I’m perfectly willing to suspend disbelief for a good scare, but man oh man, The Conjuring instead asks us to actively believe when it showed photos of the “actual” exorcists at the end, as if this was all real.

Well, Michael Pachter guessed they would double the price. So at least one person saw this coming... though he also speculated that they may just be testing to see what the market can bear.

Yeah, a “Last Man Standing” mode was a thing in many deathmatch-style games in the 90's. Battle Royale just upped the player count and put it on a massive map. Plus a really janky loot system.

See? Not a battle royale. But not not a battle royale, either (mostly because of the whole “die and you’re actually dead” thing).

I’d add CheapShark.com to this list. Front page gives you a quick summary of current sales, and looking up a game can tell you where the current best price is, and the cheapest it’s ever been in the past.

None of your complaints actually address the innovations in BotW, so you shouldn’t be too worried. Unless you’re really hostile to climbing, gliders, and finding your own way instead of following an objective marker.

That’s... a lot of 80's pop and godawful hair metal. I guess this Starlord is a little younger than the MCU’s version.

I’m one of those new players through GamePass, and I must say: this game is tragedy. The moment you start the campaign, the production values are top notch, in line with Sony’s best first-party games. The graphical details are fleshed out — skin has pores, little comic books lack even the slightest bit of pixelation…

Ubisoft don’t care.

Can’t speak for the merits of this particular organization, but there certainly are religious progressives, who, because of their religion, are nonetheless pro-life. But those progressives tend to support practical ways to reduce abortion: widespread sex ed, freely available contraceptives, easy access to health care,…

most of the icons didn’t show up on the map unless you bought maps.

If the game gives what the fans want, that’s a good sequel.

So are games art, or just a glass of water? Because art, as it were, should be scrutinized. A glass of (potable) water, not so much.

I also had a great time playing videogame photographer and really dug the villains and their motivations.

Yeah, the problem si different for Watch Dogs (and somewhat compensated by using drones and approaching missions in different ways), but Far Cry has nary an excuse.

It was entirely boring and unnecessary when I did it in Far Cry 5.

4K textures add up real fast, it seems.

You’re still misunderstanding me, I think.

I... just don’t see how this is a massive conspiracy instead of just one journalist with bad data (or a weird ongoing grudge).

Update, 9/29/21, 8:21 p.m. ET: Nintendo has also issued a statement to investors denying Bloomberg’s report, saying it has not supplied “tools to drive game development for a Nintendo Switch with 4K support.”
