They can’t remove the cap because if they did, it negates the need for the microtransactions. All EA is trying to accomplish right now is to turn the heat down just enough for them to throw the switch and re-enable the microtransactions. Once The Last Jedi is in theaters and everyone has a brand new copy of…

First Person Shooters have been calling me a wuss for years because I play at the lower difficulties. It doesn’t even phase me anymore.

The problem in that depends on who and when they get in office. If another Republican makes it into office, they’ll likely double down on whatever bad decisions were made this time around. If a Democrat makes it into office, they’re going to have so much stuff to fix that the tax stuff might get overlooked or put on…

Assuming this actually makes it to court and isn’t settled in some closed-room deal, and assuming John Cena manages to win the case, it could have some interesting ramifications for big businesses treating products they make as services instead of goods.

Does anyone who has one of these ever have a problem with certain syllables or sounds randomly dropping? I have one and it can be aggravating having the sound randomly drop out for a split second.

Part of the problem is that some of those average working persons were swindled into voting for this administration to begin with and the effects won’t really be noticed immediately. When they do crop up, it will be blamed on Obama, or those damned Democrats who wouldn’t let Trump make our country great again, or…

They’re just going to wait for the heat to die down. They took microtransactions out of the game that they shoe-horned them into, so they’re the good guys now. Christmas is around the corner and a new Star Wars movie on the horizon, so this game will flood into houses across the land. And then they flip the switch and…

It’s not ideal, but it keeps their costs down and makes PSVR an affordable entry into VR.

This just highlights the larger problem with licensed games specifically and the digital age in general. There’s never a guarantee that those games will stick around and with them all being digital, there’s no guarantee that you’ll even be able to use it after the cut off date. In the olden days of gaming, you had a…

It may not always be the publisher’s fault and the unpopular design decision may not have been a direct edict from the publisher, but it was still influenced by the publisher. Blood, Sweat, and Pixels showed some interesting behind-the-scene moments where a publisher’s demand more or less completely changes the…

It’s probably not DICE’s fault, just like the shortcomings of the first game weren’t their fault. EA mandates what it expects from the games and the developers are left trying to check off as many boxes as they can. The downside is that if the game flops because of the controversy, EA could use the under-performance…

So, after planning a blatant cash grab lootbox system that they only walked back (twice!) because of how hugely unpopular it was, are we supposed to applaud them for reducing (not removing) their greed?

I like that their appearance seems to be based more off of the original live action movies than the more recent ones.

So, how long until they close this studio down?

I was curious about this game. The trailer gave it a Journey meets Flower vibe. It’s a little disappointing that the game may not live up to that potential. I may still give it a try though.

It only raised one for me: why is this a thing?

GTA V has sold more than 80 billion copies. It sold 11 million copies on the first day, which was before multiplayer was even in the game. If they released single player DLC at $5 a pop, and only a tenth of their audience bought it, that would still be 40 billion dollars. Realistically, they would charge more for the…

Except the “I’ll wait until it goes on sale” or “I’ll wait until the GOTY edition comes out” mindsets are a direct result of the production companies. Years ago, you’d look forward to a game to come out, then you’d buy the game knowing you’d get a complete experience. Now, they push pre-orders through various…

“As a company we love single-player more than anything, and believe in it absolutely - for storytelling and a sense of immersion in a world, multiplayer games don’t rival single-player games.” - Rockstar Games director of design Imran Sarwar insists the success of Grand Theft Auto Online and lack of narrative-driven G…

I didn’t like the mess that was made of MGSV, so this is an easy pass for me.
