Someone should tell Tom Hall that "AAA" games are already homogenized. That ship sailed long, long ago.
Hard to think of a clearer example of management fucking up and workers paying the price than this Embracer saga.
I replayed it a few months ago with the Force Engine and had a good time. It does feel like another era, since it was, but it was still fun to play.
VC bait.
Is there a rule that every new Star Wars thing needs a cutesy companion?
Yeah people are way too emotional about this show. It sucks that Henry Cavill left (or was forced out, whatever) but maybe calm down and wait and see what happens. Season 2 wasn't that great, maybe season 3 with Cavill will suck before we even get to see the new Geralt, no one knows anything at this point.
No one will make a more faithful adaptation of Middle Earth than LOTRO. If Amazon were smart they'd acquire those devs and put them to work. But then they'd just fire them all after a couple of years anyway with nothing to show for it, Amazon being Amazon.

Nobody wants to interact socially with some cumbersome piece of hardware on their head, going to a huge amount of extra effort to do simple things in an awkward virtual place. It's absolute nonsense, just some geek fantasy, always has been, always will be.
The timing was off on Metaverse. If Meta had the platform ready with VR hardware on shelves BEFORE covid hit AND developed a 'killer-app' to capture people's attention during the upcoming lockdowns and social isolation... things would be very different today. But the pivot of Facebook to Meta came 18 months too late.
Virtual worlds have been "coming" for decades now. Where are they?
Dale Brown, not Dan Brown!

John Romero was honored with the Lifetime Making You My Bitch Achievement Award.
Your mom is right.
It's also "free" on Game Pass.
The legislative background to this is the classification rules are harsh on games that include stuff like sex or drugs as 'rewards' for actions. The rules state that anything 'interactive' has a higher 'impact' than the same content would have when non-interactive. That's been the case since the 90s. These rules are based on zero evidence 
It's real easy for those of us in comfortable chairs at our computers to insist that we starve millions of people to give them a kick up the ass so they'll go put their lives on the line to overthrow a government that will imprison and murder them before giving up any power. Easy to say, easy to treat human lives as pawns, easy to disregard the obscene consequences.
Aren't they supposed to be making System Shock 3?
Mooncrash is brilliant. I agree with the Skillup review, it's a much better timeloop game than Deathloop. Also worth pointing out that despite the timeloop similarity, Deathloop and Mooncrash were made by different developers in different studios, Deathloop in Lyon, Mooncrash in Austin. Unfortunately there are some good things in Mooncrash that the Deathloop devs apparently didn't learn from. Mooncrash has more variety and more freedom in completing the game, whereas Deathloop is a more tightly controlled puzzle with only one solution.

if only the center-right would start playing this ruthless about important issues like the left does.
I honestly think its time for a peaceful divorce. let all the red counties in America join together and reform the USA and let the blue mega cities continue down the toilet spiral. maybe china will sell them all food.
Quinn wrote on Aug 13, 2021, 14:48:Yeah a bit disappointing. Still, as long as this means it remains playable into the future it'll be worth it.
Hmm a "remaster" is stretching it. Even for remaster standards. This is basically a "it will work on current generation hardware" remaster.
