It’s more or less how I’ve felt playing it. Love the sound, then it has its moments....and then it sours. Alone in the Dark deserved a better treatment overall, but the auditory experience is something special imo.

I wish I had a time machine so I could go back one minute to before I saw this headline.

That’s alright I already don’t own any Ubisoft games anyway.

If you’re talking about that patent where the guy stands up and shouts “McDonald’s!” to end the ad, that was a Sony patent (IIRC)

The Xbox One was designed from the ground up to make publishers happy, not the consumer

“It combined a console, streaming device, and Blu-Ray player into the original all-in-one media player. But like Marty McFly rocking out to “Johnny B Goode” in Back to the Future, people weren’t quite ready for that. Yet.”

I see we are to the point now where it’s time to try to rewrite the history of the Xbone and make excuses for why it, once again, was a failure. At this point Microsoft has given up completely on even trying to learn from and correct any past mistakes, they’re not even trying at all anymore to attract new customers…

Nothing says “I have my finger on the pulse of the proletariat” like bitching about how hard it is to buy video games and stream movies online.

Christ Zack, what an insufferable baby you are.

I cannot stress enough that people should not watch this unless they have no interest at all in the game, but are curious what this thing is.

It looks like it was made for a 2028 article titled “Remembering Playstation Portal, Sony’s Crazy PS5 Accessory”.

They’re going to mess with the story and setting so much that it’ll become stupid. They’ve already started the process by giving things stupid names.

“Now Bloomberg reports that the game was rushed out in half the time of a normal Call of Duty sequel, with devs working nights and weekends to meet Activision’s annualized sales goals.”

It’s exactly this that has costed so many people jobs in the tech industry. The reckless pursuit of theoretical profits. Investors see the kind of money Apex and Fortnite are pulling in which must mean that same model will work anywhere. Pay no attention to the fact like a dozen live service games have already died…

An interesting thing about so many of the great titles this year: They’ve all been single player.  Baldur’s Gate 3, Phantom Liberty, Tears of the Kingdom, Spiderman 2, Starfield, RE4 Remake, Dead Space Remake, Mario Wonder, Armored Core VI, Lies of P.  Single player games have dominated gaming hype for most of this…

The chances of this being a good remake are about as high as the chances of Kojima going back to work at Konami.

“remain some of the most profound meditations on geopolitics, war, and the military industrial complex the medium has ever produced”

But we have to have a scene first where the short haired female lead is captured, strapped down to a table and begs for her life.

‘ “Especially the women” a frantic, sweaty David Cage shouted into the microphone before he could be wrestled away by PR. ‘
