And there’s a huge difference between “loud” and “asshole in a supercar” loud. I live near a highway in Brooklyn. It’s VERY loud. If I open my windows it’s a constant roar. But it’s constant and doesn’t vary much so I can tune it out.

Except why shouldn’t you?

Yep that sounds exactly like his kind of bullshit.

God what happened now?

Yeah, that was a big disappointment.

Which itself doesn’t need to be a problem, if there’s a culture of cultivating talent and creativity. Yeah, a studio might go in different directions with changing talent, but that doesn’t need to be a bad thing.

Ahhhh, yes, the trauma response. Classic conditioning technique. (And sorry you had to deal with that!)

God I wish this was me. My ADHD ass took to autosave way too easily, and now any game that requires manual saving without blatant save points is ROUGH.

There’s also a huge glaring issue here. Palworld as it is couldn’t run on a Switch, and I’d be shocked if it could run on the next-gen Nintendo system, either. (I have absolutely no clue if a steam deck would run it as I am totally ignorant about the system).

I think the surprise is really more a symptom of how we confront time through Covid. It’s really fucked up our ability to track and understand the flow of time over the past 4 years, because so much of basic life was disrupted.

Knowing nothing about this game, I gotta say, that banner image had me first thinking this was a Fallout 4 article. Something about the environment and the lighting. 

For the love of god I hope they fix the PS5 bug with the beard highlights. It’s been broken for months, where whatever highlight you choose has no effect on beards (it just remains at a 0 value, even if you have multi-toned hair on top).

Oh yeah, that’s absolutely true, good point.

I do love when Kotaku necros their own posts...

Tbh, I feel like a lot of pricing of things like this in games isn’t entirely based around current potential profits when we’re talking about companies like blizzard. They don’t necessarily need these portals to bring in max potential profit from them alone - they can also be part of a long term strategy to normalize…

I dunno, I can see overlap in play style with P3: Reloaded for sure. And with overall “vibe” I can definitely see overlap with Banishers. King Arthur feels like it’d fall into that sector of gaming, too.

If they continue with an open world concept than, for the love of god, please add in any of the features that make open world games interesting. NPCs that actually go about the flow of living, who you can actually talk to, and who actually talk about the world around them.

There’s just very little I can think of about these characters that makes me want a theatrical movie about them. They work great in television format, with slower storytelling (even if it’s been of varying quality). Grogu is a perfect couch potato character, where you can just giggle at how cute he is with really low…

Eh. I remember the overarching majority of people I talked to excited after TLJ, even if it was a “I truly don’t know where they go from here, but I’m excited to see” place. Most people out in the real world I talked to who didn’t even like TLJ were still curious and optimistic. The vast majority of people I talked to…

Did Brotherhood feel like a really big expansion to AC2?
