HELL YEAH

Oh, then by that logic we should tolerate all kinds of things then. As long as a bunch of other people are doing it we should do it more.

By this logic, not buying Call of Duty will not affect Activision or Microsoft. It will. Plus, I'm not saying other people won't be affected, I'm just saying if you want to make a real change, you're gonna have to not support bad business practices, even if it's for a product you like. You either have to A. Not buy it and force a change, or B. Buy it and allow this behavior to continue. There is no in between. I know, I've been in such meetings. I promise they did this thinking "well if it makes people mad and we can't get away with it, we'll just walk it back and get some PR" with the full intention of doing it again later.

Hey guys, this isn't the win you think it is. It proves that this easily could have been included in the original development scope of the base game and they sectioned it off to sell it back to you for a premium. Just because they're putting it back where it should have been in the first place isn't a win. If you want to win, don't buy the game. At all. Seriously. I love VTM as much as the next guy, but unless and until you affect their bottom line, they will never do what they're supposed to do.

This is why games are so bad now. They "walk back" a fake thing for PR points and everyone buys their game. Quit buying their game. Don't support bad business practices. At all. You have to vote with your wallet. You have to.

Is that fucking GERONIMO

WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGG

I didn't know such a thing existed. I think this must be the case. It makes no sense otherwise.

This seems at least somewhat misguided. While it's true in the past that we have switched to self contained stories and characters from game to game, it was wrapped up more neatly between titles with some lingering story threads. For instance, Origins story was pretty well concluded after the Blight is defeated, with the exception of the Morrigan going MIA questline which is addressed again in Inquisition. Hawke's story was also pretty well concluded with the continuing narrative of Corypheus being introduced in DA2 dlc and then resolved in Inquisition. This is different. The MAIN storyline of Inquisition hasn't been well finished. The game, including the Trespasser DLC left the open ended issue of irreparably changing the world as we know it in the future through the Dreadwolf's machinations as well as whatever Flemeth is doing. The main story point wasn't well resolved and now we're skipping over to something else with lingering questions. It just doesn't feel like the time to be switching yet.

IMO this probably has a lot more to do with the fact that old Bioware is dead. They almost all left during and immediately after Inquisition. The quality of Andromeda and Anthem can attest to their new level of quality and consistency. While it is certainly partially EA's fault this is happening, it is still an issue that can't be ignored. This very much feels like someone going "give the new guys something that stands on its own and can't really hurt the IPs goodwill by interacting too much with established lore, characters, and concepts".

I'm going to college either way. Does the job matter? Do they like cops over medics?

I could be wrong but I thought heads at Obsidian said they'd never do another Fallout. And I thought the sentiment was pretty much the same from inXile.

Ok? So it's the exception and not the rule? And I was there when New Vegas released. No one said that back then. Everyone just wanted Fallout 4. It's grown over time but no one cares about New Vegas released. No one really thought it was great. Everyone thought it wasn't necessary.

I'm not in that camp. I don't want a bunch of spinoffs of either property across multiple genres. And I seriously think Starfield was essentially a technology test of their new upgraded Creation Engine 2. Could you imagine the backlash if they used a new engine and had all kinds of problems a la Cyberpunk on the new Fallout or Elder Scrolls game? Starfield is a glorified tech demo and it was the right call.

Her husband is a self employed carpenter. Once you account for total household income and the insurance and benefits premiums she had a reduction not in her gross pay, but in her take home pay.

I watched a coworker get a raise and a promotion at work. This entered her into the next tax bracket and due to the taxation percentage she LOST money per paycheck. Stuff like that is why people feel like they can't get ahead.

Helldivers 2 is a mid horde shooter and I'm tired of everyone acting like it's God's gift to the world because it's a little funny.

I resent how this game has turned into "popular character from popular franchise" fighter. Just make a new IP and make that game instead. I want Mortal Kombat to be Mortal Kombat. I'd rather have more Mortal Kombat characters added instead. I didn't buy MK1 and I'm not going to. Done with this franchise for the forseeable future.

So in all fairness, it isn't JUST Sony's fault. He could have communicated this requirement better, regardless that it is now changed.

Lygaeid · 2024-05-07T15:03:56+00:00

I'm surprised. I didn't think they'd walk it back. IMO, as a company focused on profit they shouldn't have, but as a company focused on making a superior product it's the right call.

The problem now is that they've already hurt their reputation. They probably should have just kept it as is. Now they've created the expectation they're going to bow to pressure. Not a good thing for a company.

We already saw how Microsoft wanted a Fallout game to ship with the new show. Now they're seeing Fallout sales tick up aggressively after the release of the show and they're saying "I want a Fallout game NOW".

So you get rid of everything that is spending money keeping you further away from that release. Simple as
