What’s wild is that if they had just put out a 15-20 hour game, I would give them my money and enjoy the hell out of it, but because they’re trying to do this live service nonsense, I’ll do what I did for Avengers, which is wait for it to drop to $20, play through the campaign and they’ll have wasted a hundred million…

This is why I’d rather drink a bucket of bleach than ever identify myself as a “gamer”. The bulk of “gamers” I encounter online are reprehensible human garbage and I refuse to accept I am even the same species as these defective degenerates. I play games.. I am sure as HELL am no “gamer” though, not if it means being…

“I can’t help but wonder that if you put younger people into the higher echelons, we’d see fewer endless sequels.”

What kind of human garbage threatens people, especially BABIES, over a fictional character? Just unbelievable.

Ken Levine feels like the exception that proves the rule. I have a hard time coming up with these “Brand Names” that you’re thinking of unless we’re talking Japanese game development, which would be a notably different culture from the men featured in this article.

For me personally, “fleshing out Master Chief” is a massive turn off, and kind of ruins the appeal of Master Chief. Same reason I don’t care for any of the books either. It always felt like 343 or Bungie sniffing their own farts, or overblown fanfiction (a problem with 343's entire tenure on Halo, IMHO)

Im be of those millions plus incels buying physical and Digital Deluxe

He appears at the end of Copenhagan Cowboy from Nicholas Winding Refn. and NRW himself appears prominantly in Death Stranding. I think Kojima is right where he wants to be blending the mediums.

One thousand games come out every year. Let us have something truly weird and visionary. “Artsy” as you put it. We need it.

was just replaying MGS5. It’s interesting how Metal Gear doesn’t feel like a power fantasy, or even “true stealth.” There’s this nice blend of wacky gadget and patience to appreciate the nuance of the moment.

I really disagree, I think there should be places in the industry for artistic expression and experimentation. Not everything has to be a cookie-cutter gameplay experience. While yeah Death Stranding wasn’t for me for the most part I appreciate the effort to try new things and I think we should encourage more of that…

he’s been like that since Metal Gear Solid 2. His first Twitter posters were “the sadness hits hard, I bought this leather jacket to protect me.” That’s just him, he looks like quirky Japanese guy with Werner Herzog dialog. 

That was my thought when I read the headline, but it seems unlikely here. The discussion here came because of a sex scene that was in the latest episode of True Detective: Night Country, which aired last night. That’s why he was asked about intimacy coordinators.  

Dumb people like you only have the ability to think in these terms. 

FF15 was iffy on the overall story and setting, but the relationship between the four bros was by far the best part and better than a lot of what’s in some other FFs.

really disappointed. cheap icelandic looking production, jodie foster was shockingly bad imo. maybe she’s rusty?

why? because it rhymes. There, solved it for ya

Which show provided an insight into, and commentary on, objective reality? Succession

This list makes me want a new Descent
