“’Luckily I have other mods for other games,’ said Ross, “So my supporters won’t be left stranded, but it would be such a shame since every day new RDR2 fans come to my Patreon to experience the game ‘from the inside.’”

True to an extent, but the PS2 version wasn’t the one that was ported: it was the PS4 version, if I remember right. I’ve heard that the code for Kingdom Hearts on the PS2 was outright lost, so the cobbled together version they got from the retail version simply may not be possible to run, and just selling Kingdom…

This would be closer to Texas making all the official language functions in German, because the German immigrants had a strong presence there in the past.

I would not bet on that being the case in every country, and maybe not even Singapore, where the company is apparently located. Many countries take a dim view on uncompensated labor, and I imagine it would be very awkward if some court said, “they made this translation, and you didn’t pay them for it, so now you have…

1. If you play Fallout 3, you should probably do it through Tale of Two Wastelands, which meshes it together with the better mechanics (and mods) of Fallout New Vegas.

Yeah, almost all of it definitely felt like, “Product: The Video Game.”

I made this, just for you. Pokemon trailer vs. Skyblivion trailer.

Origins bored me within an hour, and I never went back: it just felt like an inferior version of Shadows of Mordor.

Nah, it always felt silly that everyone just goes home after the host dies instead of getting to try again. Winning a fight with bad players instead of gambling for better ones has a rewarding feeling all its own, I feel.

And they’re wrong: Nintendo created a massive emulator market by accident, Apple is currently facing Antitrust charges in the EU, and is still in a legal battle with Epic (who just filed a 136 page appeal,) and Costco hardly has dominate products.

Ah, Xianxia: every good Xianxia novel is good in its own unique way, and every bad one exists because the writer thinks they weren’t popular in high school because they weren’t powerful enough to ruthlessly murder some bullies.

Weird as it might seem, the fantasy elements help make it ‘feel’ more realistic: no matter how powerful your character becomes, the head of those megacorps is still a LITERAL dragon, and thus always an enemy you must respect to best. Ecological damage doesn’t just give you cancer that will kill you in three decades,…

In whatever can be passed as fairness to EA, they’re probably looking mostly for a way to get cheaper licensing deals; probably the best way for them to make more money, since they certainly can’t make something like Elden Ring.

Mortal Kombat did it’s guest characters amazingly well: Robocop and Rambo may have no business fighting gods, but they still keep to their themes and their history in their pre-fight banter, which makes them more than some cash grab cameo.

“Even when people did get moved to full-time, it wasn’t always a big jump in pay, and sometimes still felt uncompetitive with local rivals.”

It’s a problem of design. The first 30 minutes show you five different things:

The Carian Grandeur change might be big: it could already almost max out for a follow up hit after stabbing someone in the back, so increased speed and damage might let you absolutely wreck tougher enemies. Not a PvP weapon skill still, but the Carian knight sword was never more than a lighter backup weapon for mages…

Yeah! Consider:

Accord is the new easy mode.

Okay, I’ll bite: why does Gostoc have this unique ability?
