I’m sure everyone was waiting for reviews and the only people who bought it are ok with being testers. Everyone is happy probably.

The lack of exclusives was because they dropped the ball last gen and thought watching tv on your game console was more important than games. They weren’t playing 4d chess by not making games. It was just a bad gamble. When both consoles have the same multi-plats of course exclusives are gonna tilt the scales. Now all…

I know for a fact that I have seen channels that already had the count disabled. There must have been some algorithm penalty for disabling it I guess because I always wondered why everyone didn’t do it.

That one line about in video game review being taken so extremely is 100% a sign of an unhealthy relationship. There is no unfair opinion of a video game because that is how the review felt! It’s fine to disagree and write your own opinion of why the game has heart but spoiler alert. The people getting mad haven’t…

You just described what this article is talking about. Wrapping up your self identity in a videogame so much that one line in a review upsets you. That mentality is what makes talking about video games seem impossible and why gaming will never reach the same level of respect of other art forms. Going into a review…

It was one line out of a whole ass review. I read it and feel like I got a much better idea of what SMT is about as I have only played P5. If they didn’t I would have looked for more reviews that did. Was interested in checking it out but the fans have rick and morty’d it to hell and back. People need to chill.

The title of the article is literally “Marvel’s XCOM” which gives the completely wrong impression of the game. This is not xcom with a marvel skin it is something fundamentally different. It is by the developers of xcom but it’s not xcom. This isn’t some random reddit post. It’s a videogame website about videogames.

I dunno how anyone watched that gameplay reveal and thought it plays anything like xcom. They are both turn based and that is where the similarities end. By that logic Portal and Doom are similar because they are both first person games where you hold a gun.

Need a welfare check on red shirt guy asap

A lot for old games. As soon as I place my pre-order I’m gonna throw an online tantrum because they can’t get away with this. Teach those greedy fucks a lesson in being pro-consumer I will!

I also much prefer the big corporations who think the world is their fiefdom. At least couch your disdain for people in corporate euphemisms. Give me a sense of plausible deniability ya know?

Gonna go ahead and assume this was sarcasm

Pulling the slot machine for waifus is the fundamental mechanic. 

Name a game that doesn’t have elements originally found in earlier games. You would have to go back to the birth of gaming I assume.

Trying to squeeze every dollar they can out of the new gamepass players before the plug is pulled after Spiderman. Was there ever a Schreier level post-mortem on this game? There is no way it was developed originally as a live service looter. Even Anthem had more thought put into its loot and GaaS features.

BS. They know it’s not a good thing. That is why they do it. Anyone spamming chat with hate speech isn’t thinking this is cool and totally normal. Expecting a video game to teach people morality is ridiculous. Imagine going to any IRL event and someone was screaming slurs at everyone and the organizers said “maybe he…

Have a large human enforcement team and issue one strike perma bans. Anything less and your message rings hollow. No one needs a warning about not being a bigot. It all starts at the top.

It’s fine. Everyone who freaked out the last time the store was threatened bought all the old games they let slip their minds for the past 15 years. It’s not like Sony is gonna keep these servers open until the heat death of the universe. No digital storefront ever will. Was that ever really an expectation?

I like that this article goes from “Bethesda is running a slave labor camp for their audio team” to a quick note at the end that a small indie studio recorded twice as many lines lol. There is more than enough fuckery in gaming that you don’t have to manufacture controversy. Bobby Kotick is still breathing.
