Lucas did unspeakable things

You can praise the quality of Sony's games while still fairly criticizing them, and you can also do the same for MS and Nintendo. We still have the PS3 Store because many fans like myself were willing to criticize Sony even when others made excuses.

I'm a PS guy but the upgrade fees are obviously not necessary when you look at the amount of free upgrades we've seen (Metro Exodus, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, FF7, Miles Morales, Borderlands 3, Crash 4, Doom Etern...

Not really. A Goddess Of War could be less proportionally bulky and heavy than Kratos, and could perhaps move and strike faster instead.

We've already seen stuff like this before, e.g. the differences between the Big Daddy and the Big Sisters in the Bioshock games.

The word "pandering" gets thrown around a bit too casually. I doubt a female playable character would happen until at least GOW3 anyway if it even happens. They'll obviously m...

Looking at the graph, the Switch was starting to surge upwards while the PS5 line is much more consistent (every bit of stock is selling out as fast as it's available). Looking at the PS5's trajectory on that graph, the Switch might temporarily pass the PS5 if PS5 stock doesn't improve.

I'm sticking to my prediction from a few months ago that this will be the PS5 PS Plus game for September (the September 3rd release date is suspicious), so if you have PS Plus you probably won't need to pay for it.

Yeah, to be fair, that footage you're sharing looks a lot better.

The game has a very clean look and that's kind of ruined by the video compression in the N4G video, e.g. at 0:10, the Needler and wall textures look pixelated as a result.

My only real complaint is that the feedback when you shoot other players (e.g. low shield energy) isn't as visible and satisfying as the Bungie games.

It probably just means that it has the same amount of maps and other content at launch as old COD games, or not quite as much. lol.

We already know it sold 6.5m (recent report). This is just a fun stat. You'd only have a point if they were hiding sales numbers but they're not so why even complain?

It can be argued that this behaviour is reflective of their work culture to some extent, and that he felt more comfortable doing this because other employees were getting away with sexual harassment.

Remember, this is the same place where women were allegedly being groped, and a nude picture of a woman was shared between colleagues who they sexually harassed before she killed herself on a company trip ... where her boss brought sex toys to use on her (documented by police)...

Agreed. Musk personally pays almost no taxes (e.g. no income tax in 2018) despite his companies receiving billions in government subsidies, tax breaks and contracts, and being a billionaire himself. Not wanting to pay this "global tax on the internet" is just an extension of his greed.

While a reduction in this fee would benefit indie developers and small companies, you're right - he isn't thinking about normal people anyway.

Seriously, are we so far removed from Ubisoft actually making good games that people now praise Watch_Dogs in retrospect?

"Watch_Dogs has remained one of my favourite games of the last ten years." Jesus Christ.

"I think the shit talk is a sign that they are leaving Ca after the settlement."

Infinity Ward, Treyarch and Sledgehammer Games are all located in California. They won't be leaving. haha. It would destroy their yearly rotation (Modern Warfare 2 will be huge next year), Warzone and the entire franchise.

It's obvious that the "shit talk" is just putting on a brave face to try reduce the likelihood of a successful lawsuit. They...

Orchard, c'mon. You're not fooling anybody.
- MS are doing a lot of consolidation/acquisitions right now with Phil Spencer saying that acquisitions are a "Healthy Part of the Gaming Industry" while Layden thinks the big players buying up everything will inevitably hurt game diversity.

He probably just saw the word "diversity" and thought Layden was talking about race (he's actually talking diversity of game output) because he didn't bother reading the article.

That's a high percentage of the staff. Good for them.

The female employee's suicide on a company trip (caused by sexual harassment, her boss having a relationship with her and a nude picture of her being shared between colleagues) alone makes the claim that it's a "truly meritless and irresponsible lawsuit" truly vile.

There's a lot in this lawsuit so I encourage people to properly read into it.

I disagree. The one thing that they don't want is for people to fact-check them and reveal that their past claims were false and poorly thought out.

Most of the guys making "Get Woke, Go Broke" videos now are just grifters who profit off riling people up. They have a financial incentive to get their audience angry over just about anything, and people get hurt because of the mindset it puts people in, e.g. 1755d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

I'm surprised this hasn't happened on N4G. Every time there's a new article about this game, many comments are from new accounts made just 1-2 hours ago, sending fake responses to themselves. It's very similar behaviour. At least these days, they're more quickly spotted and mar...

The "Get woke, go broke" crowd definitely did go after this game, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Look at the comments on that video.

"Personally, I don't have a problem with gays."

This story is about someone posting that gays are against nature and then liking posts like “Fuck faggots, all my homies hate LGBT" with a picture of a pride flag being burned.

"He said something regarding fornite that he didn't like and it happened to sound like it was towards the LGBT celebration."

You're not telling the truth, and you're trying to misinform people. The chap said gays are against nature and then liked posts like “Fuck faggots, all my homies hate LGBT" with a picture of pride flag being burned. There's nothing ambiguous about that, and there's no misunderstanding.

I knew that's where you got it from. Lad, you're quoting PR from Blizzard and not anything from the lawsuit itself (you criticized the lawsuit), and you left out the most important part of that statement.

"We value diversity and strive to foster a workplace that offers inclusivity for everyone. ***There is no place in our company or industry, or any industry, for sexual misconduct or harassment of any kind.***"

That's not about force...
