Another shining example of how “When the profit motive becomes unmoored from the purpose motive, bad things happen....”

It’s definitely made a ton of strides on the console (if you have a fast enough connection). I wasn’t even super impressed with PS3 on PS4 streaming - a game like Split/Second would chunk and lag everywhere - but using PS5's streaming options so far, I could’ve been easily fooled I was playing locally, even with…

In other, completely unrelated news:

I’m so exhausted of late stage capitalism. When do we get to the part where we put CEOs and shareholders in a guillotine?

RIP Rocksteady. Cause of death AT&T+Zazloff+other idiots who don’t know how to run a game division.

In my experience, everything in this thread is cynical horseshit.

Every single person he annoyed had something better to do than help him make more money.  Fuck this guy.

I think if you can pull this off and no one is harmed you should get off free.

As soon as one can pay TSA to avoid their inefficient screening(Pre Check) it becomes a joke

I mean... The 60s/70s were also a very different time than even the 90s or 00s...

I generally agree with what you’re saying, except for this:

So part of that is true, but not for the reasons you might think. Blizzard built itself up to be fully autonomous from the rest of the company, the goal being to still be separate from Activision. While times were good, ABK didn’t care and didn’t force things. Several years of weaker than expected releases and…

Microsoft has already stated that Activision was already planning layoffs.  Now, while trusting suits on their word alone isn’t generally a good idea, it’s also worth noting that the previous guy in charge was Bobby Kotick.  As the paragon of sweetness and light that he is, I’m sure Activision would never have done…

It’s incredibly cool that this company of incompetent boobs was allowed to buy up basically every videogame IP that wasn’t already spoken for (and some that were).

Are we calling AC Valhalla an RPG now?

My comments stands. I take back nothing. 

How do you feel about warner brothers selling dvds of their WWII propaganda films? They have a near identical disclaimer at the start of the films as listed here.

Kotaku in this review is being disingenuous about the updated graphics with those comparison pics. That’s not how the updated graphics look on your TV. They look sharp and crisp. They look like this...

I think alterations to the original material is a “dammed if you do dammed if you don’t” situation. Thinking from that perspective, it seems logical to not allocate resources to change these. Also, we don’t see Hollywood making any of these types of changes to their re-releases. Not sure if this deep a criticism is…

This is... bizarre to say the least. Like, you were playing a fictional character in a video game. And in-universe, it’s even more unhinged - under what “ethical” framework could someone demand you let them kill you?
