I came back to The Escapist after a long hyatus, and I see this. Admit it, people: the title IS clickbaity. It needs a different title that makes it clear that it's satire, because the headline looks like a very plausible news (indie game devs have said this sorta thing in the past). Even...

Looks like I haven't given enough details to pinpoint the specific situation. Ok, so here's the thing: every year there's an annual summer fair which involves music at late night. Over the course of the years, I've seen the fair devolve from instrumental music until 12.30 to..... LOUD rave...

Ah, I had not explained that..... they got permission from our municipality to party up all night. Which is why I'm so baffled. If only it was illegal, problem solved. But today I complained and I got dirty looks like "can't these people have fun some time?"..... no they cannot if their idea...

Here I am, unable to sleep till 1 or 2 AM, because there's a huge party outside with an extremely loud "music" (music? rather, extremely repetitive tribal-like sounds). A bunch of people there drink and scream and listen to that loud noise which makes the windows of my house tremble. Why...

Meh. Not hyped. It's going to be a well-crafted game...... but it's not going to bring anything new, creative or innovative in the market.

Eh, developers say a lot of things. The same developers who claim "this game couldn't have happened anywhere else but on console/PC/tablet!" can simply come back a few months later and say "we've ported this game also on console/PC/tablet with even more features!".

Wow. I really AM talking with a PC Master Race! Doesnt that thread directly contradict your mantra of just letting everyone enjoy what they want to enjoy? Uhu, why?

"The most important mechanics"? It's still a first person arena shooter, the weapons work the same way, you still have to aim and do the same things you do in the pc version. Yeah as the thread went on I managed to pinpoint what was my beef with that game.

And who decided 90% of the players base wants the "high skill ceiling"? Furthermore, who decided the console version doesn't have a high skill ceiling just because it's different? Because I can imagine someone used to keyboard+mouse would get rekt when playing the console version. So how's...

For example, I play shooters much better with a game controller than with keyboard+mouse. I never was good at playing with the keyboard+mouse set, which means that even when I'm playing a PC shooter I kinda try to see if it can work with a controller. On a less personal and more general...

Tell that to how much I'm playing Drawn To Death. No, it works just great on consoles, but there's been this weird marketing decision of turning both classic multiplayer ID games (Unreal Tournament and Quake Arena) into PC exclusives.

I was moderately hyped as it looked like my kind of game. Then I saw it was a "PC only" circlejerk.

Look what horror stories a society tells, and you'll know what society is afraid of. Vampires: fear of sexuality and of disease. Werewolf: fear of people being dangerous (not a coincidence they were popular in medieval times, when riots of violence were common). Zombies: fear of the...

That's great, but does it even matter? Is there anyone who STILL trust reviews? Don't get me wrong, I think Prey is probably a quite good game. It's just that the reviews don't count. Reviews don't count anymore these days.

Definitely Twilight Zone. DEFINITELY. Really, you should try some of the episodes discussed here. It's a very very veeery good tv series, it isnpired a lot of stuff, and it's as relevant today as it was back then. Maybe, in episodes like The Midnight Sun or He's Alive, it's even more relevant...
