Capital G gamers: "Spam is good if the video game companies says its good!"

This is an understarred comment

“Remove from cart” * 200,000.

They designed one fucking game in a distant past and have been reskinning it for years.

My least favorite part of the Ubisoft formula is all the sexual harassment.

Feel like that’s kind of a big detail to leave out in a review. I’m assuming it was omitted b/c ppl are dubious of mobile-to-console ports? Did I miss it? I re-read the review and only saw how it pays homage to Octopath and BD2, which now makes less sense seeing how it predates both. Maybe it pays homage to Lost…

Well it IS a reworked mobile game, Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey from 2015. Came out 3 years before Octopath too.  Zodiac was abandoned and incomplete, while Astria has been reworked, more content added, and the story has been changed

“Think of the jobs” isn’t really an argument, because by that logic it’s unethical to not buy every game.

Awesome, a studio that has never done an action game and is famous for its writing, which sucks. And had a big workplace harassment scandal a few years back. Why the fuck would you let them take this property on?

“Don’t punish the devs” is a poor excuse since we make the choice NOT to buy THOUSANDS of games a year, and opting not to support a publisher with a history of heinous abuse shouldn’t be like navigating a minefield. There are THOUSANDS of good games out there that are also worth your time and interest that aren’t…

I really have a problem with this line of thinking because it’s almost rationalizing toxic abuse as “just a side affect of supporting developers!” And I think, in a way, that’s gross.

I can’t seem to find a clip of Steve Martin introducing him as “Stingy” on SNL, but I still always read Sting’s name in that voice/pronunciation.

Maneater is now one less game on my ever-growing backlog/wishlist. Thanks for lightening my load, John!

Awesome! I love when people with shitty attitudes open their mouths and make it easy for me to know not to support their business!

the point is normalizing the $69.99 price point. nothing else than “we want an extra $10 from you chucklefucks to line our CEO/Shareholder’s pockets, we know you will pay it, and we know some of you will even DEFEND it saying it will trickle down to our abused and ununionized staff.”

Honestly, I’m not even sure what they’d do for Overwatch 2 anyways. To be fair though, I haven’t played the game in years, and that doesn’t really disappoint me given how they’ve been behaving. From supporting China’s abuse of Taiwan, to hiring torture apologists, from sexual abuse, to layoffs for devs as the moneymen…

Who buys all these non-standard-editions anyway? All the digital extras always seem like completely unnecessary crap. And you often can buy physical merch like statues, vynils and so on separate in probably better quality. And paying for season/battle-passes often before you even know what they’ll contain, appears…

Lots of editions, pretty easy decision though: PS5 basic version please. The only time you need both PS4 and PS5 versions is if there is an online aspect to the game that is worth dual boxing on the old PS4. It is frustrating that Sony makes you pay extra for the backward compatible version though. Kind of a bad…
