Nvidia have always been assholes.  I don’t envy anyone who has to work ‘with’ them.

EVGA makes other products and doesn’t make money on the GPUs, so this is not really ‘suicide’.  It’s just getting out of an abusive relationship.

Digging up Kiryu as your protagonist again (instead of as just a cameo like LaD) means you’re lost and don’t have any idea what you’re doing so you’re just blindly going back to what worked in the past.

This game was entirely in bad faith. It’s just utterly disgusting that they charged full price for it up front with ‘yeah, it’s ugly janky shit, but all the good stuff is coming later, why not buy some microtransactions for now, trust us?’ You can’t have ‘games as a service’ without even providing any service…

Warface.

GoT wasn’t nothing but Honor (though Honor was the most important thing), it was just very low on humor except for the shady alcohol dealer, and there wasn’t a lot of effort into exploring the life of the peasants except as victims. AC: Red could go further into both of those.

Yeah, Yakuza has a ton of humor (good and bad) and is not afraid at all to wallow in sleaze. But at the end of the Kart Race, the plots are all still about Men Being Stupidly Manly Because Honor.

The modern day stuff was a nice idea, but it was just so terribly done that I couldn’t care about it, and being broken out of ancient Egypt or Italy always just felt like a chore you had to slog through to get to the next fun part.

Japanese gamers liked GoT. A lot. And it’s very similar in theme to many samurai video games Japanese have made, like Bushido Blade or Way of the Samurai. Even Japanese portray old timey Japanese as completely obsessed with honor (and then the modern form of that is the Yakuza games)! So this seems like some extreme…

Of course Blizzard isn’t going to outright ban a group of players who are outspending most of the other players - even if you got the discounted orbs from a reseller, Blizzard still got the money for them being bought in the first place with stolen credit cards. They’re expecting that ‘Shia’ will do what it takes…

SIGH, I guess I’ll download all of Valhalla AGAIN for the fifth(?) time.

Goofy is a dog (who owns a more doggy dog).  His original name was even Dippy Dawg.

I have to say the scrapping of The Global Dream (II) is very appropriate for 2022.

I find it hard to believe that AC: Japan will be better than Ghost of Tsushima, which was already AC: Japan.

[The CEO] Konig denies this, saying “Tax money was not used to invest in crypto, to my knowledge. I never had access to the company financials”.

While one can assume playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in Japanese replaces exclamations like “bloody hell” with some deep-throated four-letter words

I think it’s just because they’re both extremely generic. I’ve seen all these mechanisms before and they both look like Assassin’s Creed games.

Paying your workers is NOT how web3 works, sir!
