You actually expect something of worth from this site? They go from 0 to "this is probably some kind of media conspiracy to make gamers look bad, I feel attacked". The author is right, it was pretty obviously a fake petition but as enthusiast press and not journalists I'm not super surprised most went for the kneejerk reaction, it's kinda par for the course.
I'll let you guys in on a secret, if I don't like a sites content like say IGN or Kotaku. I...
Ares why even bother? Anyone who prescribes that kind of...loyalty(?) to an electronics manufacturer is not a person who can be swayed. It's the same way with anything, someone who has a Calvin peeing on a Ford logo is the exact same kind of unhinged.
Like "how you cant counter them." What needs to be countered? Something a zealot would say "My gods not dead until the god says it is dead". Personally, my favourite part of this is this gem ; "O...
What this guy said, you're being played! Pandered to.
Gamers are seen as desperate, pussy starved, thirsty as f*** losers who would rather interact through a screen than face to face. This kind of shit does nothing but reinforce that stereo type.
Dota 2/LoL take so much skill to be played at a high level, im not going to say more than Battlefield or Arma but there is a reason BF\Arma don't even touch MOBA on the esports/competitive side of things. Ignorant, ignorant, ignorant man.
Okay, we'll try this again to get you to actually explain your reasoning. What about the episodic model harmed the gameplay of Hitman? What about Hitman makes it incompatible with an episodic format?
Hitman 2016 was a full on game, to me it just sounds like you and AndrewSquall were just kinda being children in the "I want it and I want it all now" kind of sense. The levels like past hitmans had plenty of ways to finish a mission, from obvious stuff to less obvious stuf...
Could you TRY a different way of starting your articles? Every single one is "I (My stupid name) have looked at something, let me tell you about it" EVERY SINGLE TIME. Doesn't your site have some kind of byline? Oh look there it does! Which makes your first line even more grating, are you really that afraid everyone is going to forget your name the moment they close the window? Shouldn't your writing and topics that you cover be memorable and keep people coming back? You don...
The episodic model was fine, they stuck to the schedule and with regular side content there was plenty to keep you busy. I always intended to wait for the disk, so the game is more or less a "full on Hitman" but each level in Hitman 2016 easily can provide you with hours of gameplay.
Maybe try dipping your toe in first instead of disparaging it based on how they released it.
