It’s a pretty interesting term, though. Crocs are known to shed tears while eating, so way back in the BCE times it was a saying that crocodiles wept for their victims as they ate them. The saying basically called out people who privately wished harm on others but then publicly mourned for them after harm befell them…

Alan Wake 2 has A LOT of connections with Control so you will definitely enjoy it for those - the game is paying off foreshadowing that you had no idea was even happening (I mean that - part of one of AW2's big reveals was set up in the song Take Control). The deep lore is still there, but it’s much more focused on…

This is such a corporate apologist argument. “VIDEOGAMES WERE 60-70 IN THE 90S, THEY’RE UNDERPRICED NOW!!!” a HUGE part of that 60-70 in the 90s was for the actual physical cartridge that that game came on, manufacturing those things was a huge cost that went down quite a bit with the advent of disc-based games, and…

as it was confirmed in Andromeda she was in contact with the Initiative after their departure from the Milky Way.

Two heavy machine guns, two hearts, huge dude. Soooo Samoan Astartes with no power armor?

The live service model just... Kind of sucks. Eventually, you are going to run out of quality updates to make and the shtick is going to get old. Destiny 2 started to feel too much like homework for me after Foresaken.

Plus, there was just too many plot threads that don’t go anywhere. Dozens of mystery boxes without…

That honestly sounds like some out of touch COO said it in a board room because they didn’t expect so many people to be mad they gutted a beloved studio over live service projections.

If there wasn’t such a goddamn slog every season to power up Your gear again I might actually play occasionally. However the investment is so high, I stopped entirely.

I played mp, but was never that great and never tried ranked, until I found a good group that would help me learn to play better. Unlocked some nice guns only to have them sunset. Then they started taking away content that everyone paid for. Taking away activities each season. I just felt like I was giving them money…

They listen to almost no feedback, keep the same systems going because they are already baked-in and easy to update at low cost, then act flummoxed when players eventually bail.

Will admit, their player loss is slower, because the game is good at the heart of it. Makes players really really slow to ween off it,…

Indeed. Consolidations are almost never a sign of a strong, competitive, and healthy industry. They are, in fact, signs of an industry on the verge of spiraling into total collapse. It’s a sign that businesses have grown large enough to gobble up their respective markets and sit on them, blocking any new entrants or…

It’s almost wild to say it but if you want to play... let’s call it a “US Army FPS type game” on Xbox or PS5, there are very few options. That sounds sort of crazy considering how ubiquitous games like Call of Duty and Battlefield are in gaming, but if you really step back and think about it, that’s basically all…

if you knew anything about Layden’s career and how hard he championed for smaller niche and obscure import games, and especially fought for the PSP and Vita, you would not make such a characteristically inaccurate statement. If anything, Sony would be better served having him back and filling Jim Ryan’s shoes.

In the game proper, Shinra attempts to recruit Cid for the Tiny Bronco and the rocket, and they end up essentially hijacking the rocket until Cloud and the party intervene, then get stuck in the rocket thanks to the automatic launch. That’s not the same thing as Shinra succeeding in recruiting Cid or him actively…

As someone who loved this game to bits and was hoping for it to find a footing. Especially since it was the first of the 3 hero shooters that were announced around that time. (Gigantic, Overwatch and Battleborne)
But the game had a rocky development (they had to tell the staff that they don’t have money to keep…

It’s not slimy language. It’s just what it’s called in Europe. And the “consultation process” is required by law and involves negotiations before any layoffs are finalized. Please stop knee-jerkattacking things you don’t understand.

It’s so weird whenever I see any notable capitalist say they’re a fan of anything cyberpunk-related. Like, you know the genre is a criticism of you, right? You’re the bad guy. The genre’s raison d’être is to point out how the closest thing to true evil that exists in our world is unimaginably wealthy businessmen who…
