You can’t tell me he’s not imagining the seat is his face.

Apple’s not going to let any game app into the App Store where they don’t get 30% of every single game purchase. Yes, it’s just remote screen, no that won’t fly with Apple.

I am suddenly reminded of just how many bad Peanuts specials there were.

Each time I’m amused by Cage’s quixotic quest to prove that video games can be better movies than movies - by continuing to make cinematic video games that are inferior to both movies and other video games. Even new God of War did it better, for christ’s sake.

To add to the list of things that cover this topic far better than David Cage possibly could, there’s the TV series Humans which does everything Cage is (maybe?) trying to accomplish here and more, and it’s well written by a non-crazy person. Oh, and no f#$ing QTEs.

Oh man, I always looked forward to your deeply personal gameplaying essays. Sometimes it was something I knew about so it was great to get another look at it from someone who can express their feels well . Sometimes it was something that wasn’t my interest, well all right. Sometimes it wasn’t my interest but you made…

Tencent is Chinese govt though. You could make the point that the whole country is one frickin’ gigantic rapacious ubercorporation, I guess.

I would happily play this all over again on the PC. It was a great, fun game, which I blame for misleading me into thinking the XB1 would be the home of creative exclusives. But I can’t blame it for that.

The other GoW games were like that too. It’s a good game that you buy, you play, and move on. Old school. No months of mediocre DLC, no crap gated off with endless grinding, no online deathmatch (or battle royale), no concerted effort to try to coerce you into continuing to engage with the game so they can sell you…

‘Would not recognize keycard in or on the console and hence would not go into gear. It did, however, unlock the car. Workaround was to force quit the app and restart the app. Then it would allow the choice of Drive or Reverse.’

This shows they’re not even going to bother to port it to Switch, which is a much more lucrative audience. Eventually they might get an intern to do it... but it’s not promising.

It certainly does. This is for if you only use your Switch at home, have a fast/unlimited/low latency connection, and have no other consoles or a gaming PC. It’s very much a second class experience for when you have no other options.

Sure, this is great if you only play Switch at home, your internet is unlimited fast low latency, you don’t have any other consoles or a gaming PC, and you believe Capcom couldn’t possibly port it. In that case it’s better than nothing.

That’s more doable... but then all the DLC!

Oh Jesus. I guess it’s a good thing for Switch players who only play at home if Capcom won’t bother to port it, but this seems like a really bad precedent for the day when you can no longer play a lot of games at all on your console, just stream them. Because it’s a f@#4ing dream for the publishers, no piracy, no…

Ugh - I like the first game, hear the second is better, but am afraid to start playing till I know I can commit 80+ hours. Not helping!

Oh boy, I get to give a speech at the Big Boy stand again!

Ladders were generally a bigger threat to my survival than the zombies, as wonky controls sent me plummeting to the ground as I tried to descend.

I didn’t think the ‘Atreus the Powerdrunk Little Shit’ plotline was resolved all that well, but it’s about my only complaint about the game. It starts well - he eases into it over couple hours. But then Baldur beats him up after he’s peak stupid and suddenly he’s a little angel again. I’d have liked him to have had…

I hope you were playing new God of War right after release, because that was delivering your patches in spades. One a day! Sometimes twice a day!
