I'm mostly here to talk about games and related stuff. From AAA to Indie, west to east, Fast-paced shooters to visual novels, I play them all ;but I have enough self respect to not waste my time on live-service slops.

Take this a step further. Use your own mind to decide what you think of the game. Be it lit, sad, woke, rad, you decide that on your own. Not because you got influenced by people with a loud mouth online. Have some ego and self respect

Why tf is Doom The Dark Age 80 bucks (and equivalent regional price)!? I know answer is gamepass, but it will just lead to people like me ignoring the game altogether. Microsoft can be nice for the developers, but as a end user, I hate them as a publisher.

I am glad that there are 2 new Ninja Gaiden games, but having Microsoft as their publisher was the bitter part of the news. Not only MS feels like out of touch as a publisher, but it also makes physical release very unlikely.

This "book community" should probably find another hobby, as they are a failure when it comes to learning from the hobby. Even after following a hobby that's supposed to widen your world view, they still have a narrow and rigid view of games.

Why is #Xbox so bad at promoting their games. I rarely see their games being promoted as much as other AAA publishers. Avowed is supposed to come out in less than a month, but I had forgotten about it and barely see anyone talking about it.

Currently known list of #PlayStation Live-Service game effort. It was supposed to be 12 games released over the span of 2023-2026 iirc. Even if you ignore the pre-2021 and bungie games, it is more than 12. Seems like they went harder on live-service, and I don't see it ending well.

I see a lot of "game industry gurus" coming out of woodworks commenting on how Sony's pivot was necessary in today's market and a consequence of said market. The only thing I see is Sony mismanaging their studios in order to maximize profits, and failing miserably to produce anything worthwhile.

I hope anyone who announced anything #gaming related in the last 2 hours announces those things later again. The UD Movie trailer (not that interested) and The First Berserker demo almost slipped me thanks to Nintendo being discussed everywhere.

Time to download the demo for First Berserker: Khazan, and see Clive go from DMC, to Tekken, to Souls now. The trailers looked good, I hope the game plays good too.

Igniting revolution, civil disobedience, assault on authority, murder, forced captivity.... well more or less all crimes you can imagine in a fantasy war setting.

Seen a lot of discussion about this. To me it seems (In general, but there are exceptions.) like people who have been into games before the terms got popular in online discussion do not like them, and those who got into games in 00s and later are familiar with them. I fall in the latter category.

🎮 What's a game you'll never 🗣 shut up about? More people need to play this gem of a game.

It’s pretty much all mismanagement. Adopting new tech prematurely? Mismanagement. Changing creative direction in production? Mismanagement. Iterating on content 3+ times? Mismanagement. Adding major features in production? Mismanagement. Poor planning, failure to follow plans - all mismanagement.
