Based on the summaries I’ve seen for chat messages at work, it’ll be a mixed bag. Often times I find it pretty useless.


It’s definitely happened before, though I couldn’t say to what extent. The reason has been that if they rate games from major developers too poorly they stop getting access to their new games before release.

I care very little about critics these days though, and it’s mostly for the reason you suggest, differing opinions. If they don’t like the same types of games I like, what good is their rating to me? I’m not taking the time to try to find a critic that has similar tastes as me.


DRM is usually known for big games before they are released. You can find articles about how the DRM works online. If it’s a new type of DRM, they usually describe how it works.


I don’t know, but I will say that while 10kg doesn’t sound like a lot, for something like fentanyl that’s millions of doses.


Uhh, because I have a working optical drive. Am I in the minority now? Doesn’t get a ton of use but every now and then I have to rip a DVD I own because it’s starting to die.






Yea, I couldn’t care less what the shareholders want. The point of a product is to be good for the purchaser. Once you take your focus off making a good product, you’re through.




I don’t have near enough notifications for that. I don’t know how people end up in those situations and do nothing about it. I get 1 notification I don’t want and that app no longer is allowed notifications. You’ve violated the trust.



The world’s most valuable franchise is Pokémon. I will say the list specifies the MCU so IDK if that includes all Marvel stuff.

As nice as this would be, free speech is free speech. IDK how they’d begin to moderate something so large.



It sure sounded like you were. It’s because you said cash grab. That’s a negative attribute. You basically said it’s garbage but made him a lot of money. Along the lines of like the last 4 terminator movies.




That title is misleading, at best. They plan on releasing a large scale title every year. Not that a title will be on yearly release schedule.


Not really “doing their best” if they’re still usable. Would be pretty simple for them to stop others from being to use it.


What do you mean by Destiny 2 funding? Like people paying for the game and such?



Based on my Steam metrics, E just for Europa Universalis 4.


Yea, I’m not including Sid Meier in that. The only time that qualifier is ever used is when talking about Pirates!.







Are you the only person that likes Daikatana? I thought that game was pretty universally panned. I haven’t played it myself, mostly because all I’ve heard is how bad it is.


All I wanted was to see it in action. Video has everything but that.



I’ve never really played the others. Coworker got me into it. It’s a lot easier to get into the games if you’re playing with someone who already knows what they’re doing.

EU5 looks like it’s bringing a lot from the other games though.


I’ve been playing EU4 for over 5 years. Might as well take that one. Fuck it, I’ll take 3 copies.


Europa Universalis 4. And EU5 is on the horizon.

Definitely not like the games you’ve mentioned though.



Fallout: London will eventually come out, hopefully. It’s a mod, but still.
