I wish that Obsidian would listen to their own advice. Combat in PoE is a piece of crap. Combat in W3 is awesome. Of course the "push x for awesomeness" crowd lack any skill to learn it. But that's not the game problem. I really like all the small details that come out when you master the combat and know your enemy and what to use against which one. Like counterattack will cut off grave hag poisonous tongues or Aksii sign will force Alghul to hide his thorns, Yrden will cancel specters transparency, which creatures you can parry, which attack can be dodged and which one you need to roll out from etc. There is plenty little tactics you can play and if you also add equipment and skill choices - sky is the limit. If it comes to combat I would place it right with Batman Arkham series which is the absolute top combat mechanics. Actually I wanted something more like a hack and slash where you have actually control of your character instead of the same "push x for awesomeness" with the awesome removed. Arkham at least had some diversity in the ways that you dealt with enemies, W3 you just use Quen, dodge to the side (curse whomever programmed enemies to autotrack you) and counterattack with a fast attack because power attacks are slow and you don't have that greatest of powers: perfect autotracking. You seem overly excited for something that's banal and poorly designed.

I think that a great misconception about video game writing is that its about words, which is why it goes unappreciated a lot of times.

Do you have butterflies on your stomach? Try drowning them in alcohol

Don't see the point of the argument, Bruce is just skirting around the fact that he is an unrepentant SJW that will support them in all endeavors. That or he gets a kick from playing devil's advocate for us

I hate this game combat system, I really wish that developers would listen to Obsidian only because they are the ones that said that the core mechanic of your game must work perfectly and put Mario jumping as an example. Combat is boring and broken, dodging works as badly as in every game that has tried to implement a dodging system with an auto-tracking system; which is to say **** all poorly. Moreover exploration is hindered by the leveled enemies that force you to put off exploring a certain area (quite bold for CD project to believe I would be interested in coming back to an area wasting valuable time of my life just to find a chest with some junk in it) Plus, I wish I had the ability to cross over mountains just to take the most direct route to my goal without being hindered by the fact that both my horse and my character are incapable of doing so. Quite frankly, I wish the Witcher 3 wasn't an open world game despite the fact that it may be the best open world game. I'm just bored of going from point A to B without nothing to show for it. Leveling is useless, the combat is boring and there are only so many time I can see the same ****ing tree before I want to kill my horse for being stuck in it and that I want to move on. I would prefer a shorter more streamlined game instead of one filled with markers and needless detours, the worst part is that you cant prioritize content since mere monster contract might lead to a meaningful sidequest.

One thing that bothers me, there seems to be a lot more body meshes for male than there are for women. Is it too much to ask for some diversity, or at leas a different cup size?

The thing is that they knew enough of Rocky to make a quip about how it would be better to communicate to them in terms of more obscure directors which are lauded for their talent. So they clearly knew that Rocky as part of pop culture and they used the contrast to communicate a bit about themselves. Namely that they are pretentious twats that consume not for joy but because they want to feel superior to others. I don't think that they meant to come off that way but nature will out. BTW, if you need a good contrast of what an actual cinephile behaves like you only need to look to our own Amentep who manages to be passionate about film without being smug about it. Kudos.

Free market rules...or maybe they're incompetent.

I'm pretty sure that Van Gogh would had burnt a lot of bridges if he had Twitter, plus the whole Da Vinci Michelangelo beef would had some historical record.

One thing that bothered me about Kingsman was that they left a lot of themes unresolved, I guess they wanted to break out of convention but it has a dramatic change of tone towards the final part of the movie. They spent all that time establishing the main character as kindhearted fellow who protects animals and by end he is just blowing everyone apart. I guess he was autistic and not kindhearted. Plus there is the whole nature of the main's villain plot which leads to believe that the protagonist's kind nature will have some role to play in the future, but nope.

I quite frankly don't care much for episodic content, I have just one question: is it the same payment model of paying for a full game that you get in small portions or do you pay a small price for each episode? I ask because committing to a full game that hasn't been released sounds a bit off putting, since it can't be completely reviewed until the end. I may leave any series at any point and only have paid for that episode but that's different from committing to buying a whole series beforehand and finding you don't like it.

That does me happy but its also just confirms my view that " that Romance sells and should be an intrinsic part of all RPG where you interact with your party ( this wouldn't apply to an action RPG for example ) " Romance really can enhance the RPG journey, I just wish most of you guys accepted and supported this notion Sadly it mostly is cringe worthy and people who support it come off as dense saps or middle aged housewives.

