Wait, did he actually name it after snowcrash?

Glad to see a spot of hope in these dark times

Not even a good mmo either, RuneScape has more engaging combat now than dai. Story also isn’t as great as people say, there is no tension in the game, it’s entirely you stomping cory into the ground every single chance you get

Lol. Lmao.

Bethesda is impressively out of touch.

Haven’t heard a single person talk about it online, but i have heard someone talk about it in person. Which kinda says bad things to my mind. Like, to the quality not the profitability.

Ew wtf. That implies they are actually all in on NFTs for real.

Never use fandom, it sucks on every level.

I seem to remember some games from before the 2000s being really wild. Like, i remember playing this one street basketball game where you could just attack the other team.

Everyone does hate the art direction though, and that’s a lot easier to address. Not that pointing to a different game that might not ever even exist when this one flops is a very good way to address it.

Dude dark cloud would be soooo good! That game was absolutely brilliant!

A create based pack. Lots of spinny things for the intrepid builder

Positive reviews from people that were specifically selected and people who were bribed with given nice vacations trips out to demo the game in person and future access to their games a nice relationship with EA.

Man can i just say; fuck those right wing tourists? All their pointless screeching does is drown out actual criticism and give bad developers an excuse to ignore feedback. If they cared they’d actually have something to say, like how the combat shouldn’t be hack n slash and is uninspired even for a hack n slash.

Um… Literally everyone in the industry? It’s not a secret that access journalism runs rampant. if you need an individual just to look through Jim Sterling’s videos on the subject, she often talked about her time before going independent.

I know it sounds bad to say it now, but games journalism has always been terrible. You can find examples decades ago of access journalism and journalists who didn’t even play the games they reviewed. Sure, back then they were usually harsher than they should have been, but i feel like that was healthier for the industry.

Either they have an unshakeable faith in the game, or they have so little faith it isn’t even worth protecting to them. And i don’t see a reason to have faith.

Someone recently talked about the next mass effect, and honestly with the way this is going i think they should shelve that talk until they’re sure they aren’t going under. They clearly don’t have the talent/drive they used to have and EA has always been trigger happy.

Positive response? They obviously bought that, man.

Should have never even started such a mind numbingly stupid project. Shouldn’t have kept any assets either.

I feel that way only about the fan games tbh, i love the reborn series of games, but high level Pokemon really shows the holes in the system. Gamefreak meanwhile genuinely seems like they are bad at their jobs, and they certainly haven’t put effort into it in a long time.
