WC - Online gaming is serious business, at least that’s what you’ll believe if you log onto a Call of Duty or World of Warcraft server and simply observe the sort of folk you’re sharing some web-space with. Whether players are communicating by way of microphone or keyboard, the result is the same – people lose their tempers and will threaten to kill other players over “crimes” they’ve committed against them, or to put it more aptly, things they’ve done that resulted in their virtual death.
A gorgeous real-world Miraidon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has been created in Japan by the Toyota Engineering Society.
JDR thinks the gaming industry needs more licensed IPs. It's basically a cry for Firefly: The Game, and why not? JDR delves deeper into why more isn't adapted for the interactive screen.
Nah. Video games are their own thing they wouldn't be improved by leeching off Hollywood more.
Read the article and it gives no mention of the many problems prevalent with licensed IPs, such as games and dlc being delisted when their licenses expire, Adult Swim games being the most recent example.
Only if they're good, if its going to be a 2D sprite art game, you can get away with a small team and small budget. But if you're going to make it a 3D polygonal game, you're going to need a large team with a large budget, and often times these licensed games are quickly pushed out the door, unpolished, rough, boring, bland, snorefest at best, and downright broken at worst.
We have an Indiana Jones and James Bond game currently being developed by two veteran teams with I assume fairly sizeable budgets. Let's hope they turn out to be worthwhile.
A new Mad Max game to coincide with the upcoming film would have been awesome. I loved the first game, I'm guessing it didn't sell too well as they never bothered following it up.

Hacking on PC
Rage quit&Mic abuse on Console
Way too easy to obtain hacks on the PC. Whats even worse these million&billion dollar game companies can't even come up with some decent security for their games.
Nothing like when you're winning a match and your opponent or host "magically" disconnect. Connection was pretty fine earlier but now uh oh. Trash talking is okay so long it doesn't evolve into you cussing every 10secs. It should never get to the point where you are yelling racial slurs at other players.
I actually don't mind when people rage quit. It just means that I've done my job and kicked their asses sufficiently hard. It's especially sweet if they were one of those people who were talking sh*t in the pre-game lobby >:)
Besides, microphone abuse can be quickly solved if a 'Mute Player' option is available.
Glitching and Trolling/Team Killing
Yeah, these two drive me insane.
