Oof, that sucks. I don’t think this had anything to do with studios telling them anything about their games though. A big part of the Embracer situation is that they thought the crown prince of Saudi Arabia was going to hand them $2 Billion without having any sort of contract or anything tangible at all in place, so…

“crocodile tears”
I hate that term. Crocodiles are beautiful creatures, these people on the other hand are a disgusting virus.

Who could have possibly seen this coming!? Expanding at an unprecedented rate has never gone poorly ever, especially when you don’t even have the funds in hand to do so. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!

“Kotaku in 1 year: Untold Worlds, ill-fated studio founded by Mass Effect ex-dev, shuts down only a year after opening. By “Kotaku Staff”. Comments disabled”

FTFY, sadly. Hoping I’m wrong...

“production director on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf”

I know that indie has essentially lost all meaning at this point, but I really don’t think that being owned by the second largest gaming umbrella corp in China qualifies...

It was like $40 on sale, but not the point, I fully plan to go back, just haven’t been in a hurry, between that, Baulder’s Gate 3, still working on the Dead Space Remake which I also picked up on sale along with The Quarry which I haven’t started yet, bought the Star Ocean 2 Remake at launch to support that, Starfield…

As far as I can tell Lies of P released to fairly decent critical reception. I’d say that rebalancing a game after its release because it wasn’t quite up to snuff in the first place just says that they’re more inexperienced, but still give a shit about the quality and gameplay experience. If they didn’t care, then no…

That’s reassuring, like I said I haven’t made it very far yet, but between that and Leon’s quip about billing him, in the middle of what is supposed to be an intense and harrowing village battle, made it seem like quite the opposite, but that’s a pretty limited sampling. As for the hair/face thing, something about it…

“until I can find some decent mods to change his hair/face”

I’ve played the original RE4 and I’ve played the RE2 Remake, I know what the gameplay is, I’d rather just do it not completely annoyed by the character I’m playing as, especially when the writing already seems to have turned the cheese up to 11.

Queens of the Stone Roses 21 Temple Pilots Age

Idk, I loaded up RE4Re to immediately hear Leon, with his stupid new Chad face and hair, make a quip about the two guys roasting marshmallows and insta-groaned. In the original he mentions singing kumbaya around a bonfire, which alluded to what would happen, but roasting marshmallows just felt like smacking the nail…

Omg, that’s freakin charming, and I absolutely adore the strike cat, but that narrator(?) made me feel like I was having a stroke at first. Turned on the CC to find “There’s aqua. Wait Oh. Meshwa,” and was a little relieved.

Puzzles are for nerds.

I’m not serious, but I could absolutely see Geoff Keighley saying something like that.

This isn’t the Olympics, this is a highschool prom for video games, nothing is earned, it’s just a popularity contest.

You’re absolutely right, and Qjoy was stating an opinion while InfernoRFU actually pointed out an accurate fact, so in this case popularity and veracity coincided.

I find this particularly agreeable for some reason...

“Like sheesh, people, you aren’t even losing anything of value. There are other crappy shooters to play.”

Made it seem like that’s what you were saying, but I see what you’re saying. With all that said, that makes your comment all the more bizarre my friend, but at least you live up to your name. I’ve seen plenty of it…

If somebody else were saying it about Tifa then sure, but Tifa actually has a fairly modest personality, I don’t know that she would talk about herself like that.
