C’mon man, nobody brought up the cash thing, and Reddit isn’t making money by being assholes to the mods or brazenly lying about the Apollo dev and then getting super pissy when he released the phone call showing they were lying (among other things).

Tipped your hand - you’re either an imbecile, or a troll / agitator.

...except the “inmates” are already the ones “running the asylum”?

Without mods the subreddits would be unreadable spam. And that would cause people to not visit. Which would cause Reddit to crater. So sorry but the CEO is in the wrong here. He seems to forget how Reddit got so large. But if he wants to keep fucking around he’s going to find out. Someone will build a new Reddit and…

This is where I’m at - Alan Wake was only really worth it to me for the story mostly, and even there some of the execution was a disappointment. I just really don’t feel compelled towards a sequel, but we’ll see. Control by contrast surprised me with its strong points (that and honestly we could use more games in this…

yea Alan Wake isn’t my kind of game, but still hope this one does well so Remedy doesn’t have any issues moving on to Control 2.

I’m still not sold on the sequel yet, I can’t really put my finger on why, but I need to read/see more.

I really don’t anymore. I just woke up here and nothing looks familiar. Dude, where’s my car?

Seriously, by the end of the Marathon games in Marathon Infinity, they were asking the player to consider the idea of protagonists in fiction/myth, concepts written about by Joseph Campbell and how and why the same stories kept being told. Now it resurfaces as a corpse scavenging game.

“Wow, Bungie’s Marathon no gameplay Trailer Is The Coolest-Looking Shooter Trailer without gameplay In Years.”

I’m not usually that guy but this is the third article about a trailer for a remake of a game that is about as related to the original as current Atari is to original Atari. Enough already! And get off my lawn!

Sure the art looks amazing but there was zero gameplay. It’s a cinematic trailer. Destiny’s look amazing too but we should all know by now that they cannot get the PvP right.

That’s impossible to say because we have not a damn clue what it actually looks like.

no gameplay in the trailer, who gives a shit.

If you aren’t going to show me the actual game I’m not interested in the slightest at this point.

I’m glad some folks are hype, but I cannot find the appeal outside of slickly produced teaser trailer that’s just setting vibes for an extraction shooter.

This was playtested and they knew it was a mediocre product, they just don’t care as long as enough people pay AAA game prices for it.

What I’m hearing is, “It turned out we were incapable of making a game, so we just reworked the monetization model and slapped a 2 on the title so we could pretend to be launching a new game for a publicity bump. We shall now return to crawling indefinitely.”

“Single-player or bot matches won’t be possible, but Keltner hopes the games’ meticulously-made, but unscripted, format will boost players’ genuine, spontaneous fear.”

Congratulations, you just gave him the clout he so desperately craves.

Redfall started development before the Bethesda acquisition so I doubt its core vision had anything to do with MS. Bethesda tried making niche, single-player games before. They all sold poorly. Dishonored 2, Prey, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus, Evil Within 2... all were commercial failures. So, Bethesda decided they…
