Is it? I don’t think it’s hard to acknowledge that game development is extremely hard while also criticizing shitty marketing and hype.

FF7 Remake was announced at E3 2015. I think it’s fair to expect that three years later we might hear at least a tiny bit about it. And it’s embarrassing that Square Enix is pulling a Versus XIII again.

Welcome to Rapture, Valve.

Jason, you tread a dark path.

huh, you’re right. it’s for switch though.

Went in with little expectation. I’m actually rather excited for it now.

Bluuuuuuuh. Hard to get excited about this. Pokemon with couch co-op sounds incredible, but with Pokemon Go capture mechanics? I’m skeptical, but I won’t dismiss it just yet.

“While these games are the first proper Pokémon games to come to the Switch, Nintendo also announced today that there is a “core” Pokémon game in development for the console, slated to come late 2019.”

Someone was not paying attention at all.

The primary reason Bluehole has to lose this case is because Fortnite is a derivative work with the derivation lying solely on the vague concept of what constitutes “battle royale” gameplay.

Well then, this move by Bluehole just made me abandon them completely. I haven’t played Fortnite before and I do own PUGB, but fuck shitheads like them if they want to be scummy like this. Fortnite, here I come, just in spite of Bluehole to increase your playercount.

Well thats one way to piss in your own cereal

Ultimately, this just makes Blue Hole look pathetic.

Oh boy. Remember the last time a company that used Epic’s engine sued Epic? Silicon knights remembers.

Counterpoint: is there anything wrong with showing these topics without “approaching” them directly? Some people’s lives are just this bad. For some people, abuse is another Tuesday. Sometimes life *is* shitty. This isn’t portrayed very much in video games. Just introducing the topic at all in gameplay instead of…

oh god shut up, just enjoy your game

Now I have to watch Band of Brothers again. THANKS A LOT.

Women fought in WW II.

This is established historical fact.

The delicate fee-fees of the armchair historians who’ve never cared to engage with the reality of the war beyond saying “I watched Band of Brothers five times” (and no insult to Band of Brothers; I own the Blu-Ray and DVD editions, it was that good) are not a…

On the other side of the coin the gaming market wouldn’t be as big or prevalent without consoles. Plus, the longer consoles wait until they launch a new gen, the bigger the graphical leap when it does happen. Sony is also supposedly helping AMD with their new processor so if we get a Zen 2 in the ps5 I’d be pretty…

Eh to your first point. And for your second...uhhh, I take it you never knew about the Mankeys and Nidorans with Double Kick to the west of Viridian...
