Good job, EA. Another franchise you've ruined.
i got the impression from that post-mortem jason schreier wrote that the real issue wasn't executive meddling, but quite the opposite; bioware montreal needed firm management and never got it. someone needed to take ownership of the team and no one did.
i'm sure it's a factor that now the internet has totally lost the plot and morons who sincerely think they "have a good bead on things" are retroactively claiming bioware hasn't made a good game in 10 years, "sjws" ruined bioware, etc etc. |

| i'd have probably upgraded at home by now but this is still primarily a gaming machine and i still get the urge to play retro stuff now and again. seems every time i go on gog or steam forums it's a chorus of "HOW TO GET WORKING ON W10???" guess i'll have to do it eventually whenever i decide it's time for a new mobo and cpu finally. |

| i've been treated skeptically by cashiers for using 2s before but i've never had it go past getting the manager called. a lack of life experience is depressing but predictable when trudging through flyover country. one time in vermont i was using 2s and using my passport as ID and was refused service because it was all "too fishy" and the cashier "heard how easy it is to get fake passports in new york". this woman was in her 30s. |

| i find their presence in games somewhat egregious since there's always that suspicion that the game's balance was altered to hinder player progress and make you lean on your credit card, but so far that hasn't been the case in any of the games i've played that contain them. i'm definitely not going to stamp my feet and miss out on a game i want to play over it; i find this hysterical over-reaction reminiscent of the way gamers first reacted to DLC. 5 DOLLAR HORSE ARMOR IS GOING TO DESTROY THE GAMES INDUSTRY. |

i just saw an ad for Fruit Loops pop up on blues and now i think i'm going to pick up a box at the store. i think this is the first time i've been directly influenced by an advertisement before.
Sure you weren't influenced by the fruitcake story 'cause Fruit Loops are disgusting.
i ate the whole box and got sick |

I bought House of the Dying Sun the other day, haven't played it yet, didn't know it had a VR patch for it until after I owned it, nice little surprise. Definitely looking forward to that and Snuggle Truck VR. Also wanting to get over the Alien Iso VR patch to. Time.
if you end up liking it, you can get the soundtrack for free from the composer's site in flac or whatever. i haven't played the game yet but i can't get enough of the OST. sounds like was channeling bear mccreary/battlestar galactica. |

The ships in this game are procedural. Are the weapons, armor, shields, etc, too?
i don't think they were procedural aside from color scheme and randomized stats. i haven't played since last november but at that time all the ships drew from a pool of archetypes. colors and installed mods varied, but nothing else. and as i recall the shield and armor mods had fixed stats depending on the type. i may be misunderstanding what you're asking.
but to clarify what i said, it used to be when your sentinel wanted level was high enough in space, they'd deploy a sentinel capital ship after you which had a fixed design like all their other models. after shooting it enough, it would stop returning fire, and eventually just disappear. |

i think i'll have to re-install for this. i put 130 hours into it over last summer when i was traveling a lot for work, it was an easy game to pick up and play and relax with. the new story additions have my attention, and apparently space combat has been tweaked as well.
i wonder if you can still 'destroy' a capital ship and it just vanishes because they never coded a destruction sequence.
these guys were completely full of shit but i enjoyed the game and i'm also enjoying seeing it shaping up. |

| so apparently that 20-years-in-the-making wizardry game from a few days ago was outrageous at 40 dollars, far too much for some indie title; and this is outrageous at 30 dollars, it must be shit to cost so little. i guess the AAA industry has succeeded in properly conditioning a pliant base of sheep consumers. |

it all depends on if the gameplay loop is designed independent of the microtransaction system or not. square-enix already played this hand in deus ex: mankind divided and that was still a well-balanced game.
i can't imagine this really having a huge impact if it's simply randomized gambling. seems like it will be even easier to ignore than it was in deus ex; that game just cut straight to the chase with "cash for skill points or currency". that would be an easier system to exploit by underpowering the player character.
the article does say there's an "xp boost" item but otherwise it's just designed to appeal to morons who want to set their money on fire for the thrill of opening a box. |

I'm as geeked about the giant robot fight as anyone, but I still don't see how you make weapons that are powerful enough to fatally damage the other robot, and somehow keep your pilots safe?
Once Grant Imahara got involved, I figured they'd remote pilot it, but apparently not.
i was kind of interested until i read they're basically just big, expensive paintball launchers. this is just expensive nerd mechwarrior LARPing. |

i don't even know if this guy falls on a political spectrum, after googling him he actually seems mentally ill.
i also generally find it kind of interesting to see people's thought processes regarding what is a 'correct' price for a videogame. in one of the hellblade: senua's sacrifice posts here people were expressing suspicion that the game can't be good, it's only 30 dollars and "it looks triple A". |

Full stop. How is that even possible? Did you grow up in a cave raised by wolves?
i mostly watched the discovery channel growing up, never any syndicated tv. but even when i was a kid i thought star trek was cheesy as fuck and never actually wanted to watch it.
even after knocking out voyager and five seasons of deep space nine, i still find star trek often requires its own special kind of suspension of disbelief that can become tiring. but it's been a good enough time that i'd like to see more stories in the universe. star trek online looks to be about where and when i wish that new show was set. |

i believe he is contesting there is nothing wrong with her in the sense that hoping she gets "treatment" is futile, because there is no treatment for sociopaths.
in any event, this farce played out more or less the way i expected. and while i don't like engaging in hypotheticals of this sort, lets imagine the prison sentence if this wasn't a blonde teenage girl, or if the roles of the couple were reversed. |

Their is physicalness in it, depends on the scale you use. Skill, certainly at that level. It is competition by who we know are the best at something in the world. AKA they'd cream you if you challenged them.
i've heard nerds arguing about this for 20 years and it's always this same goofy argument.
i don't know why videogamers keep scrabbling after the label "sport" like some badge of legitimacy for their passtime.
according to the olympic committee, chess isn't a sport, but you can win a gold medal in speed walking. do you think chess champions feel denigrated?
but in any event, the terms "e-sport" and "cyberathlete" will never stop being funny to me. not hilarious or anything, just the kind of passing funny that a child aping a grown-up is. |
