- Comment on Starfield PS5 players demand refunds, reporting widespread bugs and glitches that leave the game "unplayable" 1 day ago:
Are they buying it though? Or are they just playing on Game Pass and cancelling again?
I think MS bought them for what they publish (id, Arkane, MachineGames, etc) rather than what they make. With MS taking over publishing duty, Bethesda Studios could be a lot closer to the chopping block than they think. It’s been a long time since Skyrim (close to 15 years at this point), and even big studios only get so many tries to get lighting in a bottle again.

They’re still in an Xbox 360 mindset, in a world where Baldur’s Gate 3 and KCD2 exist.
Action gamers are spoiled for choice. RPG gamers are spoiled for choice. I just don’t see where Bethesda’s “here’s a wonky game engine and a big map” approach fits in that.

What’s with the Jimmy Savile paedo look? That’s got to be on purpose, right? Has he just watched 28 Years Later and not realised where it’s from?

Of all the places that give a shit about oil spills, I don’t think the Middle East is one of them.

I dunno, there’s been some pretty fucking bad genocides about the place over the years, as well as shit like Stalin and Mao.
When it comes to killing other countries people, they might be.

I tried to get 28 Days Later when it came out and ended up watching a movie about Sandra Bullock in rehab.

You missed Jason Statham’s Shelter, starring Jason Statham.
It’s completely fucking shit, feels like it was written by AI, and feels like it was acted by one as well.

- Comment on PS6 and Xbox Project Helix "will start at a 50% higher price" than PS5 and Xbox Series X, predict analysts following Sony price hike – and $999 "is not impossible" 2 weeks ago:
I agree, from MS point of view.
But people around here were very excited a few weeks back when it got announced, and were convinced it means they’ll be able to play their Steam libraries on it.

No, they said it would run PC games.
Whether that means Steam remains to be seen.

- Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC 2 weeks ago:
Well for a start that’s the PS5 Pro and absolutely nobody is buying that.
That would be like me saying you can’t make a gaming PC without a 5090.
- Comment on Confirmed: PS5 console prices are being raised by $100 | VGC 2 weeks ago:
The PS2 launched at £299. Got reduced to £199 the week the Xbox came out (and stuck the nails in the coffin just as it was being born) and finished somewhere around £79.
If only there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you left them.

It was just a regular walking sim. Didn’t really do a lot that other walking sims didn’t.
If your game doesn’t feature shooting, platforming or sportsball, then you’re already off the mainstream slop, and you’re going to have to accept that you’re going to make less money by targeting niche audiences.
FWIW, I liked it. But I can see why a lot of people wouldn’t be interested. You’re dealing with a world where people’s “game collections” are just 6 yearly iterations of CoD and FIFA.

Many years ago, I went to some stately home National Trust type place with my missus.
At one point she “had to go”, so we ran to the toilet and she was in there for ages.
Eventually she came out. “Go, go…” she ushered me away.
Behind her another woman was coming out. She looked like a picture of a WW1 soldier that had just been mustard gassed.
I’ve never been more proud.
- Comment on DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH - PC Version Launch Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, there’s quite a lot of that.
It’s basically an unholy hybrid of Metal Gear Solid, Euro Truck Simulator and QWOP.
It’s standard Kojima fare. Bonkers story, badly written women, and sad music. It’s really Reedus, Mads and Troy holding the games together.
- Comment on DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH - PC Version Launch Trailer 4 weeks ago:
Honestly didn’t like it as much as the first one.
Better combat but worse story and an over-reliance on vehicles.
Sure looks nice though.
