Did I imagine this or were there rumblings going on a few years ago that Starfield was going to tie the Fallout and Elder Scrolls universes together, confirming that they take place in the same timeline?

The first two chapters/games have been stinkers for me, hopefully this turns out better but I’m going to wait a bit on it. 

I think it’s been pretty well documented that McEnroe is in an entirely different league than the tennis players who just throw hissy fits and walk off. Dude was a maniac.

I’m sure some have, you’re talking about sport with over a hundred years of history. It’s also far besides the point, the response was to the post which indicated that professional athletes face bans when walking off the court/field and they absolutely do not.

Part of that is the difference between a physical sport and e-sports. Physical sports players have familiarity with when and how to release aggression and even when things do boil over there is a physical relief when the fighting is done, endorphins kick in, and the emotions settle to where they can get some clarity.…

No, they wouldn’t. People walk off the court in basketball or walk to the locker room in football and nothing happens. The biggest basketball star just did it in a playoff game. The worst thing that happens is a fine if you don’t later show up to the post-game press conference. 

“173 hrs last two weeks”

I have a really weird relationship with the Wii U. I bought it as my first new console after graduating college and moving to a town where I knew nobody due to a job offer. I ended up severely depressed with feelings of isolation after a while, which was (sad at the time, but I can kind of laugh about it now) made…

The fact that you reposted it and didn’t wonder why it can’t just be a demo, no time limit, no splitting the time limit into further segments for 2 of the 7+ platforms at different dates, is kind of surprising.

REmake and RE 0, then another RE7 run next week to prepare for VIIIage

Can they just release a demo? Why does it keep getting more and more complex? Also I feel like Mercenaries is going to conflict with the potential player base for RE:Verse but maybe not.

They’re using Denuvo, which is certainly crackable but likely by the time it is cracked the full game will be out. 

I refunded the game after 2 hours. I expect a certain amount of jank and poor quality with Arkham games, but it was too much for me. There were so many aspects where I felt the poor experience was due to a bad decision by the developer rather than a budget limitation, I just don’t get what they were thinking with this…

not quite...

Currently developing games yes, that did not extend to future games.

I’m not aware of many arguments, even from Valve fanboys, that claim that Epic buying exclusives is different than Sony or Microsoft buying exclusives. In fact, that is part of the argument - that Epic is bringing the previously-mostly-console-associated act of exclusivity to PC. And that since this is something Valve…

And now smaller companies, or hell even large ones, that may have had some solid ideas about how to improve cloud gaming tech and bring it to the masses will think twice about doing so. 

They have a proven track record at this point. Even with their first product what they were promising wasn’t snake oil. The price reflected the quality as well from the get-go, these things aren’t cheap.

I mean plenty of years have 2 games that provided 150+ hours of gameplay. 2017 is very top-heavy, and it’s hard to really try to argue this as I enjoyed every single game you listed for that year, but ‘04 and ‘07 still top it for me overall. The deeper cuts in those years beat out some of the upper tier 2017 games for…

Is*. There is* a pandemic. And there’s nothing about “need” here, it’s simply a statement.
