I’ve read somewhere that Bethesda is shopping for an investor, and all of this is to make the inflate the company’s profits so it’s more attractive. The board’s current priority is to get as much money as fast as possible.

That FOMO thing is a double edged sword. I’ve deleted Overwatch way back when because I got tired of all the new heroes being added into the game. It’s why i stopped playing TF2 as much when hats came into the picture. It’s why I don’t play FPS games that require me to “progress” to get new gear. I just want a…

I mean, no wonder, at least this way they get to work on a game.

Basically any multiplayer game that has any “progression”, paid or otherwise is to be avoided. Level playing field always makes for a more enjoyable game overall. This rule has served me very well through the years.

SSFF made a whole video about that very subject.

The point of Pokemon Masters being... people are the real monsters.

I love rhythm games, but the music, and the instruments, are just so jarring and unlistenable. I had to stop an hour in because it wasn’t any fun to listen to whatever came out of the speakers. Which is sad, as the premise is pretty awesome. Am I going deaf? ;/

Set your region to Belgium, so you get crafting materials instead of lootboxes - you’ll be able to craft legendaries you actually want.

Our new titles will leverage the Minecraft brandAAAUEBGBLGHLEEEEEE

The loading times on this are pretty annoying!

Incidentally, this is why I don’t game on phones.

- Captain, the Anti-Dick Pic Counter-Measures are failing!

Yarrr mateys, there are always other options.

I don’t understand the infatuation with game streaming considering its inherent limitations. I’ve got my home network wired on a GBe copper with Steam streaming set up, and frankly, Far Cry or Witcher 3 can be a blurry mess in areas with lots of foliage, Dirt gets very blocky when there’s lots of smoke, and forget…

Christ, what an asshole.

Whew, I was worried for a while there that Anthem will be a sucess and EA won’t finally collapse under its own hubris, but it seems everything is steadily on track! All we need now is a revised microtransaction “offer” that’s going to be implemented 2-3 months after the game’s launch and the game’s subsequent…

What, you guys have phones, right?

So Activition is eating out Blizzard from the inside. And that road has a long history, so say goodbye folks, because we all know how it’s going to go.

Fallout 76 does its job as a source of entertainment. Just not in the way Bethesda planned.
