You actually dont have to kill anyone. Just eat rats for blood and complete tasks for xp

This sounds like an Alpha Protocol-era Obsidian game.

Those prices are a BIG ask for something that’s quietly being touted as what will “save the game”. Not counting on it but I REALLY hope they put that thing on sale by shopping season this year.

Yes, but they are not women, so it’s not relevant.

Men get treated like shit too. Ethan mars gets mentally and physically abused throughout that entire game. Most of the men in Beyond are abusive and violent or completely clueless. I’d say it’s about equal. Ethan even got his own shower scene!

I would say that Mercer’s voice acting is an utterly essential part of him being a fun DM to watch on a stream, but a very secondary part of him being a good DM to actually play with.

Yeah. I have zero interest in MMOs. However, I think we all know this is where the business is headed.

we hear it’s an online game of some sort

No way we get Fallout 5 before TES6 (I don’t think...).

Monopoly is only long if you don’t play it right or have bullshit AI.

What’s amazing is how much less games cost when they don’t have to shoulder the immense cost of padding shareholder and executive wallets or deal with paying for unnecessary megamillion dollar marketing campaigns, or how, unlike the days of old, games from 2013 are still being sold and making a profit for their…

Or studios should strive to be more efficient like every other f*ing business around. 35 millions in promotion is just plain stupid.

Except it won’t mean less micro transactions. It will mean games get more expensive, and the micros probably get more expensive too.

Based on those numbers, they have to sell around 4.5 million copies making around $30 copy. If you figure half of sales are digital, it’s even less. Rise of the Tomb Raider sold 7 million copies. I’d say they’re doing fine. Will they make $1 billion dollars on the game? No. But they should make a tidy profit.

I blame the parents for letting their kids be so into video games. When I become a parent, I’m sure I’ll end up buying my kids a console, but they won’t be able to play it for more than an hour at a time and they’ll be forced to be active in all kinds of sports! And while they’re outside playing or at practice, I will…

I really appreciate that you took the time to parse out the nuance and complexity evident in Faith’s character. She really is trying to be all things to all people—but I stop short of according her the level of sympathy you’re showing here, for three reasons:

First and foremost, even if she’s now clean, she’s actively…

After the first one, Kratos isn’t really glorified. In 3, he’s unambiguously a monster, consumed by revenge, that fucks up everything around him.

Yes! I think a lot of people don’t really get this? I really hated that stuff in GOW1 and 2 but on playing 3, the hypermasculinity and pointless sexuality seemed less like something you were meant to be enjoying and more like something that was meant to make you just the slightest bit uncomfortable.
Just enough that…

On the previous generation of consoles (PS3, Xbox360), the requirements by Sony and Microsoft still required games to be playable on old CT TV’s, without HD. This may have been a bit stupid because I doubt many people used those TVs, but it had the advantage of keeping interfaces relatively “big” as games were…

I’m glad it’s affecting the game. There is no reason microtransactions should be in ANY full priced game. It’s a shitty practice, it makes the game shitty, and just shows that the developers and publishers only care about being greedy and trying robbing players out of every penny.
