While Rockstar’s Max Payne 3 offered a shooter experience more resonant with contemporary third-person shooters—witness its tighter, “over-the-shoulder” aiming and cover mechanics, for example—the older games, having been released in 2001 and 2003, were uninfluenced by the trends established by Gears of War and Reside…

Holy shit, Opera does not fuck about. 

Typical corporate non-apology.

side tangent, I really hope twitter is now referred to as “X, formally known as Twitter” until it shuts down. so awkward sounding, that must eat at ol’ musky.

This has been a complete shitshow mainly due to the fact the Unity failed to 1. explain the reason for the change. and 2. didn’t look at the more obvious solution to solve the problem.

They’re also ‘confused’.

So they’re anxious, insecure and just don’t get it. For which Unity apologizes?

So we see events that are at LEAST up to recruiting Vincent in the trailer. I imagine the game will actually go farther probably to OG disc 1's end, and that’ll be the cliffhanger. The rest can easily be wrapped up in the final installment.

Yeah, I have no idea why they would do this.

Eh, not really. Most Final Fantasy games since VII were launched exclusively on Playstation (XIII and XV were the only non-MMO games that had a multi-platform launch) and sales on Xbox for FF (and in general RPGs made in Japan) have never been huge.

Well, you can talk to Epic Games about why they ceased supporting it. They are the ones who removed it.

The movie isn’t really based on the video game at all. It’s more or less based on the true story of GT Academy.

I think Cowboy Bebop live action is a bit better than its reputation suggests. The core casts pretty much brings it, and there are some smart changes that I did like that was added to it.

The problem is that “it looks like a netflix show.” So for every cool setpiece, there’s quite a bunch that fall flat because the…

In 10 years the next huge Bethesda RPG will come out and critics will be saying “it doesn’t have the charm of Starfield or Skyrim”.

Who is saying it wasn’t? I never took JRPGs as a ‘bad’ term. Just a way to differentiate them from western RPGs since JRPGs and western RPGs tend to have different design philosophies with the west usually focusing on freedom of choice/character creation and exploration while JRPGs tend to focus more on a linear…

People are desperate to find an alternative to twitter, that’s how much a shit show Musk is. He’s made Zuckerberg the good guy.

The bar is down in the Marianas Trench; Zuck manages to clear it simply by standing on the shore and only falling over once a week.

There’s something Shakespearean about Musk. He for years paid people to cultivate the image of him as a “maverick innovator” buying him guest spots on SNL, the Simpsons, Star Trek, etc. The PR people running this campaign for him knew well that “the less you see and hear from him the better” as he’d immediately…

I think a Parasite Eve HD remaster would be fantastic. I’d play the hell out of that. 

Couldn’t agree more about the writing. I have a soft spot for the source material/games and I think the 4 leads have decent chemistry which pulls me through the worst of it, but I’m often astonished at the quality of the writing. It’s kind of silly to talk about anachronisms in the context of a fantasy world, but…

I can’t imagine how the show survives without Cavill as he, along with Allan, are essentially carrying it at this point.
