Well it’s not really a surprise that a lot of people, especially young adults, wouldn’t have predicted the pitfalls of turning a hobby into your job.

Like, “play video games for a living” sounds awesome on paper, once you HAVE to do it in on a specific schedule to keep it going it starts to feel like actual work. 

All of the “get woke, go broke” claims I’ve seen for this game seem to be centered around the fact that a young black woman is the Boss stand-in on the cover.

Free to play feels like where Knockout City should have been from the beginning. I never would have paid $20 for it, sight unseen. But after trying it for free on GamePass, I was hooked and played nothing else for a few months.  If people beyond GamePass users could have got it for free, Ty

Yeah if I had any criticism of it, it’s that once you figure out how everything works, it’s over basically immediately. But honestly, that’s okay, because while you’re figuring out how everything works you will be obsessed and at least for me personally that level of obsession would not be sustainable for long.

Tell me you have no idea what’s available on GamePass without telling me you have no idea what’s available on GamePass.

I pretty much felt the same way. Also, I don’t even have a 4K tv yet. I wasn’t in a hurry at all, the only system-seller for me was that State of Decay 3 which is next-gen console exclusive, but that’s still at least a couple years away. But then I got a Series S as a gift (from my job!) and the faster (to the point…

Well there’s sufficient evidence to conclude that the GOP generally looks at child bride situations and see nothing wrong with it, so that tracks. 

Most (not all) of the characters shown here can only be unlocked with these codes and aren’t able to be unlocked through gameplay.

Or possibly, for every single business of any kind.

It’s one of those things you have to do in order to not make it too easy for the characters, I think.  Kind of like how nobody in a zombie movie has ever seen a zombie movie before. 

They did a great take on this in an episode of Legends of Tomorrow. The one who was stuck in the time loop explained what was happening to someone, and they talked about what to do about it, then when they knew the reset was coming, he said, “Next time it resets, just come up to me and say ‘Groundhog Day’ and I’ll be…

Can confirm, I picked this up on Steam and my friend fired up a private server and it’s been pretty fun.  

“Gamers don’t understand what we’re offering them,” he said, neglecting to realize that people not understanding (or, you know, wanting) the product you hope to sell them means you’re not selling it to them.

There are so many other signs of living in a corporate dystopia, video game companies buying other video game companies isn’t really high on that list

And here I am trying not to gloat too much, after years of Playstation fans waving their PS-exclusives in my face telling me that Xbox sucks because they don’t have any good exclusives.

Microsoft screwing over Playstation owners and Playstation screwing over Xbox owners aren’t really equivalent either, because Playstation owners who want to play an Xbox exclusive title can play it on PC, whereas Playstation exclusives are almost entirely properly exclusive to Playstation devices.

There’s a big difference between “Xbox exclusives” and “Playstation exclusives” in the sense that Xbox exclusives are available for PC owners, whereas Playstation’s exclusives are mostly literally Playstation exclusives.

Microsoft has been offering the most cost-effective way to spend your gaming budget for a few years already and introduced a more budget-friendly version of their latest-gen console. That’s why people say it’s consumer friendly.

Slightly less friendly to Playstation owners, but at least Microsoft’s exclusives are…

Honestly, I didn’t get bored of any of it at all until I had maxed out all the characters. I found the actual fighting to be really engaging personally, it was almost hypnotic to me.

If they had a steady pipeline of content being added, I could see myself still playing it.  But this is only the second new content drop…

Not even anything about Megan Fox’s thumbs?
