    A lot of people seem to be under the impression that you either love being around everybody all the time or don't. What I think is pretty astonishing is the lack of perspective that can come from both sides of that argument. One the one half, you have the self-diagnosed "extroverts" who claim that they need people to be around them in order to be happy. And on the other side of the coin, there are the self-proclaimed "introverts" that say they hate people or would rather "read a book than party" (as if the "extroverts" don't also read). The internet eats that stuff up. Both of the words "introvert" and "extrovert" are overused. The real truth is that sometimes people like being alone, and sometimes people don't. Nobody is consistently happy being around others or being secluded. If they think they are, they're post-rationalizing the situation they've already been placed in.

    We all want people around us some of the time. We all want to be alone some of the time. Can we, as a culture, please move on?

    I do believe that it is best to keep only a few true friends around people are to annoying in groups just look at us on the internet. Keep on going strong.

    The only reason people play Dark Souls is 'cause it's hard. As in, everyone would probably ignore it if it wasn't.

    This makes me wonder why the Witcher wasn't as popular as Dark Souls. Easily as difficult combat wise, notably more difficult outside combat, and a good storyline to boot. Oh, and not to mention that your decision actually influence the progress of the game.

    I agree. It's not even that good of a game, or, in my opinion, a good game at all. The controls are clunky as hell.

    I'm still angry at Dark Souls for perpetuating the "we'll let fans fix our terrible pc port after they pay for it" crap

    So, you mean exactly the same thing that happened with GTA IV? I seriously think developers shouldn't develop anything for consoles; porting to console seems like the easier job.

    I'm tired of seeing half-ass game released. If i let the PS4 port of Blacklight: Retrbution end up terrible then i would feel shame if a guy on the internet did what the qa and devs job are for free. NOT THAT HARD TO QA YOUR GAMES PEOPLE!!

    QA is the Quality Assurance department of a company. Think of Beta Testers but paid. I work for Zombie Studios tjey a game called Blacklight Retribution. Its been on PC for 2 years and was ported to PS4 on it's release. If that port was tertible and clunky i would've hated myself for allowing it to be clunky. Idk why AAA publishers can sleep at night knowing the thing they made is clunky.

    I'm aware of what QA is, it's the broken spelling and grammar that was the issue.

    Phones with 3 1/2 inch screens are hard to use correctly (especially after I get off of work) But regardless. If you know what a QA department does you should at least be able to grasp my opinion.

    OT: After playing a bit of Titanfall I'm somewhat disappointed in it's lack of private matches and short Campaign. And EA is allowing pre-loads of all of the DLC in the Season Pass. So I have every DLC for this year pre-loaded into my computer but have to wait to play it? Sounds a bit like the classic "On-Disc DLC" practice. Everything else is great though.
