ABF is one of the biggest retro game spergs ever. He regularly pens huge write-ups about games that probably no one else has played in over a decade.

I've spent several years putting together a dissertation on the objective brilliance of Quest 64 and was looking forward to sharing it with all of you.  Not now.  I guess I'll just keep it between my professor and I.

I got to the second paragraph but after he repeated the game's name 11 times I was out.

I don't come close to fully reading his posts but I always liked him. His posts/blog could be really interesting if it all was a bit more condensed and structured.

The Black Falcon always seemed like a good guy.

Never had any beef with him.

[demi]

No problems either, good to know someone is actually playing games. Could have spent that energy on a better game though.

[tiesto]

Same here, ABF seems like a cool guy. Him writing chronicles about super obscure 16 bit euro platformers and N64 futuristic racers is part of the charm. But would definitely be better off if he learned the mantra 'less is more', though.

Is there any evidence that he shouldn't have been able to get a gun? Let's assume every gun law you want was in place: he'd likely pass a background check since he has no criminal history, likely has no mental health history either. So he'd still shoot his roommate...

I dunno, gaf is gung-ho to turn any kind of violent news story into a gun issue. God forbid someone points out that the dude was a psycho who would have tried to kill his roomates, gun or no gun.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Well when you make your money on there being issues you find issues. If you're in the competition for views the easiest way to do this is find something popular and then shit on it. This is easier than finding something popular and praising it because there are competitors our there eager to ride your coat-tails and that opens you up for criticism that you're out of touch on the issue. This isn't just a feminist frequency issue. It's a general issue for gaming news. Before a game comes out, hype it hype it, hype it! When it's released, shit on it, shit on it, shit on it!

(of course for NMS this was sorta warranted)

Gaming journalism was a mistake.

Sarkeesian?  Isn't her shtick old news already?  I mean, sure- she has made some valid (and glaringly obvious) points before, but she's also been 'exposed' by the equally-absurd rabid fanboys foaming at the mouth to find any dirt on her (things like stealing footage from others for use in her videos and leaving out content to make it look like the points she's trying to make about certain games are correct) and has been putting out some dumber content lately ("I CAN'T SEE BATMAN'S ASS!!!!"-- Even though you can just pick an outfit without a cape and glare away), but it's going on what...4-5 years of this nonsense going on -on both sides- already? 

It almost seems like people post FF stuff on GAF as bait to get trolls banned though.   And LOL at the people who said that they didn't want to even watch the review when they found out it was straight-forward and had nothing to do with misogyny.

You don't really need to do any digging to figure out she steals footage. Different visual quality for game examples + somehow getting through 50 games in a span of a few months = I'm definitely stealing shit.

"Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real." - Grant Morrison

Have you seen some of the response videos to her uploads?  You have people stopping her videos after she says three words and going off on rants before continuing and pausing again to repeat the process.  I'm not surprised at all that they're feverishly-searching to see if she stole any footage.

The 6 players that played Titanfall 1 are pissed that Titanfall 2 is changing the formula up to try to attract the "it's CoD with robots" audience back so it doesn't die out within two weeks like it did on PC.

(Speaking of PC: No betas for T2: Bomba Day since Respawn have thrown their hands up and said "fuck it, not worth the effort to court you guys." Remains to be seen if the PS4 base will bite, but given the lack of shooters on consoles, it's probably gonna happen. )

Most of the complaining I've seen so far is "rodeo being gone sucks. The mobility/SANIC speed is gone. RAGE RAGE RAGE RAGE *wail and gnashing of teeth*"  which is  because slowing the game down is totally a move to try to get player retention from people that couldn't keep up with these players that stuck around to learn the mobility system.

They put the gameplay part of the "review" in as a matter of course, because if they didn't they wouldn't be considered a review. They open this video with complaints about the games story and how it's problematic, cut away from it for 45 seconds to talk about gameplay and then go back to whining about how problematic it is for the rest of the 7 minute video.

Just face it, Respawn listened to the people that dropped out after a week in an attempt to get them back. It's readily apparent. I'm not sure why the "veterans" are all pissed because they slowed the game down to give those players a chance. As for PC most people I know aren't even bothering with CoD or it's "clones." BF1 is gonna be the option of choice if they don't stick with CS:GO and Overwatch this fall.

The game was already (for those people) "CoD with mechs." So slowing it down to that basically gives them what they wanted.

The major problem with Titanfall 1 is (for PC) two fold:

-Lack of content (compared to BF4, CS:GO)
-No server browser

On consoles the Parkour was an issue for most "casuals"/mainstream.

If people wanted Tribes speed, they would've went with Tribes. But, you're right: Chasing that audience is a fools errand, HOWEVER keeping the audience they have right now won't be too successful either given the game was dead and buried under six feet of dirt within a month of it's launch. Maybe more content would've helped with the Sanic speed retention. But I kinda doubt it.

I liked the idea of Titanfall, played it for about a week and forgot about it. I'll be waiting for reviews on TF2 (lol) before dropping any cash on it. I am glad it has a SP campaign this time around.
