I think Blade Runner can be groundbreaking, and 2049 can still be a better film. I'm not sure I agree that it is, but I don't think those are mutually exclusive ideas.

I don’t think anyone ever looks at the amount of words/pages in a novel as ‘content’, it’s such a weird way to describe something like that.

There really weren’t that many side quests/mini games in OG, honestly
Chocobo breeding — was just farming the racing game to get best stats before farming some nuts for the right chance, and then save scumming the result.
Gold Saucer — a bunch single button push minigames that lasted 5 seconds, except for the mini…

I’ve been a strong advocate for Universal Basic Income (UBI) for many years. In my view, it’s a logical progression for society, especially as AI and automation continue to replace human roles. It’s simply a rational conclusion.

Because it’s been years since they did anything with Silent Hill. And that was a long string of bad games where outside developers wanted to make a horror game and pitched it to Konami as a Silent Hill game to get funding.

They weren’t too much, actually.

I know Jersey Mike’s, I served with Jersey Mike’s, and you Sir, are no Jersey Mike’s.

That’s in the best scenario, which we rarely get. I feel like so many people says it will make development easier (I lack a better word here), but I’m fairly positive most indie games and small teams will still stay pretty vanilla in their development method...

AAA will use this tech much more than small developers,…

is this one of those “yeah art is just a way to waste time” things? or do you really think video games by definition are valueless beyond pure dopamine pump time suck?

Was going to waste my time responding in full but honestly? Fuck off.

“This might be a hot take, but I don’t want Persona to devolve into a dating simulator.”

What a weird article. Fortnite has updates as well, sometimes pretty big ones. You’re just playing it often enough that it stays updated.

The one thing I hate about most of these is that they don’t really feel like a shooter from the 90's as much as an indie game from 2005-2011 

I hate that game with a white hot passion.  The combat is garbage, you can easily button mash and finish the game.  You can skip magic entirely with little detriment.  Side characters just dont have closure on stories and do their little part and leave.  Major story beats happen off screen with no explanation.  You…

Americans use the terms “cultural appropriation” and even “black face” so incorrectly they’ve completely lost all meaning. You stupid fucks need to figure out what you’re upset about quick because one day something actually offensive will happen and we won’t have the language to describe it

I say this with the disclaimer that I have not watched the whole special so maybe the whole thing is way worse than that one joke but... I don’t think it’s that bad. Like, okay, the dude told an offensive joke, wowsers. He’s far from the first and I’m sure he’ll be far from the last to do “blue” material. Hell, I…

Well, because of streaming/online gaming, and just general enthusiasts, there are way more people who can recognize a goofy Mic setup then if a random lab instrument is setup properly. If you are one of those people, and think his lab was a mess, you should have commented on it.

In fairness, you’re trying to compare a song or CD’s price, or the price of a movie ticket/DVD to a $70 game. When the changes are generally minor or graphical in nature, asking you to pay full price for it is a much bigger ask.
