Good

Even if he shuts down the emulator, the code is out there forever. He will be playing whackamole with forks and various other projects just like Nintendo does. The analogy absolutely works for what’s happening.

Even if he shuts down the emulator, the code is out there forever. Can’t put the toothpaste back into the tube. Was this guy born yesterday?

And missing the normal way to play games. You’d have to use ROMs on this, and at that point there really isnt much of a difference between this and just emulating, you are already more than half the way there.

So a game that has a casino in it, regardless of whether it needs the player to spend real money or not, is going to have to be rated R18+? I wonder what this means for games like Mario on the DS or some Mario Party titles.

Also, “in-game purchases with an element of chance,” does that mean any element of chance or a chance to not win? As an example, if I spend money for a currency in a gacha game, and then trade that currency for some character pulls, does that count? There is an element of chance, but I am guaranteed to win something. Essentially, I paid for a character, and I still get a character, I just don’t know which one I will get. I am curious if there is any nuance to this choice or if they just used the black and white blanket like most politicians do.

EDIT: Also, lol at anyone thinking kids care about the rating system. You all know you played GTA when you were like 7.

That would be “apathypilled,” probably.

That is true, but sometimes technology advances and it gets difficult to get the older titles to play nice with newer hardware. That doesn’t mean the gameplay needs to be completely changed up in the next iteration.

back to basics

Boy, haven’t we heard this one before?

Oh, before Battlefield V. And then again before 2042. Not sparking a whole lot of confidence.

The best thing they could do is trash their current engine and just open the source for Battlefield 4. Swap out the graphics renderer with a newer one and make minor adjustments to the rest of the source code. BF4 was nearly perfect on a mechanical level, bugs not withstanding. If they get the bugs ironed out there is no reason I would see for them to have to make changes to the framework of the game, and then they can do what EA has been doing with their sports games for forever. Easy money AND the players are happy.

People who like Civ usually don’t like it when y’all make changes, so it’s kinda surprising that Civ changes so much.

Real hair does this, so unless you find a wig with built in AC, you just gotta deal with it like everyone else.

This is the webpage for the project. It will have everything you want to know, and if you can’t find it there or the forums, there is also a wiki.

They deleted content I paid for. I couldn’t be happier to see Bungie collapse.

The Bungie I knew and loved died when they got rid of Marty, and later Joe Staten.

Suck on eggs, Jason Jones.

Star Wars Galaxies private servers are not a good experience. They don’t allow two players from the same IP, so if you live with someone you want to play with you have to tell them, then send them pictures of BOTH copies of the discs and you and the other person’s hands. They hide behind “preventing gold farmers” but like, who is actually going to be a gold farmer in a private server, and who actually cares if they did? The other 25 players in the server?

Nah, I’m good.

City of Heroes has been golden by comparison.

343 didn’t purchase Halo, Microsoft purchased it from Bungie and then licensed it to Bungie, then transferred the license to 343 after Reach launched.

But other than that, you are correct on the other stuff.

This list actually put AC Shadows, I’m dying. Way to out yourselves, Polygon.

Shocker

If what he did is illegal, what is anyone going to do about it though? Two people with no money are going to sue each other? Perhaps maybe a law firm would want to get involved, but I can’t see how this even gets enforced other than everyone forking to code anyway and completely ignoring the new terms since they wouldn’t apply.

AFAIK, no. The tests you can get won’t show exactly how much viral load you have, only that you have enough to trigger the test to return a positive result.

Depends on how patient you are.

If you’re a patient person, its annoying but fine for the most part. If you have no patience, you’ll think its completely unusable.

Absolutely deserved
