I'm not defending snipers at all. It's a dickish, lame thing to do. But to say "no special treatment" when X guy gets banned in 20 minutes after being accused of stream sniping (with no visual proof of it, still) is special fucking treatment. Not to mention that banning for it, in general is a...

I thought this was really good. The cinematography low-key reminded me of City of Men, a lot of really deliberate (for lack of a better word) well done shots, some with action and some without. There was a lot of convoluted spy stuff thrown at you at the beginning but that is kinda in tune with...

The guy in question completely refutes this statement with a pretty believable story. At this point I honestly believe random_guy_01 more than the "judgement" of the PUBG admins. They keep saying "no one gets special treatment" despite specifically doing nothing but give special treatment...

It's open beta, just go to the store page on Steam and you can install it. Like 37GB or so? Played the tutorial and about 3-4 matches so far and kind of like it but also feel like I only really like the Vanguard so far. Right mix of beefy and shooty and fly-ey. The battle medic isn't what I...

I haven't played in a couple months. It just isn't that deep of a game and I don't enjoy any of the characters that no one else enjoys (supports, tanks) so why bother? At least in League I can pick a role to queue for, or PUBG I can just hop in and not care. Going to give Lawbreakers a shot...

The general consensus is that Apex was sniping, but Apex wasn't the one banned, some other guy was. Based on reports from Shroud / Summit viewers. There was an official post today about how they "only respond to reports from the offended party" and "if they wrongly ban someone they'll unban if...

Are there any of these music sites that have a good selection of "industry only" music, like Hi-Finesse? That's really what I'd be after (can't even buy most of their stuff which I find annoying) and IPT doesn't have squat.

Stream sniping shouldn't even be a bannable offense unless you're TRYING to get banned by running around in a video saying "hey I'm stream sniping you haha sucker". It's sort of a weird limbo of victim blaming to say Streamers have to accept that risk and can take measures against it etc. but...

I think it was disabled day 1 or you have to be level 70 or something? It was greyed out for me when I started the season but next time I bothered to look it was available.

OK so this is exactly what I was fucking worried about with my questioning the PUBG devs mentality. Someone just got banned for 7 days for killing a streamer because the streamer complained about stream sniping and his chat spam reported the guy. So far there's been 0 evidence that there was...

Oh that didn't even occur to me, but you're right - the home of the game matters a lot. Blizzard and Steam have the biggest inherent player base by a huge factor. EA/Origin isn't small but it tends to be people that buy their one specific game - CoD or Sportsball or BF. TF2 was a complete side...

I'm pretty sure I'm on the same page as you. Tensions and bigotry between humans was intentionally non-existent, rather the show used other civilizations as stand ins for specific issues frequently, generally to identify a particular problem and how humanity had "moved past it". That was the...

It took me a minute to figure out which D2 you were talking about :P The beta seems to have been lukewarm but the fact that Destiny 1 wasn't on PC probably make it a bigger thing on PC yea. I mean, the big thing with PUBG is it has shown how much desire there is for a competent game of the...

Are.. are you sure you like Star Trek? The shows have always been about politics and dealing with human issues, and the "best" episodes (based on general consensus) have always dealt with really heavy issues like equality, fairness, power difference, moral ambiguity, things like that. I'm not...

80s nostalgia is weird because I was born in 83 and I remember essentially everything ever referred to as 80s. I think the image of the 80s everyone has must have hit prime density in like... 89 or 90. Because I sure as shit don't remember the pop culture and music from when I was 5 but I also...

Again I don't have a problem with microtransactions for cosmetics using real money. I've bought crates in OW and skins on League and a few other things like that. THAT isn't the problem here. The problem is the disregard for communicating with the playerbase and walking back what they've said...

There's 2 "free" crates you can buy with your BP, each one has a chance of having a piece of one of those 2 outfits (the purple one and I forget which other) or some other cosmetic item (unclear if new or old, again their communication is fucking awful about all this). This apparently will be...

Dying as a necro in any build is pretty brutal. As you say, all the defensive stuff has a ramp up time and if you died in the first place it's probably not because you were in a good spot :p I like the bonestorm build but it is squishy as fuck even with Aquila and the 30% total from higher...

