The hypocrisy is pretty amusing. Sony spent millions over the last generation in order to deprive Xbox owners of content. Before that, MS spent millions to deprive Playstation owners of content. Ultimately, both companies are guilty of using anti-competitive (in the logical, if not legal, sense of the word) practices…

He even manage to turn the game addiction to something positive and to be shared to everyone 

Some writers just jump off the page. Some because of the beauty of their prose, some for the amazing thought that went into crafting a world for the reader, but they all make you FEEL something.

No way, I have an absolutely killer PC and would still prefer to do my recreational gaming on my Xbox (or other console) 100% of the time. I sit at this PC, in my office, for at least 40 hours a week. I just do not want to engage with it when I’m off the clock. I thought wiring an HDMI through the wall, so I could…

Considering the prelevance of day one patches, I take talk of bugs in prerelease review samples of games with a grain of salt. These are obviously not the retail version, just very close, so some of the bugs being reported would likely be fixed with a day one patch.  That said, with ANY open world game like this, or…

That’s unfortunate. I feel like it’s been a while since the last great gta-like and I was kinda hoping this could’ve been it. Still almost tempting just to explore the city.

But only the PC version? Because RTCW has several different version with entirely different progression systems (and in the case of the consoles an additional set of prologue missions that explains who Agent One is).

Which is probably for the best considering Saints Row IV and its stand-alone expansion Saints Row: Gat out of Hell had the former-street-gang-turned-political-influencers face off against aliens in an Avengers: Endgame-type misadventure

And there’s fucking Terminators in Breakpoint.

It's easy to ignore or even understand the problems with political overtones in games like Ghost Recon and still enjoy the game. Is the story dumb, painting an inaccurate picture of a foreign country, and serving as equal parts US propaganda and wet dream? Yes, yes, and yes. But fuck it. I don't let videogames inform…

I think what he meant is that most players don’t really care about the political undertones (or overtones) in games. The fact that Wildlands takes place specifically in Bolivia is irrelevant to most players. You could replace Bolivia with [imaginary country inspired by any south american country] and nobody would bat…

I guess we all know now that you’ll be playing as a darkside character.

This seems like an overreaction. 

Who’d have thought that having a development studio where just about everything they’ve done is port related with extremely limited experience with original content handle the “from scratch” remake to one of the most beloved RPGs of all-time would’ve been a bad idea.

The important thing is you got to feel smug.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The Last of Us, as a game, was very mediocre. Kind of janky, sometimes thrilling, a lot of times just frustrating. Case in point: The game forcing you to use a controller (since I played on a PS4) to accurately shoot zombies while hanging upside-down. Theoretically, a tense…

I’m not angry. I’m wryly amused at the executive of a company known for mistreating its workers using a project that is an entirely known quantity from the beginning as a disingenuous example of supposed improved working conditions as though that’s not an intentionally misleading apples/oranges comparison.

My favorite part of this whole deal is ND crowing about how this game was made “without crunch.”

Anthem was by no means what is was hyped up to be, but at its core it wasn’t complete dog shit. I think once the stigma gets out there and it seems like everyone is shitting on a game (because everyone was, same with Cyberpunk 2077), then it just becomes universally regarded as a dud.

I personally believe it’s definitely worth one cent. The foundation and gameplay were all there, Bioware just needed to follow through. The flight and feeling like an OP Iron Man at times felt really fun. I really wish they went through with the overhaul they were planning - I might have come back for that.
