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.

The sequel hasn’t fallen through

Just a little hinamizawa virus, that’s all

Being crushed was a form of torture to force him to submit to a rigged witch trial. He just stood his ground (metaphorically) and asked for more torture.

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.

Then why play dragon age? I wouldn’t be happy if mass effect abandoned it’s fans to cater to my tastes, that’s fucked up.

Would it be better to become a darkspawn or die? Generally I’d prefer a series cater to the heart of the series instead of fuck off into an unwanted and disconnected direction.

A new era of bad games. Look at Pokemon, those games are almost always bad now, but because it’s already popular it’ll never improve or go away.

I feel like the story has good ideas but ultimately fails, personally. I like the idea of struggling against inevitable tragedy, but when the cause of such tragedy was against always immediately in arms reach of you and caused by a single person it falls flat.

Access journalism. If you agree to say whatever EA wants EA gives you first access to the next game, which increases your views. Idk the exact process for this game, but big publishers often bribe these reviewers with expensive vacations too (it’s why they fly journalists out to demo the game instead of sending the outlets a digital demo), Bethesda did it with 76 for instance.

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.
