Orrrr it was a mid game with almost no marketing.

I’ve yet to see a single PS person excited about getting Starfield. At most, they’re like, “Oh, that’s nice,” and go back to doing other things.

I think they just forgot to capitalize the A. Whoops.

I feel like the endgame of this is that eventually all Microsoft exclusives will only be available on GamePass.

the one-dimensional specist asshole with absolutely no other character trait.

I used to think that about Ashley until I did what I nicknamed my Asshole Run. I was an Adept, so I usually had Ashley and Tali around me. I ended up listening to their elevator conversations, and Ashley treated Tali a lot differently than she did Wrex or Garrus (the ones she saw as a military threat) - she warmed up to her and treated Tali like a little sister. So when Tali died in that run on 3, Ashley was gutted and was crying when you go talk to her afterwards. Seeing her actually have a character arc made me like her a lot more.

Define “gamers,” because the metacritic user scores would argue your point.

Eh, it depends more on what you’re used to. I personally hate using a mouse and keyboard and greatly prefer a controller, and it’s not that different from other RPG games that use a controller interface. I’m used to a wheel interface from games like Mass Effect, so it’s more intuitive for me than a mouse and keyboard.

I feel like HFW kind of lost the plot when it introduced the Far Zeniths. They just didn’t work for some reason. I kind of wish if they were going that route, they had been the descendants of the people who left for Far Zenith and they had a better reason for wanting Gaia and Earth or something, so they weren’t just cartoonishly evil.

The only demo is on PS5 if you have a PS+ Premium. I’d suggest watching the first hour or so of a Let’s Play to see what the gameplay is like.

Larian didn’t lay anyone off. Hasbro, a completely different company, laid people who worked on DnD and MTG off at WotC.

It really has. It’s kind of depressing, honestly.

You…You might want to consider reading the article.

Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, who own DnD. Larian, a completely separate company, got the rights to make BG3 from Hasbro. Hasbro laid off nearly everyone Larian Studios worked with at Wizards of the Coast.

It’s such a good game; Xbox players, enjoy!

Absolutely no arguments with any of these. This really was a great year for gaming.

That’s the thing I’m most excited for, honestly.

Oh, thank goodness! I’ve been following this story and I’m so glad they’re all out.

I was talking just today with some coworkers about how having subscriptions instead of owning is what is normal to kids now - not just games, but things like Netflix and Spotify. So this doesn’t surprise me, but does depress me. Technofeudalism is the new normal.

Especially since the people who seem to complain the most never post anything themselves.

I read the article. I read everything I post first.

But don’t worry. I won’t waste your time by posting here anymore.

Well, I’m sad now. We really can’t have nice things.
