When will companies learn that this is the exact OPPOSITE of what you do when you want people to stop talking about leaks? Trying to shut the internet up is just going to make the internet louder. That's how it's always been

The desire to erase turn-based combat from gaming is so weird. Like if it’s not for you, it’s not for you. It’s not like you don’t have plenty of real-time options

Alan Wake 2 hasn't recouped Development and Marketing costs yet, but Remedy Entertainment says the game's sales "have continued with a high average price."
Today we filed a lawsuit against Google and Samsung alleging that they illegally colluded to block competition by turning the Auto Blocker feature *on by default* on Samsung devices. This undermines the progress made to open up Android devices to competition.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says Games industry is undergoing a "generational change,"
"A lot of games are released with high budgets, and they're not selling."
@ItsMarioSniper
My issue with the Marauder is just how he kills the pace of group fights. He’s not hard to kill once you get the hang of him but he brings fights to a standstill cuz you can’t multitask him with other enemies the way you can with everyone else

Please find someone else to talk about. There are so many other Apex streamers you could be highlighting instead of making vague articles about Shroud every bloody day
I feel like XDefiant needs killstreaks/scorestreaks. I feel like a simple UAV would go such a long way in matches. Just feel like I’m not working towards anything in the middle of a match.
How do you feel about this?
I think the return of 30fps caps wouldn’t bother me as much as it does if devs didn’t try to act like it was a stylistic choice.
The game isn’t capped at 30fps cuz it’s more cinematic. It’s capped at 30fps because nobody can optimize for shit anymore
According to Gamepro Senua's Saga: Hellblade II will be limited to 30 FPS on both Xbox Series consoles
the VFX Director explains this in an interview saying that the experience should feel more "Cinematic" - similar to movies

Pop quiz which franchise am I talking about

that the "Dark Beginnings" prologue animation will be exclusive to the PS4 and PS5 editions of the game.

Full story coming soon.
I feel like at this point Sony might as well skip PC releases. I wouldn't blame them, the PC crowd seems like they're never happy unless dictating everything.
On the one hand, Sony gives you a stylish, sleek controller to play a new amazing game, and on the other hand, Microsoft gives you a plastic ass to play shitty Xbox Studios games 😂
Noticed that no matter what, however hard I lower settings, Unreal Engine 5 games just seem to hate my PC and have this stutter as I move around.
Diablo 4 is smooth af on Ultra, Cyberpunk 2077 is lush. UE5 games? stuttery mess, changing settings seems to have no impact at all.

PC is not a platform, it's an office equipment and it's irrelevant to any gaming discussions.
So these are PS5 exclusives. And before you ask — yes, Halo: Infinite is an Xbox game.
Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki says sony doesn’t have enough Original IP
"Whether it’s for games, films or anime, we don’t have that much IP that we fostered from the beginning"
We apparently 14k while I was on my anniversary trip and seriously thank you guys so much, the fact that people actually want to listen to my stupid rambling still blows my mind <3
I read through Sony's entire thing and at no point do they say "we're not doing PC day and date".
People are really taking the lack of confirmation as confirmation in itself and it's one of the more desperate things I've seen in a while
Let me get this straight...
-FaZe Jarvis is a professional player for one of the biggest esports orgs in the world
-He gets caught using an aimbot and gets permanently banned from the game
-People are defending him...??
Am I missing something or is this just FaZe fanboy bias?
A rare fungus that acts like the Cordyceps fungus which inspired The Last of Us was recently discovered in a rainforest in Scotland. But don't worry - it's only infecting spiders.
Rocksteady has begun layoffs due to the poor performance of ‘SUICIDE SQUAD KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE’

Also “why don’t PC gamers complain when other companies require an account link”
Meanwhile literally every Ubisoft game gets dinged in the user reviews and sales numbers for linking Steam and Uplay
I truly don’t understand how a studio like Tango who reliably puts out solid games every 1-2 years gets shut down while other studios under the MS umbrella release nothing for years on end with no consequence. The whole situation is such a shame
The first batch of excellent post-2012 games that come to mind:
Sekiro
Doom 2016/eternal
Ultrakill
BG3
Elden Ring
Another Crabs Treasure
Brotato
Titanfall 1/2
DMC 5
Hades
Warhammer Darktide
Warhammer Boltgun
Modern gaming isn’t boring, you are.

Xbox: hey can we have $70 billion
MS: yea sure
Xbox: *spends $70 billion*
MS: now hold on there buster
Genuinely what is going on at this company, how was the scrutiny not applied BEFORE THE $70 BILLION PURCHASE
Bloomberg is reporting that Xbox is still not done cutting costs and that “more cuts are on the way.”
Also reporting that Microsoft executives started to further scrutinize the Xbox division after the $70 billion purchase of Activision

XDefiant’s BIGGEST problem right now is the lack of purpose in gameplay…
During a match it feels like I’m not really working towards anything whether it be killstreaks/nuke…
It’s causing a lackluster feeling, no dopamine kicks during a match.
I can’t be alone on this right?
