Big games cost fortunes to make and still release like this, and yet this is as close as possible to these companies literally telling us “eh, wait until it’s half price, it’ll be fixed by then.”

They are shooting themselves in the foot.

and arguments about the age of consent.

I find that generally people who like to call themselves libertarian are just republicans who like marijuana.

Why is it that every dickish personality out there right now seems to try and brush it aside with “i’m a libertarian”?

Preproduction isn’t free, but it is also not that expensive. When these games are in pre, a handful of people will be working on them, and when they go into full alpha dev, that will balloon quickly into hundreds of people. So that isn’t where the cost is. And, by the way, spending a lot of time in preproduction isn’t…

There seems to be a growing perception that every AAA game must be a forever-game with 60+ hours of busy-work over a highly replayable game.

Thing is, those marketing budgets are necessary. Not for you and me but dor the kinds of people who only play AAA games and don't read any type of gaming news site with regularity. And believe it or not, those kinds of folks are the majority of the gaming space

Ad the thing is it doesn’t need to be this way. The last AAA game I played a ton of was AC: Valhalla and I didn’t finish it. With tools like unreal engine 5, game development should be getting cheaper, not more expensive.

genuinely love how mad and despondent this show is making everyone. cannot wait to see what happens.

The CODA director stuff reminded me of what it must have been like for Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden doing Captain Marvel.

Guaranteed Hader is a big Scanners fan. 

The Raven flies again!

This episode brings up a recurring theme of the show: leave the killing to the professionals.

“why he’s leaving the show”

Seems that way, by how they all stopped eating and waited until he started eating until they continued.  That’s a huge sign of respect.

I was almost expecting the convicts to start clapping once Fuches managed to finally take his seat for his meal. His refusal to talk to the Warden, despite the beating he took, has earned their respect and probably their loyalty.

My suggestion is to replay just enough of the beginning to remember the mechanics, then jump back to your current save file. I couldn’t remember much about the original game’s story, but the sequel did a decent enough job recapping things. I think if you just get back into the game, you will be reminded about the…

My favorite reason for not finishing a game was Shadow of the Colossus. I knew nothing of the plot going in and was immediately awed by the grandeur of the colossi. However, by the time I felled the third one, it was clear to me that what I was doing was wrong. These massive, incredible creatures were minding their…

I couldn’t finish Ghost of Tsushima because of how annoyingly windy it was.

I really don’t have a reason other than these 3.
