I'm not much of a fan of Evilore, but I had a pretty hard time parsing the response to this news. In the spectrum of harassment, this registers as an unwelcome advance following a night of drinking, and upon realization of that he backed down. With all this blowing up so massively, I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop? Nuking threads about this instead of facing it head on makes me think there is more to this.
Stripping naked and climbing into a shower of a non-consenting person is far more than an "unwelcome advance". That's full on sexual assault. An unwelcome advance would be leaning in for a kiss and being rejected which, you know, a normal person might try before getting naked.
I like how almost every mention of it I see on Twitter when I searched #NeoGAF is a bunch of a shitty Gamergate dudes pounding their chests and claiming responsibility. The internet is sure something else.
As far as this is concerned, I really hope that this keeps happening. It's a shame that it comes at the cost of a site that a lot of totally fine people enjoyed using, but hopefully these consequences further serve to teach people to not be fucking monsters. This EvilLore guy seems like a real piece of shit.
Their new tack is they EXPOSE sexual harassment??
Huh...
GG has always hated NeoGAF. GAF was heavily anti-GG and to them it's a victory. Which is really fucking shit.
It really sucks. I'd get so much of my video game news from there. In fact, I got a heap of news full stop. I liked hearing about world news I'd never see otherwise or talking about movies or the classic E3 threads. I met some really cool people on that site too over the 10 years I visited it.
Eh, this guy calls himself angry joe so i can never take his opinion on stuff seriously. Game isn't even out yet, how about people let the publisher/developer know in feedback and see if it hits the full game before stirring up a lame shit storm about every damn thing. It is a beta that's what they are traditionally for.
Then if it gets ignored and the game comes out, shit storm away.
Because most publishers actively ignore that stuff unless it becomes headlines and a lot of people complain about it. That's what it's like in the beta and he's commenting about that. If they didn't want people making videos then they shouldn't had sent beta codes out to youtubers. He also clearly says he really hopes that it's different in the final version.
Or an estimated 3600 hours of playtime. The maths start at 10:59 in the video. Angry Joe made a rant about the loot box issue in this game. These aren't cosmetics but actual gameplay changes including unlocking guns.
Average of 15 crafting material(CM) per loot crate 900 CM per class for 2 weapons 3 guns per class 4 classes 3x4 = 12 guns 12guns x 900 CM 10, 800 CM to unlock 12 weapons 10,800 CM /15M per loot crate =720 loot crate openings
It took them 5 hours to open 2 loot crates on average and you don't unlock them faster if you play better.
Wow...just fucking wow. I'm really hoping this is altered by the time the full game is released because that's insane.
This is a bit complaint AngryJoe had with the end game. Bungie increased the exotic engram drop rate but now it just gives duplicates a ton of times. It's ruined the special feel of it.
