Man… we’re really never getting a Titanfall 3, are we?

Fingers crossed that Rift gets a similar revival… the game whose initial success paid for Defiance in the first place

Escape will make me God

Other than the setting, this was the only reference to the original trilogy that I spotted, and man… the way it’s used here is just so disconnected from what made that line iconic and cool. I was cautiously optimistic before, but the media blitz they did today has completely killed any hope I had for the Marathon IP.

Dancing through the wreckage of a beloved Bungie IP, Durandal was laughing fuming.

Hades 2 is only console exclusive to the Switch 2; it’s also releasing on Steam.

I suspect that Nintendo is offering them more than enough money for exclusivity to make it no longer ‘questionable’ for Supergiant, at least from a financial perspective.

Shouldn’t you be laughing?

Yes, and lawmakers should also do away with all safety regulations! Workers can simply quit jobs that they feel are unsafe!

Did we watch different trailers? lmao

Adblockers are your friend.

In just 10 more years, it’ll only be 40 more years!

Only ten more years, and we’ll have it!

Do no harm (to quarterly earnings)

bundled a game pass subscription

Most of the money MS gets from Office365 is from business users, not home users. I have a feeling that trying to sell game pass to corporate clients isn’t going to be a huge hit…

This was inevitable as soon as games started getting the budgets of blockbuster movies. No one wants to invest that much money into a project without getting some oversight and control in return.

Of course, very, very few people who have access to that kind of cash have any design sense whatsoever, and even fewer understand the creative process, or what makes games “good”… so they ask for shit that they think will be “safe” money-makers, and we get what we get: endless, samey, soulless shlock.

The one advantage I can think of to this approach is that it makes it harder to “snowball”.

Civ VI had a big problem with this were you’d end up so far ahead by 1000 AD that you were all but guaranteed to win the game… but you’d still have to play through multiple ages to get to the end and there would be very little challenge left for the multiple hours it would take to grind through to the end. I think I got bored and just restarted more often than I actually finished games in Civ VI because of this.

If you have multiple soft resets along the way, I could maybe see that giving the devs some ability to reset the “power curve” periodically so that you’re always dealing with some manner of challenge as you move from age to age.

Pssh… at least finish a full game before you post a review!

Is there any case where cynicism is helpful?
