Guest, do gaming w Vampire Survival Game V Rising Launches Into 1.0 This May Before It Hits PS5 Later This Year

With remarkable attention to nuance, these works evoke both laughter and pet portraits sentiment. They're also perfect conversation starters.

Call me when EGM and GamePro mags are a thing again.

EGM will always be my favorite vide game magazine. I like Game Informer, had a subscription back in the day, even had a subscription last year before they shut down. But GI is no EGM. Wish they’d come back, too.

Neat! Sounds promising. Funny, I was just telling one of my friends about G4 (the channel) today. I miss that 2000s/early 2010s vibe. Everything just went to major commercialization too fast and it took so much fun out of the hobby. I think gamers are recognizing this nowadays and trying to claw their way out of it and this feels like a step in that direction.

This got me thinking about Computer Gaming World and how, even if they came back, it probably wouldn’t be the same since they likely would not have any of the same reviewers, editors, etc.

Used to love CGW. One of the few review publications I’ve ever read that actually managed to be objective and not just be based on subjective feelings. Like, I remember one for an RTS and the review author opened by stating they are not personally a fan of RTS games and yet still gave the game a fair (and high scoring) review for its presentation, systems, lack of interfering bugs, etc.

Doesn’t ring a bell for me. Is it a good gaming news site?

Areldyb,

It once was. Sounds like it could be again!

t3rmit3,

It was the game news source in print media, for many years. It often used to come with demos on a CD in the back of the magazine, so it was also the best way to try games for yourself.

I don’t think they’ll ever get back there, if only because honestly having a magazine to read was better than a website, imo, but I’m always tentatively hopeful to have another reputable news source in the gaming space.

Transtronaut,

It should also be mentioned that it was owned by GameStop, so back then it was not completely independent. Sounds like that aspect is different this time around; should be interesting to see how things unfold.

t3rmit3,

I was going to mention GameStop (I think most of us got it for ‘free’ with our GameStop trade-in subscription thing), but I couldn’t remember if it was always owned by them, or if they just bought it after it was big.

PrivateNoob,

Ahh that explains why it’s foreign to me. I thought it was a small but highly esteemed review studio 5 years ago or sm. Thx for the info!

Transtronaut,

Finally got around to reading the article, and this part was a pleasant surprise:

…there’s a lot more on the way in the coming weeks, including the return of Game Informer’s print magazine. Our intent is to bring back the magazine bigger and better than it was before, and add a host of membership and subscription benefits, including an expanded scope to our videos, streaming, and feature coverage, while also broadening the range of experts and partnerships we tap to bring you those perspectives.

To your point, it remains to be seen if they’ll succeed, but it sounds like they are at least trying.

Psythik,

I’m guessing you’ve never been to a GameStop before? They were always trying to upsell you a magazine subscription at checkout.

PrivateNoob,

Nope. I have never even seen a GameStop in my country + I was growing up in a time when buying games digitally became the norm.

Let’s get another competitor for 7GN and GameSpot

Isn’t Gunzilla Games the company that released a bitcoin miner disguised as a mobile game? I swear I remember seeing something about them being banned from the various app stores for trying to bury miners in their shit, but a basic google search didn’t find anything.

Edit: It looks like they’re trying to use blockchain to mint in-game items as NFTs.

I hope they can rebuild. GI was a major pillar of game news for so long.

Oh that “free” magazine that I was forced to purchase if I wanted full price for my GameStop exchanges or purchases?

Oh well.

Sad to see it go. I was a subscriber to print for a time around the mid-to-late aughts and more recently have had them in my RSS feed.

It's no surprise that Bungie were going to end up worse under Sony.

Eggyhead,

Sony was dumb for buying them when they did. Bungie was already kind of in a downward spiral and giving them all that funding just gave them a much nicer toilet for the flushing.

I bought destiny 2 and a bunch of the DLC last year to see what it was all about and it was just a confusing, miserable mess of an experience from start to finish. Well, assuming it was start to finish. I still don’t know where the start was or what the hell was going on. I felt dumb for buying it.

warm,

Yup. Sony scammed themselves really with that one.

Destiny 2 is hard to get into as a new player, they kind of deleted all the initial story, so you kind of just get thrown in at the end now. Bungie never knew what to do with that game, they changed stuff randomly and could never decide what system they wanted.

The thing is though, it's a very fun and fluid shooter, the core gameplay is some of the best out there, it just sucks the content gets repetitive and the DLCs are all overpriced.

Eggyhead,

Oh yeah the gameplay and the environments made me really want to get into it more than anything else. I just couldn’t figure out why I was doing all this stuff or why I’m supposed to care about some dead character who I never met.

warm,

Just gotta ignore the lore unless you watch videos on it. I suppose you have to make your own goal in that game, there's no set ending, you just grind until you are bored of it.

I really like the teamwork activities, raids etc. They added a really fun exotic mission which you can only duo, but the community complained you have to communicate with a partner, so probs wont get anymore of that ahaha.

    Sony has owned Bungie since 2022

    sp3tr4l,

    … Bungie split off from MSFT in 2007.

    Kind of the whole reason the Destiny games exist.

    Dudewitbow,

    bungie hasnt been affiliated with microsoft for almost 2 decades now.

    the whole point of destiny was microsoft wanted them to keep working on Halo, but they wanted to work on something else, so they bought their independence
