Rock stacking in real life is fun, because you can feel it, and have to learn to listen to and trust your body to find the hidden points of balance in these jagged heavy stones. Rock stacking in AC is an exercise of swearing at the bizarre camera controls and squinting to find barely perceptible dimples and flat…

Considering how many national treasures the British Museum stole during the 19th and 20th centuries, it’s just one small step toward karmic restitution for them to have one of their national treasures nicked by someone else.

I liked some comics and didn’t like other comics and I don’t understand why you don’t feature that one comic that hasn’t had updates in four years.

A message is talked about, it’s debated, it’s ruminated on, there are discussions to be had about a message. From the jump all Outriders ever says is “humanity fucking sucks”...if there’s no exploration of that it’s not a message, it’s just a stupid comment.

I don’t know that every game needs infinite replayability and an infinite end-game grind so that it can qualify as the only game you ever play. 

I actually liked that about it. Too often games are so big, with so much to do I end up getting lost in all the content and never actually “finish” the game. I played this over a weekend, unlocked everything and then put it down. It was a good time and I felt accomplished. I’m sure I will have fun with the DLC for a…

I really don’t get the constant need to shit on this game. I suppose coverage is coverage, but man...

I don’t think they’re comparable. Cyberpunk’s problems are at fundamental levels, deep in the code and the game’s overall design, whereas pretty much every problem with Valhalla is stuff that can be written off as “well QA would probably had caught this if it wasn’t for a global pandemic”.

When you know things look bad for the future. Wait to be fired, 2 month of salary is still 2 month of salary, especially during this pandemic

I’m begging any game studio to make Legally Distinct Wizard School Game, a Saints Row to Hogwarts Legacy’s GTA.

counterpoint: using the AC companion app in Black Flag (and I feel like they had one for Brotherhood?) was a fun way to “play” when you were at work - you could manage and send out your fleets or whatever, then you would have all the rewards waiting for you when you got back to the game

Because it’s not a “Blatant Zelda ripoff”. I’m deep into it by now and I really, really like this game. More than I thought I would. It plays like a blend between Assassin’s Creed (Ubisoft open world baseline), Breath of the Wild (some of the mechanics), and Mario Odyssey (puzzles, puzzles everywhere). And that’s…

Frankly astonished by some of the responses here dismissing this as stuff they “already knew” or that it’s unnecessary. How brainwashed are you that your first response to a report about CDPR treating their people like shit is “eh, I already knew that”? How can it be anything but good that these assholes are getting…

That would not happen that way, seriously. If you Google “New Xbox”, you get a big old link for “The All New Xbox Series X”. Lots of people inventing an imaginary problem that doesn’t actually exist, as if people are literally too stupid to buy something they’re ready to spend money on.

There isn’t a single fucking nit you can’t fucking pick over any fucking thing associated with Microsoft. But fucking Sony can fuck everybody over with their fucking exclusivity carve-outs, fucking intimidation tactics over negative reviews of their fucking 1st party titles, and general flashing of fuck-you money…

I wish it was better, but I don’t see anyone accidentally buying the wrong console.

Cyberpunk 2077 is not a next-gen game. It was not marketed as a next-gen game, it has not received next-gen enhancements, and they were clear on the investor calls that it wasn’t a launch title for XSX / PS5.

Except it doesn’t say that. It speculates it, but all it’s really definitively saying is that Duracell has a deal with Microsoft to supply pack-in batteries with their devices. Nowhere has it in any way demonstrated that part of the deal compels Microsoft to design devices that require pack-in batteries. Microsoft,…
