Sakuna, of Rice and Ruins is about a goddess in a fictional but very shinto-adjacent religion in a country not quite, but not entirely unlike Japan. She’s the daughter of her pantheon’s God of War and Goddess of Harvests. She bashes monster heads and she sows rice, and both are important.

Fun and light-hearted, with a small cast of quirky likeable characters.

General opinion seems to be this is definitely a game.

Warner Bros is trying way too hard at this multiverse thing.

They did say that GOG didn’t mean “Good Old Games” anymore at one point, trying to change their image a bit, but even then they never really stopped doing that really.

They chased lost licences for a bunch of old CRPG, they made preconfigured DosBox packages for games that needed them…

They’d be crazy to stop that. As you said, it’s one of the things that set them slightly apart from the competition.

Cool declaration of intent, and they definitely do a lot for tweaking and packaging old games so they’re in a playable state.

But it’s a bit amusing to see The Witcher in there. I mean, yeah, I certainly hope you’re maintaining that one.

Isn’t that the wreck of a port with botched controls, horribly misshapen characters and “enhanced” textures that misspelled environmental text everywhere? Occasionally completely missing jokes by doing so?

Was it supposed to be fixed in any way at some point?

The quotation marks are a nice touch. Quality trolling.

Can’t wait for the Banjo-Kazooie and Minecraft skins.

And Metroid only had Samus Returns quite late in the 3DS’s lifetime, and absolutely fuck all on Wii U. Only virtual console.

If anyone even remembers it, no, Federation Force doesn’t count.

You’re paying for the better seed, obviously. Do you think random numbers come for free?

That’s okay, you can drop any pretense of trying to actually make a game around your crypto scam.

Congrats for banning two innocent customers for “security reasons” (apparently code for “your own incompetence”), that’s definitely the kind of thing you need to make your victims customers trust your shady bullshit.

The article is not about how the game shouldn’t be political (because this notion is absurd). It’s about how idiotic the treatment of the writer’s views is, to the point it feels like a parody of the statement they wanted to make.

The article is not about what you think it is about. Try reading it.

Cult of the Lamb has a blood moon ritual that makes everything gloomy and summons the ghosts of your dead followers.

You can harvest them for unique decorations.

The higher ups? Yeah, probably. This was clearly an attempt to embark their employees so they’d kickstart a hype. It didn’t work.

Ubisoft devs are probably mostly decent people, but the more we hear about the upper management, the worse.

There are 5 of them and they’re worth $63,000 because they said so. And they hope they can convince enough people of that so they can sell them quick and forget they ever existed.

Remember that time Ubi management tried to promote NFT to their employees and give some to them as a “bonus”? And then their own employees just told them to fuck off with that bullshit?

Ubisoft needs to crash and burn.

It was technically always licenses for every video game ever commercialised. It’s just that a publisher has no practical way to control what happens to someone’s floppy/optical disc/cartridge/whatever physical media.

Most sports gamers have very low expectations of what their game should be, often they barely buy any other video game, so it’s just a random money sink for them.

They don’t mind being fed the same crap with updated roster every year, and worse, lots of them probably don’t mind them becoming slot machines. Either because it’s their own unhealthy habit or because they are not using the ‘feature’ and not interested enough in the inner workings of games to see how harmful they are.

I mean, there were lots of multiplayer games when I grew up, before CoD or Halo, but still.

Doesn’t change that I dislike most of these.
