I know you hate when it happens, but this is one of those games that if I played on Game Pass, I would still buy so I can own forever. It’s just *that* good. 

Bought the game’s ultimate edition at full price on preorder, and felt I’ve gotten every dime of value and then some.

This game has some of my favorite boss fights this side of Fromsoft, and some fights would absolutely feel at home in a Fromsoft game (especially with that Losomn aesthetic which is just *chef’s kiss*).

Remnant 2 is honestly my snub for game of the year. Such a damn fun time, and whatever Gunfire games is feeding their art department is working. I honestly have no major criticisms of the game at all, and many of the minor gripes were patched/improved. I feel like despite all the love this game got, it’s *still*…

You match 16 pieces and whaddya get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter doncha call me cuz I can’t go
I owe my soul to the Google Play Store

I’m so glad someone finally patented the Decorator design pattern.

Today I learned the largely Hispanic population of Puerto Rico which almost entirely mostly traces their history lineage to Spain aren’t colonizers.

Jesus this generation is stupid.

Also:

“Wow.

Such speedrun.

Much buttonmash.

So fast.

Wow.”

“Hey, you got your Peanut Butter in my speedrunning!”

“Well you got your speedrunning on my Peanut Butter”

I thought they were going to build a bridge or something.

I mean the truth is this:

Daedelic was, and I’m sorry to say, never that good to begin with. Deponia, their best series, was “just okay”. Nothing else in their catalog was that great, and they were told to make a 3d game with a major IP with basically no talent at the studio for working in 3d.

This is because FIFA won’t let them sell it anymore. As bad as EA is, FIFA is literally one of the 10 most corrupt organizations in the world, along with oil companies and the Catholic church.

Right, in this case, this is really more about how awful FIFA. Like EA is bad, but FIFA? Good God. It makes EA look like a damned charity.

To be clear, I agree that licensing law is bad, so I’m just trying to “steel-man” why licensing is done the way it is.

The basic idea is that say you give license to a company to advertise using a song you wrote, and then that song becomes famous as a result (this has actually happened). It gives you the opportunity…

Woah woah woah woah woah woah woah

The software development costs, as well as asset/artists costs, etc. I imagine have increased (at least at the AAA level) by an order of magnitude the cost that physical shipping decreased by.

Kotaku comments section in a nutshell:

“Oh my god, the free stuff I’m getting isn’t the free stuff I want to get. Fucking capitalism.”

“Fix your fucking game”

“Best I can do is an interactive door with a text message”

Man, Musk really shit the bed ruining this relationship.

2K has been bad a while, making the game unbelievably grindy in past years. They’ve ramped up the cost in in-game currency to upgrade your player, without changing “payouts” for in-game activity. The season pass alone requires several hundred games to be played even *with* boosters/etc.

And then an *actually*…

My understanding is that when it went down, he paid for the commercial license for the assets he used, which is why it went back up.

Very open to being told I’m mistaken here.
