RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS - 'NON-FAKE-NEWS EDITION'
Just replayed ME3. Well, I stopped after the Cerberus base because it gets boring after that. They should have taken a page from ME2 where there was this kind of 'Dirty Dozen' vibe going on, you were building a team and it was all culminating in final mission impossible thing you were going to do. Instead they slow your movement speed down and drown you in exposition. It gets self indulgent and masturbatory, and really it's all just hiding 3 different endings. Where is the bossfight. The bossfight in ME2 was good. Good enough anyway. Don't take away player agency and assume we are going to care about the story for an extended non skippable segment. That's assuming too much. Shame about Andromeda.

Belgium, Hawaii to ban, regulate in-game loot boxes as gambling
Well, nothing much is going to come of it. Who wants to bet the lootboxes are coming back to battlefront with some small band aid.

So far just talk and fallout from Battlefront 3. EA's greed bit them in the ass. They don't know how to say no to more money even if it damages their IP. This is good news for consumers though. None of the gambling but not gambling ****ery benefits us. As far as legislators over reaching, go cry me a river.

Yeah, it wasn't my thing either. Too much nerd humor and overall generic despite the flashy cartoon graphics. Only fun with friends really, but I didn't bother. And Lol at it being underrated here. It was hyped as much as any game when it was released, 8 years ago. The in game design is pretty awesome, it gets very MMOish and boring with the narrow focus on multiplayer coop though. Miles better design wise than overwatch for instance, which has a similar style. It has midget berserkers who turn into giant berserkers after you shoot their heads off. I mean think about that. It's mostly good in places though, not throughout. Like in the Torque campaign of carnage where the whole thing is being narrated like a WWF vendetta. For lack of a better word the design, the VO, it's 'air guitar awesome'

Ohh, I see what you mean. No, they can't just remove a game you own because they made an enhanced edition.

What are you playing now
Store page still exists: http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/72850/ Workshop still exists. Even if Skyrim's store page were removed from Steam, you'd still have Skyrim in your games. Did you look for "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim?" rather than just "Skyrim?" I just searched for Skyrim and this is what I got: http://store.steampowered.com/search/?term=skyrim Weird. I guess I have to search for it directly from my library. Oh well, thanks a bunch. I go put that thing to the downloads! EDIT: weird, it does not show up in the search at all for me. I even searched for the individual dlc's but the search came up with no results. You should get a mod organizer for skyrim. The STEAM workshop is not equipped to handle installing 100 mods. The mods themselves you get here : https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/?

Mass Effect Andromeda. It's ,well, not very good. The face animations are the least of its problems. I don't understand how anyone could sign off on the terrible design of the alien races. There is this new snake-like race that's like a discount version of the fish-like race from the old games. (drell) Nevermind, there is too much wrong for me to bother writing a list. Still, it's a fun shooter. Just shows how much you can put up with if you have solid base mechanics.

The model is free to play though, this is warframe with stormtroopers and they want a hefty purchase price up front as well. Add to that a multiplayer advantage, well that last bit is complete heresy.

Well my problem isn't specific, I don't even play the game and have no intention of it and I'm still mad. I don't like getting screwed, and this general development is all about teaching players to accept getting screwed, softly at first to cause minimum outcry and then with ever rising intensity.

I guess the point is that rewards should't be determined by the whatever the maximum number of times they can get paid along the way is.

Yeah, but the whole experience is designed around getting people to spend. You want people to cave in and do just that, not sludge through the grind. That's going to hurt the game experience and still be worth it for a behemoth title like Battlefront. Same deal with Shadow of Mordor. Games are designed that way from the ground up including being able to buy a competitive advantage in multiplayer.

And a bunch of death threats to devs, apparently. There is always going to be death threats when a thread has 40.000 replies or dislikes. Nature of the internet.

I was thinking, we should come up with a scoring system for loot boxes and micro transactions. How about 'MBFL Score in percent' Microtransactions and Loot boxes ****ery Level, so people could avoid those titles.

How does Louie CK do it, he is more or less dodging the whole thing. Kevin Spacey's career is probably over.- You did WHAT...?!
Any bets on who the next Hollywood sex offender is going to be ?- You did WHAT...?!
It's not all that. Why would you want to be on the clock at home. That's where you go to relax.- You did WHAT...?!
Deflate their airguns when you catch them ^^ Though i wouldnt be surprised if they actually took it to the police or something, even though they are the ones to blame. Modern teens are mostly crap lol Is that you dad ?- You did WHAT...?!
The little ****s in the yard have started shooting at my bike with air guns, usually they just deflate the tires and laugh at me while I take a detur to work. Nice grouping around the logo. Some day. Some day I'm going to get a hold of one of them in the act. - You did WHAT...?!
