PR Guy: I dunno, boys, the headline 'Our boss is okay, you'd probably be fine sticking indie and not being owned at all' doesn't look... good. I'm thinking maybe we just... completely reverse that, yeah that's more like it."
Do we know how much they made with this loot box system in Austria? I can see just one Austrian whale paying more than the ordered €10,800 on loot boxes. I don’t see EA stopping if they’re still making a profit on these in the big picture, if they’re only losing some legal battles and being ordered to pay less than they made.
I’ve been watching a few streamers play this game, and the pixel art animations are honestly amazing. Every time a new cut scene is triggered it’s just delightful to watch.
I got Control: Ultimate Edition for $4 on sale recently and was really surprised by how good it is. One of the few games I’ve stuck with right through to beating it, and the DLC too. I’ve been considering Firebreak but the backlog is long and money is a little tight for frivolous promises right now. Sounds like I should play Alan Wake, though!
Its a cool game and there is really nothing like it but I won’t lie I hate actually playing it, the controls and gameplay are just meh and some of the bosses are ridiculous but the setpieces and everything else was top tier.
I liked Control but Alan Wake was a sludge. Its age really shows. That being said, it wasn’t necessarily bad enough that I couldn’t tank through the game, but if Control were in lower A tier, Alan Wake would be upper C tier
Best gaming news I’ve heard in a while. This was a fantastic new IP and really shows a lot of promise for future games. Really excited to see where they take this world.
Most of the third-party titles are yesterday’s games, as already mentioned, and the newer ones are still in development. Meaning, Nintendo’s games are pretty much doing all the heavy lifting. And given the price versus buying power ratio for some games, the launch comes off as a bit mid, to say the least.
Womder how it’d be if they didn’t include a cheaper Mario Kart bundle, as well. I had many people arguing with me that the price of MKW wasn’t $80 because of the bundle.
I look forward to all of the Fable ‘fans’ coming out of the woodwork to complain that the female characters and designs don’t look like porcelain anime supermodels. It’s going to be X-Men '97 all over again with a bunch of people that clearly weren’t ever fans of the original complaining about their “childhoods being ruined.”
I suggest that any and all one handed Gamers™ first take a look at the original character designs before opening their stupid mouths and complaining about the wOkE agENdA making characters uglier.
