Nah, I don’t buy that argument. It’s rape by deception and should be prosecuted as such (so should failing to disclose any other STD, for that matter).

Tried to play last night but the co-op on PC just straight-up doesn’t work. It’s like they forgot to actually enable it or something.

The aesthetic is so stylized that there’s only so many improvements to be made.

I couldn’t feel any more different tbh. I thought Burch’s writing was an absolutely awful stain on an otherwise really great game, and it genuinely impacted my enjoyment of it. His sense of humor doesn’t seem to have progressed beyond 2004 Newgrounds-era “walrus spork sO rAnDoMb xD” style jokes.

It’s weird, because he always seemed like a pretty normal guy back in the alpha days. Then one day he just... snapped and started posting absolutely wild rants on Twitter. I wanna say it was around the time he made the news for outbidding Jay Z on that giant mansion.

I think he’s supposed to be the god of the world because people believe the world... exists? I really don’t know where they’re going with him either, it seems so incongruous to the rest of the Gods being manifestations of actual, concrete belief systems.

I feel the same. The reason I liked PUBG so much was that it at least had a pretense of realism - I want to feel like I’m actually trying to survive, it was almost as much of a roleplaying experience as it was a shooter. Apex is fun, but all the crazy powers and gadgets really serve to remind me that I’m playing a…

You know, I have to agree. It’s a pretty show and I dig the concept, but we’re (almost) 1 and a half seasons in and it still doesn’t seem to have a thesis. There’s no point to anything, no underlying theme or reason for this story to be told.

Half true. You get access to the Shard system by subscribing, but you still have to — and can only — earn shards by playing and completing challenges. There’s no way to buy shards with real money, “cash out,” or even trade them to other people.

You do it Hardcore Henry style and just film the whole thing on a GoPro

I’m confused, so you actually read 8000 comments about Sekiro: Shadows Die?

Redeye agrees

That’s my problem with OWL as well, it feels so fake and artificial compared to even other esports scenes.

What’s Vulkan support like these days? I know a few games like Doom 2016 used it but I haven’t heard much fuss about it since.

Ah, gotcha! I remember the first few episodes had those flashbacks as well but it was never clear to me that it was actually creating “new” Old Gods instead of just extending their reach.

I realize this is probably by design but it took me so long to figure out how to cancel my Game Pass subscription from the Windows Store... er, Xbox Store? I’m actually not even clear if those are two separate things.

Probably. There is literally no reason for a modern game to support DX11 and below, them’s just the breaks. I’m sure a small fraction of people will be upset but really, that’s a legacy API at this point.

Wind Waker too, if we want to stretch the definition of “post” to include a few hundred more years.

Isn’t that typically done for narrative reasons, though? I can’t think of any examples off the top of my head (maybe Breaking Bad?) but if you have, say, a crime drama featuring a white American lead going up against a Mexican cartel and they start speaking Spanish, presumably it’s because the protagonist isn’t…

Huh, well I guess I stand corrected!
