That's a shame. Talion's wife is totally a woman in a refrigerator, it's a really rote cliched story. The article wasn't about that though, and that's literally the only sentence that mentions it. Read more

Probably not because shooting a water gun and shooting a regular gun both map to a trigger. Read more

1- Why is it condescending? Is there something wrong with being a kid? Read more

Thank you. You have to understand that we get comments like this constantly that say "oh, Jezebel will be writing about this tomorrow!" or whatever nonsense. But one of the real defining ideas here as far as I can tell, is that our writers all get to do pretty much whatever the hell they want. So it's really… Read more

No, as he says in the closing of the article (maybe I should've included this just to be clear), he's a game designer and he's talking about game design. He said he's enjoying the game and looks forward to playing more. One of my favorite games ever is Portal 2, but I spent weeks talking about how this or that could… Read more

I'm not really sure what moral outrage you're referring to in this post? Read more

I think the analogy you're going for is more like the scene in the opening of Commando (best movie), where Arnold Schwarzenegger is literally carrying an entire tree on his shoulder, then chopping wood. He sees someone coming up behind him in the reflection of his axe, gets tense, then turns around smiling because… Read more

It's unfortunate that the industry has gotten to the point where people have this reaction. Zach was just trying to talk about game design, and even though I disagree with his conclusion, I was really happy to see a game designer writing about design on a major site. Read more

He's a game designer, writing about game design. It's the same reason I sat down to write this whole post in response. There's no "point" other than the fact that we work in this industry because we love it and we love talking about how games are made. It's fascinating to hear how different people react to the same… Read more

It's definitely a hack and slash, but I enjoyed the few hours I got to play when I stole Yannick's copy. The nemesis stuff adds some nice twists, even if it isn't enough to reinvent the genre. Read more

Because it's a strawman argument. There's a well-thought out article written by an accomplished game designer that doesn't talk about anything like that (other than a passing comment linking to a wiki page for a trope). So instead of talking about the actual content, it's much easier to talk about what "they" would… Read more

Jonathan, I'm not ignoring any facts. I mentioned how great it would be to have something like this on Oculus in the post. But as great as VR is, it's not the same as an actual physical rollercoaster ride. I think it would be incredible the ride in the video was built with vanilla Minecraft, no special programming for… Read more

Thanks for the reply, the last part was very nice :p Read more

Don't lie, you intended the hell out of it. Read more

I have NO CLUE why that browser shit exists, but it is the goddamned stupidest Read more

I honestly look forward to this comment every time I see the words barrel roll. We didn't use it this time! Read more

Yeah :( Read more

I wasn't complaining about dying when spawning on squadmates, obviously you don't have to do that. I was referring to when you chase a guy around a corner and now suddenly he becomes 4 guys. Read more
