That this article all but applauds MS for being “ahead of its time” is just sickening to me. It wasn’t ahead of its time. They just boiled the frog slowly. Partially thanks to sites like this not caring enough to even write about it.

Agreed about that online check bullshit. I don’t buy stuff digitally because in the end it’s an expensive rental. But I had Xbox gift cards and Alan Wake 2 is annoyingly only available digitally. So I “bought” it. One night when I was playing the Comcast internet went out and I got a pop-up saying I can’t play without…

I hate this trend of NG+ games getting entirely new endings and story content. I loved this game, but I don’t want to have to replay it just to get a few additional snippets. I’ve got too many other games to play.

Truth. Why the games industry just basically handed over the void left by E3 to HIM (Summer Game Fest) is beyond me.

The gleeful smile on Sam Lake’s face during the end dance sequence was so heartwarming. He was so happy to be allowed to share his work with everyone.

Agreed. I hate that game journalists called for the death of e3 over and over until it died, only to let it get replaced by Geoff doing his own ego driven summer E3 clone.

What ad did I complain about? You really think Kojima PAYS his “best buddy” to be there?

The way they kept, almost instantly, playing people off was terrible. It really felt like they don’t give a shit about the awards when they have to bring out Kojima to announce nothing for eons. Geoff even ‘thanking’ the first winners for keeping it short felt less like the joke he, no doubt, intended it to be and…

I might play it... eventually.

Tell me you haven’t played Night Trap without telling me you haven’t played Night Trap.

It’s Sony’s store and any time a game got pulled because of a publisher or a license issue people who previously bought those gsmes are still able to re-download them. So even though Discovery is also at fault it’s on Sony for not keeping the files available on their servers or giving refunds.

The fact that enough idiots will buy even the ‘cheap’ 50 dollar bundle is exactly why the game industry is the microtransaction shitshow it currently is...

Depressingly true. 

I think it's some kind of Twitter clone. 

They could have just advertised it as a sequel to the original series instead of leading people on to assume it was just going to be a more fleshed out animated version of the book series.

Yeah, I had the same experience, only to see later that day that the LE was on sale again, for a while... Thanks Valve. 😒

You should look into heroic games launcher on Steam Deck... It would have saved you the price of a game.

Sheldon: The Next Bazingeration

Compared to Starfield, yeah, 100% serious. I played like 20 hours of the game before realizing I was only playing it because it was on game pass, not because I was enjoying the game or story. 

AND resident evil 4 isn’t a remake? Or are you gonna claim THAT doesn’t apply to this discussion because it’s not nominated in THIS category. 🙄
