I imagine the reason that this demo only exists on the PS5 is because UE5 is still under development, and it was probably a ton of work and debugging just to get this demo running on the PS5 itself. The version of the engine on display here was probably very carefully tailored for this particular demo, because it’s…

I thought it was a shortened version of “simpering,” which is a word often used to refer derogatorily to women who submit too easily to others and let themselves be pushed around.

What about “ok boomer.” That’s at least as good as “wack.” 

An employee leaking the game as a form of protest seems very half baked, and like a good way to alienate their co-workers.

it was probably from an outsource company

The chileans are not to be trusted!

That’s me.  I liked previous entries in the series, but I tapped out of this one after about two weeks of tedious busy work.  

I’m interested in hearing from those who are already bored of this game/stopped playing it. I personally don’t have it, but I hear/read non-stop praise for it and I still don’t really understand it.

I don’t wanna yuck anyone’s yum, but boy does this game not sound remotely fun. 

This is a garbage change that makes me sad.  In a game where you pretty much play however you want to make your own fun, taking away one of my few goals (save up enough to earn 1 Million bells per month) just feels shitty.

I can never get into Life in Aggro. Their panel placements just always seem really bad to me.

No you’re right, I should have no standards and accept every single piece of shit fluff as if it’s some wondrous comedy haven. These comics are awful, they’re unfunny, some are well drawn sure, but that’s where the effort ended.

Your shitty, “you sound fun” catchphrase response shows I’m at least more fun than a…

They have more time than ever to work on these comics. Let that sink in. What a moribund set of non-anythings. 

Animal Crossing has been more relaxing and therapeutic for me than anything else. I don’t know why people have such complexes when they see other people with nice elaborate islands and homes. I would think that kind of stuff would give you inspiration instead of envy.

“In our hyper-connected capitalist world, especially right now, productivity in general—not just in Animal Crossing—can be performative. We equate productivity with worth and meaning because it’s what we’ve been primed to do.”

Naughty Dog/Sony isn’t the Red Cross. They’re a business. Business want money. They obviously won’t just say that. There’s nothing nefarious going on here.

So, when some of the people who would’ve got it digitally on the original release date start spreading spoilers across the internet (for a highly anticipated game with a heavy leaning on story), while the other people who ordered physical/special editions would have to wait possibly months for their game to arrive,…

You act like it’s some giant secret that they’re a business that profits from selling products.

lol, it has nothing to do with completeness.

I’m so glad this is getting more attention. It’s honestly pretty awful for any household that shares a console. You basically have to pay $300 extra for the full Animal Crossing experience? I mean, could you imagine if other games did this kind of thing? If each Switch could only support one BotW save and world state…
