That’s fair but also we’re talking nearly twenty years of annual releases, a completely different subset of players with a heavy focus on multiplayer. From Software has no esports scene to cash in on. The only thing the two games really have in common is that they’re video games. It’s a valid point, I just can’t…

This is quite literally the origin of the modern series, modders including modern weaponry. Similar to have Battlefield 1942's Desert Combat mod was responsible for the future of the franchise, and they hired most of the team behind it. I don’t think anyone is confused about that.

These are such self-important jackasses. They’re like “some higher up wants to appear to casual gamers” does this guy know that this is a series that lives and dies by casual players? That is the definitive casual shooter? A lot of game designers lose their fanbase designing a game that make decisions based on Esports…

Most antvirus is shitty shovelware that doesn’t actually help you. a VPN + Hitman Pro.Alert so you have keystroke encryption and better DEP makes sense but the average consumer really does not need more than Microsoft’s own firewall and AV, assuming you have Windows 10 or 11 and the latest updates installed.

This is a good post.

It certainly chased me away from the game. That and the gameplay of Destiny not having changed since 2014 and never having been that fun to begin with! On paper Destiny 2 is the easiest sell possible for someone like me, in practice I boot up the game and get bored in a matter of minutes.

Charging for an expansion and…

Let me just say what all the other comments are afraid to: are you upset that WOMEN are prominently featured in the promotional image? Does it scare you that one of them even has *gasp* skin pigment?

If you don’t explain yourself folks are just going to assume you’re a bigot in spaces like this, and well...…

Good. It’s one of the best games of all time.

I do like this logic, as I have a bloody Half-Life 2 tattoo and those games introduced me to loving games and game development. 

Judging from Rockstar’s Tweet it looks like it won’t slow down development nearly as significantly. That’s great news. I’m glad you were right.

If the source code is in the wild I expect years of delay. I sincerely hope this person does not have the entire source code. It’s 2003's Half-Life 2 leak all over again. This is a big L for fans who wanted to play the game anytime in the next couple of years.

This is just not good, as intriguing as it is, this is not…

This has been discussed before and they’re not retiring battlepasses when the next one drops. Well, not in any official capacity—you can complete their objectives anytime you want. Battlepasses “stack” I don’t know what this will look like in execution but the plan is to never lock people out of character progression.

e…

My latest EVGA underperforms and the cooler is nothing impressive. This 3080 isn’t really pushing 4k 60 even on low, and I know my bottleneck is thermal throttling. I wasn’t going to buy from them again. I’ll probably start buying MSI. 

Third person will be nice for people like me who enjoy buying skins. I also just like seeing my character, it feels cool. The rest of the news is that they’re making an extraction / Tarkov type mode. MW2: 2 is an absolutely massive game.

I shamelessly eat up the annual Call of Duty, and this one looks great. Finally…

I enjoyed this post. ~_~ it’s very RGG of you 

It has been my experience that this individual is rageful about everything. It’s completely bizarre.

I think Like a Dragon is a better name for the series. They changed it to line up with the JP name when they started pushing the series as Sega’s top international IP.

If it was a series based on market pressure they wouldn’t have taken the risk of turning it into a turn based RPG marketed on comedy instead of drama.

I’d rather they kept the IP open to changes and not get stale. Radical game redesigns keep studios passionate.

It was fine. I was indifferent. He definitely doesn’t need to be a primary character though, Ichiban is too lovable and his plot is more or less complete.

Fan service sells games, it was kind of dumb to put him in LAD and now he has to be in the sequel too. Kiryu can go away now bye!!! (really)—feels like a meme to make his haircut so Anime/Otaku, they have to know what they’re doing. Right? ...right? Make him a pound mate or something if you need to please the drooling…
