The question really should be, are the hours you are spending doing all that “content” quality hours?

I don’t mind it being a more major place for stuff around ANH simply because Jabba clearly had a huge amount of influence with the Hutts, and it was his seat of power, and that alone should have ensured it was more major than an actual backwater like eg Dagobah which was truly remote.

Do bear in mind that CoD2 had no PS release because the PS3 wasn’t out, it was primarily a PC game with an Xbox 360 port at that system’s launch, and by the time the PS3 released a year later, they were on to CoD3. Big Red One was the previous gen console CoD for 2005, and it was across all three previous-gen…

As long as they are in distant third place behind Nintendo and Sony, this won’t be the case. The only time it would make sense to cut exclusives off is when you are in a dominant market position and don’t want to allow your competitor a leg up. Sony is so far ahead of Microsoft this generation that the dynamic will…

That huge stable of older Activision games will end up on Game Pass too, remember that Game Pass is on PC and that the XSX has pretty decent backward compatibility. It’s not going to just be the last couple years releases - which is what we probably would have gotten best-case on Game Pass without the acquisition as…

A game with Zelda as the *antagonist* would be pretty interesting.

They wasted so much time on Nintendo because Nintendo not being part of the games market was the whole crux of the FTC’s foreclosure argument, to even begin to make that approach work they needed the market to be defined as a two-player race between Microsoft and Sony only.

It is how it works. These things only go to court after an investigation is done to decide whether it will be a problem. If they can’t find a legal argument for blocking it, they don’t go to court.

I’m really hopeful that FF17 takes the combat of 16 and the playable party members, more customization options etc of FF7R and finds a happy medium between the two. I don’t think there’s enough room in a FF16 DLC to fundamentally change up things, it’s going to have to be in the next game (which I hope doesn’t take…

Futhermore, the American regulator putting the stops on two American companies trying to merge to better compete against a Foreign-owned market leader is just not a good look.

Yeah, I’m all for a stronger FTC that has the teeth to actually go after antitrust cases and so on, but this was not an example of a case they should have fought, the way they went about it looked like amateur hour. Don’t pick a fight with a giant unless you know you can win it. All it’s managed to do is make them…

This has to be really underlined. Yoshida is a very good producer with a proven track record of running a really tight ship and delivering on time and on budget.

Fate of Atlantis is absolutely the 4th movie they should have made instead of the movies they actually did make.

I bought a Legend of Zelda game for the Legend of Zelda bits and wanted to spend more time doing the Legend of Zelda bits?

I guess I just don’t play that way. The game is aggressively sandboxed, doesn’t put things on the map, have a proper journal with items to tick off etc. or anything really, which already makes it harder for me to get into because I am extremely goal-oriented. So what I end up doing is setting mini-goals, basically…

I bought the game for all the other stuff in it. Not for grinding resources. Read initial post. Tears of the Kingdom is not a resource grinding simulator.

I know how the Dragons work. They are often not in accessible areas. You have to wait for them to be in the right area of their circuit to be practically reachable, and then get over to them. Given how slowly they circle, that’s a tremendous pain.

Duping doesn’t really reduce the mechanical difficulty of the game or anything, all it is doing is sidestepping the need to spend hours farming the game for those materials because the developer made them far too scarce, and assumed you would spend hours upon hours just grinding mindlessly. But that is by far the…

“improve the gameplay experience” by taking away the thing people used to improve the gameplay experience. I wonder if it has occurred to Nintendo to look into *why* people used a lot of these glitches? Personally I used it to make the game much more fun by not having to worry about spending dozens of hours doing…

If the launch had gone smoothly then yeah, this would be the midpoint of the cycle and time for refreshed hardware. But the supply chains are only just now coming back to normal after the pandemic, I doubt they could manufacture enough to launch a new SKU, and it seems too early in general, the existing hardware…