You may be right but without real purpose and meaningful strategy they will just be a vociferous and annoying movement that wont implement real change You can't stop PC guys, its best just to work within the system Yes you can, just like Communism eventually bent and traded ideology for the more practical aspects of capitalism and how Capitalism has become more socialized so too will the PC eventually be sanitized. The political correctness crowd want to have a monopoly on what correct means, eventually they will meet with the same thing that caused other systems to change: the public. You guys and your hyperbole....PC is not an ideology, no need to compare it to proper global beliefs like Communism It behaves like one and seems to take a lot cues from Marxism supplanting class with race; after all the people making this PC stuff up don't want people realizing that they privileged white kids. If we're talking about Marxism as in what Marx wrote, that isn't really the case. If it did, PC would be advocating an overthrow of the oppressors followed by dictatorship of the previously exploited which would lead to a raceless society. PC is more akin to Puritanical standards of social interaction, in that it's less about making radical changes to a system and more about presentation of ideas and standards of social interaction. That's not a bad definition but can you also tone down the hyperbole ... " Puritanical standards of social interaction " you guys are real drama queens Its actually very easy to be PC ...just apply yourself You're obviously blind to your bias or have a misguided judgement of what makes the core of political correctness, I'll clarify: Political Correctness is not politeness. I can politely voice dissent and have differing views without being branded transphobic, or misogynistic. The reason I compare to Communism is because PC reminds me of another term they've used back in Cuba "Ideological Diversionism ". What it meant was that anything that wasn't aligned the ideals of the party was against the law. Similarly the PC crowd have a desire to do the same, hence their push towards exclusivity over a more inclusive industry via attacking the current status quo rather than creating their own niche. Something that money wise, they should be capable of doing since they have managed in the past to fund projects which so happen are not games but people or series attacking games.

Whatever you believe to be the lesser of two evils is still evil and when they start escalating their actions soon it won't be worth it. Please don't try to frame my words in support of your beliefs whatever they may be, when I make broad sweeping statements they are meant for all.

I get the feeling that we're bound for a new wave of radicals that will push back against this whole PC, we can see them forming right now but I wonder what will become when they reach full strength.

This is ultimately the fault of the same government that spout all those ideals that they fail to live up to. Is it such a surprise that people are disillusioned with the state of the West? Also, this is politics there are no clear black and white and it seems like the West is the darker shade of grey.

But the west is tool for corporations that are behind all of the world's current problems. I won't deny that global corporations have at times acted unethically and have in fact negatively impacted the economic growth of some countries, I'm sure we have all read the book " Confessions of an Economic Hitman" but that is in the past. That view is very 1980's and how global corporations use to conduct themselves. Nowadays there is much more social responsibility and I firmly believe that corporations do more good than bad overall That's like saying a tapeworm that has fused with your intestine is beneficial because it can't be removed.

You seem to have missed the part where I said that i'm not for policing anyone i'm just against them changing terms so their condition is less of a stigma. Which it should be since it is unhealthy and while i'm not against fat people in general I would like to reserve the right to have an opinion on both their person and their condition without being persecuted because of being politically incorrect. Same desire also extends to a lot of other PC topics.

I just wonder why everyone thinks their feelings ****ing matter so much that there should legislation to protect them. No I'm not saying there should laws to protect overweight people from verbal abuse ....I'm saying civil society should just reject that "I don't like fat people forum " In a civil society people would feel ashamed to be a burden on others and recognize that addiction is bad for yourself and those around you. You want deal with idyllic examples then I can too imagine a society where people are responsible for themselves and don't become a 400 pound parasite. I hear you and sometimes due to frustration I just want to take that same view and basically condemn for example overweight people for " not taking proper responsibility for there lives. If other people can do it then why can't they " But I see this as a myopic view of the problem and to be honest lacking in human empathy because you don't know all the reasons for obesity ...sometimes its medical. And also if we target overweight people then where do we stop? Lets move onto drug addicts and depressed people next and " stop being a drag on society and fix your issues" These types of issues are much more nuanced and complex than just dismissing them Frustration is the name of the game and why you shouldn't try to change other people, they will resist because they see their "self" as themselves and fear change. So don't try because you will get frustrated and come to the natural conclusion that its easier to use force. If I ever see an asthma patient that flat out refuses to use their inhaler while having an attack and resist every attempt to help them I would regard them as insane if they ever complained about the asthma they refuse to treat. People that are predisposed to becoming overweight are not excused, that just means that they have a condition they're aren't managing or refusing to. I don't want to police anyone but if drug addicts try to say that heroin is an alternative lifestyle choice and that it should be legal then **** them and everyone that supports them. Same for other addictions including food addiction. Its one thing to tolerate failure but changing meaning so that losers feel like winners even when there are clear health risks affects people negatively.
