To me, Best Family Game means couch co-op, so that would exclude Hogwarts. Plus there’s the fact that kids don’t care about that franchise, so it’s only the parents who would be playing it.

Regardless of the controversy, Hogwarts was a pretty mediocre game and it sold because of the IP it was attached to. To imply that it was “snubbed” for awards is to forget that awards are for the actual game delivered, not for the marketing campaign or sales quantity.

It wasn’t misunderstood and there wasn’t any hidden…

I mean, it didn’t. It came out like a wet fart and was forgotten about within a month. Probably because it was just “collect 20 X” over and over again, from start to finish, with a kind of generic plot wrapping it all in a bow.

Edge’s Chris Schilling was less impressed. “Objectively fun, but I’d have much preferred either a re-release or a properly reimagined version, not this cosmetically-enhanced uncanny-valley halfway house,” he tweeted.

Blizzard messed up the moment they started selling skins directly at super-high prices. A big part of what kept me coming back to OW1 was the FOMO of new skins to collect. I had -every- skin/emote/voice line and wanted to keep that title.

It also said the mod’s removal wasn’t a “political statement” or the site picking sides in the ongoing culture war. Instead, it said it simply believes in “diversity and inclusion,”

This, there is no backwards, only forwards. The question is how much can they squeeze before the obvious implosion next summer\fall. 

EXACTLY - it’s an absolutely different story pre-trial, but to write this bullshit AFTER he’s been convicted is beyond repugnant, and also lends some credibility to Masterson’s ex’s claims about him having some skeletons.  Maybe he did it because he felt he had to... either way, your work around sex trafficking…

It very much is an ethical issue. Mods are built on the work of others. This DLSS mod would have no value without Starfield. The success of this mod is entirely dependent on the success of Starfield. As such, one could argue that the modder is trying to profit by leeching off the work of others (i.e. the developers of…

Lol, she got fired for arguing with G/O Media. If you think management wanted less “rage bait” (if these articles are making you super mad, this sounds like more of a ‘you problem’ imo), you don’t know anything about G/O Media. They couldn’t care less about the gaming industry or anything the can’t attach a zillions…

exactly, Blizzard made this mess themselves by blocking themselves into poor game design decisions pushed by the marketing department more than the devs.

It’s not complicated. Blizzard took a pretty good game, made a free to play ‘sequel’ that promised to have new singleplayer content, then backed out of most singleplayer content. People are mad

There’s nothing complicated about it. Blizzard took a good game, made it worse and forced in disgusting monetization that made loot boxes look friendly in comparison while also announcing the canceling of the promised PvE content months after the decision had been made... during which time they continued to advertise…

I think Aspects have made it way, way worse. Because now there’s a whole new level to inventory management and comparing items, and inventory management already sucked. Now you have to not only figure out if an item is better, but if an item + an aspect you have access to is better (and the aspects might be in your…

Everything about season 3 has been fine. I don’t get all the online hate about it. Ciri does super elder magic Ciri stuff, Geralt kills things and then gets his ass kicked, Yennifer is looking good in her dresses, and Jaskier is having gay sex. There’s nothing to criticize here.

This was the pinnacle of a keyboard warrior protest, with mods going rogue, deleting entire subreddits, and arbitrarily changing posting rules in ways that confused regular users in the name of “protest.”

I understand his reasons for selecting The World’s End as his favorite, but Hot Fuzz’s script is a masterpiece of structure and dialogue equaled by the performances of everyone in the movie.
