I mean at multiple points it goes out of his way to show him executing people who had surrendered,

Really? Game Joel was running through that hospital throwing molotovs, burning people alive, dousing hallways in flamethrowers, blowing people to bits with fuckin’ nail bombs, beating the shit out of everyone with a baseball bate with scissors and knives taped to it, shooting corpses repeatedly just to see the ragodol…

Gonna be honest, this is a pretty wild read that makes me think the division caused by the ending will not be mitigated at all. Because to me, I was thinking during the finale: “Wow Joel comes off even worse here than in the game.” Especially because the show, for the most part, has avoided Joel being depicted as a…

You think that publishers are going to keep paying people to make the art if they can pay one person to run a few different AI’s to do it all?

Less-labor intensive? The purpose isn’t to make art easier, it’s to steal their work altogether and push them away - which they are already doing. Making their labor obsolete is just another pro-corporate convenience.

Yeh as we all know, if you stop reading the media outlets and listen to the *players* and their experiences you realise this was overblown by the media.

With all due respect, who the hell plays an RPG like this? All those quests you mentioned were doable way before the end of the game. I know this because I got to the point where that bodyguard guy said we had to survey a parade route and I did like 40 hours of sidequests instead. Seriously, I’m dumbfounded here that…

As someone who enjoyed the hell out of it and is waiting on pins and needles for the Phantom Liberty dlc, thank you for working on it. The hard work has paid off, and there will be moments from this game I will remember forever. You guys deserve at least twenty medals for all the bullshit you’ve likely had to go…

As someone who worked on it... I’m happy you finally gave it a real chance and got some enjoyment out of it. :)

Get over yourself Luke. Stop beating a dead horse. “Disastrous Launch” ? Or did all the gaming news companies all jump on the same bandwagon?

Maybe because I’m a long-time Bethesda player who’s used to ignoring the main quest to go exploring; maybe because I’m not a CDPR fan (only played Witcher 1, didn’t like it, can’t stand Geralt) who didn’t have any “Witcher 3 but with cars” expectations; maybe because I didn’t watch all the hype reels they put out...…

What actually bothers me more about it than it being a looter-shooter (albeit I AM bothered by that because of the history these types of games has) is that it looks like all four characters practically play the same.

They tried to state how they were different but in the end all it looked like was watching four…

It shouldn’t be surprising that game studios owned by people in totalitarian countries where speaking out against the government is a good way to get arrested ... don’t speak out against the government. It’s kind of, tautological.

Carolyn, you really need to relax. You are reading WAY too deep into some of this shit. I get it, it’s cool to be on the Rowling hate train and Kotaku loves stirring up unnecessary controversies, but it’s okay to enjoy video games, even controversial ones, without the baggage of social commentary and toxic social…

Oracle of Seasons/Ages were shown in the “Games to be added” at the end of announcement.

Also the name is fun.

About a decade or so ago (shortly after PS4 and Xbox One launched) I was a Gamestop employee. My first full non training day actually. I was told to go out and clean the window and door just before closing. As I was out there a guy ran up towards me with a gun and put it to my back and walked me inside the store. Kept…

IIRC, Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx weren’t on the list, so that’s a big loss to the library.

Because I can’t afford to build my own gaming PC which is going to be outdated in half a year, nor do I know how. I’m not gonna argue that it’s NOT a niche product but this is a PC Master Race argument you’re having. I’m just a gamer, man. I’m not a techie.

Good. Because here is the thing: I would buy this Day 1 if they committed to supporting PC. I have a PS5, I like it, but I don’t foresee using the VR headset on that enough to justify the cost, but an foveated rendering, eye-tracking lightweight, high-res headset that I could also plug in for PCVR? Easy purchase at…
