the ark was introduced and destroyed in the same game, can't really have them be on a fully functional ark since they were still mia at the end of 3

It isn't actually destroyed

It's just severely damaged, but being repaired


Anyway, the picture looks like mega bloks. Like, the spartans and scarab and shit look more like toys than character models.

forgot about 343s retcon, regardless it wouldn't look like that if they went back to it in wars 2

IT seemed to be doing pretty fine in Hunters in The Dark when they went back.

iirc the cover art shows the ark broken and shattered in many places

I'd like to say that I'm surprised the delay caused this kind of reaction, but the hardcore Sony fanbase is absolutely toxic and has a long and vocal history of doing this kind of stuff.

You expressed similar sentiments about the sports game community. Do you have any evidence and/or first-hand experience which would demonstrate a pervading culture of hostility within these gaming communities?

http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/692992/sesslers-soapbox-killzone-mailbag/

How does this show that the Sony fanbase is any worse than the Nintendo or the Microsoft fanbase? Don't all fanboys engage in oneupsmanship, zealotry, and petty bickering? I honestly haven't seen anything from the Sony fanboys that I haven't seen from other fanboy groups.

Sure you'll find those types of people in all fanbases, but some community are more conducive to that type of behavior than others and the Sony one is one of those that exhibits this type of behavior far more frequently than others. This is something that's been noted by journalists in this industry as they're frequently the ones who are the recipients of this type of abuse and the common thing they all seem to have in common is that this is that the majority of it is stemming from one kind of community.

I hate to play Devil's advocate for console fanboys, but considering how sketchy gaming publications can be, could they be over-exaggerating in order to push a particular narrative that is convenient for them? I've been weary of the gaming press since the whole autistic shitstorm that was GamerGate which made me, and probably a lot of other people, wonder as to who we should and shouldn't trust. I'm probably being retarded though.

Two out of the three articles/videos i linked predate gamergate. One is by Jim Sterling and the other is Adam Sessler before he started doing coke and went off the deep end.

I know, I know, it's Encyclopedia Dramatica, but they do a fairly good job when it comes to documenting the fuck-ups of internet personalities.

Most of which is post-GG for Sterling and doesn't invalidate anything he said.

This is like screaming that Verbatim is an anti-natalist vegan in a conversation about Tonka Trucks.

The "all fanbases are just as bad as each other" argument is the same kind of argument people make when trying to defend the rather high rates of extremist sympathizers in Islam. It's simply not true, some cultures/communities are just more conducive to "bad behavior" than others.

So my game completely fugged up for some reason and it wouldn't let me start without having it break all over the place. To fix this I had to do a complete wipe so I could clean install. The previous game will not be finished as a result and I'm going to have to make everything all over again.

Has it? It seems pretty unanimous across all platforms

Maybe except nintendo. Though I don't follow anything nintendo related so maybe I'm wrong.

They have disproportionately been the source of a lot of this. I can't think of any other fanbase that's actually had articles written about them by journalists working in this industry detailing how that community and its modus operandai has been interacting with them over the last decade and how it differs from the hardcore of other platforms.

InB4 Sep7agon becomes the new Crimea.

"Sep7agon? You mean Русс7агон, right?"
The difference is Sep7agon isn't full of Russians, and people who would like to be citizens of Russia.

Just weebs who would like to be citizens of Japan.

The only thing I want out of Japan is the money their government will give me after they bring me in to teach their kids English.

Also maybe a cute girl.

They've likely been working on the game for a while. It's been 3 years since BF4 came out after all.

Wanting to show off the mp this early though indicates that EA and DICE are confident in their product. Hopefully it doesn't crash and burn on stage.

I do like Battlefield 1 as a name though. It's quite funny and links into the WW1 theme.
That's actually what they're calling it? That might be a bit too silly for me.

Yeah. It seems gimmicky as all hell but I like it. Guess we'll have to stop calling the original Battlefield game 'Battlefield 1' now.

That's not a problem because the original Battlefield was called Battlefield 1942.

still a non-issue

also, cover art means nothing, only the text matters

I mean yeah it doesn't really matter, but one of those is official art by Rowling herself.


Rowling really should have stayed quiet on the matter instead of jumping in for brownie points and contradicting her own work in the process. It just caused this thing to blow up more.
