Yes but big budget games are far too huge to confine. Look at an Ubisoft credit screen and tell me how anyone is expected to keep a project under wraps for years

The strong reaction to XCOM’s announcement fundamentally changed that franchise reboot. They pushed the FPS back and focused on making the turn based strategy that the audience demanded. The result was a terrific game and a mediocre FPS that everyone excepted.

Saying “yes we are working on it and have no further comment” is way different then going down a No Man’s Sky or Peter Molyneux route

There are primarily two types of gamers: people plugged into the news cycle and everyone else. Letting the first group know that projects exist does not dimish the effects of a good PR flurry of announcements on the later.

One day developers will realize that keeping projects hidden is a waste of everyone’s time

If it’s like MVC3 you can choose between a simplified input or advance input option. That way both newer players and familiar players can find something to be happy with

Yeah Future fixed some issues of JGR, but having played that game last year...a lot of the gameplay doesn’t hold up very well. It’s a very obnoxious platformer at times with finicky controls and a camera that can get in the way. Still looks good and very stylish though

I’d be fine if they gut the network and only became an on-demand/live platform to deliver select sporting events with their own announcers.

I’m 24 hours in and I’m in the middle of June. Their July restriction always seemed fairly generous for a game where the story is 95% the point of playing.

Not necessarily. It entirely depends on what the market for ESPN is. As it stands you ether get it lumped in with what you really want, or you pay for a bunch of other stuff just to get ESPN.

Don’t you know that everything is left wing now? Media, sports, science, even a lot of republicans are considered leftist now

Their financials are not my problem. I value it at $5-10 a month (and I imagine most people would peg it around there as well). And $5 a month is a whole lot more than the $0 they get from me now

Is there a way to turn on Japanese VO? I love the accent when yelling TETRIS too much to lose it.

Well they should lawyer up and figure those contracts out ASAP. The faster they realize they need fiscal independence from a dying industry that they don’t control, the better

The KKK are as much Christians as ISIS is Islamic. They regularly preach about Jesus in the KKK and use many Christian symbols.

The KKK is a Christian organization. That’s why they burn a cross. To be illuminated by the light of Jesus Christ. It’s also why they are anti Catholic, Jew, Islam, Buddhism, etc

Yo ESPN, let me just easily stream you for $5 a month. Or don’t? I don’t care because I’ll still watch the games with or without you. Take it or leave it - signed America

Are you stupid? KKK has no meaning in Japan and a horrific meaning in the USA. They weren’t trying to reference a hate group in Japan, so the localization should reflect that

I think a lot of claims of censorship could be boiled down to people not accepting that they’re not as funny as they think

Great. Tales from the Borderlands is one of the best Telltale games (Picked it up in winter sale for less than $2). I’ve almost bought Abzu a few times, and I actually got a rental copy the other day. Funny timing on that one
