I just don't see how anyone expects the harassment to stop. Anyone can just make dozens of twitter accounts and say whatever they want. The idea that we can reason with that behavior is absurd and likely fuels it even more. It's like some weird DARE campaign for internet manners.
I just don't think this style of criticism makes much sense for the "co-op MMOs" that are coming out now. The discussion is interesting, but at the end of the day it's like arguing about the quest text everyone skips in MMOs. It's just filler to get you hooked on the progression loop and a means to an end.
It really saddens me that the majority of really popular mobile games are akin to a flash game made like 15 years ago. Those were fun when I was a teenager but I can't imagine playing them outside of a commute.
Other than the aforementioned voice actors union, what other creative industries have strong unions? Any time I see unions discussed, it seems to be geared mostly towards factory-line work or some other blue-collar context.
I love how the idea of a 12x12 room for VR is so impossible in their SF perspective. Doesn't seem that hard if you have a home office or a decent sized living/family room in any cheaper part of the country.
I really like how much preparation went into this quicklook. Vinny had discrete stages that he wanted to show and didn't get too bogged down doing one single thing.
A lot of GB quick looks for larger management/sim style games fall into the trap of just being a snapshot of the game and the person doesn't showcase the extreme ends of the timeline of play.
I've played a lot of Warframe and Borderlands and those games actually make the gameplay exciting and varied in an interesting way which The Divison doesn't. The Division is basically a generic TPS with decent graphics.
I really want to see like a bidding war between Casper Mattress and Leesa Mattress. Maybe one only backs the Bombcast and the other one backs the Beastcast and the ad spots have East vs West beef.
Seems like they're making the worst of both platforms at this point. PC gets extremely restrictive games on the Windows Store that take away reasons to buy the PC version and Xbox loses the stability of a closed platform with static hardware. Let's just get rid of advantages of both systems you guys, people will love it.
All MS has to do is what Rockstar has adopted for PC. Put out a console version, wait a while, then put out a better PC version and double dip some of your sales. That or just release Master Chief Collection on PC and make millions overnight.
