Probably forgot it because it wasn’t originally an option. They added it in the extended cut. Originally there were in fact three choices and no option to deny them. Shepard had to pick one to finish the game.

I don’t know about Russian leaks, but the original planned story by the people in charge of ME1 involved dark matter being a threat to life that the Reapers were designed to control. I forget the specifics, but a lot of the team changed in the transition to EA and that original idea was ultimately abandoned in favor…

The $70k price tag is for exclusivity.

I never hated Anthem, really. It was fine. The acting and mocap were good, but the story itself wasn’t. The flying felt good, but the gunplay didn’t. The core gameplay loop was something I could spend an hour or two a day jumping into, but there wasn’t really any reason to. It felt like the last gasp of a talented…

Xbox is restricted to BD-50 discs. PS5 can use BD-100s, so an Xbox would need double the discs to match.

It’s because Xbox still uses BD-50 while PS5 can use BD-66 or -100. The number indicates the amount of GB on the disc.

I’m always a fan of more people playing games. Exclusivity is an anti-consumer practice and I’d love Playstation fans to get the games I play on the console they want.

Stellar Blade launches on April 26 for PC and will eventually come to PC.

I find the reflex against romance in the comments interesting, and I wonder if it’s because games have leaned too hard into it following initial success.

If you think that the game isn’t finished right now but will be in three days, I’m not sure you’re really qualified to give an expert opinion on the subject.

I love Gears 3 so much, yet I also think nostalgia goggles blind us a bit.

My old roommate was also an avid TF2 player and we compared the two all the time.

No.

So, I see one major problem with this change but it mainly affects lower level players.

I’ll admit it can really tilt me when I’m playing support and there’s a tank/DPS consistently blaming support when they falter.

I mean, it worked for Fire Emblem. After they added casual mode, which removes essentially all actual difficulty from the game and lets you just focus on supports and story, its audience grew to the point that now it has a mobile game on year eight and still going strong.

Any GTA or GTA-like sandbox game. I start them up and then ask, “Now what?” every time.

Huh. For some reason the image I attached isn’t showing. Thanks Kinja.

There’s something warmly funny about being talked down to by someone who writes, “then your the idiot who doesn’t know how to read.”

Oh yeah, let me just pay for a lawyer to take on a huge company. Easy peasy.
