Xbox 360 stomped the PS3 in the U.S. too. There’s a reason why 360 was the lead platform for almost every multiplatform game released in that generation. The PS3 versions were pretty consistently inferior, some infamously so (Skyrim, Bayonetta, etc).

Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure ALL the consoles are sold at a loss and always have been. Probably with a handful of exceptions.

He can’t, sounds like ZTB is a card-carrying MAGA conservative.

“I don’t know what happens when people get corrupted,” says former drug trafficker Tim Allen.

Maybe a reboot of the Resistance series? It’s the only first party Sony FPS that comes to mind off the top of my head.

The ethics debate aside (which is a huge one) is that it instantly looks like AI. It has that flat, cheap feel with selective levels of detail because current image AI is really just approximating some mishmash from training data. It’s kind like any of those meal delivery/prep services—at first you might think “wow…

To be fair, most American TV show openings aren’t very good. They’re like fifteen seconds of some generic instrumental track over still (or barely moving) images with some credits that are just slapped in the middle of the screen.

Friendly reminder that every “It’s just a tool, bro” defender was, is, and always will be gaslighting you.

They know it’s going to be used to side-step paying artists. As evidenced above, that has always been the goal. They know. They just don’t care.

Mediocrity is a perfectly reasonable reason to not like a movie. If you think the actor’s performance was bad, also valid. However not liking a move because the lead is a “woke bitch with a flat ass” is not OK. 

“My answer is simple,” he said. “You need to have the best story, you need to have the best graphics, you need to have the best battle system, you need to have a lot of content, you need to have the Chocobos, you need to have Moogles, you need to have great sound, and that makes a Final Fantasy. And if you’re…

God, the AI-Generated opening credits are terrible, both ethically and in their quality.

ok but we’re not talking about perfectly spherical actors in a vacuum, here. We’re talking about the larger proportional breakdown of who got represented in the event.

You just had to go and remind us all Tommy Tallarico exists haha.

Xbox found a way to include multiple female devs in skyrim’s deep dive alone. Also 4 of its titles are headlined by women, and it the showcase was presented by a woman. The pre showcase was hosted by a woman as well.

“Hey! We’re diverse af! It’s just that the one woman we invited wasn’t able to make it.” Geoff... Dude... You ever hear the saying “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt”? Yeah. 🤨

Maybe. But D4 is a much better game at launch than D3 was. It also has much less controversy and has had a fairly smooth launch. Everything about D3 was a mess at launch. I fully expect D4 to be the better game in the long run. Though, IMO, D2 is still king.

Seems to me like, for all the bitching about the style, D3 is the more interesting game to look at, too.

Make gems more useful! 

at this point D3 is the better game
