Combat looks a lot like folklore from PS3

I didn’t downvote but I disagree. It is nice to be able to roleplay your own character but I also like having well written established characters

Not as good as the examples you listed but subnautica imo

In case you haven’t heard of it, the scrubs rewatch podcast with Zach braff and Donald faison is pretty great and has a lot of behind the scenes info

Was happening to me for ~3 days but seemed to resolve a day or two ago. Using boost on android

I’m not saying I disagree but you are aware this is a season pass for post release dlc, NOT a battlepass like in live service games right?

I believe horizon FW is also on PS4

This article might be a bit late? Other news media saying the decision has been reversed already

Can’t comment on news, but the friends per second podcast has been my go to

If EA is willing to cut me a check for telling you that games are getting more expensive and take longer to make then tell me where to sign

It’s mind boggling when the costs of games get leaked (or revealed during court cases). It makes me sad that so many studios have pivoted to the strategy you’ve described because it means we’ll have less games of a franchise I enjoy since the development takes so long or the developement is never even started because people have decided the profit won’t be as high as making a blockbuster game. Hell, look at Rockstar milking whales with GTA V, that’s a slightly different conversation, but it’s crazy how long the gap between GTA V and GTA VI are

I get everyone’s sentiment here, boiling it down to “better games are better” but also keep in mind the development costs and times for making new games are constantly going up. Yeah of course there are fantastic indie games out there (and I love them myself) that have a fraction of AAA game budgets and dev time but those are the gems in the rough, not the norm.

I’m all for better gaming experiences but they do come with tradeoffs. Also, flops are now death sentences for studios so the pressure to perform is even higher

A bit pricier than the other options listed in this thread but I’m really happy with my glasses from warby Parker. I like having an in person store to try on frames and the customer service is pretty great

One of the funniest ones that happened to me was when I ran my cyclops aground in the shallows and I tried to deploy out of my prawn to push it but the hatch was right next to the seafloor so I immediately clipped through the ground while in my prawn and fell through the entire game world. Good times

As someone who played and enjoyed most of the PS exclusives, +1 for the take. What games do you think are “the best ones”?

There’s a few for me but I’m going to go with A Knight’s Tale and The Other Guys. Can’t get enough of those 2

I can’t personally recommend them yet but I’ve read great things about the lock on “magazines” (they look more akin to coffee table books) and have a set in my cart that I’m going back and forth on

Guilty pleasure one for me is burn notice. It’s so over the top but so much style and coolness

That’s not the conversation you initially raised but sure we can talk about that too. What they did was despicable and yet kotick is still there, and I want him and the others responsible brought to justice. He stands to be paid out millions when the merger is completed and that is rewarding him rather than punishing. The pessimist in me says that he will find another company somewhere willing to hire him because look at the disgusting things he’s gotten away with and subsequently rewarded for by being paid out. So yes I want them to be out of ABK but not with him getting another 0 in his bank account.
