Good, about time US corpos realize they can't do whatever they want on our soils.

FO76: 13M sales IS niche out of a hundred million console gamers, especially in a pseudo-genre that is much derided (Live Service).

Yes... Star Wars becoming an incoherent mess. /S

Neo Noir in Andor? And 1975? More like music from “early 80s” with chromatic aberration from what people think were characteristic of “ ’80s” Blockbusters, 20-30 years later. The anachronism of future retroism or retro futurism?

You may want to look up how old the voice actors for Bart and Lisa Simpson were, when they got hired, and then add 30+ years for today's ages.

Really, all they need to do is hire a separate person to be the face/body model, though the body dimensions should closely match the person doing mocap for the character (I suppose the face, too)... if aged looks are a concern. Capcom does this all the time in games using the RE Engine, whenever they hire pretty or…

Reviews? I don’t even look at those until launch day, minimum. But I guess they're not really the topic here, anyway.

Downtime? At work? You mean lunch break? Lol /s

Yep 

Oh cool, a third-party niche exclusive. Those tend to be tragically interesting.

Let’s see if we hear more, soon?

I was wondering why I didn't like the OST nearly as much as its predecessor.

Also, as an addendum to my last comment - which I can’t be bothered to find - both the recounting and the recollection of histories are skewed. Trying to be historically accurate is folly - better to be precise (consistent), but a fantastical setting does not have to conform to history... At all.

Yeah, but not only were there pockets of people “of colour” (notice the spelling at various stages of Europe’s ~5000 year development, but Europeans and non-European Caucasian folks made their way - in one way or another - to other continents long before they planted flags on the ‘Murican continents. According to…

Maybe you should try gaming in a country or geographical region where the proverbial pipeline for it is weak (like northern coastal countries of South America not having support for, say, Xbox services) before you speak about what is a pain in the ass.

You cannot speak to what is widespread without formal research.

Had it from the beginning.

Apples and Oranges have NEVER been a good analogy, but I take your point, though it’s not particularly strong. Literary atmospherics and themes have less bearing on the formatting choices Remedy took to showcase the filmed & FMV CGI cutscenes in the game — though it’s truer indeed from the narrative (lore)…

Did you ever consider that they don't like the joke, and have had previous issues with jackass co-workers that'll perpetually need to be called out?

Not an RPG....?
