What's the controversy? The dual protagonists that you're forced to play as? The death of a popular character?
I think it's a combination of what you mentioned, but also SST: Naughty Dog purposefully mislead the public before release by swapping Joel in for other characters in trailers (Jesse, for example), making fans think he wasn't the one whose death Ellie was avenging. Some people are even claiming it's "false advertising" which is just absolutely absurd. I for one am glad they did that.
TLDR: Gamers are a ridiculous bunch at times. And you're right, death threats (against her children, no less?!) are never acceptable.

At least it's not as two-faced and full of shit as the statement from the actual NFL.
Shameful league.

These kinds of adventure games really need a well written story. I never read much about them, I"m afraid that they may be cringeworthy and hard to believe? Is that the case? I
Personally, I thought Detroit: Become Human was great.
I'm also curious what state of EA this is in. Seems like it's probably getting close to being released.
I can't wait to play it, but I've been holding off. I didn't play the original Subnautica until release, and from what I've heard, that was probably the right call.

I don't know, given the replay value I feel like it's a great game at $60.
That's a good point. With the cast of characters, SD3 really did have a good amount of replay value.
D'oh. Double post.
Sorta makes me want to go back and play the English ROM translation of the Japanese SNES version.
I played a bit of the demo, and it looks pretty solid, but the voice acting in the Secret of Mana remake was rough (still finished it with voice acting turned off), and like you said, $60 is a hard sell.

Cool, I preordered because I'm an XCOM nut and this seems like a no-brainer for $10. Reviews seem pretty favorable outside of a few technical hiccups.
Yeah, I never preorder but I just did. For $10? Like you said no-brainer.
Hmmm, I was thinking of ordering a Switch. Possibly even this weekend.
Sounds like I might run into supply issues.

Tifa for sure.

You mean the PC Franchise that came out on PC's first and then were later ported to consoles? Not exactly the same thing. If you can find some numbers on the last Final Fantasy game that finally came out with a Windows Version let me know.
Pretty sure Witcher 3 came out on PC, XB1 and PS4 on the same day.
It was the Switch "lite" version that came out later.
Almost...but damn, 62GB is a tall order for a 5 day free weekend. And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't end up buying it in order to make the download worth it.
I think I read that Playstation has one year of exclusivity, then other platforms. I'm not sure if that includes PC.
I checked out the demo. Graphically it's obviously very impressive, and the switch to more active, action-type combat was probably the right move. The menu systems from the original probably wouldn't fly today.
Voice acting was pretty good for the most part. Badger from Breaking Bad does the voice for Wedge in the opening, which makes me happy.
I'm not thrilled that they're breaking the game into [three?] installments though. I may pass on principle alone.

Sure that wasn't just an email from Cutter?

Stupid is taking a response out of the context of what it's responding to. It was said they have no plans whatsoever to support the next-gen hardware based on one little snippet of this announcement, and I said that's jumping to conclusions. Assuming the delay is to align with the launch of said hardware is a similar leap.
Actually, fair enough. I suppose my response was more intended for McTurbo. You are correct, the comment you were responding to did make it sound like they have no intention of releasing on next-gen hardware. Apologies.

It'd probably take longer than that to rebuild and upscale it, plus the new Xbox is very specific about being backwards compatible so there's no true software difference, plus it would be a much smaller install base even if consoles have launched - games often release first on the old, then on the new.
That's what I was thinking. More likely we'll see a "remastered" or optimized version to follow on next-gen hardware. Not unlike The Last of Us, which released towards the end of the PS3's lifecycle.

Is placing your own emphasis on a word in that phrase your only evidence? Bit of a leap, there.
So, let me get this straight. You conspiracy theorists think they're delaying this game to September so that it can launch on next-gen consoles that won't yet be released?
Straight up stupid, there.
I thought the first episode of The Witcher was pretty good.
I'm trying to hold off on watching it too fast.
Polygon has a nasty review about it, so that's a good sign.
