| Right? I wish common sense judges like that were more prevalent, across the country. Not that it would work for every case, but a HUGE chunk of them can and should be decided by one person in a half hour or less. At the very least, someone like Judge Judy could examine your case and decide if it even deserves to be filed at all. But then the blood-sucking lawyers would raise hell in the face of such efficiency. |

| I was surprised to see this nowhere in the top 10 best sellers on Steam this morning. Concurrent player counts for this brand new game are barely competing with how many still play Saints Row 3 or 4... Maybe this new IP thing really bit them in the ass, or they've done a piss-poor job marketing it. Nobody knows it's Volition. |

Deep Silver didn't buy Volition to tell them what to do. They bought them because they wanted the studio responsible for Saints Row and Red Faction because they thought those were good games. Volition could make whatever they want, and they chose to make this slightly different spin-off.
Deep Silver does own Saints Row, but what possible reason would they have for saying no, you can't make amother game in this well-liked multi-million selling franchise we paid so much to acquire? They don't own Red Faction, however, but I still would like to see them try open world destruction again... Maybe next time. |

Fitting line about this seasons GoT.
Not really a spoiler but hidden for those late watchers.
The pace is comically speedy, fit to be set to the Benny Hill theme
I liked it better when it was based on a book instead of television writers.
But I'm still watching. 
Yeah, I don't get it, why the rush to finish it? What we've seen so far of this shorter season could have been two full-length ones in the earlier style...
If they have enough content, and the ratings are the highest they've ever been (those don't even include streaming), what am I missing? Some newly-appointed douchebag exec put the kiebash on it just because he can? Or are they in some kind of budget crunch situation where they failed to monetize well enough to cover escalating production costs?
Just trying to understand how HBO could stumble at the finish line like this, so grossly mishandling their highest-rated show of all time. It's still entertaining, but they've clearly lost their way without the guidance of the books to flesh it out and reminds me of any number of other series who were canceled prematurely and had to desperately shoehorn everything they could into the final episodes. |

Looks like a mindless third person shooter with Saints Row-esque jokes/innuendo? I guess there's some bit of customization but these trailers don't really help. :X
Funny you should say that... Not sure why it isn't mentioned here like it is on the Steam store page, but this is the new game from the guys who made Saints Row. I dunno why they chose to differentiate it from that series while still maintaining a lot of the same style, humor, and general gameplay ideas, but this is basically Saints Row 5 with a wider cast of playable pre-made characters. They even have Johnny Gat as a pre-order bonus. |

| Nevermind how difficult it can be to locate someone in the map, what about how small the chances are that you even get put into the same match as a streamer and can identify when you do? It's not like DayZ or any number of other games where it's as simple as finding out the name of the server they're on and choosing to connect to the same one, the matchmaking is all random and anonymous for the most part, isn't it? With all the dumb luck involved preventing you from purposely doing it whenever you want, how can it possibly be such a significant issue that rules need to be made about it? |

| If it's "AI" and not just a bot that's been programmed to play, how can they have any control over or make any guarantees about the APM? I mean, if it's actually thinking and acting for itself, why wouldn't it do as much as it could as fast as it possibly could, like a competitive player does? It's not remotely fair on that basis alone. |

| If you do already play, though, you create a new throwaway character that is automatically level 80 and has access to mirror copies of most of your account's assets. Nothing carries over from this beta/demo back to the real game. So then you can fuck around and do whatever you want without it impacting your actual stuff. Like, try out the ectoplasm gambling and see how rich you can get before inevitably your luck runs out and you go broke. |

| The vast majority of people do not treat Early Access like a alpha/beta test and consider bug-fixing a priority, they treat it as if it's a released game. They tear through content despite any issues and then complain when there's nothing left to do. If they want people to continue playing and encouraging their friends to buy and play it, too, they HAVE to provide new content. |

CSGO stickers and graffiti claim second place, slow week in the gaming world.
Or, to many of the tens of millions of people involved with one of the biggest communities that exist in gaming, it was one of the most exciting weeks of the year... I'm not into it, either, but you're essentially dismissing the television ratings for the first week of February because you don't watch pro football. |

Rec specs are a bit of a pigfucker aren't they considering they'll run just fine on crappy ol' consoles. Sounds like it's going to be an unoptimized POS. And if it doesn't run on Win 7 they may as well not even bother.
Why should they support a dead OS?
Yeah, why go after 95% of the market, right?
Windows 7 is 36% and shrinking. |

Hmm, no mention of the required OS. Is that good news or bad news?
I would assume 8/10 are the required...Blizzard just dropped support for 7 on many of their games, and I'm sure Activision is at the very least doing the same tier of OS support.
Not 7, lol, there'd be a HUGE controversy if they did that. They decided to finally drop XP and Vista this year, going into effect in October.
Otherwise, yes, I agree that the OS requirement for Destiny 2 will probably be in line with those other games because it's being delivered by Blizzard through their launcher app.

8GB of ram, lol.
What's wrong with that? It's about time games started using more, that's why we moved to 64-bit. The majority of PC gamers have 8GB or more in their machines according to Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/ |
