Clearly the Japanese shouldn’t be making all our Japanese games! We need American businesses making Japanese games!

No one’s silencing him, though right? They’re just reacting to what he said, which is consequence. Is this somehow challenging his right to make his voice heard?

Imagine having access to terminal on your iPhone. That would be awesome.

I haven’t been a real borderlands fan since 2. The gameplay is fun enough, but the dialogue kind of gets cringy after a while.

I’ve decided amongst this push to $80 games that even $70 is too rich for me. With very few exceptions, the only launch games I will allow myself to buy will be the $40-50 ones. Otherwise I will just wait until the $70+ ones that interest me to get there on their own. If i lose the urge to play them in the meantime, oh well. Money saved.

There are just sooooo many great games out there at much better prices.

NGL, this trailer made me more interested in the game than the original unveiling trailer. It’s still not really on my list of games to play, but I’ll pay attention if I see it brought up in the news now.

I wouldn’t hold it against them. You and I are in a place where we know the value in looking this stuff up, and we know the industry. There are a lot more people out there who don’t, and others who still haven’t made the mistake they need to in order to learn it.

Steam, the cheapest I see it as is 79,99€ where I am, which is actually US$90. I just assumed the US store did a straight numeral conversion to dollars, but you’re getting a discount too, it seems.

1. It’s $80
2. It’s on Gamespass, where I assume a lot of doom fans who might have otherwise purchased are likely to be.
3. It’s shouldered up against Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remake, both over $20 cheaper and highly acclaimed.
4. It’s $80
5. (Edit) shitty DRM

Absolutely. Now that people are paying attention, it’ll be easier to spot.

Didn’t they get caught doing this with destiny as well? It makes me wonder if it’s a studio culture thing. You’re 200% right in what they should be doing, but I still am inclined to think this is more likely an incompetence thing than malice.

NGL, it seems really practical that it was intended to be placeholder concept art that someone forgot to go in and replace.

That said, this artist they took so much inspiration from definitely deserves a place in the game’s credits at this point. Whether they actually use his art in game or not.

I recommend spending 30m and deep diving into the settings. Just go through each category one by one, read what’s there, and consider how it might change your experience.

Their deliberate word choice of “upgrade” to supported operating system is mildly infuriating.

Sony has a nice headset, but it’s more of a whatever than a serious evolution of the industry.

This sentiment exists because Meta sunk gargantuan losses into engineering progress that the burgeoning VR market couldn’t possibly have managed naturally. If you took meta and the quest 3 out of the VR picture entirely, I believe the psvr2 would still be a good bar for where high quality, affordable, modern VR would be. There would be no outstanding AAA VR meta exclusives, but who’s to say a few of those might not have been made anyway? On better hardware and non-exclusive, no less.

Furthermore, if all those people who opted for Quest 3 when choosing what to buy ended up on other platforms, the incentive for developers to develop VR features for their games wouldn’t be restricted to mobile only and on a terrible store front. I think we would have seen a lot more studios take the Resident Evil route and add VR modes to their games because the VR audience would be on platforms that would require less compromise, and it would be larger than it is now. I believe we would have had fewer, but much better games in VR by now.

Daggerfall as well, right?

On the other hand, I think the VR gaming industry in general would be much healthier position today if it weren’t for Meta’s financial boat rocking.

Last I heard they’re actually doubling down. They were supposedly shifting away from games in a push towards more comprehensive Horizon Worlds integration. Like it will no longer be an app you launch but rather the environment you enter when donning the headset. I heard that a few weeks ago, though. It might be outdated already.
