I also think it matters that one is a game and your example is a movie. And the 2022 movie is immediately recognizable as a Predator movie being from a very well known franchise. There is little to no chance anyone would ever think of the movie had any ties to the games.

I’m likely the exception here, but I was very disappointed when I found out the 2017 game had nothing to do with the 2006 game. Even knowing that I tried 2017 because of the good reviews, but I just couldn’t get past the disappointment. I just kept wanting it to be a sequel to 2006. I gave up early on and never…

What does the Predator have to do with this?  It’s part of the overall Predator series.  The point here is that Prey (2017) had nothing to do with Prey (2006).

He’s a kid. Fuck off.

I know a lot of people liked the 2017 Prey, but I could never get past my disappointment that it had nothing to do with Prey 2006.  So I quit the game early on and never went back. 

I don’t think anyone is really surprised with these PS4 vs X1 numbers, but I do think MS is not as focused on console sales any longer. They’ve largely merged their PC and console ecosystems and are focusing heavily on GP. They have a fairly good cloud service up and running and have plans to put XBox apps on smart…

The fact they were apparently playable on the cloud is the interesting part. That wouldn’t work if the games weren’t already loaded on the cloud servers. That seems to indicate that this is tied to something more than a joke.

Wildlands is a very good game. Especially co-op. Don’t give a shit about Boyfriend Dungeon *shrug*.

Nah, it’s definitely human. A genetic test would tell you as much. It’s just a very early stage of development. The two sides are just drawing lines in different spots and acting like the other sides are monsters because of where they drew their line. I just get annoyed with disingenuous arguments that are child’s…

It’s doom, just not Doom.

We’re all clumps of cells. See how easy that is? These two sides will never see eye to eye. One side views it as the ending of a human life at any stage and one side argues it doesn’t count until the it could be born and survive independent of the mother’s body. 

Sure… I’ve just always found that argument disingenuous. A least frame it correctly.

One one hand that’s kind of funny, but on the other an infant can’t do those things either.  

Wow… this generated a surprising amount of discussion. Reading all the comments has been interesting.  

Maybe. I was thinking maybe there were supply issues with the controllers so Valve started mixing in another model based on availability. But the Steam Deck has certainly been scrutinized over heat and battery life so it might well be that.

Even Valve concedes there will be an occasional difference.  They are just claiming users won’t notice in most situations.  Which might be true, but still shady IMO especially since it’s basically lottery now as to which you will get.

Even if the differences are slight it seems a little shady to quietly downgrade the specs and not let anyone know. Nearly any hardware goes through revisions, but most are upgrades, improvements to efficiency, or changes with no performance change.

Makes sense.  

It’s not a deck builder since they don’t carry through between levels. The cards are basically just standing for weapons pick-ups. It doesn’t sound like the fact they are “cards” actually plays any role in the game. It’s the standard hold two weapons that a ton of games use. The real twist is the single use…

To these players, the rise of F2P gaming is a virus that needs to be stamped out.
