it’s really easy to defend it when the alternative is siding with people like you

I’m getting a very weird Track and Field II vibe from this and I am way more interested in this now. Which is to say I have some interested in it because before this it was none.

I feel like after the R&C reboot and the movie there might not be any more R&C for a while. I would rather them go back to the Future series (which was itself kind of like a soft reboot from the PS2 era) than follow the new reboot, but honestly I’d take any new R&C.

I paid $14 to get into the alpha years ago, and I’ve spent over 2000 hours in it. That’s less than a penny PER HOUR.

Yeah I think under Spencer they’d sell their games on every platform in the world if they could. As opposed to Sony, which is still in exclusive-exclusive-exclusive mode, an approach that will no doubt sell a lot of PS5s.

Functionally I doubt this really changes much (except for the Sunset Overdrive fans) but this is just another top tier studio under the Sony umbrella now. Their first party team is something to behold. 

I mean, nice try at echoing my sentence structure, but not liking business practices isn’t even in the top ten of things wrong with internet nerd culture. Sexism, anyone? Toxicity in co-op? No, it’s people who are annoyed at exclusivity!

Except Microsoft has a nasty habit of gutting such studios. And beyond that, I’m allowed to understand the economics of a process and not enjoy the results; trust me, I get why these things happen, I just think it’s lousy.

Yeah, Online isn’t usually my thing either, but after so, so many hours in single player - once through the whole game, and however many hours playing a second time through till Chapter 3 (but not doing the first Dutch mission, so I can still use guns in Rhodes) and then sticking to free-roam, I decided to make the…

Shocked but pleased that Ori is making the switch, hoping for Will of the Wisps to come over eventually as well. Can’t stand Microsoft buying up indies and making them exclusive, never thought I’d see this happen.

That means I'm fully in charge next week folks!!!

A reliable source of an interesting afternoon read.

Then 3 months after release we’re gonna get the 10,000 word Jason Schreier article on how this is the moment when the game was, more or less, started over from scratch.

I somehow got sucked back into Red Dead Online. Like, it’s not even that great, it’s just okay (online, that is; I think single player is incredible). But I kind of love it anyway. I think it’s just the world itself, riding around on a horse, having only rudimentary weapons (compared modern shooters, at least), having…

12 harsh floors of the final dungeon and a cheesed out win on the final boss, I’ve got Final Fantasy IV done and moved on to V. Everyone seems to like taking these crystals for granted, considering how vital they are to keeping literally everything alive.

The one used for that header picture was really good.

I thought it was a photo until I read the headline again and saw Tuxedo Mask standing on the roof. 

Hey!  You have a face!

I was vaguely aware of this game, but I didn’t realize it was Platinum, and I didn’t realize it was full of extra stuff like this. Color me interested!

That is pink

Oof, zero men’s sizing. No men can like Sailor Moon.
