I don’t see any reason not to. Their explanation makes perfect sense, and it’s a lot more reasonable than “we just didn’t care enough to make sure the project we spent years working on actually worked.”

They did that.  This was literally the equivalent of a typo that caused this issue, in that the tested version that was supposed to be deployed wasn’t, and a different version was.  It’s honest human error.  Shit happens.  

It’s no more costly to develop games, especially with all the extra tax breaks and incentives, etc. It’s pure corporate greed and consolidation.

The discs, packaging, and shipping were always a pittance of the actual overhead cost of bringing the product to market. The money is spent on the development and marketing, and the budgets required for AAA games are in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Or just get GamePass. It was already paying for itself anyway.

I enjoyed it, but it was pretty clear that it was cut way down from something bigger to make its release, and the pacing and character development suffer for it.

I didn’t say playing a regular guy makes you a good voice actor. I’m saying Pratt does a better job as a regular guy on whom there is no expectations than he does as a generational icon that everyone in the world recognizes.

There’s still time to Sonic the Hedgehog this project.  Redubbing Mario’s voice is child’s play compared to completely redoing a character model and the associated animations.

That’s because Emmet is just some regular guy, not an iconic character people have been growing up with for 40 years, and who has had a well-established voice for more than half of that time.

This kid has handled this entire tournament on field and off like a fucking pro. Pure poise.  I was already a Tyler Adams fan from watching him play for Leipzig and Leeds, but this tournament is making him a star.

The combat was weird and put a lot of people off, and the pacing in the middle of the game bogs (literally) things way down.  

I’d look to RDR2 for inspiration if I were making an open-world game today.

I think there’s value in “don’t fix what isn’t broke.” If the mechanics hold up by modern standards, and all the game really needs is a new coat of paint, then that’s fine.

It might have if Control had been created by the founder of the SCP Foundation, and had been officially endorsed by them.  That’s the difference between a “fan” project (although a very expensive one in Control’s case) and an officially endorsed product.  

Or a moment of clarity for an artist that understands this isn’t the medium for his best creative work.  

Because it’s all actually incredibly tame and calling it “psychological torture” is dumb clickbait.  

I’m not sure Nintendo gets to make that decision, or that the naming convention matters.  If players don’t consider it part of the mainline series, then it effectively isn’t.

Tron is bad.

Chapek was in charge of the parks division at the time.

“You can skip it” isn’t really a defense of bad content. Players don’t generally want to skip the content. They want the content to be good.
