What’s funny is that George Washington is debated as a member of the Templars in Assassin’s Creed (there’s some pictures showing him with pieces of Eden) until I guess they decided to avoid that live wire by acknowledging he’s a genocidal mass murderer (who specifically killed Ratonheketon’s mom) but stopped short of…

Radiant Black is a franchise universe. You never know what is motivating these choices, and it could be as simple as wanting to tell huge stories but not having the time to write them all personally. Houser et al grew up in a collaborative environment, so just creating an entire world is probably their vibe.

Pretty sure the last time the studio interfered we got Secret Invasion. And the time before that we got Quantumania.

The first half of the sentence probably led to the second half of the sentence.

MrMattyPlays was the first long-form review I watched where someone didn’t complain about how unfinished and boring the game was. (I know AlanahPearce loves it, but I didn’t see any reviews by her on it.) He also released several videos specifically complaining about people complaining about the game because he…

Either the people playing Starfield on a subscription service didn’t actually want to play Starfield really or the people who did want to play Starfield quickly realized they didn’t actually want to play Starfield anymore. Or a combination of both. Neither is great.

I mean NG+ has I think 10 possible main change outcomes

Thanks to being a PC/console gamer with Game Pass PC, I don’t even think about $70 games as an option anymore. I just play Xbox-exclusives on Game Pass, look for an interesting indie game, and then when the inevitable sales happen I just scoop stuff up at 25-50% off.

Doctor Who’s Tardis shows up in Fallout 1 and you can get a raygun off a dead alien. It’s not that serious, fam.

You know, if I was pitching a Fallout show I think I’d much more closely cling to the plot of Fallout 1 i.e. “person from vault leaves on an important mission and finds themselves in a strange world” then straight up jump to “there are ghouls all over and the Brotherhood has spanned the U.S. and has a fleet of…

They’re radiation zombies, so living a long time while falling apart makes sense.

He uninstalled the game and didn’t hear Square say, “Please, oh baby, don’t go!”

I waited years for Kingdom Hearts 3 and ten minutes in I just uninstalled it. (Luckily I got it for PS+ instead of paying.)

My Guess would be to time gate things, slow progression a bit, but to also eliminate your character from becoming overpowered early on.

Invincible, Peripheral, Daisy Jones and The Six, A Discovery of Witches... Amazon Prime’s adaptations are far more hit than miss.

I probably put a lot of time into Starfield, but I’m pretty sure it was mostly time spent building my base that was subsequently broken by bugs and could never be used again.

My base created an infinite loading bug around endgame, so I had to build a spaceship that could carry all of my gear. Which is actually a more interesting way to play on the one hand, but if I had to do this from the beginning then the tedium of mining new resources by hand every day would have driven me nuts.

“Your game’s boring? Well, try playing the exact same campaign except this time with a shotgun that does 25% more damage!”

When a dev puts their blood, sweat, and tears into designing a game they absolutely love with mechanics they absolutely love and don’t realize they love it so much because they specifically put everything they love and nothing else into it.

Reminder: trips to the moon were actually incredibly boring. NASA was almost defunded until the Apollo 13 mission when everyone’s lives were in danger in (delayed) real time.
