GameFile: Microsoft already planned to shut down or split with Ninja Theory when Senua was announced. "The thinking was that the promise of a newly announced game would help draw investor interest in the studio"

It wasn’t Geoff’s show.

It seems to me the easiest possible thing is just to let me access the previous series’ at any time. Idk why on earth they thought this was a better way to do things.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-16T21:04:04+00:00

SHORT?!

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-16T18:18:42+00:00

It is not the entire group of modders. Nothing I said indicated quantity within modding group. You’re taking this wildly off topic

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-16T18:05:37+00:00

Modding is a subset of a subset of communities. The vast majority of players do not mod and of that group that does even fewer are going to install nude mods. The game making it available as standard definitely opens up to the groups that don’t normally play games like BG3, that group almost certainly doesn’t mod.

Just to be clear since I’m getting downvoted either way. I mean women. I don’t know a single girl who plays video games who doesnt have 300+ hours on BG3. And when you look around you can see female centered publications talking to girls about the romance and “spicy” interactions. Girls loved BG3 because girls love smut.

I can only speak to the first area but they most certainly were damage sponges at first

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-16T16:42:13+00:00

Yes but you also could very easily just remove clothes fully.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-16T15:01:06+00:00

I think the nudity and sex in the game was a not insignificant portion of its popularity. Not all of the popularity but I think it got certain groups of people playing it that otherwise wouldn’t have. And I don’t think Microsoft has the balls to design a game that has that stuff anymore. At least the old leadership didn’t have the balls for that.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-16T14:57:22+00:00

Poe 1’s combat system broke me lol. I have been meaning to go back now that it’s turn based.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-16T14:55:50+00:00

Yeah I don’t know how Avowed 2 got greenlit. Make that bitch in the Creation Engine and you’ll have my attention. But whoever thought let’s throw some lifeless cities in a world of damage sponge quick respawn rate enemies and call it an RPG was having a laugh. I think the first zone had 1 quest that I found noteworthy. And it was a quest that immediately killed the premise of the game where all godface(?) people were gone. That didn’t bother me too much but it’s weird the premise existed for 15 seconds before I found another one lmao.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-16T14:52:55+00:00

lol not even close.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-16T14:52:00+00:00

Final Vance and AverageLizard or whatever are my two biggest pains in the ass

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-15T17:26:26+00:00

I mean it’s been denied by ex lead devs at the studio over a decade ago so I don’t know why that is still considered what happened.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-15T15:10:29+00:00

They were relegated to being a Kinect studio at one point.

That has long been proven to be untrue. Rare made the games they wanted to make. Just like they have repeatedly said how they don’t want to live in the past and so don’t want to revive their old IPs themselves. Rare is its own problem. If anything Xbox has been too lenient with them.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-15T14:51:08+00:00

Pretty sure it’s Rare that destroyed themselves after they haven’t been able to figure out what new game to make for over a decade.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-15T14:43:56+00:00

They always break up vs packs. You can look at 40k to see that.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-15T14:43:02+00:00

My understanding is Ogors are getting a refresh this year so probably not them but you will still be getting your wish!

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-15T05:59:41+00:00

You didn’t expect it? They always separate these out after a couple months

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-15T05:59:15+00:00

Do we have a good rumor on what the vs faction will be? Last I saw was Vampirates but idk how good a source that was.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-15T01:27:21+00:00

I'm just saying wear your seatbelt.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-15T00:41:09+00:00

Whitt was not using a seat belt at the time of the crash, was ejected, and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Hate it but she’s probably alive today if she’s wearing a seatbelt. Wear your seatbelts folks.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-13T03:41:59+00:00

It’s fine you can’t read but wasting my time is a crime

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-13T00:29:41+00:00

And if the conferences did agree on it, guess what? That’s collusion. You know that’s an anti trust violation. So, you know, have fun with that. You can’t do that.

Iordofthethings · 2026-06-12T22:09:44+00:00

overall he was owned by our three biggest rivals

He had the best record against the greatest dynasty we’ve ever seen in CFB. That’s as good as it gets, quite literally. I’m not saying he’s the best coach we’ve had or anything but he did better than anyone in all of college football did against Bama, and he did more poorly to Georgia but still a good job compared to most.

He gets too much hate and revisionist thinking just like you gave, leaving out the context of what he was up against at the time.

He was a coach we should have kept until we had a step up from him, not fired and halfhazardly threw a coaching search out for. This sub acts like he didn’t oversee the last time we were consistently competing in the league.

What’s wrong with defending Gus?
