They also don’t stay in one place, and can just randomly show up in a place when you’re, say, doing stealthy stuff. Suddenly assassinating a whole outpost of orcs becomes “aww shit, Feldûsh is here, and he’s immune to stealth attacks” or '“oh no Roggvir just showed up, he’s riding a warg and so are the other 4 guys he pals around with”.

Anthem and Andromeda were actually pretty good as bases to work off of. I truly believe Anthem could’ve succeeded in the stated mission of “Destiny Killer” if they had put work into making it good, building it into a good instanced MMO. Same with Andromeda - actually pretty good game that just had a rough start, and could’ve been great if the studio had put time and effort into DLC.

But the metric is never “how many people are actually saying this is a good game and they enjoy it”, it’s “did this literally smash every other game out there on release.”

Don’t forget the part where they go fight TV in space.

Even with the weird Mormon allusions, I really wish we could’ve gotten an Advent Rising sequel.

God I miss the Haunted Forest.

Sir, permission to leave the station.

Dammit, I even read it in his fucking voice.

Oh, I know what the ladies like.

Edit: From a different game.

“He’s fucked in the head, the world’s fucked in the head, and YOU’RE fucked in the head because MY fucked up head is inside it. Guess if you wanna save the world, that’s the first step; get fucked in the head.”

Might run…tests on the seashells.

AND you have two other great mages to hang around with, so you can combo off each other real easy.

It wouldn’t have surprised me if WOTC dropped D&D as a brand if Honor Among Thieves had flopped.

And in some cases, the IP getting a shit movie or show can tell the game developers “well, time to drop the entire brand for 15 years”.

Didn’t they do this with Yakuza?

Once again, the UDHR is not legally binding in any way.

I’ll bet you anything it’s taxes.

I was about to say, this sounds like a classic tax dodge. Start developing a ton of games, drop 8 of them come next year to make the charts look nicer for the shareholders, maybe release 1 game 3 years down the line.

Legion, the answer to your question? It’s yes.

Aw man, I love Golf Story. Such a fun little game, and way more accessible than a lot of other golf games.

Destiny? Assuming I’m in the Last City, things MIGHT be OK. If I’m not, assuming the season is the current timeline, there’s a short amount of time before the Shadow Legion captures me, some hangers-on from House Dusk kill me, the Red Legion (what’s left of it) kills me, or the Witness ends reality as we know it.

I mean, I get it from one angle - Gollum is one of the longest lived characters in LOTR. The issue is that even being 500 years old, he doesn’t really witness or interact with it all that much. Someone like Galadriel or Aragorn or Gandalf would be far more interesting.

They were supposed to have a whole series IIRC, but the contract got cancelled because the initial offering didn’t sell very well. It didn’t help that the marketing didn’t really know how they wanted to talk about the game.

He was also CEO of EA when a private equity firm (that he founded and sat on the board of) bought Bioware and then sold it to EA.

Yeah, I’d accept this if it were a DS game. Not on major consoles in 2023.
