TBH, Embracer’s decisionmaking has been very questionable for a long time. Their approach of just gobbling up mid-tier studies and franchises would make sense if they targeted mid-budget AA-type games, but you can’t put hundreds of millions and years of effort into a B-movie type game like Saints Row, have it bomb,…

Without any context, my immediate reaction to a 6/10 review for this game is just that it doesn’t seem to be made in good faith. 6/10 reviews are usually about games where something is seriously wrong, not for games that are good, but just not the player’s taste. I personally don’t particularly love 3D Zelda games,…

BOTW’s open-world hype is not about the fact that it plays out in an open, non-linear way.

Honestly, this is a really uninformed comment that reads like an American who has never left the continent he was born on. In other places, rich people take public transport to work every day, because it’s more convenient than driving. Hell, where I live, the head of the government can often be seen on the train that…

Eh, I own all the games I’m emulating, I just prefer to run them on my portable Windows device because it has a larger screen, and runs them way better than a real Switch. It also means I have one less device to carry with me on holidays and stuff like that.

That a non-sequitur. Nobody is saying Nintendo is wrong to take down ROM sites that distribute TotK. They’re DMCA-striking a tool that is perfectly legal. That’s the problem.

There’s usually something related to IT, so I think for many people doing any kind of work in front of a computer that isn’t otherwise listed, that’s the closest.

“endless grind”

Why, though? This guy isn’t under contract with anyone. He didn’t promise to not break a street date. He signed nothing. He just bought something (which means it’s now his) and opened it. He literally did nothing wrong or in any way illegal at all.

So if I think you’ve stolen something, I can just enter your home and take it? That seems very convenient for me.

I think most reasonable people would understand that when they say “Photoshop wasn’t used”, they don’t mean “it wasn’t used for any touchup at all” but instead mean “they’re actually in the air with a car during the photoshoot”. Obviously, all of these types of photos go through something like PSD before they get put…

I’d watch that movie.

In my opinion, what Team Xecuter did should not be illegal. Apple’s application notes that:

At this point, I feel like they should just ship this as-is, and then immediately stop supporting it and let Rocksteady start working on a game that’s actually good. Stop polishing this turd.

Yeah, just make it an accessibility feature. I only played a little bit of Resi 4 when it came out, and I didn’t realize the crates were breakable. OTOH, I play a lot of games that focus on puzzles, and in some modern games, it’s really weird how there is a whole puzzle set up for you to solve, and then somebody just…

More of this, please. I wonder if this guy got taken in because he threatened a police officer, or because he was particularly stupid and very easy to find.

I’m pretty sure everybody who worked on this game knew how badly it would be received. The problem isn’t the people who actually worked on this game, it’s WB, which has a knack for taking good studios making good, successful games, and forcing them to run themselves into the ground. That’s how we went from Shadow of…
