, MS is probably laundering Live data all day, every day—and they've definitely ramped up their in-dashboard advertising—but they don't generally pass on the…

I think the irony here is that Notch made some disparaging remarks about Oculus being purchased by FaceBook, accusing them of essentially being sellouts. But then only a few months later Notch sell MC to Microsoft.

This. I don't know how people can't understand this.

Squeenix or Bethesda. That drawing of the Imperial City/White-Gold Tower and Lake Rumare from the Northwest (you can't see the Prison or Arcane University so its gotta be the Northwest. I'm an Elder Scrolls fanboy, obviously) looks just as good, if not better, than the promotional artwork and loading screens in ESO.

Square Enix, make a FF7 remake.

Square Enix, hire this man.

Someday!

I just stood up slowly, my right hand on my heart and my eyes gazing into the nether.

Erm. Yes. None of that.

Indeed it doesn't—I'm talking more about the dialogue wheel and branching story than the base gameplay. For that, I'd prefer some combination of Bridge Commander and, say, Freelancer, but with plenty of opportunity to walk around your ship, and any planets, derelicts or space stations you encounter.

Someday, a developer of great skill will acquire the Star Trek licence, and make the Mass Effect-style RPG - with a little Bridge Commander thrown in, for flavour - that the franchise has deserved from the very start. It'll be set in the TNG era, and absolutely no mention will be made of Red Matter, or a Romulan named…

I loved the elevators. Sure, they got old, but at least the conversations were a Hell of a lot more amusing than staring at "Now Loading" for just as long, and was a lot less immersion breaking since at least the uber-slow elevators were in-universe, not "bathroom break time"
