this fits the narrative nicely but im certain a 2 percent trade for increased profits is not a loss for them

I feel like I’m being gaslit into thinking there’s this huge outbreak of antisemitism when all I’m ever reading about is Muslims being murdered?? why are we constantly talking about antisemitism and only antisemitism

down by the river from baldurs gate should be on here lol that’s such an earworm

great list though!!

foreign governments yes (Saudi) but how does the US government benefit…?

Jesus christ the people on here are impossible to please !

this is just… not true or at the least extremely hyperbolic

then maybe this phone isn’t for you

haven and hearth but before they nuked the xp system 😞

F.E.A.R. and Penumbra

hmm i think we need twelve more articles on this

yes it is

in typical nintendo fashion the bar for hardware is on the floor

I like it!! and the bugdroid looks so adorable — I’m especially fond of his cute little light bulb form

I used to be close friends with one of their (founders?) back when he was younger

that sort of behavior used to run rampant on this video game forum we both frequented — he was always an interesting character to say the least. a shame what’s happening to so many young kids in need of mental help

have you seen what happens if you say you didn’t like it? you’re told you’re a troll, you’re negative, you “just don’t get it”, or they take your criticism and then act like the only alternative is the complete and total opposite of that and try and pull a ‘gotcha’

on one hand I would obviously LOVE for reviews (across the board, not just in gaming) to be realistic and not all be 7+/10 but I also understand why they don’t to an extent

i use word of mouth mostly but its not that all critics are bad, just what seems like most, but if you find that you consistently align with a critics opinion I’d trust them

big published reviews don’t mean anything to me and I’m surprised they do to most people. everything is an 8-10 out of 10. how do people not find an issue with that

I agree it was very boring and the writing in the intro was incredibly weak. Every time I expected that wow moment (helgen, opening the vault) i just found disappointment instead. “Wow a fight! oh I’m just randomly handed a ship? ok sick time to fly, oh it’s just fast travel. New Atlantis is about to be crazy, oh it’s just a bland city” and everything being beige didn’t help. Fallout has the cool roleplaying in the wasteland factor, Skyrim has the cool fantasy aspect, Starfield seemed to just be ‘space’ but other games (Mass Effect, Outer Wilds, hell even the first half of The Outer Worlds) did it better.

It seemed p clear they don’t feel the need to innovate or have any ambition because their dedicated fan base is so large now that they don’t really have to. Which is fine but wasn’t for me.

what lol — he doesn’t like starfield so that immediately means he doesn’t like science fiction games??

I’m a huge scifi and fantasy fan and I refunded starfield after 4-5 hrs

aw that’s a shame :/ I did read the article but was confused because I felt the kind of implied it was like e ink
