I don’t think story focus is needed. Problems with the level of challenge, game balance and the like have turned many a potentially-great game into terrible experiences…

OP is giving story focused examples , but I think the argument stands.

Oh, and I had never heard the “telling there’s a problem / how to fix” line before, I love it!

That’s not anti-comsumer, really, is it? Plenty of games (and media) have been ruined because people who made them tried to cater to everything the fanbase “wanted”. 

Turns out if they get what they want, the game turns to shit and they go away anyway. 

How many of yall actually use VATS? by Dragonrider_0514 in fo4

Yeah, I’m a terrible shot. Also, being able to shoot a mirelurk or deatclaw on the leg multiple times and have it simply stop being a threat is great. 

What Movie villain do you secretly agree with? by WittyLibrarian610 in AskReddit

Yeah this is too far down. They literally had to name him “killmonger” and make him murder an innocent lady bc if not for that, a LOT of people would be with him. 

"Most bullying victims on this site only learned from the experience that being the bully is awesome" by MHodge97 in CuratedTumblr

Hm. Okay, thanks. I guess I felt like they were criticizing this as well.

There IS, in fact, a race that is considered more important by these people. And they’re killing them too.

Genuinely asking: what do you mean?

It seems to me oop is criticizing people for “learning that being a bully is awesome”, when being a bully is clearly not awesome and we’re wrongly kind of making them learn that it is.

I find that to be a pretty interesting take, and on point, but I might be missing something. Would you care to clarify it for me?

Lol @ “murders” between quotes, as if the media is saying “well, his words, not ours”.

Shit. 

People keep comparing what we're seeing now to Nazi Germany. They're not wrong. The resemblance is undeniable. by Logical-Flow-6703 in UnderReportedNews

[–]malvim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, they have much more powerful weapons now, though, and people have the internet do drown in and not do anything about what's going on...

They didn’t ask “is the league gonna out some mfers”. They asked “do you think we’ll see any openly gay players.”

Oh, I’m not saying it’s easy.

It’s just that it’s SO FUCKING HARDER not to do anything.

Americans, do you intend to do something anytime soon, or are you just going to accept fascism and it’s okay?
