No they succeeded at the biggest point they wanted. Part of the ruling required apple to open the walled garden to 3rd party app stores. Something Apple is still appealing. That opens the door for the epic store to have an app store on ios like they can on android. They dont get to go back onto the ios app store but…

Man google is really shitting the bed here. Normally all they would need to donis point out the result of the apple lawsuit and that android already complies with the decisions presented there but instead with this they may end up having to completely overhaul their marketplace because they ignored a legal requirement.

Yep especially when competive non-physical sports use a much different way of looking for cheating compared to physical sports where you can go "oh yeah he touched the florbus with his dorbus. Red flag pe alty." The overeatch program for cs-go is an easy example. Skilled players rate the likelyhood that cheating is…

Currently waiting for the comments section to fill with pro niemann propaganda like every other article does.

yeah the problem with live service games is that really only 1 or 2 per genre can really hold enough players to make it worthwhile so there are only really 3 reasons for pushing that many out:

especially given that all the games listed also sell children’s toys related to those games (call of duty and battlefield have megabloks sets sold in the toy section, fortnite has a massive array of toys. Even rainbow six has toys.)

As much as I would love to blame the parents in this we know for a fact that game…

A big part of it is that if they wanted to keep releasing heroes they needed to reduce team comp possibilities to actually balance. The possible team compositions in overwatch have gone from hundreds of millions of possibilities to about 40,000 possible comps last I did the math.

Honestly thank goodness it is over. This was ridiculous from the start. Remember in year 2 when GOATS was king? Only to get trounced by the shanghai dragons who did it by training all their players to be able to jump between multiple roles as needed? Which made the game way more varied and interesting? Only for…

I am willing to bet there is more to this than they are letting on. Of the 3 Sony has been the one with the tightest grip on permitted content (censoring games like devil may cry 5 for instance)

1. that was only 3 months ago

Yeah its not being talked about because it’s been *checks notes* 6 months since it came out. Literally half a year. No game keeps momentum that long in the zeitgeist unless it is a live service game where updates come every month. 

Honestly I have never liked the playstation layout for controllers. The fact that both joysticks are in the spot where your thumbs have to stretch to reach instead of being in a resting position is problematic. Most games require more usage of the face buttons with the aiming stick only being used to quickly flick…

I really liked mafia 2 when i played it on pc and the demo on 360. Fun little sandbox with intensely fun driving controls. But yeah the remaster is trash.

Anyone else read “MK7's Rosalina Ice World" and have a small blue screen thinking it was a Mortal Kombat tie in?

I think a large part of it is that live services typically die as well but companies don’t seem to think that theirs will because it sold well previously.  You need balance and the ones that survive are the games that have a solid core and an end game content loop that doesnt require many updates to stipl be enjoyed…

I quite literally was dead for about 5 minutes after unlocking nugget. I had already laughed for a few minutes when he was named but just completely lost it when the game told me he was now a 3 star manager at my company.

The first yakuza like a drafon was also on gamepass I think.

I wouldn’t call it bleak imo. More like cautiously optimistic? If you talk at any random NPC on a random moon/mining settlement they all seem fairly happy and chipper even though they stand in a desolate wasteland. Like everyone knows what was lost but the prospect of building something brand new is far more exciting…

Zero this gen actually. Drift outside of switch controllers is only really bad if you abuse your controllers. (Switch is the exception since the joy con sticks are so short that the throw you put on them over exerts the stick.) Otherwise it isnt really an issue.

I’ve always hated single color lines in maps. with the actual size of these maps (and not zoomed out screenshots on a website) there’s more than enough room on these lines to do various hatch fillings to the lines to differentiate them. leave the colors on them since for some the color difference is useful but just…
