… What?

I blame botw, everyone thinks they can squeeze out more play time for less effort with it’s open world/collection/crafting model. In reality it just makes the game slow, boring and unrewarding by introducing a shit load of pointless travel and breaking rewards in to shards

That and attention seeking through controversy

They aren’t as good as they used to be

Expedition 33 says there’s a big appetite for what final Fantasy used to be, but they just won’t rpg and have to make everything action for whatever reason. I blame Kingdom hearts.

The pixel remasters were terribly executed too. Way better than the mobile ports, but still awful compared to og, and weirdly inconsistent per platform.

The entirety of avengers was batshit crazy.

Point is, squeenix has many problems.

Don’t forget film grain.

I’d like a button to just disable all the post processing things at once

Forza hasn’t been an annual release for almost a decade

Workshop is kinda shit, I don’t even bother looking there. Just Google mods which 90% of the time winds up being Nexus

Didn’t forget loverslab

Indeed you should. Scummvm worked really well for monkey Island 3 on it for me

Think there was an extra step to put the hand on the broken grabber too right?

343 has no fucking clue what they’re doing and never have

My maaaannnn

And the series is worse for it

Their switch 2 games are pretty meh so far anyways, they’ve been on a downhill trend for a while

Mister mosquito

Shadow of the colossus

Robot Alchemic Drive

Dark cloud

Dragon quest 8

Super monkey ball

Twisted metal black

Soul Calibur 2

Final fantasy 15, crystalline chill. Can just leave that on repeat. Didn’t even like ff15

Nintendo knows they don’t have to give a shit

One of them being literally the exact same game they sold in 2020

The Tina dlc which has a standalone game is great. Even though it doesn’t make sense as a standalone since it’s a significant and well executed end to the BL2 story.

Wonderlands is pretty iffy though

The US patent system IS a colossal failure, of course it spits out failures

If you’re 12 I guess

Yeah they lost me on 6 and 7 looks to go even further in that direction

For expedition? Side content about doubles the length of the game, and all of it is doable before completing the story. NG+ is a thing and massively cranks the level of all enemies, but nothing else changes

If you’re worried about it, bg3 will give you more bang for your buck. Easy to get near 100 hours in the first playthrough and it has a ton of replay value. 33 you’ll prob get 20-40 hours depending on side content you do and it doesn’t have much replay value.

Speaking as someone who loved both and got 100% achievements in 33. Should do both though.

Looks like he left turtle Rock 3 years before evolve, so maybe there’s actually hope that he was part of what made l4d great, rather than whoever’s at turtle Rock since l4d wrapped

Yes

No, it wasn’t worth playing back in the day either though

Plus dlc and mtx nickel and diming, and special editions

Because it’s work and devs choose their battles…

Because money

Cod 2 is where it’s at. The smoke blew my mind back in the day

None, that’s not how you enjoy the medium. You don’t go to a museum to read books.

I’m not sure persona actually fits as AAA, it’s more like AA.

Jedi was alright, others on that list, meh…

I for one appreciate Ubisoft.

If they hadn’t fucked up so hard, their talent wouldn’t have quit/got fired in order to give us expedition 33

Bring back burnout

Have you played might and magic dark Messiah?

To be fair performance was poopy on ps5 too

Warner Bros games shouldn’t have any level of authority on anything

We probably wouldn’t have expedition 33 if Ubisoft gave people a reason to stay
