Has the team unlocked their ultimate rainbow-phasing hair/aura form yet? Last I saw they were at blue/black?

Not sure I'm saddened by this news. Whoever writes Claire's character has been torpedoing the show from season one. Claire going from female Frank to a Cersei Lanister every other scene has always been a drama-for-sake-of-drama anchor on the show. Coupled with Frank alternating between cold and...

There are other ways to keep interest fresh besides changing core concepts, minor or major. There's still a vast amount of ground to be covered by simply reviving the rest of the -mode system and expanding the non-ranked mode types and curating + adopting some of the more successful mods...

You have other options than supporting bad consumer practices. Regardless if you're looking for tactical pewpew or space pewpew.

Pretty funny after the fact now, but in the moment it blew my mind how out of touch the girl was. Had a fuck buddy relationship with a grad student. Pounding away at her with a good angle on her g-spot and watching her get close, she tenses up for a few seconds as she gets off, I try to speed...

@Tuco , your argument is boiling down to the fact that you're okay with them designing a game around micro-transactions as long as you're able to have fun and can play the game anyway. This ignores play time inflation, content gating, and intentional anti-consumer design philosophy that is...

More evidence AngryJoe is a fence sitter playing sides:

Thanks for enlightening us!

Finally watched this tonight. First 2/3s of the movie was pretty good and flowed well, but everything after the date came off as forced and poorly written to allow for the final heist and the dumpster fire of a Hollywood ending. If you turn the movie off after Kevin Spacey pays their bill, 7/10...

This is untrue. The business model that has been working for a while now is small projects for ip + fund generation / proof of concept for outside investment -> major release. How do you think Bioware ended up with ME / DA:O before EA purchased them? Look at their project history leading up to...

Random Star Trek question, what race or galactic plague was it that posed a vital threat to the Borg to the point they ended up allying with the Federation in the latter seasons of ST:V ?

Hyperbole is a pretty dumb way to sell the argument against P2W. I don't believe the suits running the industry are that dumb to cut off their main revenue source for the great white whales. The whole system revolves around being as insidious as possible and making millions $0.50 to $15 at a...

I'm sure it would be, but I'm not sure I want to see what 1313 has turned into after both Lucas and EA have meddled with its identity. I thought the saltiness of this one was particularly good. Meanwhile we have people still looking to buy Battlefront 2 because loot boxes aren't that big a...

WoTC finally got patched... 7.7GBs worth. Game needed more love than I thought.

Let me know if you ever find a genre of gaming that Steam Controller actually excels at over the standard Kb+M / Xbox controller combo route; or if they ever actually improve ergonomics / feel of the thing; or just make it worth anything in general.

Capitalism. The market needs to show SJW / Gender Queer politics don't make for good games. Nor do they do anything but destroy good companies as the infection spreads. Bioware / EA Edmonton being the lead studio on this front.

Supposedly NV is coming to FO4 either in mod form or potentially an expansion/sequel.

Since we're talking about activision, maybe this is the Next Big Thing (tm) for WoW. Why let farmers crash your in-game economy when you can crash it yourself. Maybe Hearthstone? Tired of dust farming and deck management. Now get top web decks at the click of a button! Probably won't happen...

Still waiting on EA Edmonton to take this walk.

Based off a quick browse it sounds like it's more of a patent for a multi-purpose matchmaking system than it is purely for an analytic driven microtranscation marketing scheme. However, marketing items to players from the view point of this is what the person had that killed you really depends...

Not going to get into a lore fight with you, but I'll point out your two glaring errors and leave the table. 1) Sauron never dies until the ring (his essence) is destroyed. He is defeated and his will dispersed when he initially loses his sole focus of his essence but he never dies. He's a part...

One of the core principles of the Silmarillion even if you got nothing else out of it is the concept of their power hierachy. Eru (God) -> Greater Ainur (Elven Pantheon, including Melkor) aka, Valar -> Lesser Ainur (including Sauron) aka, Maiar -> The Children *Celebrimbor was one of the...

Maybe I'm crazy, but as fun as pit fights sound as a concept - your description of them makes it sound like its an unnatural grind regardless. If I'm supposed to alt-tab or read a book/forum while playing a game to stay entertained, I'm not really playing a game for entertainment - how does that...

Good riddance. Guy abandoned what made DA:O great and gave us an unfinished, hollow shell of a game with DA2 and then a continuation of the mediocrity of a patched-DA2 with DA:I. Can't wait to hear the studio get renamed to EA: Edmonton. EA, you know it's time. Put them to bed.

You're right that it would take a larger market, but you also have to admit that having one of the major markets regulate it would be a good jumping off point to get the others to do the same. It also forces smaller publishers to kill the idea to save money on having to alter versions of the...

If you're willing to spend 10 minutes on the nexus you can get Skyrim survival mode in two or three flavors by downloading three mods. That should be the biggest talking point of this shit show. Frostfall has been a well established mod for almost the entire lifespan of Skyrim [PC].

I'd try and help, but I haven't played WH2. Good luck getting anyone else here to give you healthy criticism.

I bought it while I was deployed. Still haven't gotten to it or Absolution yet -getting there though. Raises the point that the only good tactical stealth games are solo missions now because no one has put serious effort to recreate or improve what Zipper Interactive started. Looking out how we...

@Tuco , I know you enjoy your job (at least I think I remember reading that) but you should consider scraping this thread and submitting it to IGN as part of a contributing writer portfolio.

The game play does improve with more unlocks, but only to a certain point. My suggestion is if you aren't enjoying the bat shit insanity/absurdity of the story to just quit. I absolutely loved the game, but I won't sit here and say it doesn't have issues. To me it was a themed amusement park...

Really? I thought it would have been this wonderful "what if" campaign:

Added a TLDR edit for illiterates. :rolleyes:

It was a game I was playing at the time so it had to be EQ 1/2, DAoC, LotRO, or WoW. Essentially there was a desync currency dupe or item dupe then the people mass /tipped small, random amounts of currency to everyone they ran across trying to outsmart the devs. Ended up as a sever rollback and...

This is a very likely scenario for myself. May just go full on youtube. The more I see of the game the more it doesn't look like they changed any of the flaws from the first.

Punko TLDR version edit: Below is a long way of saying, it's a modded TW game and does not play distinctly different from previous TW games (and in several aspects plays a little worse) - keep that in mind when you make your decision. Original post below: I managed to get a key from one of my...

What MMO was it that a group did this with the currency to try and crash the game through mass banning?

Won't lie, this review excerpt bothered me. Story driven games driving you to an external market seems counter-intuitive to your audience for this style of game. It's one thing to have ads on the load screen, but to have in-game references makes me want to question some devs on their concept of...

Your trust in humanity is inspiring. Remember this guy - Mr Ar-15 PTSD? Firing an AR-15 is horrifying, menacing and very very loud
