- Comment on Do you think we should have an index of how ethical gaming companies are? 1 week ago:
Wild guess: aggregated score card with individual reviewers having a score card. Let users vote up a reviewer to make their vote count more (or down for less) or ignore/block a reviewer to make theirs not count. That way, the user’s own views weigh the score card.
- Comment on What game had you like this? 1 week ago:
Mass Effect. I didn’t get far in the original. Played the Legendary Edition trilogy all the way through. Went back to the original. It’s the tank (Mako). It dies in like 2-3 hits and you get less XP for kills in it. It’s just not fun and they never fixed it in the original. Legendary fixes it. At the very least, it’s balanced to the game’s difficulty setting. Where in the original it’s stuck on the hardest setting, but only for the Mako missions.
Original came out in like 2007, Legendary came out in like 2016. Might be off by a year or two with one or both.
- Comment on "People were just not ready for" Starfield, says game's composer as he talks "visionary" Todd Howard 3 weeks ago:
The game is what wasn’t ready. They shipped without a map for about a year. They ignored game breaking bugs posted to their community Discord (the official one they moderate). One notable one that was still unpatched after a year of being notified was how in random ship encounters, the leader of the enemies would be aligned to Constellation, meaning if you or anyone in your group killed them, all your allies turn against you. That should have been an easy fix. They just did not care.

Wait hold up, wasn’t Sherry like 10 when she met Leon in RE2 back on the PS1?
- Comment on Valve accused of "letting children and adults alike illegally gamble" via loot boxes in New York state lawsuit 5 weeks ago:
The Super Bowl (American football championship game) promotes betting. What’s the problem? Is gambling legal in the United States outside of Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and Native American reservations, or isn’t it? They need to make up their mind about that. Either allow it everywhere and post gambling help lines like the casinos do… or don’t allow it.
I’m not a fan, personally. I don’t gamble. Period. I have no real opinion on whether it should be legal though, where I am, where you are, or in the state of New York.
