Ugh, this article just made me realize Arkane games will almost certainly be Xbox exclusive. I mean, it was obvious, but I didn't really think about it until now. *sigh*

Pokemon Unite has the same problem. It's very annoying and doesn't motivate me to play at all. 

I agree with the article, but the overuse of “woke” and “progressive” makes this seem like it’s some covert conservative screed lol. I know you specified otherwise, and knowing your writing I knew that wasn't your point, but people who don't do a close reading could easily misunderstand.

Yeah Arabic text looks real generic, Arabic is actually how Sledgehammer communicates in-studio

Oh wow

I hate playing games in landscape, so this works just fine for me lol. 

At this point, ignorance of the second biggest religion in the world is at *best* intentionally ignorant. Doesn’t need to be actively hateful to be Islamophobic.

That’s kind of like saying you don’t need to go to movie theaters because you can watch the same movies on HBO Max

I mean

Uhhh battlefield earth has a 3% on RT, not 89% lol

It’s worth noting that we don't know any of the numbers, so these nerfs might not amount to much (like the Lucario nerfs last patch). But fingers crossed!

Ooh, liking the Bloodborne vibes

Jesus, that's a good subhead

This is tragic. He wasn’t just talented, he was also incredibly wholesome and kind. Here’s a letter he wrote to his future teammate.

I’ve noticed the same at a lot of GO sites. Missing links, captions without images, more typos than usual...

Lots of people can’t reserve 2 hours for gaming. And even if a run is short, urgent things come up all the time—there’s really no excuse for forcing players to leave their PS5 on that circumstance. I thought we'd moved past that more than a decade ago!

Alternatively, things come up and people won't always have enough time to complete a full run. 🤷🏽‍♂️

See, I prefer to play more stealthily and I do a lot of exploring, so I’m in each area for an hour (or more, depending on how many leads I want to follow). It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even bother picking it up unless I know I have an hour+ available.

Like I said, I’m not talking about the implementation, just the concept. The devs were acting as though saving was totally incompatible with Returnal's design, when games have been using quick/temporary saves for decades.
