I’d say this could’ve been a really great opportunity for a Disco Elysium/Bethesda type experience where you can choose your moral alignment, but realistically the evil path would be such an easy mode that the game would practically play itself, and the good path would still be pretty easy

As someone who ordered a beanbag chair from Amazon which then required an additional $40 of foam filling to keep my ass from touching the floor when I sat in it, this does not surprise me in the least.

The first indie console games were made by Activision in 1980 for the Atari 2600. Wild how all that ended up playing out.

The idea of SNL “killing” anything is by far the biggest error

It’s a way for companies to not have to sell hardware at a loss or have to spend any money on repairs or returns (see also the reason Apple keeps removing buttons and other parts) but there’s no reason why any of us consumers should give a damn about that because none of the savings will be passed along to us, but all…

This reminds me of back when Fallout New Vegas got a GOTY-style release called “Ultimate Edition” because it was such a buggy mess at launch that nobody would dare call it Game of the Year. Maybe someday everyone will become super enthusiastic about how Far Cry 6 was always the best Far Cry game.

I ran out of them just as I was getting started

Sure Moore’s Law is dead. Does that mean that it’s impossible to engineer a better card that costs the same as the previous generation did a couple of years ago? Hell no it doesn’t.

There’s relief on the horizon if people don’t buy these at these prices, that’s all it will take. But then again people probably shouldn’t buy the two year old 3070 at $500 either.

If a series can be rebooted once, then there is no reason it can’t be rebooted every 1-3 games. It works for Batman movies (most of the time)

Time travel gameplay elements confirmed

I wish Bungie would just make a side game that was a self-contained non-MMO FPS with splitscreen, call it whatever you want, call it Killzone Neo, I would buy a PS5 for that.

This has to be a case of Splatoon 2 having enough legs (tentacles?) to build hype over the past 5 years while still having people happy enough with the premise that they’ll gladly buy a new release (even if it doesn’t reinvent the wheel) just for the excuse to play more Splatoon. I have no idea how many people played…

I honestly quit because of desync issues that seemed to get even worse about halfway through season 2, as well as some conspiracy theories about teams being intentionally balanced to push players as close to a 50% win-loss ratio as possible. I’m no professional, but feeling like the game was a constant “you win some,…

The idea of a velocity sensitive keyboard definitely appeals to me as a musician, this would be great to hammer out beats on a flight or whatever

I’m willing to bet that if the Steam Deck was easy to just walk into a store and buy, and was a little cheaper, it would absolutely be an incentive for Nintendo to drop the Switch’s price. Hell I have a lot of Switch games and if my Switch ate it, I would just get a Steam Deck (if it was available) and get another…

I kind of shrugged off the previous generation (bought a gaming PC right before it began) and this one seems even less interesting. My best guess is that anyone who grew up with the Xbox/Gamecube onwards is just used to graphical jumps not being that high so their standards for differences between generations is…

Even though I think the average Justin Roiland thing is funnier than Borderlands writing, one of the defining things about Borderlands 2 for me was that it taught me that I could get sick of any writing if it was thrown at me relentlessly enough. Yes Handsome Jack was a good character for the first 1000 pages of…

To think, we might have been spared 20 years of SNL if this had gone forward earlier

I use VR for several hours a week and I’m under absolutely no impression that it’ll become mainstream anytime soon, and anyone working on this for Facebook has to know that. It’s probably nothing more than an ongoing diversion to delay antitrust regulation that should’ve already happened and hold the attention of…
