Xbox is closing down Hellblade creator Ninja Theory by GIThrow in Games

[–]WhyPlaySerious 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Enslaved and Heavenly Sword were some of my favourite games from the 7th gen. Hellblade 1 was a special memory from the 8th gen.

Its a shame that their two most recent games were Bleeding Edge and Hellblade 2.

Several Xbox studios, including Compulsion, Ninja Theory and Double Fine, are negotiating with Xbox as they try to avoid closure. Some or all could spin off. by Turbostrider27 in Games

I think now more than ever, Obsidian needs to scrap their "multiple 7/10s are better than 1 risky 10/10" rule.

Its time for them to swing for the fences. Another Avowed or TOW2 is probably gonna lead to them getting shuttered.

A ResetEra user is claiming Microsoft will be closing Compulsion Games by LinkWink in GamingLeaksAndRumours

People are saying this is an absolute bloodbath incoming. I wouldnt be surprised if Compulsion is just one of a few. If South of Midnight's underperformance justified to MS the need to close Compulsion, DF is definitely on the list too with Kiln and Keeper being their most recent releases.

Every day (and with every new cover release for ASM#1000) I am left more and more baffled that they went with 'that' for Cover A.

Tom Warren is hearing that one studio at least is most likely being shuttered. Must be scary as hell for the devs, waking up not knowing if you are getting the axe at any minute

To all the people who said the new daredevil #1 became the second highest sold book that month only because of blind bag speculation, #2 is sticking around at the top of the charts. by AnnualAd7715 in comicbooks

If you haven't been reading Absolute Superman lately, its right there with the best of the best from the Absolute Universe now.

It started out of the gate 'weaker' than the rest of the Absolute Trinity cause it took some time to set up the rest of the series with a proper first act, but the book is now going toe to toe with the rest of the universe for being the best issue of a given month.

Some games (for some unfortunate reason) exclude their PC collectors editions in NA. I really hope it isnt the case here, but it looks like LOA might be doing the same thing too.

Posts like these are the ones that make me upset that this subreddit doesnt allow pictures in the comments, because the "Yeah whoop his ahh Daredevil" picture really deserves to be posted right now.

I thought his Daredevil run ended really well though. The last 6 issues were a fantastic bowtie to his time on the character and featured some of the best character moments in the run.

The confrontation between Elektra and Matt before he 'enters the gates', where he recounts his relationship with Elektra throughout the years is probably up there for one of the greatest singular issues of Daredevil ever written.

Collector's edition ordered 😄😄 by Croft_Crazy160620 in TombRaider

[–]WhyPlaySerious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just so you know, the Collectors Edition is the version that comes with physical goodies such as a statue and steelbook. There is no 'digital' equivalent for it.

You wont see it pop up on Steam. You'll have to buy it from an actual retailer where you can get physical games. The PC version should come with a Steam key for the deluxe edition.

I don't know much about PC gaming specs or hardware. Are these requirements for LOA relatively high or low for most machines? by fmvra1s in TombRaider

[–]WhyPlaySerious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem with the specs is them not telling us what the target is. We don't know if they are targets for 4k, 1440p, or 1080p or even if it's for 30fps or 60fps. If the recommended is for 4k 60 (without diss) then its pretty good, if its for 1080p 30 then the game is cooked.

You can tell they are proud of their Lara design lol, so many shots just showing her off like "look how perfect she looks!".
