It’s not terrible. It’s just not great either

be the change you want to see in the world....

It’s the everything has to be a live service mentality, that ruins games and developers.

I’m so exhausted of late stage capitalism. When do we get to the part where we put CEOs and shareholders in a guillotine?

Its important to remember that back in the PSX era, multiple discs didn’t represent “plot” or “content”, but rather storage for lots of FMV cutscenes. The final sections of the game needed a lot of space for video of it’s climactic scenes and the ending. In reality, without FMV, the entire game easily fits on one…

I don’t think you can just offhandedly define videogames as a thing like that, at least not if you want to be taken seriously. It’s pointlessly and incorrectly reductive. Video games are a medium and an art form just like any other, and they can be designed for any number of playstyles or reactions they’d like to draw…

“For Rebirth, the bloat comes from a constant, inescapable barrage of mini-games”.

If you can’t read between the lines of this story about a shitty celebrity coming into an unethically low-paying job and complaining about the location’s low sales numbers on his trash merch, then I’d argue that you’re more likely the person who’s never done retail work. That wouldn’t be fun for anyone but the largest…

The fuck you smoking? Hi-Fi Rush was a game of the year contender last year. it's a solid game. pentiment as well.

To be fair, gay tetris sounds pretty fun. 

The unwashed reddit/tweetosphere needs to understand that THEY are not representative of the other millions who play videogames and aren’t terminally online. This kind of thing isn’t FOR THEM. The devs didn’t put that stuff in to insult your intelligence, they put it in for the normies and there are way more of them…

I’m completely in support of this move; watching Musk find fresh, dumb ways to burn money is a newfound hobby of mine.

It took this guy 20 years to figure out that a $200 billion megacorp doesn’t care about people. Truly amazing.

The only justifiable reason for taking a console/format war seriously is if your paycheck literally depends on it.

“I was wrong all of this time, Xbox doesn’t care about us, Microsoft doesn’t care about us. We’ve been fighting this war for nothing.”

In 2013, IGN was purchased by media company Ziff Davis. The website has since grown into the biggest video game outlet in the world and one of the most popular entertainment sites on the internet, with over 470 million monthly visitors in December 2023 alone.

This is why I’d rather drink a bucket of bleach than ever identify myself as a “gamer”. The bulk of “gamers” I encounter online are reprehensible human garbage and I refuse to accept I am even the same species as these defective degenerates. I play games.. I am sure as HELL am no “gamer” though, not if it means being…

“What kind of human garbage”

I challenge Ken Levine to make a game not set in a weird city sequestered away from the rest of society.

Thanks for the pic - that really helps provide context and demonstrate that the post-recall version is massively superior.
