I thought the whole thing looked awesome.
I suppose if this were a water simulation game, maybe I would have an opinion, but I spent the video watching how Peter and Miles were thwipping and spinning and gliding around to be super critical of the water that still looks impressive to me. Maybe it’s because I’m from an…

There’s ANOTHER twitter controversy over the fact that the New York in Spiderman 2 appears to be the New York from Spiderman 1 (shocker!) And people be getting all mad about “Same map, Lazy Devs” discourse all over again, by posting photos of the same location in both games and getting mad because they...look like the…

While I would love to jealously shit on this game. As an xbox player who will likely not get to play it this generation: It fucking looks fine. this shit reminds me of the controversey over Alan Wake on the 360 where the game was only running at 716P and people lost their shit.

I mean, I mostly play games on the Xbox and even I wouldn’t have thought of half of those games, especially since a lot of them sorta came and went without much ongoing conversation around them. So if you didn’t play them you’d probably forget them (I’m mainly thinking of Battletoads here, which is a game I played a…

I admit I panicked when I thought MGS3 Remake was PS5 exclusive, I have a PS5, but I vastly prefer my Series X for anything any third party/multi-plat games, the controller feels far better, dualsense isn’t anything special to me. 

This being pretty standard practice notwithstanding, I’ve always wondered how these showcase premiere deals are negotiated.

As a former ISP call centre employee nothing makes me angrier to see the suggestion to contact your ISP when there is an issue with a specific app. 

Yeah basically the runes give you small boosts to specific stats, but you can ultimately really optimize those rune books in a way that gives you an edge over someone who doesn’t optimize them.  You can get there, eventually, using the free in game currency, but it takes a lot of matches to build out your inventory so…

I’m just replying to flex on Mattman by being more ultra

1995 was at the tail end of a bit of a period of wage stagnation with federal minimum wage increasing in ‘96 and then again in ‘97 but even then, adjusted for inflation, minimum wage in ‘95 would have equated to $8.46 today, higher than our current minimum wage of $7.25, that’s over $2,500 more annually. So, while…

You don’t think that Jedi Survivor would turn a profit at $60? I get that you don’t mind paying developers that you want to support more for their efforts but that’s really not what’s happening here, you’re falling for the corporate machine. Bazzd, Jerykk, and Realnoize42 have all articulated the situation quite well,…

How many of those 70$ purchases are via the coupons where the game basically just cost 50$?

I realize that I’m a data point of one, but as the price of new games rises, so decreases the frequency with which I buy new games.

literally fuck blizzard. Unlocking characters behind hours and hours of gameplay for the now lied about sequel when people already paid for a game? The gatcha was infinitely better to the battle pass. The only good custom mode on OW2 was GooglyEyes April Fools. No one actually cared about the pve they lied about if…

Here’s the thing you’re clearly overlooking. The amount developers make on game sales has increased signifcantly. Or have you not noticed the dozens of indie titles released yearly for $20-25 that get as many sales as some triple-A games. You think they’re selling at that price to undercut big games? No, they’re…

Look, I’m all for consumer rights, and for telling corporations to **** themselves. But it is honestly stupidly amazing we’ve managed to hold the line at $60 for so long, and $70 is probably honestly overdue.

I’m perfectly fine paying $70 for a game if it means developers and designers are being paid a fair wage for their work and it’s not just making the rich richer. But it’s just like any other industry during this crazy economic period. People are being overworked and underpaid, prices are going up for consumers as…

Also, like, at this point, I would imagine the majority of the players in OW2 bought it as OW1. OW1 was executed to make way for “OW2", which in light of the PVE cancellation was effectively a large OW1 update. So for many people, Overwatch is/was not free.

“But it’s free, guys!”

It amazes me how poorly OW has been handled.
