The problem I have with that theory, though, is that ignores that Bethesda may already be big and “corporate”, but they’ve also let themselves become complacent because of it. They’re coming into this stinging from Fallout 4 not being as well received as the previous two iterations, angering fans by re-releasing…

“A shell”? In just the last four years before it got bought in 2002, Rare’s output saw the two Banjo-Kazooie games, Donkey Kong 64, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, and StarFox Adventures. I’d hardly call that a “shell of its former self”. It didn’t go downhill until it got bought out, all its…

Right? First thing I thought of when I heard this was Rare employees saying “welcome to Hell”.

Perhaps the best reason: waiting means console revisions and price drops.

I hated the Babysitter. HATED it. Abrasive, obnoxious, mean-spirited and cynical. The idea that the sequel is worse doesn’t surprise me one bit.

I’ve had actual mezcal, and yes, it does taste different. I wouldn’t say smoky, though. More ... earthy? Woodsy? Brown? Something like that.

Immortals: Fenyx Rising is a dumb enough name on its own. It sounds like a third-rate freemium app in the vein of Raid: Shadow Legends.

When they announced this on Twitter, someone asked if the rim was salted with Doritos powder. The response was “we can neither confirm nor deny this”.

This is what Nietzsche meant about the abyss looking back at you.

But that ignores the circumstances. In most cases, theaters are operating at half-or-less capacity. It would be impossible to match normal ticket sales with this limitation without at least doubling screenings, and that assumes every screening is sold out. No movie could perform at normal operating standards right now,…

Wouldn’t be a Scream movie without her.

What’s weird is, they’re explicitly calling this a BOTW sequel, but Eiji Aonuma has gone on record saying the Hyrule Warriors series is non-canon and takes place in a different dimension and timeline than the Zelda series. So, that makes this game ... official fanfic? The video game version of Elseworlds?

2D, 3D, a sequel to 3D Blast, I don’t care. My only request is “put Christian Whitehead in charge of development”. He made Sonic Mania into a damned masterpiece. I trust him to do right in any form by Sonic.

I’m so sorry for not seeing every article! Please forgive me! [/s]

Wait, it’s an endless online game? Seriously? There’s no offline single player campaign?

I got my first platinum with Assassin’s Creed II, but the funny thing is, I didn’t know I was that close to it. I was just playing along, not paying attention, hit the task necessary for the final trophy (taking out a certain number of people with a pole weapon in one shot), and suddenly, PING!. Now, I have seven…

Wait. Are you saying forming an opinion based on a very narrow vertical slice of gameplay offered in a beta and some early screenshots is NOT reliable? I AM SHOCKED.

I look forward to the NEXT update, when people will complain they don’t like it and want to revert to what is now the new layout.

I never thought of them that way. Always considered Pizza Hut to be, at best, McDonald’s-level food.

No, discless BC is not BC. The whole idea of BC is “I don’t have to buy the games again, I can keep the library I have and replay it on the new machine”. If I have Spider-Man on PS4, and they only make it work on PS5 via download or PS Now as opposed to running the disc, there’s no benefit to the consumer. The benefit…
