Holy hell!

It’s called an excuse, same as we had with covid, supply chain issues, Ukraine war, energy prices, erc. Capitalist greed is limitless, they will use any excuse possible

They also closed Monolith, a great studio behind e.g. FEAR amd Shadow of Mordor games. They are making all the wrong decisions, and then will wonder why they have lost to competitors.

Chop-chop!

Ah, you’re right I mixed them up. Arkane only helped with Youngblood a bit. Yes, the Indiana Jones game was really good, I loved it

Throwing his heart out to Planet Earth, such a beautiful picture ❤️

Loved the new games, though Youngblood was the weakest. I wish Arkane would have made more of them, instead of being forced to do that live service shit Redfall.

Edit: I mixed up the studios, the new WE games were developed by Machinegames, Arkane only helped with Youngblood.

Yeah, this should be standard practice

Here you go:

Such a loss, may he rest in peace.

Growing up in Eastern Europe, HL2’s visuals connected so much with me. Viktor was from Sofia, so that city served as the basis for City 17. When I played Dishonored, I was also blown away by the art style, and only realized it was him later.

It’s definitely a “you get what you deserve” situation, yet I can’t help but be sad, thinking that more than a decade ago, Ubisoft made some of my favorite games (e.g Splinter Cell series, Far Cry 3, AC Black Flag).

Though that Ubisoft is long gone by now, and I haven’t touched their games for years.

Not my president! 😡

Yes, not every game needs to appeal to everyone - the problem is that big publishers are always aiming for the lowest common denominator, that’s why we end up with many bland and similar games

Very happy for the success of this game, even if it’s not my style. It seems like a breath of fresh air among soulless cash grabs

One?

I think it will be 80 dollars, with bigger editions available, eg. including online mode. For me, the 30fps is the most annoying, I was never a performance fanatic, but I’m used to 60 now.

Absolutely not. I don’t remember the last time I played a game without 60fps performance option on my PS5

With day 1 releases, GP is often a good deal. I usually just subscribe for a month when something interesting comes along, and play that. I finished the new COD BO campaign and Indiana Jones game for 1 month’s price, so I cannot complain.

1. Kill physical retail channels ☑️
2. Sales through physical retail channels drop 🤯

Exactly, when people are given the choice, most of them prefer physical media

He probably forgot to funnel millions of dollars to non-profits and businesses adjacent to PEGI decisionmakers and their family members. Rookie mistake.

They are actually planning a trilogy:

• Horizon: Zero Copyright
• Horizon: Forbidden East
• Horizon: Call of the Lawyer

The Edith and the Remains: Tokyo Finch

You need to report this to your local data protection authority (or similar). They didn’t carry out your deletion request, so they would most likely be fined (at least that happens often in my country).

Not my president 😡

I played Cyberpunk on launch, sold my disc after a few days, and refused to touch it again since. If a game is marketed as a fully finished game, I’m not interested in a barely running early access version. I understand they fixed most things since, but I don’t care, have plenty of other things to play. As long as gamers keep continuing to encourage this behaviour, it will keep hapoening and getting worse.

No, we stop at the second

UC4 still looks so amazing, unbelievable game

Meh. They might have not wanted to make Ep3, but the fans sure did.

I understand Valve works or used to work very differently, people collaborating without a strong top-down steering from management. Yet whatever explanation they have, we were punched in the gut at the end of Ep2, then left waiting, holding our breath. It’s just a piece of media, but it was an important part of my teenage years, and I could never experience the end of the story (outside of reading it in a blog) I waited so much for.

This made me really resent Valve, and soured my experience/memories with the series, I haven’t touched HL or other Valve game for 10+ years, and I don’t think I will in the future.

Ubisoft is thrilled to announce a fresh chapter in the Rayman franchise, partnering with original creator Michael Ancel to bring fans a brand-new online adventure.

Dive into a sprawling, vibrant open world that unfolds gradually, with dozens of AI generated side quests and expansive regions to explore — all while managing your resources carefully to unlock even the most basic of abilities. Designed for maximum immersion, players can look forward to leveling up their character through a robust upgrade system that rewards those willing to fully commit to the game’s repeating optional challenges.

True to Ubisoft’s innovative vision, Rayman’s return offers more than just a classic multiplayer platforming experience; players will enjoy a wealth of cosmetic customization options that add a personal touch to every quest. Those looking to enhance their journey even further will have access to the comprehensive UbiShop+, with a variety of items that let players bypass some of the game’s more time-intensive objectives. With the return of Ancel himself, fans are sure to get a rich story delivered through seasonal updates, ensuring they’ll be coming back for more — long after they’ve seen the main plot to its end.

I played BO Cold War a few years ago, and was very disappointed in both sounds and visuals. It just wasn’t a well-made game on the technical level. The fire in a Vietnam flashback location looked like something from the 90s, a 2D model that was rotating to where I was watching it from. A rip-off for a full priced AAA game.

This was the last COD game I tried, I don’t bother anymore with the franchise.

Same. I remember Shadow Fall for PS4, looked absolutely amazing, but was quite forgettable. On the other hand, Horizon is extremely memorable, so it’s a good choice to focus on that.

True, but there are 2 sides to this: the majority won’t buy VR, unless there are enough games to play.

Studios should be actually investing and taking a risk, maybe it works out and becomes a big market, maybe not. If they keep going the current path, VR will forever remain an expensive niche gimmick. Which they seem to okay with.

I’m curious what people are hoping for. When was the last time Bethesda made a good game? I would bet maybe 5% of ppl working on Skyrim are still there. It’s unlikely they will be able to correct course, and we’ll get a new Starfield

There is also just tiny graphic improvements now, so for most people, 5 years old games look similar to what we have now
