Outside of context Jr. seems unreasonable here, but this is after a long string of incidents borne of Sr. being an overbearing, hypocritical bully who deeply resented the fact that Jr. was the real talent of the shop, not him, and frequently would verbally abuse Jr. and the other son. Who wouldn’t have enough of that…

ISD is the quintessential example of why happens when celebrity developers are allowed to feed their own egos. It’s also perhaps the only overlap of the overall dotcom bubble culture with the gaming industry, exhibiting a lot of the same kind of lavish internal spending and egotistical hubris that doomed many of the…

The best part about Dominion is that it wasn’t even Ion Storm’s game to begin with — it’d originally been a spinoff of 7th Level’s awful G-Nome and Ion Storm chose to finish it after acquiring 7th Level to fulfill their six-game contract with Eidos.

I’m never going to see the $80 I spent, am I?

It’s incredibly obvious they’ve run out of money. You don’t send your staff home without pay if you’re not broke.

Valentine’s Day is terrible, but this is some deeply incel shit.

It’s sitting on my shelf in its box.

You could have stopped with “I’m a huge grognard” because complaining that a cute management game wasn’t gritty and realistic enough is the most grognard shit I’ve seen since the guy who stored 40k figurines in his beard.

I think it’s worth noting that Dishonored is technically a fantasy steampunk/dieselpunk setting with (mostly) American accents, and it works well. It’s likely due to the fact that Dishonored is essentially a spiritual sequel to the Thief games, which, T2's art deco aside, were much more explicitly medieval fantasy…

Arguably Dark Souls (and Demon’s before it) is Bloodborne’s past.

It’s that irritating thing we call “post-cyberpunk” which is basically taking a concept popular in cyberpunk and turning it on its head to completely miss the point of why it was popular in cyberpunk. Like that game that got shown off during E3 that was literally “universal basic income creates an unemployment…

Ubisoft has like, Far Cry and Assassin’s Creed and that’s basically it, and they get their own show, so I’m just wondering what you’re on about.

“like you millennials” — buddy if you were born after 1980 then you’re a Millennial, get over yourself.

Because not only do they own id Software but they also helm a couple of the biggest western RPG franchises in the whole industry.

Jazzpunk was the closest thing to a Brendon Chung game you can get without actually being made by Brendon Chung.

dude, i live up in reading and traffic was so fucking bad i couldn’t even go to the wendy’s in lincoln heights. that’s like a 2 minute drive. goddamn nightmare.

I actually love WD1 to bits — it’s probably the only Ubisoft title in the last 10 years I’ve legit enjoyed. The driving is probably the weakest part (except maybe the multi, which I turned off after getting ambushed a few times) but the game appealed to me in many ways. They also did the cruel, cruel deed of tying…

Nah, I’m good fam, y’all can keep Polish Sexism Simulator 3, I don’t need it

Nah, I’m good fam, y’all can keep Polish Sexism Simulator 3, I don’t need it

Hope and love? Is this the same Gone Home I played? Because the version I played was a story about an unlikeable teenager who eloped with her SO after raiding her parents’ house for shit to pawn off, including the expensive media player her dad was reviewing that wasn’t even his. Lurking in the background is the…

Holy shit, I had that Logitech controller!
