The fact that the whole company, one of the largest gaming machines in the world, depends on how many idiots and teenagers they can con into buying soccer player loot boxes every year in their same-as...

@stickemup: I get what you mean but it’s not the same issue. RPG is a clearly defined genre. And roleplaying and playing as a character are two different things. Roleplaying means you decide who your ...

@tommytong: you can call Bioshock a shooter all day long, it’s still not an immersive sim. The fact you think it’s more shooter than RPG (for me it’s both) only means it’s even farther away from the d...

@mogan: I think they meant Larian itself subcontracting someone else to do DLCs for them

Immersive Sim is not a genre. Prey is a survival game, Bioshock is an RPG. If you throw "immersive sim" on Steam, the games with this tag range from NBA 2K25 to Farming Simulator to Disney Dreamlight...

@tajimoto: there's a whole article on gamespot about that

@mogan: that's still head and shoulders above the Mass Effect Collection, which is just a remaster on the same engine, with just a bit of improved textures and some QoL changes to ME1 for it to feel m...

I don’t understand why Bethesda themselves are calling this a remaster. It’s a complete rebuild of the game in a new engine, with more than just some QoL fixes. It’s a proper remake

@illegal_peanut: wow, in the ranking of unpopular opinions yours will hang very close to the top, right next to whoever says “I love EA” or “the soundtrack of Emilia Perez is great”

@dushness: you just won the Emmy of best comment in social media, in the Gaming category

@sippio: I’d say they did Oblivion first because it sold better. But they would do Morrowind next for sure

These are the longest patch notes I’ve ever seen, damn

@tommytong: it is exactly a family platform? It’s a console the whole family can play at home (while Sony and MS generally favour adult gaming) and that the kid can even take to school and play in the...

@kytfhcgiugylrye: …that’s his point?

I hope Morrowind comes next. And I also hope Bethesda stops this shadow dropping thing. It was a disaster for Hi-Fi Rush and for Tango itself

“ Xbox Games Showcase Announced For June 8, Here's What To Expect”Apparently, that it will be held in “more than four” languages, since you didn’t comment on what (content) to expect

@atony: this is written literally everywhere in the comparison though

@xnshd: the only reason MS and Sony sell at a loss is that this is the optimal strategy for them to maximize profits. They don’t do that because they’re nicer than Nintendo. They calculated how many m...

@Baconelite: why would Microsoft be unaffected? The Xbox is not made in USA, with components from the USA
