God that reminds me of when I replayed AC1 a few years ago for nostalgia and was really thrown off by how giant all the trucks and other non AC shit was. Then I actually saw my AC’s height somewhere and remembered the scale issue. Was so strange.

Making them rare, alongside utilizing FOMO by offering them later in time-limited windows.

Seeing as the lists i’ve been seeing are actually very popular cars, it probably has nothing to do with real life manufacturers. It’s just trying to get people to pay for GTA+. It’s pretty gross. They released the HSW upgrades for the stinger gt recently, and it’s one of the cars pulled, and was instantly put in the…

we need to be exploiting Lord of the Rings in a very significant fashion

I know people will make jokes here, but that IS one advantage to having been bought by MS: they can put a lot more QA people on projects. One of the reasons Bethesda games are so buggy at launch is that they’re really a mid-sized developer wearing a large-size developer trench coat. For the size of worlds they were…

You know... for the Christmas tree!

Welp, guess I need to dig out my PSP...

You sure about that? It sure looks like the Highwind, and it’s on top of Juno, where the Highwind was originally located...

“The Cloud from the original game is a clone with alien cells and Mako energy infused into his body who also doesn’t remember the most important events in his life.”
It’s been a long time since I played, but while the game does fake out Cloud being a clone, doesn’t it eventually reveal that he’s just a normal human…

The remake-canon novel “Trace of Two Pasts” goes into detail about how her life was saved, and I don’t believe Jenova cells were involved. At least not that the noval said. Just lots of cure magic and surgery.

Absolutely. Especially since, for all Sephiroth knows, he *did* kill Tifa. The fact that she survived what he did to her was basically a miracle. There are so many simpler explanations than “They spoil a major twist in the trailer that completely changes the story”.

Yeah, the fact that Diablo IV has no “offline option at all” means I’m probably never going to play hardcore.

I had asked in some other article why people hate required internet connections for games so much..

I personally am trans, so I’m primed to look for it. But yeah, the argument that Gwen is personally trans is not compelling.

There’s a difference between identifying with a character and projecting on a character.

The more I hear about this game and its philosophy, the less I want to play it. 

Seriously, by the end of the Marathon games in Marathon Infinity, they were asking the player to consider the idea of protagonists in fiction/myth, concepts written about by Joseph Campbell and how and why the same stories kept being told. Now it resurfaces as a corpse scavenging game.

Yeah it’s dogshit. They could have taken the property and done what ID did with Doom in 2016 but nah fuck it live service PVP baby!

So they took the amazing and insane lore that created the Marathon series and are...turning it into a GAAS PVP milk machine, got it. Welp, what’s the next IP to get ruined by late stage capitalism?

That’s nothing like the Fal’Cie, l’Cie and Cie’th.

Nothing, I say.
