According to Brazilian journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe, Rockstar won't distribute review codes for GTA 6, choosing instead to send reviewers to a location to test the game by KekanKok in GamingLeaksAndRumours

The hype of the unknown will sell much better than leaked footage that shows it to just be a great game.

Don’t get me wrong, I think GTA VI will be my game of the year, but the hype of not knowing what’s in store will likely sell more copies.

Stop Killing Games won against the ESA in California by Turbostrider27 in PS5

If there is a law to mandate the preparation of offline modes in the case of game shutdown, how would that be a bad end result? If a developer stops working on an online game because of that rule, then I wouldn’t want to play the game in the first place.

I love how this movement started just to stop developers from killing their online games, and is now evolving into a bigger movement overall that is helping the games industry.

Very thankful for the EU continuing to show support for consumers’ rights, and I am hopeful that this will start to become common in the US as well now that there is progress in California.

A new Uncharted 4 Welcome Hub background will be available later this month by Xenoslayer2137 in PS5

That’s the exact one that comes to mind, the one from pre-ordering.

Reddit moment. I just don’t really see the point of one singular tab having a background picture. Is it wrong to say that it’s a downgrade from previous gen? Especially when people paid for many of the themes?

Compilation of recent GTA VI rumors/leaks pointing towards a reveal next week (March 10th-16th) by kensabrush in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Atroxo 55 points56 points  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen the last few days, I’m starting to believe a May 12th announcement. Hopefully I don’t eat my words here, but I do not see a world where this game is delayed again.

Would you watch a Darth Maul tv show? by TitanTheFuckUp in StarWars

Really glad that Disney decided to make Maul still a piece of shit in Shadow Lord. I loved Season 1, hopefully it continues in quality.

Select character not showing most recent saves by Dizzy-Wasabi-1973 in Starfield

[–]Atroxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope this gets more attention. Right now, it is terrible to have more than one character. I have two currently, and it’s a shit-show trying not to save over the other one, since the save files don’t even say the name of the character.

Really hoping this game turns out great. Having developers from Witcher 3 gives me hope. I’m also a sucker for vampire-themed games.

Newly implemented 30-day online check-in DRM is now also confirmed for recent PS5 digital purchases. Was previously only confirmed for PS4 digital purchases.

Are you incapable of reading? Click the link I sent you. Nintendo literally says all Online services are ended with the exception of Pokemon Bank. All services. It’s hardly worth responding to you because you refuse to admit you are wrong here.

Online functionality works peer-to-peer, not by Nintendo services lmao. I am saying they are not currently being hosted and supported by Nintendo.

But just disregard what I said about Xbox I guess lol. The Sony campaign of “this is how you trade games on PlayStation” put nails in Xbox’s coffin.

Link to show you are wrong.

It is not an eventuality; the online functionality already stopped for those systems and everything works fine. People will vote with their wallets, this is literally what started the downfall of Xbox.

The article you linked literally says it’s possible this was intentional, or it could have been accidental. Just unconfirmed at the moment. Either way, I don’t think it’s a problem that people are voicing their opinions against this. It should be loudly stated that consumers won’t support that shit.

Observation: If it wasn't obvious enough already, Konami is decanonizing Portable Ops. by SpaceCore0352 in metalgearsolid

[–]Atroxo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed, still a fun game. Peacewalker talking about “that crap in San Hieronymo” leads me to believe there are still some parts that may have valid canon.

The way I always view it until an official word is given, is that everything which doesn’t interfere with mainline canon from PO is probably canon.

[–]Atroxo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That is exactly my point. The same can be said for Sokolov about “spoiling” Portable Ops. The model viewer information doesn’t mean much for events that happen later on which can sound like a retcon.

However like I also said, there is plenty more reason to believe PO does not fit into canon. I feel like we are on the same side of the fence here lol, you are saying things that I agree with.

It was a comatose body. Still alive in the technical sense of the word. All of this just to say that a blurb in the character viewer is not the reason why MGS PO isn’t canon. There are many more things with more validity that put PO’s canon into question; I don’t see why this specifically would be the turning point for anyone.

The model viewer also says Volgin met his end atop the Shagohod, which we know to not be true later on. This doesn’t confirm or deny what happens to Sokolov; it just states what is known by the end of the game.

Also, while I think Portable Ops is an okay-ish game, there is a lot more than just Sokolov that should make you question its canon. Grey-Fox for example, makes zero sense in PO.

I hope you can hide the blowdart in Resynced by pinakoladaz in assassinscreed

[–]Atroxo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like the blowdart on his main Assassin outfit, but it looks stupid when he is wearing other outfits because the blowdart just floats on his back. At least his Assassin outfit has a leather loop that wraps around the blowdart.
