is that what I said? or is this what I said: “For people who aren’t like me—we’ll call them ‘normal’ fans, no disrespect intended” Read more

This is basically it. It’s not about pandering. It’s about respect. I believe the canon reboot had to happen, and I assumed it would from the day Disney bought LucasFilm. But it was inevitable that it was going to take some time to deal with — I’d planned on staying away from all this ancillary shit until after The… Read more

30fps is better Read more

the great thing about movies is they’re short. I get more ornery about games I dislike because they aren’t short. Read more

they aren’t doing this in Black Ops 3 either. Probably the tradeoff for campaign co-op. Read more

If you think of The Bureau as existing halfway between XCOM and AP when you play I think you’ll be OK. I think folks rejected it before because it looks like a standard third person squad shooter but it really isn’t. And you know how we get when a game works differently than we expect. Read more

I think the perception was that it was just a standard third-person shooter but if you think of it that way it really fucks up your ability to roll with what it’s actually doing, which is… Read more
