Which is a third of what Embracer paid for Gearbox.
Interesting piece to note.
Also, Sweet baby Inc.? MORE LIKE SHIT BABY Inc.
Oh and BTW, there’s ||forks of Yuzu called Sadachi, and Suyu. Truly Koizumi needs to die just as Shinzo Abe did. Konami is too focused on Mobile games, but at least they don’t kiss ass to (((Blackrock))) nor Shitbaby as much as post-2014 or 2015 Square Enix and Soyny do. God of War should have ended with 3 on the PS3. ||

I guess being triggered into seizures by Hogwarts Legacy was so fun that journos had to find a way to do it again. They’re recycling the LITERALLY KILLING PEOPLE line for Stellar Blade.

Do we have an ‘Unpopular Video Game Opinions’ thread? (And should we?) I don’t think we do, so I’m just going to crosspost my recent addition to Derpi’s ‘Unpopular Video Game Opinions’ thread right here:
In spite of the mediocre critics’ scores, I thought Over the Hedge was a great game. A mediocre movie, but the game made it much better by actually letting you participate in the heists instead of just watching them.
(It also picked up where the movie left off and continued on with its own increasingly ludicrous adventures.)
Who doesn’t love breaking into people’s houses and stealing obscene quantities of junk food while fighting mind controlled rats?

If this rumor is true, Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League will be ending service in early 2025. Even Marvel’s Avengers lasted three years, and that was already regarded to be a historic failure shortly after launch.

Yesterday Nintendo shut down the Internet Connection for both the the Wii U and 3DS.
Sad indeed. At least there’s Riiconnect24, Wiimfi, Altwfc, and XLink Kai for Wii, and DS/DSi systems (DS systems being compatible with only the first 3 aforementioned services).

Star Wars: Outlaws is shaping up to be a complete mess. It’s a single player AAAA priced game with a season pass that’s always online and comes with Denuvo. It’s also a Ubisoft game, so it’s not exactly breaking new ground to justify that $130 package.
Normally it would just be another quiet flop like Ubi’s last Avatar game, which was already on sale less than two weeks after release. But Ubi made their girlboss protagonist look like a 14-year-old boy with a mullet, so media outlets are already gearing up to die on this hill.

Gee, hopefully they can beat SSKTJL’s WR of shortest lived live game ever. It’s not something to be proud of but it’s a record. I don’t get why they bother scanning a model when they keep uglifying them later. It’s an insult that you paid for their face they worked so hard on only to have it bastardized. Those women don’t go through many treatments and live a healthy lifestyle for nothing you know.

Ubi got into trouble with customers over Star Wars Outlaws again. It turns out that the official story trailer was a little misleading. Despite the Jabba stuff looking like it’s core to the game, it was revealed that the Jabba story is paywalled behind the season pass. In essence, the ‘official story trailer’ is actually an advertisement for DLC. The cheapest package that offers access to the story trailer content is $109.99 USD.
Despite being single player, Star Wars Outlaws is an always-online live service game. Ubisoft is the very company that said gamers need to get used to not owning the games they buy. They delisted The Crew, and now even physical copies don’t work anymore because it was an always-online live service that they shut down. Why anyone would ever buy anything from Ubi after that is beyond me. Even if this game had a chance in Hell of being good, it’s obvious that they’re just setting up to take it away later. That’s an up to $130 purchase pulled at their whim, no refund, no recourse.

It’s safe to say that after SSKTJL’s disaster. It’s clear that this kind of games can’t be done better. It’s doomed to fail and they don’t see that. They’re blinder than an actual blind person.

It seems that the recent Pokémon Go avatar update controversy has been caused by Niantic signing up a Sweet Baby-esque lgbt consulting company called GaymerX.

Greaaaaat. I gotta tell the guys behind the Anti-SBI group to add that group to the list too. Actually what other factions are out there besides those two? And why do consulting companies even exist?
Fun fact, the OG avatars were designed by someone behind the famed Fire Emblem series. So, obviously a Japanese designer made them, and we love and respect their art and culture. So, by doing this, they are disrespecting Japan. Which means they’re racist and xenophobic to us and them normies.
