They have 3d radar and targeting computers so the whole cockpits in star wars is a moot point.
Anyways the game is fun, but I wish they wouldn't have adopted the slow speed for everything but interceptors.
In the old games everything felt slow then too but that was a limitation of the perspective/engine (might have made it harder to hit things). Unfortunately you can't live out the fantasy of flying fast in other ships like the Y-Wing aces in RoTJ that you see literally bouncing and destroying tie interceptors. And enemy player ships including your self feel lake laser sponges to compensate for the slow evasion and overall speed.
Imagine if they implemented speed in the way Ace Combat 7 feels for a example, dog fights would be real knuckle clenchers.

I found this game to be just too brutal and depressing as well as too RNG.
Same. I played it until the point where it was time to go into the final dungeon and then I just stopped. I didn't want to lose all my characters and gear I'd worked so hard to obtain. In my game world, the heroes surrounded the darkest dungeon and prevented it from spreading, boarded it up and put up signs warning people not to go in.

That's interesting. I didn't know that judges had the power to determine the corporate pecking order of a boardroom.
MattyC wrote on Dec 14, 2020, 22:04:the next time someone wishes to sue Youtube for viewpoint discrimination
It will be thrown out of court because viewpoint discrimination is a first amendment issue and Alphabet is not a government entity...
Websites were never common carriers and they do not magically accept responsibility for all user generated content just because they take down something that they do not want to host.
Just, the next time someone wishes to sue Youtube for viewpoint discrimination or other issue, depending on the laws involved, the courts simply won't absolve Youtube based on the fact that they are feigning viewpoint neutrality and claiming whatever legal protections come from it, if any.
Suppose a private entity does not want to broadcast a view it finds objectionable. The state, by means of the law and its penalties, says that the private entity must broadcast it. The private entity broadcasts the view. Why, under your framework, has the private entity not been compelled?
Obviously, private entities are not compelling anyone to post on their platform. I am asking why you feel they must broadcast views they don't want to broadcast under threat of being treated as a publisher. See below.
I understand that you believe platforms have gone too far in moderation. How does classifying them as publishers lead to less moderation? If, under your asserted legal regime, platforms are now liable for their content, won't that lead to more aggressive moderation and banning, not less? Legacy publishers all place substantial editorial boundaries on what will or will not be published. How would classifying social media as a publisher lead to a different result?
Who do you propose should enforce this demand?

Neither google nor youtube return the video if i search for the name of the video "Cyberpunk 2077 Review - A gamers perspective, not a corporate one"
I'm guessing it ain't location based.
thestryker wrote on Dec 14, 2020, 14:15:Dude, quit while you are behind. The idea that this is supposed to be a managerial award and not directed at the artistic, creative, and gameplay innovations (whatever you think of TLoU2) is so risible that I can't believe anyone other than a knee-jerk attention-seeking contrarian (so, basically a Kotaku employee) could even suggest it with a straight face. Just... no...
Seeing as a director is the one in control of a team delivering a product on a set timeline they very much are a part of the crunch problem. They allowed the scope to exceed the timeframe they had to deliver it, and the rest employees paid the price. This means they failed to do part of their job well, and thus shouldn't be winning an award for it.

Here's something really crazy. The only truly honest review of the current state of the game is Worth A Buy, and his video is now being censored. It will not come up on a Google search. You have to go directly to his channel on youtube to watch it. He recently released a follow-up video about the situation. The Internet is really turning into a big pile of fake news. It favors fake over facts. Ugh
Here's Mack's (pc) review (which is actually quite funny, particularly the rating segment at the end. He does it that way to try not to butt-hurt the fanboys lol):

JTW wrote on Dec 14, 2020, 09:13:Why not? We already have only four media companies, three retail outlets, one online marketplace. The main thrust of the modern world is corporate conglomeration, apparently. Seems Cyberpunk 2077 is being used as an instruction manual (as is 1984)...
Eventually we'll only have three game companies left.

One is disabled, though why having one disability allows you to speak for others with a different disability is not addressed in the article (and will never be addressed, as long as it promotes the voices those in the media want heard). All are self-described "advocates" for the disabled, so take that for what it is worth...
So did any Blind people actually complain to Twitch or was it a bunch of white people trying to feel like they're doing something? This is useless corporate signaling on the level of the Aunt Jemima change. Costs them nothing, benefits no one. If Twitch really cared they'd implement accessibility functions into their site, but that'd require real work.

Talk about unintentionally proving a point about internet idiots...
If that were only true .. on my local regional TV station in Germany (RBB) they brought a documentary just yesterday about the eastern German freedom fighters from my HOME REGION that brought the wall down with their actions and activities against the STASI, ALL OF THEM (not a joke, ALL) are Covidiots now. I even knew some of them, I had talked to them years ago in school, as examples on how to fight oppression by the STASI. And they ALL think that wearing a mask is fascist akin to STASI regime.. I mean.. WTF?. If I were to meet them now, I'd punch them.
As if wearing a mask is any different than wearing pants.
Sorry, thinking covid is just the flu isn't understanding anything. It's trying to get our parents killed.
This isn't a difference of opinion, it's not believing basic facts
