You cant accuse a company of overly relying on the results of focus groups and not giving the majority what they want, those are mutually exclusive actions. Take Daisy Jones and the Six for example, Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 67% at the time and Metacritic score of 62% showing it had a lukewarm reception from…

Then you go on to the existential threats like Eternity and Death, Infinity (introduced kind of) and Oblivion, Galactus, The Living Tribunal (several cameos), and the Beyonders being the counterparts to the Celestials.

Pfft, in my day if we wanted to cheat in a game we got out a hexadecimal calculator and manually edited the save file, or scanned for the relevant value in memory and froze it.

Republican support hasnt budged in decades.

Article writer hasnt done their homework very popular episode in 2012 to celebrate the jubilee which sparked several book stories. The game is paying tribute to the famous jumping in puddles scene because of this close tie to the franchise.

Freelancer lacked final polish but it was actually really good.

Frame count clearly shows buttons being pressed an average of 3-4 times per second.

Using a hack to position the character in the level, a bot to control the character and then calculation of memory offsets to glitch to a specific co-ordinate doesn’t really seem to be a player achievement, could just as easily have hacked directly to the mushrooms location.

I am actually worried about how little this game has been shown off.

Pineapple should always be put on pizza before cooking. It becomes even sweeter when cooked as the sugars break down and the sweetness of the pineapple should contrast with the saltiness of the bacon (dont use non salted bacon!) to make a flavour similar to Chinese sweet and sour.

Look how successful One Piece Odyssey has been, thats the most traditional of JRPG’s. the last FF was borderline as under the rock paper scissors action combat it was still RPG combat mechanics. I am really not interested in a pure action FF and not sure many others are either looking at the relative underperformance…

I missed the boat on the first Destiny and never felt like I could catch up with the way have constantly deleted and abbreviated content over the years. I hope maybe sometime in the distant future they will release a Remastered version of the trilogy and then I would play that.

Not just Rovio, PopCap have been suffering a long term decline in revenue as well. Free to play shovelware has just become such a crowded marketplace even the big boys cant compete.

I cringe whenever the Professor Agasa ‘puzzles’ in Detective Conan come up, sometimes they are puns like x japanese word contains y related word (e.g. name of an object contains a name of a particular species of fish), usually they are based on adding or removing extra strokes from individual Kanji characters in words…

Microsoft is just as bad as EA at buying studios, having them release whatever they were working on, retask them to then work on some totally unrelated project or franchise for another of their IP’s then shutter them when that project is released.

Indeed, but the only way the AI is going to learn to draw a 3d object from different perspectives is if it understands the object in a three dimensional rather than 2d sense. Simply training it on 2d images with depth perspective is not going to help it anymore than training it on 2d images, it will simply get better…

These art bots need to go do some muscle studies like Leonardo, I think understanding physiology rather than just appearance would help, certainly would stop them drawing too many fingers.

Still not sold on the voice of Mario but the producers have shown they obviously have a deep respect for the source material.

Look at the phenomenal success of Football Manager, that hasn’t suffered from not having the Premier League license as its managed to leverage the Champions League and FA licenses.
