I really disagree, I think there should be places in the industry for artistic expression and experimentation. Not everything has to be a cookie-cutter gameplay experience. While yeah Death Stranding wasn’t for me for the most part I appreciate the effort to try new things and I think we should encourage more of that…

This is the only reason I am even considering Palworld.

AI is just a tool. Might as well have posted this screed about the steam engine coming for all those good horse-related jobs.

I couldn’t even read your whole post, so there’s no way Starfield is going to entertain me for a decade.

For me it’s more like, “Who’s buying TV shows from the PlayStation store?” I bought a handful of TV episodes on the Xbox store back in the 360 days that have thankfully carried over to the Microsoft store, but even back then I realized pretty quickly how little sense it made to buy media from a video game console as…

I don’t want to live in a world where I love Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs so much that I need to buy the series (physical or digital) just so I could watch it when whenever I want because the endless marathons on Discovery for both series over the years couldn’t scratch that itch. And don’t get me wrong, I love…

That is likely something which factored into the decisions. “We only have this many sales over the lifespan and spend this much just to keep access going”. 

They probably considered the ten or so people who bought the content, realized it wasn't enough to support a class action suit and shrugged.

It honestly sounds like you’re not even trying.  Even a cursory glance at gameplay from either one should be enough for you to see the difference... they’re nothing alike.

The height is the biggest issue with the PS5. I have an 1x4 IKEA Kallax that I’ve attached legs to as my TV stand and every console I owned fit neatly in each segment either vertically or horizontally. Until the PS5 came along anyway. I have to have it on top sitting behind the TV peeking out one side like some kind…

While it’s a bummer for anyone who was looking forward to this, and to those working on it who don’t get to see their work released, I do like it when a company goes ‘This isn’t working, let’s eat our loss and do something else’ rather than endlessly try to make something with it and releasing muddled crap.

is anyone on this site gonna write about counterstrike 2? the game had almost 2 million players the other day. lots to talk about! the new rating systems kinda neat IMO and addresses some of the issues you mentioned, but of course some people hate it too.

Pretty much everything here, but personally I also found quite a lot about the characters voice lines to be extremely obnoxious. Gotta say, my favorite part of my time in testing was the first two waves of closed alpha, when they put bright white text with your username ALL over the screen to the point you couldn’t…

Those new Dust 2 maps sure look nice, but in my heart, this will always be best:

If you ever say “Stop doing this. It’s bothering me.” on the internet, odds on, for every 1 person that did it before, a hundred will, now, just to troll you. As a rule of thumb, internet trolls are bored, they lack empathy, and they’re constantly looking for someone to fuck over to make them feel better about their…

I don’t really understand the anti-Joel aspect that people have (though didn’t play the game):

1) what certainty do we have that the Fireflies would be able to extract ‘the cure’ from Ellie successfully? What certainty do we have that ‘the cure’ would even work as intended if successfully extracted? Yes, Joel…

If you get on MTG’s mailing list, you’ll get 100 free draws for upgrading your soapbox with random Qspiracy drip!

I always found it funny that for a site that is gaming news the people who read it sure do hate gamers...

as a moira main, it will certainly only increase my healing. There are tons of times where my team is all clt fose to me and taking damage while we attempt to either move onto a far point, or defend one from far enemies.

Normally I run out of healing and have no way to grab more, just waiting on sporadic healing orbs.…
