That is all true, but it has nothing to do with QA testers getting screwed. Share holders see this as maximizing profits, which wouldn’t be held against Bobby. You’re right to be angry about all of it, but don’t naively think that your anger means it should all be conflated. He’s shitty, no doubt, but this is some… Read more

Considering that contract workers are easier to fuck over, and that it’s seen as a boost to profit margins, this would likely happen under a lot of CEOs. It speaks more to the need of a union for QA testers than for a needed change at the CEO position.
It’s absurd that Konami doesn’t outsource ports of these and other franchises like Silent Hill for every modern platform. It’s like they’re fixated on Castlevania.
The current plan is apparently to combine PlayStation’s cloud-based gaming service PlayStation Now with the monthly free game offerings of PlayStation Plus, phasing out the former in favor of the latter’s more prominent branding. Read more
Gamepass let’s you download the games. Now also quietly added that, but not for every game. So yeah, there’s room for improvement there, in addition to adding newer titles.
I think FFVIIR was a bigger deal than Control…
It’s true. The typical mainstream American chocolates tastes watered down and artificial. I’m biased, though, because I like dark chocolate. You can get real tasting chocolate from local and boutique candy shops, but the majority of Americans are getting Hersheys garbage at super markets.
That was a sort of console made out of living tissue. It would plug into players. It’s a weird movie directed by David Cronenberg, who has a knack for the grotesque. He also did The Fly iirc.
Aka Kotaku fish.
Wasted opportunity to bring out the Kotaku fish for the header image.
Is it a demo if it’s skipping you ahead to the end game? I personally drop looters after the story, as the treadmill doesn’t do it for me, but a lot of people seem to enjoy grinding and watching their numbers go up, whether it’s Division, Destiny, Diablo, and whatever else starts with “D”.
I agree. The game may have done ok as a PS+ game at launch... maybe (see Destruction All-Stars). People were presumably distracted by other stuff at launch. But it certainly would have done alright on Gamepass.
This right here. It’s worth pointing out when you’ve got the contrasting models of PS+ and EGS.
Well, now you’ve saved me a lot of time whenever this hits PS+
All Ghillied Up is from the previous decade - not the 2010s. If we’re counting memorable campaigns from the 2000s, then I think that makes a lot of lists but probably below FarCry 2, Halo 1-3, Crysis, FEAR, and Half-Life 2 - I’m not sure how people would feel about counting immersive sims like Bioshock. COD is… Read more
You’re right, and I’m starring you for it, but you got see the grim political reality for what it is. This is something Mitch likely won’t kill in the Senate. Everything else that’s near the top requires a prolonged fight that won’t conclude positively for dems before the holiday break. This is something they can… Read more
I feel that MissingNo was part of the charm. For many people that was their first exploitable glitch, and it helped fuel playground rumors like Mew residing in a pokeball under a truck parked by the SS Anne - the fact a real Mew glitch was later discovered is a whole other matter. It made the game feel like it could… Read more
“Into the Abyss” and “Cause and Effect” are the two truly stand out chapters in that campaign. I found the rest of it to be fairly solid. Read more
Because that’s not how a publicly traded company maximizes profit, and shareholders would hate it.
I know. That’s why I’m leaning away from Lucario. I don’t need another Steele type. I’d lean away from him if I had infernape too, because I wouldn’t need to double down on fighting types.
