@masterchief: I just randomly came across the wired review earlier. Disgraceful unprofessionalism.
@sadraiden: Can you give me an example of these "horrendous views" that JKR has? I'm genuinely asking as all I really know of is her comments on women's toilets and sports being restricted to biological women........... which makes a lot of sense to me 🤷🏼♂️
I thought it was good but not crazy on some of the casting. The actress playing Tess just doesn't seem right for the part at all, and I just couldn't warm to Ramsey as Ellie, although she wasn't in the episode for very long so I could change my mind. And are there no spores in the TV show? 🤔 Bit odd changing that up.
Was about to post the same thing until I saw your comment. The likes of MS, Amazon and all these other billion dollar companies laying off thousands of staff to cut costs because growth has slightly slowed down is despicable. And what better way to make the possibility of recession a certainty than putting thousands of people out of jobs.
Elden Ring has amazing artistic direction, but it looks like it could run on PS360.
A lot of the dialogue and vocabulary with the younger characters really didn't suit the tone of the game too. Thrud just came across as a stereotypical American teenage girl which kinda pulled me out. Then Atreus using certain slang terms like "no shit" just really felt out of place in the game. A minor gripe, but did break immersion from time to time for me.
IK+!! That brings back some memories.
Nintendo is primarily marketed towards children, and there's hundreds of thousands of children born every day that in a few years are going to be mesmerised by all the bright, wonderful colours and cute characters in Nintendo games, then won't stop annoying their parents until they get them a Nintendo. They're getting them young. The same reason Disney has become the behemoth it is. Children is where the money's at.
Elden Ring soundtrack is brilliant, but the score for Ragnarok is on another level.
Completely agree, very unprofessional and just shouldn't engage. On the other side of it, what a sad state we're in that they felt the need for a formal apology over calling someone something as juvenile as milkshake brain. It's not like he was told to go eat shit and die.
I thought the same thing when Disney bought Star Wars. With the source material and how beloved it is, surely they couldn't f*ck it up, but now the whole franchise is a dumpster fire.
Do you honestly believe this will stop people cheating Jin?
@SonyStyled: I think it was almost 6 months after the PS3 released in Japan before it was available in Europe. If I remember correctly, it was delayed twice? When they announced the second delay, I went out and bought a 360, as I'm sure many others did. It was a disaster for Sony.
The map was designed badly and an absolute pain to navigate from what I can remember too. You ended up having to go to the same few places all the time and there was a huge inaccessible area between them that you had to go around.
It definitely had the best physics system of the entire franchise, but a lot of the mechanics took the enjoyment out of it.
@Noskypeno: At the rate AI voices are advancing, you honestly won't be able to tell the difference. Just check out some of the Synth V stuff on YouTube. There's some examples you can find that you'd swear was a real person singing.
Wow. This looks unbelievably bad.
That sounds like the worst book ever.
Who'd have thought a game franchise built on frat boy culture would crash and burn when they removed the frat boy culture. I hope R* are taking note.
And unfortunately, this is exactly where R* is headed with GTA VI.
@Elda, everyone knew Ellie was gay long before part 2 came out and no one had a problem with it.
@Snookies: I think from a tech and gameplay perspective, the game is astounding. Unfortunately for me, I didn't find any of the new characters they introduced likeable nor memorable. And the more the narrative blatantly tried to force me to like them in the second half of the game, the less I cared for any of them.
The GP model with big budget games releasing day one isn't sustainable. Sure, it's great now, because MS are throwing all kinds of money at it, but inevitably it's going to come to a stage where something has to give. Studios will start seeing budgets slashed or there'll have to be an increase in subscription prices. Neither solution will benefit developers nor consumer.
