I played through Horizon: Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, and with how hard every NPC was flirting with Aloy, I wondered “Why isn’t this a post-apocalyptic dating sim?”

I mean, Aloy is super cool, badass and hot as fuck, if you’re single, the only reason not to flirt with her would be fear.
I thought that with how things ended in HFW, the next game ought to be an RTS.


You write “no specified edition”, meaning the setting? Do you know that C&C has two main separate settings, one being the Tiberium one, while the other the Red Alert one? With multiple games for each setting.



phone apps too, buy once update forever doesn’t make sense, just like subscriptions don’t make sense at the other end of the spectrum




I think either gobliiins or starush for the Amiga




For now. Would you risk a long-standing relationship with your most important customers for a temporary boost in income?


They do this because everyone else allows them to. I think computer and device manufacturers have more leverage than RAM manufacturers if they join together. Yet they don’t, because today’s management class is vastly incompetent.


There’s no guarantee that AI companies will need this amount of product indefinitely, while PC manufactures will always need RAM. Alienating them would be commercially foolish.



PC manufacturers should grow some balls and tell RAM suppliers to lower the price or lose their business forever.


SEGA? A bit ancient history by now I guess


And the Steam discount golden age ended years ago, nowadays it’s much more expensive. Not to mention the bundles of the time.


For me it’s

1-4 might buy and never play it
4-12 eh if it’s got good reviews and it’s my genre it’s a potential impulse buy
12-25 it’s got to be very acclaimed and I have to desire it strongly
25-35 if it’s like the sequel of a game I loved A LOT, and has good reviews, and it gets me on a good day
35+ no way, I’ll wait for a discount


Does it make sense to do this for something that is already part of a larger franchise (d&d)? Diablo would be a better candidate for a linear story I think.


Minsc and Jaheira were in both BG1&2, the big bad of BG1 was a Bhaal spawn as was one of the protagonist’s friends. There’s more characters from the older games, such as

Spoiler

Shadowheart’s mistress/boss/whatever




Aside from it being a high price for any game, the first game also was very meh, you can’t expect lots of sales from its fans




I came to post this. I would have been super stoked, and I actually was when the Motorola Atrix was announced a lifetime ago, now my first reaction is “hell no!”.



For every one that fails there are 15 that keep steady




looks like a legion, not a deck



IIRC it used to be 50 hours. Most people don’t hit that.

Adding this limit doesn’t make sense then. Why anger your customers for minimum benefit?





Well, if they release it they’ll stop getting money shortly after, so why would they?




Equivalent doesn’t mean much when it’s not a standard, upgradable PC. This device competes with consoles, not desktop PCs, and needs to be in that price bracket, as the equivalence is not on the hardware or performance, but just “can it play current-gen games?”


>Today, on February 28, nearly five years after Control’s initial launch, Remedy Entertainment, the team behind the Alan Wake, Quantum Break, and Control series, released an announcement regarding a deal between them and 505 Games, detailing a full transition to Remedy acquiring full rights to the franchise. While Remedy Entertainment previously developed the game with 505 Games having publishing, distribution, and marketing rights over Control, this latest transaction converts this authority to Remedy, giving them full rights over Control, Control 2, and their upcoming multiplayer game currently under the code Condor.
