“From the creators of Descent”

Wow, I was joking because I hadn’t seen any news about it that. Thanks for the heads up!

Are they doing any kind of a giveaway? I’d like an OLED Steam Deck, but I’d happily settle for some double DEW XP.

You’re talking about the company that has refused to port Red Dead Redemption to PC for over a decade, only to port it to the freakin Switch of all things.

Well that’s definitely true lol

“Quality is subjective” is the whole point of what I’m saying, so I guess we agree lol

I think that’s just using snubbed in a different more literal sense than the article, but okay.

The point is I’m not talking commercial reception: I’m talking about the actual quality of the games as games lol

Maybe. I think it’s more that people probably wanted something more different-looking than the original, akin to the Link’s Awakening remake.

Jedi Survivor would still be a great soulslike if it wasn’t Star Wars, Spider-Man 2 would still be a great superhero game even if it wasn’t called Spider-Man, Resident Evil 4 would still be a great survival horror shooter even if it wasn’t called Resident Evil, and Baldur’s Gate would still an amazing RPG even if it…

Nah it’s not just the strength of the IP: it’s the fact that there haven’t been any “real” Harry Potter games going back like two decades now. That’s what’s pumping up the metacritic score - people looking past the mediocrity because it lets you play out the fantasy of going to magic school.

Nah if it wasn’t the first “real” Harry Potter game in a very long time, it would be sitting at a 7 or 7.5 at most. It’s a competent action-adventure game that doesn’t do anything particularly new or interesting other than give the fans of a massively popular IP their fantasy of going to magic school.

Can’t even fathom the criticisms of the visuals... it feels like they nailed modernizing the look while keeping the general feel and charm of the original.

It was snubbed about as much as Robocop: Rogue City was snubbed.

Well cloud games do exist on the Switch now, like the infamous Kingdom Hearts collection. So it could very well be something like that.

If I were Unity, I would be doubling down and getting any money I could while I still actually could, because they’re never going to be able to unfuck the proverbial goat here lol

I had originally assumed the letters Kunis and Kutcher are getting dragged for were pretrial public statements of support for their friend... it wasn’t until their apology video that I learned it was actually written AFTER conviction, for sentencing guidelines.

Right but I’m just saying it’s not like people were against him having a Patreon for his work - it’s specifically locking it behind a paywall that people are complaining about.

He was already getting compensated though, through his Patreon.
