Jason Schreier reduced to stealing scoops from the chuds without attribution and quoting press releases. So what is the purpose of a "games journalist" now? That's a rhetorical question. I know it is hating on gamers and shilling for the establishment.

NFS Died to me after Hot Pursuit 2. I understand many people loved Underground but it does not represent what NFS used to: Racing unattainable, expensive and exclusive cars on scenic routes. And not ricing up your Ford Focus then pretending to be fast and furious. The only game that was...

How can you miss out on something that will only become more available as time goes on? I always get my upgrade around the middle of the life cycle. And I'm probably skipping the 5xxx series just as I did with the 3xxx. I'd probably have skipped the 1xxx too, had my 980Ti not died prematurely.

The dozens of games that they haven't been able to mod yet outside of basic in memory texture swaps says otherwise.

If sanity would prevail they would get burned. But I guess the economy is not so bad if so many are willing to pay double for an already $2000 video card.

I hope you're right, but if the assets are encrypted there is not much that can be done.

After looking further into it, it seems like this is more an extensive customization app, than actual modding. They are probably opening some development tools that they streamlined. It seems this app will be exclusive to EGS, but the uploaded and approved "mods" will be available in the steam...

I'm not liking this: Meaning the only way to install mods is through their system? I hope this is just an option and not an attempt at censoring mods they don't like.

Apparently youtube are now deleting Japanese videos critical of the game as "hate speech". While their official twix account blocks everyone who is critical. When public opinion is so much against you wouldn't it be better to address it instead of trying to ignore it? Ubisoft is running at a...

Depends on what do you consider a lootbox, since technically when you loot any chest or npc in an RPG it is a lootbox. But if you literally get an item called "lootbox" in your inventory that only decides what will be in it when you open it, that's cancer even for free.

And you need to go back to Quake 2 for a single player one. As one of the few people that actually liked Unreal 2, I wish for a proper single player Unreal even more.

Blizzard is just learning that lesson now the hard way as Marvel Rivals sucked away Overwatch players. Time for the industry to realize that live service / microtransaction games compete for a limited playerbase's attention. While single player offline games can coexist without sucking the life...

Development costs went up, but also did reach, likely by a similar magnitude. But at the same time manufacturing and distribution cost went to almost zero, since most games are sold digitally now. I think this alone compensates for the effects of inflation. While great games could get away...

I own a bunch of DVDs too but I don't think they are ever getting out of their cases again. I haven't even had a DVD player in over a decade. Swapping discs after a few episodes is one thing, it is the endless logos and copyright warnings that do my head in. And they dare to say piracy is not a...

How come nobody told me this before? There aren't even common characters?

Quake < Doom < Quake 2 < Doom II is how I'd rank the games. I could never get into the modern ones. Doom 3, Quake 4, the new Doom 2016 were all misses for me.

I purchased all of one BD product, the entire series box set of the BSG remake. But if I actually wanted to watch it I'd probably just grab a torrent instead. As for recordable media, I never even seen one in person. 25GB was so insignificant by the time it became widely accessible that I never...

It's so convoluted not even those familiar with it agree on the order of things. If you ask an FF fan where is a good entry point they'll suggest games even the remakes of are so outdated they belong in the previous millennium.

This is one of those IPs that seemingly has no beginning or end. As someone unfamiliar with it, I have no clue what's going on with all these numbers. And if that wasn't confusing enough there are multiple distinct games under the same roman numerical, like here.

90° + 90° = 270° What's funny is how every outlet just reposts the press release without stopping to question the claim.
