My understanding was that CP2077 WAS being developed for PS4/XB1. I think CDPR bit off more than they could chew by also making it for PS5/XBX. Now here they are, choking on it. Hard.

That thick layer of mayo on top of the oreo crumbles makes me want to gag and weird food combos rarely ever make feel that way.

And all this crunching is for a fucking VIDEO GAME. It’d be one thing to crunch to release a life-saving medicine, or fix a software bug that was going to cause plane crashes, or something like that. No one’s gonna die if a game comes out 6 months late. 

The latest ACs are fun, but you kind of have to shut your brain off when it comes to who you are killing. Odyssey had you alternately killing Spartans and Athenians and then facing really no repercussions with either faction for doing it other than obtaining a bounty you could pay off (or murder your way out of).

Like, I know that the Vikings weren’t strictly colonists, but it already feels kinda weird raiding and sacking shit.

Always happy to get remastered versions of games I love (though how happy might depend on the price point, as I still own all the originals). Won’t lie, though: I was hoping for more of a ‘remake’, at least as far as the first game is concerned, as I would have loved for BioWare to tweak its actual gameplay to be more…

You’d have a point to make if Kotaku hadn’t covered and are still covering this extensively but they have.

Pfft.  OK, boomer.

The entire use of ‘don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good!’ is as wrong-headed as it comes. It’s become an easy-go-to to deride and dismiss any leftist concerns. And that’s what your 2nd para concentrates on; this idea that Leftists are focused on the inconsequential nitty-gritty, to the detriment of the…

It was probably a 24 hour comic challenge.  It’s fine if it’s not your cup of tea, but you can just, you know, scroll on past it.

To be fair, white males have no end of video games where they play as a white male. It’s not like “finally, it’s our time to shine!”

Keep telling yourself how it is okay to crunch so you can play the game at launch without feeling guilty

Unless her contract includes provisions that she gets to drink the blood of Warner Brothers interns to stay young -- just, you know, only cis-het ones, because you can never be too sure -- I can’t imagine why it would be under an NDA.

I always struggle with this line of thinking. I mean, not about this, because I don’t particularly like Harry Potter stuff and never have, but in general.

I find the whole issue complex. I don’t like thinking of engaging with media as a financial transaction. The fact that it feels weird to know the behind-the-scenes…

It’s visibly implied that I’m looking for clarity based on the remarks from the review, but hey, you go off, chief.

Arcs don’t always have to be major personality shifts, though.

Why wait for a new console to play the previous console’s games when the previous console is far cheaper and better value?

Arkham Origins was solid. Not as good as Rocksteady's games, but it was a decent enough entry on the franchise.

For the readers questioning how others could possibly gain pleasure through spending money this way, let’s remember the following human activities:
