Yep, and because this is old info it's getting lost in the shuffle. It explains the decision to close the studio at a macro-level considering they were likely running a skeleton crew just to get Redfall shipped. Worse still when it was panned and any desire to revive something DOA was likely...

The Japanese market has spoken: they're not console gamers. There's a reason why any random week 14 out of the top 15 game sales are all switch, because they love mobile and PC. If they're not on their phones, they're on switch or Steam to play games. Sony is more popular in the EU than their...

The tab on closed studios is being picked up by all big publishers, not just MS. What's clear is AAA is failing and will sink ships, while indie is having a renaissance. These moves are being made now to reign big spending in and focus on sustainability. The issue here hasn't been the closures...

Love that entire trilogy but no way would I think to replay them again. I'd probably sooner fire up Valhalla to finish the DLCs that I just burned out before release. In fact, I still haven't 100% GR Wildlands either. And yet I've still considered getting that collection just because I'm a...

To be clear, if the day one releases aren't appetizing enough then I would start optioning to only sub WHEN they have enough, or for big releases. As it stands this year, I'm not seeing the value yet so my approach is changing.

They caved because they were facing either thousands of refunds both from inaccessible countries and angry PC gamers, or class-action lawsuits if they didn't issue refunds to those affected. The level of incompetence or arrogance at Sony is mind-blowing. Even the mouthpiece CM for Helldivers...

Only downside is they missed all the AFK exploits for leveling, which were amazing. Other than Palworld, this would be the only other big get for them this year as it has been a wash for me. Game Pass is starting to lose that luster of day one releases because a lot of what I play, I've still...

It would have been GOTY with full nudity (see BG3).

If it's on Game Pass, I might actually try COD for the first time. Assuming it has a campaign; I don't follow these games.

Yeah, I'm extremely disappointed with how that's played out so far. I've abandoned hope they would integrate WoW into Game Pass with revenue from regular subs and box sales of expansions+cash shop. Looks like they bought the business and did nothing with it, just another revenue stream. Cata...

The only aspect of that game that held my attention was the shipbuilder. I watched more ship builds and how to exploit retrothrusters for that game than anything else. Otherwise I'd have been done with the game in two weeks. IDC what they have planned for the expansion, it won't fundamentally...

I quit after about a year of playing it, probably close to when they were about to release wastelanders actually and I had fun with it as a pure sandbox game. The experience back then was very Star Wars Galaxies where there were limited vendors and the best items were sold by players. No need...

This game made me realize that for me to enjoy a soulslike, it must carry a certain aesthetic of grimdark or at the very least: dark undertones. This just looked like another clone with a weeb magical girl wrapper. Unironically I never looked into the Nier games either, but hadn't considered it...

I tried to log in on my wife's PC last night so she could play Manor Lords but instead was locked out because of an incorrect pin. . .that I never set up. Looking up guidance to change or disable, it wasn't where they stated it would be so I literally could not log in or change it on my own...

Yeah, now if only someone could shut that smug prick up.
