Paranoid narcissism. There's nothing wrong with a hip hop walk.

Some people are hyper alert to anything with the faintest hint of controversy. Context doesn't matter a bit.

Sega don't want to invest real money in making a great Sonic game. The last time they did so was Sonic Adventure 2 on Dreamcast, back when they needed flagship exclusives on a console they were shifting.

It's clear for generations now, there aren't any good talent in Sonic Team and even when they outsource the project to an outside studio, rather than maybe Insomniac or Toys for Bob, or anyone reputable, they went for Big Red Button and then you get the abomina...

Sounds like balancing issues. My speculation is from their trials they found quite a few testers able to "break" the balance perhaps by becoming too powerful too early. This is generally an issue with open world games because it becomes more difficult to control player progression than in linear games.

Not gonna lie, was hoping they'd make it more Dark Souls-like. But they went in the opposite direction it seems.

Underrated game. Level Design was groundbreaking.

The biggest irony of this article is that Deathloop is heavily inspired by the blaxploitation genre of the 70s.

I.e. high profanity, exaggerated swagger, flamboyant wardrobe, ultra-violent

Like many of the games/characters mentioned, this is hardly the first time a black character was inspired by that genre. But this is kotaku.

This is also a very American-centric issue. You simply wont find this way of thinking in most non-American stuff, especially the further away from Europe you get. It's a paranoid way of thinking that ends with an infinite list of checkboxes and no creativity.

Ancient nubians (and many nubians today) are black but the pharaonic dynasties after Alexander's conquest of Ancient Egypt where absolutely not black because they were greek - with a tradition of incest marriage. The most you can say is they were olive-skinned as many Mediterranean people are.

Alex Vance is half-black as her father is black and her mother is Asian. She's not white at all, if we're using "white" as a shorthand for white anglo-saxon.

And you've literally just proved the point of MLK's quote. He literally said "judge by content of their character" and all you did was judge CrimsonWing for assuming he's white.

You don't win arguments by skin pigmentation. You win arguments with facts and reasoning.

Thank god for a dedicated Slayer playlist.

I am sick to death of Oddball. I don't think I've played this much oddball during the entire Bungie trilogy and Reach.

Also, the game uses UE4. So S-E is already getting a bigger discount than a normal game.

Yeh, 80 euros for a game that's nearly 2 years old is insane.

There's a hidden mode discovered in Halo Infinite's files called "Elimination." Also, I think I saw very brief footage in a trailer somewhere that showed a dead Spartan being revived in MP.

Basically, there'll definitely be a new game type where the aim is to kill everyone in the enemy team before they can revive each other.

But in terms of Battle Royale, I have no idea. But we do have Big Team Battle, though the maps aren't the ...

This is pretty much the consequence of going down the F2P route.

Of course, many are asking why such basic features aren't available after 6 years of dev. I mean, Halo 3 launched with 4 player co-op, Forge, Theatre AND industry standard playlists. Not to mention, all game modes available in Custom.

Obviously, because the business model is F2P, 343i thought of ways to ensure their horrendous progression system would be complimented by the playlists. T...

Lol, all the virtue signalling during the last few Game Awards plus his strong stance in support of Kojima during the Konami incident.

As usual, when money is involved, suddenly people have second thoughts.

This is my biggest gripe. So many times I'm with full shield, and I face off against someone with no shield and in half a second i lose my shield and die. Unless I was aiming at the moon, it only means that what I see on my system is not what is on the server. Either that guy did have shield and I was seeing something incorrect, or I was in a different position and they had already began shooting at me. Or vice versa.

Lots of people are complaining of getting killed whi...
