You're going to have to be more specific. As far as I can tell (and I've played the game) every premium item is entirely cosmetic. So I'm not sure what you are referring to as being a blatant lie. So you don't like the developer/publisher. Okay, that's a fair argument, I can respect that...

Okay...yes. There's the potential they could patch in something that breaks the balance. True of any game, micro-transactions or not. Does that mean you are going to stop playing games because of what "might" happen? I'm really not sure I see what your point is here. What's the blatant lie? I...

As good an explanation as any :) I honestly don't know. Maybe they just thought they needed them because every other game has them? I do agree with you, badly done micro-transactions can ruin an otherwise good game. Any game that balances around forced micro-transaction items goes directly on...

Except you're wrong 1) Every single item that can be purchased for real money (in addition to in-game money) is simply a reskin of items that exist as non-premium items (exactly the same stats, just a different look). They are entirely cosmetic. There is nothing balanced around those cosmetic...

How so, exactly? Given that you can completely ignore microtransactions entirely, and can still buy those items, how is this affecting your enjoyment of the game?

Seeing quite a lot of misinformation in this thread. If you don't like the genre or the studio, that's cool. But maybe don't make up false reasons for your dislike. Just say "not my thing" and move on. About half the posts in this thread are either so misleading with their information it almost...

You and I must have completely different tastes then. The movie, just like everything Kubrick did, was complete shite. (Kubrick is the most over-rated director in history as far as I'm concerned, Full Metal Jacket was alright, I guess, but otherwise his movies were all completely forgettable...

A big "Nay" for me. The two games I was hyped for ("Assassin's Creed: Origins" and "Agents of Mayhem") both turned out to be duds as far as I was concerned. That makes this year a worse year than years in which I was apathetic about any games released (see 2015, 2016). At least in those...

That is what that means, yes :)

Feels like a desperate attempt to stay relevant. Does anyone even care anymore about the books? It's not like he's ever going to finish them.

OMG how is LV-426 NOT on this list? It should be #1 least desirable tourist stop. "Game over, man! Game over!!"

Patrick: You seem to be using the terms Trademark and Copywrite interchangeably. e.g. "Sony's Attempts to Copyright "Let's Play" Foiled in U.S. Sony Computer Entertainment of America's attempted trademark of "Let's Play" has been refused by The United States Patent and Trademark Office"...

Here's the thing. I'm not mad at GRRM for being slow at his job. He loses respect points because of that (compare to, say, S. Donaldson, who can put out much more complex (and I would argue, better) stories[1] in three year installments like clockwork, as he takes his craft much more seriously...

Princess Leia, my favorite Disney princess.

Nice reductio ad absurdum. Obviously one expects the police to act in accordance with their training and in a professional manner (and yes, I know, this has not always been the case lately, and your point about the racist cop is well taken). If they fail to do so, then yeah, they should be held...
