Elite: Dangerous. I was sold on EVE Online with twitch flight. Instead I got EVE Offline: All the Spreadsheets, None of the Fun(tm). Oh, and you have to pay another 30 bucks every few months if you want the rest of the game.

For me, very little. If we're talking pure co-op or PvP games, I don't really care about the lore except as a vague excuse to explain "this am why you all is shooting the mans." If we're talking MMO's, I prefer player-driven, so any lore beyond "this am why you all is here now" is superfluous...

If you look carefully, the tune she's whistling is written out in fiery notes next to her head.

So I'm guessing Rad must've gone through a Sonic-esque series of redesigns and re-imaginings during his franchise.

Except it IS a shooter... ? And it's not like they could've known Overwatch was even in the works. People seem to have gotten this weird narrative in their heads that by releasing Battleborn, Gearbox was somehow trying to pick a fight with Blizzard, when it was actually just two developers...

They didn't try to compete with Overwatch, it was just really unfortunate timing. Hell, Battleborn was announced several months before anyone had heard a word about Overwatch.

Can we just make a template for these "Look at me, I don't like No Man's Sky" threads? "Hey, guys, you know No Man's Sky? Well, I know you may think it looks good, but it is, in fact, BAD! It doesn't live up to any of the arbitrary hype, such as all the imaginary features we projected onto it...

Yes. By definition, grinding is an artificial lengthening of gameplay by forcing the player to do busywork before their character(s) are powerful enough to continue with actual progression. It's boring, unfun, and needs to be purged from the philosophy of videogame design.

There's no reason why they wouldn't do that. Assault Marines on the TT can Deep Strike on their own, yes, but that assumes that they were already in the vicinity of the battle and jumped in, not coming down from the Battle Barge. I somehow doubt that a jump pack is suitable for atmospheric entry.

Is the English version going to have English VA's, or just the German VA's with English subtitles? Because frankly, I'd like to hear this in German. It would add a lot to the immersion.

Provided it's humanoid enough to be physically attractive, and has human-level intelligence and emotions, then yes.

"Hey, this game is pretty good!" "A-HA! That's where I think you'll find you are WRONG, sir! For in fact, this game you like is actually BAD!" In all honesty, though, can we please get over this stupid, attention-seeking bullshit of "stop liking things I don't like?"

I'd be more worried that Cage goes full Cage with it. Okay. We can stop mocking him for the emotions thing. There's plenty of other stuff to mock him for. Like the fact that he has the writing ability of a sixth grader, yet acts like his plots are Oscar material. Or the fact that his...

Most of the negative reviews frankly come off as hipstery smarm-fests. The one complaint I would raise is that the first half feels like it moved a little too fast and tried to cram too much in. Aside from that it was a fun movie, and I look forward to the sequels.

Okay, Blizzard, humor me. If it's not the tick rate, then what exactly IS causing me to get shot through walls and corners? Also, lol at the idea that "We can't fix the problem because we have no data because nobody uses the option that we buried in a mode nobody plays." Gonna have to try a...
