I couldn’t agree more. Back during the initial pitches of the Steam Machines, I was a supporter of the concept and was looking forward to the release. In my market, they took a long time to release and ended up being stupidly expensive. To give an idea, in my market an i3-powered unit was expensive as an i7-powered one in the US despite not having that problem with PC components or even prebuilts. Eventually I spent the money on a parts to build my own rig that was significantly more capable than what the Steam Machine of equal cost would have been. I found little ways to make being a couch PC gamer viable without breaking the bank on horribly expensive niche products like lapboards and it’s enabled me to become a PC gamer despite having been a console boy for so long. It’s a shame because I think Steam Machines would make PC gaming so much more approachable to the average consumer (which I was at the time) and I hope they still manage to in the future.
This screams so damn fake. If they ever wanted to make a good game, they should have made it before releasing it, let alone prioritising DLC for a game they are more than aware of being borked at release.
I know. I’m personally looking forward to WB declaring bankruptcy now that the morons have announced they’re doubling down on shitservice despite Hogwarts and Shiticide Squad showing what the public actually wants.
Yeah, I’ve been able to find a post on Twitter as their current situation which isn’t much, unfortunately. I know it’s really shitty to make this about me or even other fans in a similar situation but as someone who stopped watching RT something like 5 years ago when all of the big changes started happening and multiple new hosts I didn’t like, came back when F*ckface took over the Let’s Play channel and started making more of the type of content I used to love so much only for them to get shutdown (and not even know it was coming) sucks so freaking much. Hell, they’ve only just posted the first video of a month’s worth of content. It’s shit like this that makes me absolutely loathe the corpo scum.
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. 3 and VC are good but SA just puts them to shame in scope alone and I think it had a better story.
Other than that, like many are saying, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper, Shadow of the Colossus. Prince of Persia The Sands of Time. The whole trilogy if you can but I think the first was the best with The Two Thrones coming in at a close second thanks to improved mechanics and the banter between characters feeling more confident. Oh, and Spider-man 2. It’s still the gold standard for webswinging for a reason.
More because I don’t believe a single word that comes out of Bugthesda and the fact that what they made was their same old shit but even more tedious somehow. It’s not about denial, it’s about Todd Howard being a pathological liar.
