You’re dismissing that way too easily. A dual screen handheld was pretty game changing and not to mention touchscreen was not a standard back then.

They made Wii U as obsolete as possible by releasing majority of the games on the switch

This is one of those acquisitions that has been net positive for the industry. ND used that capital to push their games to the limit.

People say this game has not aged well, I only partially agree with that. Ps2 was my first 3d game console and I played this game on the wii virtual console, and I was just amazed by it. So much so that I thought I should try other n64 games too, but was disappointed at how awfully all of them controlled. This game really did set the bar.

I don’t think any amount of money could’ve saved the writing for Outlaws. People should not expect great writing from studios like Ubisoft. Not to say that Ubisoft doesn’t have great talent, but it’s a “too many cooks” situation there.

It’s a misleading headline, EA rejected Glen Schofield’s pitch for dead space 4. The guy who was responsible for the first one and Callisto protocol. It might be that EA is just not interested in letting them handle the franchise anymore.

For context, he made this joke because PEGI rated the game 18+ recently

I think it took a month for it to be polished enough. I remember this because it was when cdpr spun its upcoming patches into a great pr move by calling them “free dlc”. I think it was like 11-12 weeks of continuous “dlc” and Reddit was eating that up and dunking on other devs while praising the game to be the best game of all time. I legitimately remember post on Reddit showing some glitches in the game and comments saying something like “the game is glitchy, but at least it’s just funny glitches and nothing game breaking”. Also, first expansion came out 5 months after the release, so it still tracks that the game was patched up somewhat quick.

Witcher 3 came out in May of 2015 and set the record for goty awards at the time. I don’t think it took that long to patch it up.

Puzzles games could be really great here. The Case of the Golden Idol

I wonder why switch 2 hasn’t been announced yet. This might be a very uneducated take, but I feel like Nintendo might be waiting to see how the tariffs turn out before they official announce the price.

As much as I loved Elden Ring, it can be considered Demon’s Soul 6. I would rather have something like Bloodborne or Sekiro or something new.

UFO 50, Ghost of Tsushima, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and Cassette Beasts

Monster Hunter World. I usually stop playing games after I roll the credits, but I have been addicted to min/maxing in that series since Tri.

Pretty much. Halfway through the game missions had no story to them, until they randomly did.

Look at it this way, Disappointing =/= Bad. One of my biggest disappointments is Metal Gear Solid V and I love that game, but I know that my expectations were not met.

Should I worry about the brand that much or just go with OLED + HDR combo for whatever I can find in my budget?

Yes! I was so excited to play Patapon on my ps5, but it just did not feel right to play it on a TV

What’s considered a good “hdr” monitor?

Destiny with enemies calling you slurs

Unity had a rough launch, but that was the most “assassin” feeling assassin’s creed imo

Nah, I just want these big companies to crash and indies to flourish

Jason Shrier pointed this out multiple times in his podcast. He HAS the insider knowledge and shares it when appropriate and he will still see Twitter folks just blaming DEI for the issues any game is having. Sweet Baby Inc is a good one because some YouTubers grabbed on to this company simply because it’s a DEI consulting group, and now it spread like wild fire and you will even see comments on Reddit and Lemmy blaming Sweet Baby Inc for things that no one really know what aspects they worked with and how much.

Just buy humble bundles and check the games based on their Steam user reviews

Prince of Persia Lost Crown

They used og Zelda as an inspiration for it

BotW and TotK are some of my favorite games of all time, but I really do hope we get another big dungeons focused game in the future.

Neither of us said that people are ONLY upset because “woke politics”. Original comment is saying that those people are probably celebrating right now because they were “right” and I’m simply pointing out that whenever this happens, the anti-woke crowd think that it’s because of the woke politics. There are plethora of reason to be upset with Ubisoft, just like there were plethora of reasons to not play concord.

I snagged 6 on steam, are others playing getting too?

I’m not a Star Wars fan and this game has no redeeming quality for me to get it because it’s pretty mid gameplay wise too, but I feel like Star Wars fans would bite no? I think dragon ball z kakarot is mid, but I just love db so much that I bought and played the game anyway.

Prince of Persia came out this year and I would say that it’s one of the best metroidvania games ever made

To quote Jason Schreier, “whenever anything bad happens, worst people on the internet will be there to blame diversity”

Good find OP. This just might be my favorite gaming moment of this month.

That’s a relief, I wasn’t sure how worried I should be about heat sink. 2TB does make more sense in the back. Thank you!

Also, the game is on consoles too with crossplay

GTA 6 trailer is currently sitting at 206M. It’s not my most anticipated game (MH: Wilds!), but I would be delusional to think any game is more anticipated that gta 6 right now.

Seeing the type of boring shit I was into as a kid, I would’ve loved Minecraft movie when I was <9. I didn’t appreciate movies like Shrek, lion king and Toy Story until a bit later. Albeit, I didn’t see anything beyond the trailer, so idk if I’m missing anything.

This is exactly it. The game seemed fine, but it wasn’t doing anything to steal you away from your other games. On top of that it is $40, so there is barrier to entry. I feel bad for the developers, but the marketing team did not do enough research.

I’m not defending Ubisoft games, but I don’t get why people have such high expectations of them. I don’t recall the last Ubisoft game I played, but they seem like chill podcast games to me, I just turn my brain off and just take in the scenery.

It’s just an easy marketing dunk especially when denovo news was trending a bit this week
