Jobbo_Fett posted:And then we laughed about he got jewed in counter-strike Yeah, a key point in the whole Ben fiasco that his defenders missed is that you might classify something like a racist joke as an unfortunate attempt at edgy comedy by using the concept of racial identity if you really want to be that kind of an rear end in a top hat. But if you repeatedly make the same kind of racist jokes about the same race repeating every popular stereotype about that race then you are obviously talking directly about that race and are a racist. It's not like The Unfortunate Edgelord Comedian was cracking wise about racial identity in general in his regrettable phase of using race as a topic for comedy or anything. He specifically called out black people over and over and over. I like how they phrase it as someone saying some things in the distant past. "Younger" Ben. Dude was like 25.

thatguy posted:I don't understand the whole lootbox outrage. Haven't lootboxes/crates/cases been a thing for years? These ones are very specifically p2w with power boosting your weapons and taking less damage. The other side of it is that if you play normally, it takes forever to get a lootbox. EA super hosed up on what investors needed to be the biggest game of the year. If people actually cancel preorders and stick to not buying the game, EA is going to see financial backlash on both sides.

Sunk more hours than I should've again this weekend into Space Engineers. The game is buggy as all Hell in some ways still, but it's really impressive. And if I wasn't feeling up to hardcore construction, then just copying in some blueprints from the Steam Workshop and crashing them into each other was a blast. I know we say this about the other games that already do what Star Citizen promises, but why aren't they all clamoring over this game? It's the slow tedious learning curve they're apparently craving. It's takes like ~10mins to launch and fully escape a planet's gravity. Landing from space is hard work, and requires a ship that's not designed by a complete idiot (I am a complete idiot). It's funny watching the Bugsmasher or whatever video from last week with it's sad little buggy, then switching over to SE; where I've got a crappy transport I can drive an equally crappy buggy into, strap it down, and blast it into space. Load up a few of the Star Citizen inspired craft from the Workshop, you'd have a game that is far closer to Star Citizen than the actual Star Citizen.

thatguy posted:I don't understand the whole lootbox outrage. Haven't lootboxes/crates/cases been a thing for years? It's two things. The boxes can be bought with real money. Buyable DLC has been a thing since mission packs way back in the day. Then they turned from buying a broad ranging expansion for $20, to buying individual items. When that happened, the individual items were often cosmetic. Then those cosmetic items started becoming functional items. The boxes are randomized. Now it's a lottery, that you can toss real money at, to get a chance at a functional item. I draw the line at mission packs/expansion packs. I'll never give a cent to any game that nickels and dimes you for bits and pieces of flair, let alone functional items. Going the step beyond and turning that into a real money game of chance seems to be where a lot of other people are drawing the line.

thatguy posted:I don't understand the whole lootbox outrage. Haven't lootboxes/crates/cases been a thing for years? The problem is that BF2 hits all the problems regarding lootboxes: -Required items locked behind lootboxes (and only lootboxes) -Tedious grind to obtain even 1 lootbox -Overpriced -The in-game currency or experience is earned regardless of your own performance within the game. Its just an obvious cash grab, but hardly unique. DOTA 2 kind of had a similar system? Not sure if its still the case but you could receive loot crates that could only be unlocked by using keys. Generally speaking, they offered mostly cosmetic but I think they also had some items that could give you a minor buff(?). CS GO on the other hand seems to only have skins
