The game has everything the PS5/Series X versions have, it just looks like it would for a game running on 6 year old handheld. How is that a mess? What a weird article.

I have a hard time believing they could ever get any distributor to agree to that. That’s just a crazily insane thing to try and monetize.

They’ve always been like this, dating all the way back to the PS2 days. Maybe even longer. They’ve got a long and established history of doing development in a way that costs a lot of money.

My nephew told me that little fact a month or so ago and I was legit surprised. Like there’s no way the PC version makes more for them than XB1 & PS4 versions, so it’s baffling.

Yeah that’s true. EA is also a massive conglomerate so expecting the folks who brought us the FIFA Ultimate Team crap to be sensible about their microtransactions (with a supposed NBA Live competitor) is on it’s face ridiculous; but that’s where we’re at with the 2K games.

I miss the old 2K games. I played so much of the myplayer stuff around 2k10-14 era that everyone once in a while I get an itch to play something like that. But they’ve ramped up the unsavory parts of it and it just makes me sad this game has no competitor.

Not mentioned in the article is the fact that they’ve gone back to their old habit of not updating the engine on PC. So the console versions have the “next gen” updates but the PC version is stuck on the last gen engine. I get it personally, as even my i5 potato can run it, but it’s a big no-no if you’re a hardcore pc…

Yeah, I ignored it because it’s a strange, arbitrary thing to base a claim on. It’s not a new concept, regardless of if it’s 3D or not.

PROGRESS!

Ubisoft makes 15 copy-paste games a year and it’s all shrugs and murmurs from the peanut gallery

Even the tweet comes off as sarcastic to me. Unless you occupy a section of Twitter that always takes randomly snipped stuff like this deadly serious, then yeah get out the pitchforks I guess.

Does the game feature ladders?

Jump King was a big deal a few years ago.

I mean, the Creation Engine being the problem also counts as a design choice, no?

This is a cop-out, right? Like surely the real reason is their engine doesn’t do land vehicles well, at all? Not even their fallout games have land vehicles.

This seemed really strange, then I realized that a lot of non-celebs go through this stuff as well. Anyways, good luck Grimes! Idk what you were expecting but you’re stuck now!

LOL the energy going on in this review is fascinating, and I understand it. Anyways it’s kind of amazing how literally one dude made a game that shifted the landscape for these games while actual studios have spent the time after that running the concept into the ground with bland, soulless iterations.

I’m still amazed, all these years later, that this vaguely funny man got this gig in the first place. 

If we’re talking about a Bethesda game, maybe? The problem with Bethesda games is that they do the opposite of what you described, but to the extreme. Like I played Fallout 4 last year after ignoring it for a while, and this very thing is still there but it’s kind of muted. Skyrim? They literally beat you over the…

Uh, sure.
