those Gamers really know how to stick it to the Woman hey

lol at that last article. A consumer... revolt. “Consumer revolt”. Did the consumers stop consuming? It seemed they mostly just harassed, doxxed and threatened women on social while continuing to fork over money for whatever videogames they wanted whenever they wanted, whenever the market brought them out (often…

considering most people (read: me, and, I presume, most everyone else) only play Paradox games once in a blue moon, mostly when they want to escape real life for a bit, sinking themselves into a campaign they spend highly inadvisable amounts of time on per day, their nation/dynasty/space empire eventually hitting its…

I feel like it’s important to note that, rather than undermining the scene, the lack of real agency is the point: it’s commenting on how military shooters are always on rails, how little conscious engagement is involved in playing them, how their tropes condition players to accept things like “the AC-130 section” as…

cheers ^^

playing ME3 was so weird. The beginning was awful, the ending fell flat, and everything in between was absolutely top notch Mass Effect. It made a horrible first impression and left a bad taste in your mouth, and yet it was a great game for 95% of its runtime. I’ve not seen anything like that in media before or since

I vividly remember the moment my interest in Anthem evaporated forever, at the point in the first gameplay demo they released, where they get into combat, and it was just another shooter with bullet sponge enemies

dril has a very hard style to channel lol

gamers not understanding that publishers =/= development studios AND that development studios =/= certain people and teams drives me absolutely fkin crazy

I guess “People ... have arrested a 23-year-old man” is technically correct, seeing as the police in Japan are also people

Cameron and his pale band of robber barons masquerading as politicians used fear of change and the welcome stability of the status quo (including firm and favourable EU membership) to just barely scrape a win in the Scottish independence referendum. Cameron, like Johnson, is a lazy, improvising product of eye watering…

I hope Nintendo will be/has been giving raises and bonuses to its workers generously then

nice I had most of these but you let me complete my why I shouldn’t buy a GPU right now even though I desperately want to bingo card. Damn you

well it would be a very different team of people who just happen to be employed by Obsidian today who would be envisioning and making the game, so I honestly don’t really care. New Vegas and KotOR 2 are two of my all time favourites so I know how you feel, but the chances of getting something in that vein in those IPs…

so, what is going on with the EA exclusive AAA Star Wars videogame production licence thing? Quick google shows they have two and a bit years left on the deal so I imagine renegotiation is in tentative early stages right now. I don’t pretend to be in touch with industry exec ways of thinking but it seems to me EA’s…

Yeah if the article was titled “7 PS4 Horror Exclusives That I Hope Get PS5 Sequels” I would feel the same

jesus christ, the comment you’re replying to literally mentions “plus sized characters” and you type out all this?

the story also dropped off a cliff about halfway through and they got away with that because reviews were shaped by the amazing first 20 hours or so with it. They deprioritised the single player, story-driven side before the game even released and it didn’t show up one bit, neither in review metrics nor in sales

ha, I remember people praising Sega at the time for taking the risk
