21·23 days ago$60 for the first game is kind of a crazy price.
Technically it’s possible, but the article includes the transcript that Druckmann himself posted, so that would mean he is faking a transcript to call out Sony’s edits to what he said.
No, it just shows that we shouldn’t trust everything published by a company.
“Not trusting” is easy but not especially useful if no one is attempting to figure out the truth.
Without journalism (or just a third-party in general) providing perspectives and communication in some way, you are relying primarily on the information coming directly from the companies themselves.
In this case we see that Sony was willing to fabricate quotes about an interview.
I guess it’s good to show contempt for your audience…
I don’t know. There have been plenty of times I’ve wondered if people in gaming communities actual enjoy games at all, instead of just talking about how bad they are.
Maybe they are just tapping into that market?
That’s why my favorite book is Moby Dick. No froo-froo symbolism, just a good, simple tale about a man who hates an animal.
Agreed, ads are not the answer. Paying for content is the answer.
But people want their content to be free, while also being angry that their free content contains ads.
We also need people to realize that it’s not sustainable to expect free content while running an ad-blocker.
Wakestones are limited without microtransactions
But not that limited, you can find the shards and even wakestones from playing the game. Even the MTX alone you can only buy 5 max, which isn’t enough to ever make a difference in the game.
All of which just happens to encourage mistakes that can only be fixed using items which are very limited without microtransactions.
This isn’t true.
Bummer that we have to wait on the patch for the Xbox version.
I’m going to be honest, I have a hard time reading any usage of the word “gem” as something other than sarcasm these days, haha.
Always interesting to read about some of the specific considerations to go into features that may not seem that complicated at first glance (especially to the layman).
The appearance change item can be purchased in-game and portcrystals are also findable in-game. So, at best, these items provide a small “headstart” to someone playing the game from scratch.
If anything, the biggest issue is that they are kind of a waste of money.
Sounds like a accurate sequel to me, haha.
Though the micro transactions seem pretty innocuous to me?
Looks like the character limit is too low to include all the current reviews.
Do we believe them?
Is there any specific evidence to support EAC being the issue?
However, there is still no release date or even release window for Star Citizen 1.0. CIG will share the roadmap later this year.
12 years in and the update is that a later update will announce when they may, or may not, release the game.
This is, and always has been, the issue regarding this game. Even putting aside the budget they’ve burned through to date (which is impressively massive), the fact that they are still unsure of when they think the game is done is mind-boggling.
Years ago, I thought I was being relatively pessimistic that the game may take until 2023-2024 to release. And here we are in 2024 with the “release date will be announced later” updates still coming.
I wouldn’t say I necessarily have favorite developers, since I’ve rarely played and enjoyed more than a single game from a developer. At least before that developer is closed or morphed into something else.
Currently, I would say Bethesda is probably my only favorite “developer” currently going. I actually enjoyed Starfield quite a bit and have enjoyed their games going all the way back to Morrowind. Not to mention, there still isn’t anyone else that has managed to act an alternative to their style of games.
Beyond them, I’m wracking my brain trying to come up with another developer that is still putting out games and that I would classify as a “favorite developer” and not just “a developer who makes one game I like”.
Edit: FROM Software, that’s what I was probably trying to think of. I’ve definitely enjoyed quite a few of there games.

I’m sorry, I just find it funny that you walked back the “I’m done with Youtube” claim in the very next sentence.
