I just checked and looks like I do too, and I didn't even know it. I wonder how many of those 25.4 million are in the same camp.

I seem to have put this on my wishlist at some point so I tried the demo, and loved it. The atmosphere is great and there's a ton of small detail everywhere and exploration feels satisfying. Definitely buying it. I'd recommend giving the demo a try if it looks at all interesting to you.

That's Trails, another Falcom series. These aren't really connected at all, some minor callbacks at best but every story is its own thing and doesn't require prior knowledge.

Bethesda under Dudd Howard is creatively bankrupt; I can't imagine ES6 being anything else than the exact same rote thing with new assets unless they boot him and bring back Julian LeFay or something. And it'll still sell 10 million copies in just preorders so whatever.

I'm wondering what information people are going off of that this will be a dumpster fire. Aside from a cringe first trailer, it looks pretty good. What am I missing?

A decade's worth of news articles of development hell, whatever progress they've made getting scrapped when they change directions, layoffs, people leaving, them scrambling to announce other people who are filling those roles, those people leaving, etc.

So that tells me that the game is bad how? That's practically half of games in development nowadays. If it's another Anthem-like disaster I will call it that when there's an actual game to play.

You asked what people are basing their skepticism on, and I told you. You can see development hell as a positive sign if you want, but it's blatantly disingenuous to claim that that level of development hell is some sort of a normal standard these days or at any point.

Feel free to type Dragon Age 4 and Dragon Age Dreadwolf into the search box of this very site and you should find plenty to give you pause.

Am I to understand that Prez has a particularly fine collection?

I've been too embarrassed to mention this before but I've always found him to be very charming and handsome Glasses

I hope Valve's latest vehicle for microtransactions is next, and they decide to give single player games a go again.

DE is an amazing game which just about everyone should at least try, but buying it now supports the businessman who stole the game from the people who actually made it. I'd just get the free version.

Not sure he really pioneered much except empty promises and marketing a fictional persona. Even that was probably mostly whatever PR firm used to employ, because the genius rocket boy image sure came crashing down fast once he started going off whatever carefully curated scripts he was handed and started airing his actual thoughts.

Fair enough. And I guess I'm finding myself in the position of defending Blizzard more than I'm maybe comfortable with largely because arguing online is such a deceptively easy thing to slide into, so I'll just agree that if there are things in the game that people genuinely in good faith find hurtful, it's of course worth addressing. Going out of the way to try to rustle up every little thing that someone might conceivably be offended about, whether they actually are or not, in order to raise their personal profile as a professional outragee for clicks and views and follows and book sales is a different thing though.

Most of those are seriously reaching, and just because they took some beats from existing cultures doesn't mean those races are a depiction of said people, it means that Blizzard can't come up with 20 distinct cultures out of nothing. The goblin thing is clearly offensive at least.

So how many of these examples are something that people from the cultures presumably being riffed off of have been offended about, or is it just heroic white people being offended on other peoples' behalf and not caring whether they actually are offended or not, which is pretty racist in its own right?

So she wants to "erase problematic races". For someone so concerned about optics that's a great way to word it. Is the undead community offended by their representation in the game or what?

I mean, you are aware of the huge abundance of racial stereotypes in the game, right? You might not find them "problematic" but you have to know they're there if you've played any Warcraft games at all.

I'm not aware of any racial stereotypes in the games, considering the only real world race in the game is humans, and I haven't noticed humans of different skin colors being depicted differently from each other. Are there things in the game that are also often stereotyped as aspects of real world cultures? Of course. Everything Blizzard has ever done has been copied from somewhere else, so it's not surprising that things that exist in the real world are going to end up there too. Which parts do you find offensive?

Most of the items listed relate to the console editions

Most of the items listed relate to all editions, those are just the two that are exclusively for the PC.

I'm not the greatest advocate of copyright law, but surely that sort of use needs to be licensed, and I doubt NYT released their stuff under MIT-0 or something.
If I read a bunch of NYTimes articles about the war in Ukraine, as well as a bunch of other sources, then write a summary of the war, is that a copyright violation?

I know you're trying to make a snarky strawman, but if you make a business out of copying said articles without coming to any sort of an agreement, then yeah, it probably is.

Holy shit, $40? And no upgrade for existing owners? This had better be MASSIVE.
Or you could pay $70 for a Diablo 4 mtx horse and some premium currency!

Why do that when I can pay $250 for an 18-inch plastic statue and 40-page art book to go along with my DLC?

You may think that's expensive, but good quality figurines of half that size tend to go for that much, without the game or the art book, so that's a bargain if anything :p

That's an EA\Ubi-level cash grab. Shame on you, Microsoft!

Is this some "thanks, Obama" joke? As if Bethesda haven't been the pioneers of cash grabs for a long time now. Microsoft didn't dream up horse armor, Microsoft didn't try to monetize mods, Microsoft didn't release and re-release Skyrim seventeen times, if it isn't even more by now.

I'm logged onto the Discworld MUD as I'm writing this. I guess some more modern ones could be nice too, even though they could never measure up to something that hundreds of people have spent 30 years building.