If it makes you feel better (as it did me), EA is only the publisher here, the actual developers are different. Which is probably why it has gotten free updates and does not suck :P

I don't know that you're an exception but definitely sound like a minority in this (so are the vocal outrages against all this drama, so far), most people tend to get all excited about loot boxes and shit, especially free stuff. It's not the cosmetics themselves that are at issue. It's a matter...

Right, I don't have an issue with crowdfunding events (even though this particular event isn't even pocket change with the number of sales they've had), I have issue with the mentality they're giving off with their communication and decisions. Also, these crates are again, significantly worse...

The main reason I care is because it's inherently anti-consumer. In this case, consumers = players, and that matters. It's an example of a mindset that is not going to be good for the longer term health of the game. They're taking essentially the least player-friendly of pay-for-cosmetics in...

No, I don't think there's any notification. If you cleared it with time left you should be good.

Yea they've been on a roll the past 1-2 weeks with outraging a lot of the community. A lot of their "statements" are from the fucking Discord channel so go under the radar but they do NOT look to have a good head about them at the moment. From banning the guy that defending himself from a TKer...

It's $2.50 for a key for a crate with ONE item in it for 1 out of 5 (at least) outfits. With dupes a possibility. Unless you get lucky it'll probably cost $30+ to get a specific outfit. Edit: Less than $30 if it's only shirt / pants obviously, I was thinking 4 pieces but a lot of those don't...

I definitely don't agree with the "it was so heavy on nostalgia" angle because like 90% or more of the screen time could have been from any time in the past 40 years in a little town, including modern day. Now, that does say something about how little our smaller U.S. towns have managed to...

I'm in the boat of loved Transistor but didn't enjoy the gameplay of Bastion that much, even though I would rank it super high on everything else, so this is still probably worth it to me even if I don't end up enjoying the mechanics that much. Will have to see though because I've been playing...

You can get the pre-order for this on GMG and a few other places (Gamesplanet maybe? I forget) for 20% or more off, not sure if it'll be more discounted on release but probably not until it goes on a real sale.

I dunno if it was anything special (although there were some serious firefights just outside my area) but hey my first win. Last guy and I were each hiding behind a vehicle with basically the circle coming down to open field without even grass, kind of a weird last stand. Edit: Oh, and I...

It looks like the entire trailer was made from a single, maybe extra-long pilot episode. They showed fragments of the same like 4 scenes over and over again. That's not lending me much hope. I couldn't care less about cast diversity or anything like that, I just want some good Star Trek, and...

Yep that's why I was kind of confused about that topic I guess :P wasn't sure if I was misreading something.

Yea, Twitch seems like they just want to stream anything and everything. I've long wondered why services like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc. were slow (or not even trying) to get on the "simultaneous watch" train so you can watch something with other people. Maybe I'm overestimating how much it...

I mostly just hoard ancients after a season ends. I need to clean up my stash and remove non-ancients for sure. It's occasionally fun to go stomp non-seasonal briefly with some build or other.

haha yea. I'm going to play Necro for sure but getting them sweet sweet stash tabs was indeed a selling point. I wish they'd give like 3 character slots instead of 2 though

Yea I thought they directly stated that they intentionally gave replicants a short lifespan as part of the creation process? Thus, existing ones are pretty much F'd, but they could change the potential for upcoming ones if they got control of the process (or humans just decided that was...

This doesn't look up my alley at all but I wonder if they'll address how terribly useless the polygraph tests actually are or just glorify them :P Didn't know about the whole poly thing I suppose, mildly interesting. So many movies would be so much better if the dumb "love triangle" trope just...

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, Malakriss, but here's the rundown according to Blizzard's wording: The cap for stash tabs unlocked by Seasons is still 4. So if you've done your 4, you won't get more The necro pack gives you 2 stash tabs beyond what you currently have. These aren't the...

You might have to someday acknowledge that not everything that other people enjoy, you also enjoy. The games with the biggest downtime are... well, pretty much just League, because of queue times at higher ELO (which is what people want to watch). Most other games have very little downtime that...

He's consistently one of the highest viewed on PUBG but there's a LOT of streamers with notable viewership on PUBG. I think Twitch is the face of PUBG more than any one streamer at this point. There's tons that even just have a few hundred viewers. It's beaten out LoL repeatedly for like a week...

It's a temp ban for intentionally griefing a random teammate. There's really no reasonable argument to be made here. Accidental TKs and stuff like kill-to-loot-before-blue aren't going to get you temp banned.
