what a surprise that a company takes care of the rich shareholders first.

I would actually disagree, graphically the game is gorgeous, while the art style is somewhat cartoonish there is actually a LOT of detail at play. not to mention that everything in the outerwilds is being manipulated by the gravity and physics of every other planet to some degree and it’s clear there is a lot going on…

If he’s seriously reformed, I think he owes it to the country to be much more public about it. Explain his reasons and show that he understands why his previous positions were so awful. He wasn’t just some random conservative who saw the error of his ways, he was a white nationalist leader.

Your bolded part was what really struck me. “Anchored around optional cosmetic items” is a really bad way to try to assure a fan that the game won’t be shoving microtransactions down their throat.

FULLY agree.  The idea that "it's just cosmetics" makes it okay is bullshit.  Cosmetics and making your character look cool are a HUGE part of gameplay and motivation.  People spend ages playing the "fashion souls" subgame of From soft tabs, it's been joked about that the entire endgame of Warframe is making your…

“The game is huge and there will be tons of content after launch for all players. Paid content is built around optional cosmetic items and eventually full expansions.”

“We are committed to delivering an incredible breadth of content after launch, for years to come, anchored around optional cosmetic items and…

I say having an employee kill her self because of sexual harassments is bad for their public image. Or when blizzard supported China and had to back track.

blizzard is a rotten company and should be dismantled.

Its going to be nothing like Immortal.   Immortal is free 2 play.   Diablo IV is going to cost 70 dollars and still be chocked full of those microtransactions everyone loves!! :)

Considering that law enforcement did nothing for over an hour, I’m pretty sure future mass shooters know how to get around non-existent mitigation measures.

Ooooooof, give me a good solid 100 worlds with some real differences or whatever over 1000 worlds with 900 of them being basically the same with maybe a different shade of atmosphere....

Texas Department of Public Safety believes releasing body camera footage from the police response to the Uvalde shooting could allow future school shooters to find “weaknesses” for the future, according to a public records denial letter released Monday.

The coverup continues. We learned this during their ever changing stories during the press conferences at which point, they stopped giving press conferences. 

I can’t help but feel like with time Bethesdas open world games have gotten simultaneously more ambitious and less interesting. THOUSANDS OF PLANETS TO NOT CARE ABOUT, AND (from the look of things) THREE OR FOUR FACTIONS TO JOIN THAT WON’T MIND THAT YOU’RE ENTERING THE RIVAL FACTION EVEN THOUGH THAT MAKES NO SENSE.

This looks like Star Citizen if it were a game. I want to see more.

I was actually getting more of a Mass Effect-y 1-3 vibe myself.

I’ll probably grab this game anyways because I’m a sucker for Bathesda-style open worlds but... the preview kind of turned me off to Starfield. It just kind of looked drab and the “you see that pixel on a planet? You can go there” of it all just tells me most of the game is gonna be bland open space. Part of the fun…

Exactly, I am just hearing “We made a bigger haystack to hide some needles in”

More work on extraneous planets means less work on actual content.

Not to shit on the game (I am shitting on the game) but when I hear there is a mind bogglingly large amount of worlds to explore it tells me there is nothing interesting or distinctive to do on those worlds and you have made another procedurally generated loot grind.

Nope. Listen, I’ve loved Diablo from day 1, played Hellfire, used to wake up before school to grind for runes in D2, and enjoyed D3 post auction house, but there is no way in hell I’m downloading Immortal. Yeah, I could play for free, but number of downloads is still a metric Blizzard uses; number of “potential…
