I’m in there. I see “story rich” and it reads as a crutch for no gameplay, or a premise for a book without the responsibility of pacing.

I know that’s far from true, and there are loads of great story-rich games that are fun and engaging. But when that’s the main tag, it turns me away.

What better way to advertise your clandestine movie than with clandestine marketing?

We re-re-re-re-re-re-re-released Skyrim once again over the last 10 years, it just doesnt have the same traction. It’s just that these audiences are only interested in a game for 6 months max.

Isn’t collective punishment against the Geneva Convention?

Maybe I don’t know enough about computer graphics, but in what world would you have/want to display a group of 33 pixels (one computed, 32 inferred)?!

Are we inferring 5 to the left and right and the row above and below in weird 3 x 11 strips?

Maybe don’t charge $145 for a digital product. Maybe charge $50, and sell it to 5x the people. It quite literally costs nothing (okay, pedantically, the tiniest fraction) to sell more units.

I’d play an okay Star Wars game for $50 day 1. Wouldn’t you?

And then when it goes on sale, loads of people would pay $20 on a 60% sale price next year. Whose paying $60 at a 60% off sale for a year old okay Star Wars game? No one. Not one soul.

Oh, you can get it cheaper for subscribing to Ubisoft+. Fuck off with that bullshit, do you even hear yourself?

At first glance, that headline makes it sound disjointed and awful. But that’s a decent summation of a lot of my favourite parts of KCD 1.

I have over 500 titles in my backlog of shame (loads of freebies, but still shameful). If I play a new game every week, it’ll take me 10 years to get through it.

What if some are absolute bangers and I sink 300+ hours in? I’ll never be finished!

But what if none of them are? For 10 years I’d have slogged through a quagmire of mediocrity for nothing other than to tick a series of boxes.

Diplomacy. They can improve diplomacy. Will they? Absolutely not. But they could.

Jokes on you, commie! Space is part of the US of A. You put a flag up there, it’s yours. Thems the rules.

Rather, they’re not sorry they tried to scam you, they’re sorry it didn’t work.

I still fucking love Star Wars. I’m super excited for this game.

I will never pay $110 for a god damn video game. And neither should any Star Wars fan.

Oh no! Actors being paid the minimum legal amount?!

Think of how much it will cost to produce now that they have to pay the least they can possibly be allowed to pay someone!

I wouldn’t be shocked by how poorly Blizzard treated its employees unless they literally had someone pacing through the office whipping employees whose retinal activity slowed below minimal compliance.

It’s Blizzard.

Yeah, to say a successful business is a monopoly because it is far reaching is absurd.
