This one did seem to come out of nowhere, and definitely seems a lot better than the common standard for games based off movies. The reviews are kind of in the middle, but given that’s been the case for prior Far Cry games and I’ve still enjoyed them, I wouldn’t mind picking it up.
Granted, not now…like everyone, I have a huge backlog and can’t justify buying a new game at full price.
If you think of it as an extension of the movies, then you know what to expect. Story wise, those are fairly mediocre (and this game is canon so expect about the same). Visuals are outstanding though, and I can’t speak for everyone but I’m really enjoying the gameplay and exploration.
It would be really awesome if Massive would have developed Skull and Bones, because I think with their expertise in mmo gameplay and engine development they would have given us something really great, instead of the frankenstein monster we have now.
But related to the topic, Avatar is easily the best looking open world game of this year and I look forward to their Star Wars Game game and the next installment in the Division!
The cost of doing business. They will continue to discriminate and it would still be profitable to them.
The judges in these lawsuits don’t seem to understand that it’s not just about paying money and damages back, but making it financially unsustainable to repeat the crime.
If it’s any consolation, there is now a system in place where average people have taken charge of handling shit like this because HR are too busy protecting the company to care. I’m not in AB, but I do know that the system exists and the people running that department give a shit about the people who have problems.
“£36.85m ($46.75m) will be shared between claimants who claim that they were unfairly paid, and £7.1m ($9.1m) will cover associated legal fees” That’s a pretty good chunk of discrimination there. Probably not a lot of money for the company, but probably a lot of claimants
By agreeing to the settlement, the CCRD’s case against Blizzard Activision will be withdrawn, with the former agreeing publicly that “no court or any independent investigation has substantiated any allegations [of] systemic or widespread sexual harassment at Activision Blizzard”. well, that’s some garbage.
I think there’s absolutely a space for an industry achievement/recognition award like the Oscar, Tony, etc. The Game Awards just seems like the most cynical attempt at forcing one into the video game space.
What I don’t get about all the criticism lobbied at The Game Awards is that other gaming award shows do exist, and have existed, but people don’t fucking watch them and then they criticize TGA for doing what other awards shows didn’t: get millions to actually watch it.
They have games on Netflix already that you play using your TV remote. They’re basically just choose your own adventure books, but in a TV show/movie format instead of a book.
There is also old crap like Doodle Jump, too, on other services that work on a TV using your remote.
There’s some you play on iOS already. For example storyteller and Into the Breach. It basically checks that you have a Netflix account and then you can play the game.
