I would love to see this compared to a professional sports contract. I think NBA players have more freedom than this.

Okay, um, wow. If that is legit (which it seems like it is, but let’s not jump to conclusions), that’s a pretty shit deal. The code of conduct stuff seems a bit vague and overreaching at times, but honestly it’s probably just Blizzard’s attempt at keeping the league squeaky clean in an attempt to attract sponsors and…

It’s not like Nintendo was busy releasing first party titles for the final 3 years of the wii u lifespan. They gave up on it long ago and started developing Switch titles so they could get a strong fresh start. I’m certain they’ve still got some big unannounced 2018 titles left.

Nintendo could pull off Mario Odyssey within the first year of Switch why not Smash Bros. the second year?

Why would it be “a year from now”? Just because they announced it recently doesn’t mean it hasn’t been being developed for years in secret.

They’re wrong about it not being a great movie (by any standard)? It was an okay film. There were more waves than depth to it. It could have been way better but Marvel films that aren’t origin stories tend to be this way. Why do you think it’s a great film on par with something Schindler’s List or whatever?

I’ll say it looked great. But it was not a great movie by any standard. I was zzzz’ing for about 90% of it.

You’re forgetting the most important invention in the history of video game drinking: the Emergency Induction Port!

These look nice but I don’t think anyone over the age of 5 should wear velcro shoes without good cause.

lol, “group of cyber criminals”. It was one butthurt 10 year old.

on the upside, the panel ended up being more realistic than cynical. the person presenting repeatedly said that if you’re in games purely to make money, you should probably go do something else. they also shared some interesting stats about steam, which they got by running numbers from steamspy. such as:

Time to step up Twitch and prove that your new Guidelines are more than just pretty words on paper.

3D printer printing game carts to smuggle drugs. Yep that’s 100% 80s anime cyber-punk crime.

Not familiar with these games but the way it is described in the post it sounds like a pedo training simulator.

I really like the rebooted tomb raider series so i cant wait for this. Any world yet if this is console exclusive or coming out for everything? 

Let’s be smarter about this -

Good.

To be honest, I sometimes wish they'd take a step back to older formulas. I'd love to see a new high-profile turn-based JRPG. Those are becoming scarce these days as everybody tries to shoehorn in 'omgfastpacedaction' combat.
