This article was absolutly meaningless.

By your logic football isn’t a sport either. There were more fuckps/year in the traditional sport scene then e-sport had in a decade.

Given that eating an unfinished meal could quite literally kill you, i don’t think that running a couple of laps with an early alpha represents the same amounts of risk. Everybody knows what they are playing with, it’s fine.

(Just here to remind that Minecraft also had a completly free in-browser alpha version, which came before the buyin beta, and was available quite awhile after the beta launch.)

Hes tweet was a mildly annoyed transphobic rant. Nobody needs that context to know that hes a whining toddler.

Well...yeah i mean, it was 5 months ago that you guys published that ridicules bitchfest about the Critical Role intro.

Yeah, it’s definitly a japanese thing. Thier games either have amazing UI’s (like Persona 5) or the worst UI’s from the early 2000's. No inbetween.

I hate this argument so much, because it comes with the basic assumption of “you can only enjoy this game for it’s difficulty”. Listen mate (and the 800 other comments here saying the same thing), not everybody enjoys the feeling of “overcoming a challange”. People constantly coming at this with the argument of…

Yeah, like Zack Snyder.

Oh yeah, you right. My bad.

*Sigh*

Why? ...because its fucking easy to teach to newcomers? Yeah, the DM side of 5e is dumb in places, but i can fix those in an hour, and the success and failure shit is like 2 seconds of improvising. Failure can mean anything from partial informatin gathering to a total fail, which can be made to be funny. These things…

“WoW-BFA is a single player game that happens to have other people playing it at the same time. WoW-Classic is an actual MMO.”

Oh look, it’s the biweekly Kotaku social issue report.

Well. There are relatively few titles that can cause a man to have a full blown existential dread, so the devs. of Garfield Kart: Furious Racing must have done something right i guess.

Yeah, no, thanks, no.

I don’t think that HPWU will be that big of a hit as POGO was. In POGO the gameplay is VERY clear cut: go out, catch som pokimans. In WU it’s like...go on treasure hunts to find....stuff? Artifacts and memories and characters and...it’s a bit of a convoluted mess. You got RPG stuff, an energy system etc.

Yes, paid articles do exist, and if this would be one of those then you would know that because they would told you that. Just read my other comment about this topic.

Now first of all. I work in the media, you don’t have to lecture me about how paid articles work. If an article is a paid advertisement they are obligated to disclose that. “Well they would obviously hide that” no, no they wouldnt, and you know why they wouldnt? Cause they would be sued to shit, and the publisher…

I can’t belive there are still people out there who thinks that journalists are getting payed off for stuff like this.
