their time was a deficit in points. Think felony robbery, but instead of jail time... you end up 100k in debt. These two were able to continue and qualify despite being out of 2 weeks others were able to continue and compete.

Their 14-day ban isnt light in any sense of the imagination. These guys were basically given a huge deficit in points thanks to their 14-day ban. They should have been all but been eliminated, but they still were able to come back from their situation. Something these teams saw when they extended offers to them. Epic…

the way the community treats these cheaters is the way the US treats a lot of exconvicts released from prison after their time finished. Some of them just want to move on with their lives, but still we treat them like they forever have a scarlet letter.

a lot of this was decision making on Deep Silver, but Y’s also owes Epic a lot for the help they provided bringing Shenmue 3 to life since they are using the Unreal Engine 4 to make the game. Ys has no ill will towards gamers and really wanted to offer the steam keys, but whatever deal was made... made that impossible…

meanwhile. buffalo sauce is a hot sauce and not made with chilis?

There are plenty of good mobile games. Your phrasing incites that ALL mobile games are garbage which isnt true. Yes, they arent designed to be as full featured as a pc game. But they are still good for what they are. Micro-experiences. Just like 90% of PC games are shovelware. Doesnt mean ALL PC games are shovelware.

Not going to dispute that. But.. people are expecting them to make a game as great as BG2 in this day and age where things are more complicated than before since people want more out of their games. As I said, the idea of BG3 is leading people to have grand expectations of GotY or GOAT status for the game before its…

heh, I think people are more hyped about the idea of a BG3 than the actual game. In this day in age, disappointment is a common commodity.

Two words: Bridge. Baby.

Loading times ARE an issue. because it restricts asset sizes. With the push to 8k, game and asset sizes are going to balloon like crazy. We are already hitting 50GB game sizes for 4k. 8k would likely start to easily push 100GB+ for one game. Trying to load any of that will take time. The example Sony showed isnt “real…

Mario + Rabbids is on sale fairly often. Not a voucher title. This is one is mostly on ubisoft publishing.

Considering that Fire emblem three houses, marvel ultimate alliance 3, and astral chains are in the upcoming section.. fairly good chance they want to push their bigger titles this fall. 

You arent going to come out ahead just spending $100. Nintendo is banking on people buying multiple sets to get ready for the slew of games releasing in the next 2-12 months. People who go digital only can use this chance to save a decent amount of money. Soon, your $20 NSO sub would have saved you $100 or more on…

Games or mini games? Not sure on appeal of $100 console with a bunch of mini games.

its SSD, but they are using a new SSD revision. PCIe 4.0. Imagine current limit of SSD is 600mb/s, 4.0 has a limit of 64GB’s. almost 100x faster than current iterations. They just need to have an SSD in the system with that capability. in something bigger than 500gb.

not when gamers are being forced to throw money at Epic for selling them games they want.

err not really. Unreal was a cash cow before Fortnite. And now the Epic Store will be another cash cow. They are slowly emerging as another Valve like studio. They dont need to release games often since the store supports the studio.

This isn’t an EA thing, this is a live services thing. Division, destiny 1 and 2, Warframe, fallout 76 and now Anthem (very likely Division 2 as well). All those games shipped in broken states and took months to years to get to the state they are in now. No live service ships in GotY status. Just the nature of the…

Bug or feature? are we going to expect a nerf in the next few hours and apology about the quest giving rewards higher than intended?

children can buy a packs of trading cards just fine. no store will ever stop a child from buying a pack of yugioh or pokemon cards. why? no one considers them gambling. If you want to rid the video game business against lootboxes. then you might as well just outright ban MtG from existing since they work on the same…
