Everyone make a goddamn FPS, gently caress it. I hope this turns out to be good but man, I don't have high hopes.

Every time I remember that we're never getting another Rock Band I die a little inside :sigh:

I have no fondness for Harmonix, and I'm not interested in another multiplayer shooter, but they're smart to be getting out of the rhythm game business. I'm at least curious to see what this is.

It might be music-themed, but it's still a shooter, not a plastic instrument/dancing game.

Just like any music genre there is a wide variety of quality in dubstep music. Here, I'll list a few examples of good dubstep for you:

Hey guys, that saints row 4 gun was pretty cool huh???


"JOIN THE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM FOR GLORY FOR SURVIVAL" is somehow cheesier and more awkward than all the over-the-top poo poo in SR4 though, and not really in a good way, so that's an accomplishment.

Dubstep sucks and despite the technical awareness/prowess you need to do it properly, it's a crappy sub-genre of electronic music and Saints Row IV was brought way down by acting like it's cool and listenable. Whoops I tripped and dropped my opinion on the post button. Game still looks like an interesting gimmick though.

Oh poo poo its an arena FPS? I'm a little more interested now and its seems they're going to target esports as well. Good luck to Harmonix, I'll definitely check out the game since it will be f2p.

I'd say that making any kind of competitive multiplayer FPS if you aren't involved with EA or Activision is a losing proposition, but at least this looks like something different, so who knows?

I think it's just titles. The images must be uploaded by Twitch and only ever are used on the homepage because every time you see something that isn't one of the "big" streaming games, it uses the default image.

Specifically, I'd want them to bring it back using UT 2004 as a model. The sports-inspired campaign with leagues and trades and stuff was brilliant.

quote:

Geek Social Fallacy #1: Ostracizers Are Evil

GSF1 is one of the most common fallacies, and one of the most deeply held. Many geeks have had horrible, humiliating, and formative experiences with ostracism, and the notion of being on the other side of the transaction is repugnant to them.

In its non-pathological form, GSF1 is benign, and even commendable: it is long past time we all grew up and stopped with the junior high popularity games. However, in its pathological form, GSF1 prevents its carrier from participating in -- or tolerating -- the exclusion of anyone from anything, be it a party, a comic book store, or a web forum, and no matter how obnoxious, offensive, or aromatic the prospective excludee may be.

Where did he start doing that? Want to go bitch him out for it, because there's a huge difference between defending minorities/LGBT groups who are born different, and defending a group of people like bronies.

I haven't watched the documentary myself, but if I've heard right from friends of mine it manages to completely gloss over all the stuff about how grossly misogynistic and outright pedophilic the vast majority of the brony community is in favor of stuff like "MLP soothes my autistic son" -- and that's ignoring that Patrick outright says he's never dealt with bronies before watching it.
