It’s been to Microsofts benefit that that quiet part has stayed quiet. They’re not really interested in pursuing a console war if they can use content to push people into a new Microsoft Gamepass ecosystem via phone, pc, or tv (they’ve talked before about baking it into new tvs so that all you need for streaming games …

Seriously.

What’s with the semen obsession? It was borderline the first time and Ethan just kept it rolling.

I like my purple plates lol, I kept hoping they’d roll out a good green or that cobalt blue from the ps4 controllers, but birthday rolled around and I jokingly said just get me those.

I dunno, I'd heard that the PS5 version was about the same, the disc install covers tutorial and level one as I understood it- the rest of the game has to be downloaded in the day one patch.

And for our daily reminder that mixing art with ai is dangerous lol.

I don’t understand how he thinks he’s justified trying to refund the purchases because he can’t pubstomp anymore now that he’s blown the MM system apart with his whale ass.

Heh. Video games are only art until the internets jimmies get rustled.

Oh no question about the crunch thing, definitely not exclusive to BW and I genuinely wasn’t trying to imply it was. Though now that I think about it, I find a sad comedy in actual fucking MD Doctors running a studio in a manner that was known to be harmful to people.

It’s absolutely worth checking out. Anthem screwed up a ton, but the moment to moment gameplay was friggin great. Love my Colossus, and the Storm is huge fun - rains destruction down in real-time the way Destiny Guardians do in cutscenes or lore.

The BW Canadian (i cant remember if it was Montreal or Edmonton?) Anthem team listening to BW Austin in the first place instead of shipping busted and tossing it to them would’ve gone a long way towards fixing systemic problems

I feel like it should bear mention that based on multiple accounts that the crunch culture at BioWare predated EA. Shit, look up “BioWare magic” for any number of accounts by employees of times when they accomplished most of a game in the last six months before going gold.

Do you want Sharon Apple? Because that’s how you get Sharon Apple.

I’d need to dig around in my semi-recent app history to find other scumfuckery, but the multiple sub thing isn’t new to DibMortal.

Rare. Totes hands off there right? Just years of avatar utems, kinect shit, and God knows what else before Sea of Thieves.

It’s different because it’s an IP they’ve invested in emotionally for a long time. This is the exact same tantrum we saw when EA applied the FUT/MUT pack model to Battlefront 2. The ‘internet’ at large didn’t give two shits about EAs scummy shit (beyond the usual memeing and voting them worst company ever) until the…

Honestly not sure how this feels in light of the fact that the studio that fixed ugly Sonic got shitcanned shortly after the Sonic movie made a sizable pile of money.

Start reading, what new bullshit is this? Of course someone from Arizona wants a recount, I mean refund, when they don't get the result they want. Bonus points for using the good old "but the children" excuse.

To quote one of my favorite games in existence “...time flows like a river...and history repeats.” All this nft/crypto shit was flogged like beanie babies, comics, or tulips, and like everything else- lost value when people decided they were done.

I’d rather see TVHM/UVHM skipped and straight to Mayhem tiers. Just feels like they would work better overall without forced campaign replays.
