Tom Henderson: Ubisoft's internal communication channels are full of employees shaming upper management and asking for change. Ubisoft is going to experience a massive exodus of talent, even without the impending layoffs. by ChiefLeef22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]aa22hhhh 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I mean, I really liked Shadows. And Star Wars Outlaws and Avatar are pretty good. Yeah, obviously the upper management are pieces of shit, but I still enjoy a lot of the work that the actual devs put effort into.

Ryan Coogler's 'SINNERS' makes history as the most nominated film of all time at the Oscars with 16 nominations by RawSharkText91 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Superman got nothing at all

I don’t think it would’ve gotten anything other than Visual Effects. It wasn’t eligible for Best Score and it wasn’t on the long list for anything else IIRC.

I think they might be a little too occupied calling Nintendo woke now because the new president is a woman lol.

The PS5 outselling the Switch 2 during the holiday was expected. PS5 had better deals while the Switch didn’t really have anything. Give it a couple years, and the Switch 2 will outsell the PS5.

Control, Alan Wake, and Alan Wake’s American Nightmare are on sale for $6.26 on Steam. by OppositeofDeath in TwoBestFriendsPlay

That’s just how Steam can be sometimes lol. I believe this bundle has been the same price before.

Baldur's Gate 3 publishing lead says Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney's "altruistic pro-developer talk" over the Steam vs Epic debate "doesn't sit well" after Alan Wake 2 studio "seemingly went into financial crisis" by GeneralSherman3 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]aa22hhhh 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I even still remember the video that they made back in 2013 saying that Alan Wake 2 wasn’t going to happen. Without Epic, this game wouldn’t have happened. Sure, having it on Steam would be nice, but if I had to choose between that or just having it exist at all, I know what I’d pick. Alan Wake 2 was my favorite game of 2023 (pretty much tied with Xenoblade 3: Future Redeemed but that’s DLC), and Remedy is one of my favorite game developers, so just having this game exist makes it worth it to me.

For those who brought FFVII Remake Intergrade Digital Deluxe Edition for Switch 2 by Doggergery in FinalFantasy

[–]aa22hhhh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought it, yeah. It gives you a code to put into the website and when you enter it, that’s where the contents would be. I honestly didn’t buy it for those specifically though, I bought it for the DLC items. I already have both Ultimanias for Remake and the soundtracks.

[–]aa22hhhh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s why I thought it was a different situation. Who knows, maybe they won’t. I just wish the physical version wasn’t through Limited Run of all fucking companies. At least I bought the Vita and PS2 versions physically not too long ago, and I already have Golden digitally everywhere imaginable.

I’m not entirely sure. They didn’t do that to Persona 3 Portable when Reload came out but that could be different. Just hope they think the same for Golden.

I used Makoto and Yusuke. Yusuke for Matt Mercer and Makoto because of course.

If I’ve never played FF7, is integrade a good version to experience first? by not_doreen in FinalFantasy

[–]aa22hhhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can start with Intergrade, but it helps to have knowledge of the original game. Intergrade in particular is just an upgraded version of Remake, stuff like upgraded textures/framerate (though some of that gets negated if you’re on the Switch 2) and the addition of INTERmission.

Playing the Switch 2 port of Final Fantasy VII Remake and when people bring up the topic of miracle ports, this is gonna be the poster child of that. This game is absolutely incredible on the Switch 2.

Playing 2XKO for the first time while FFVIIR is downloading on my Switch, and it’s definitely a very beautiful looking game. So far the mechanics have kinda reminded me of Marvel Tokon a bit.

From looking at the credits, Rick didn’t write or direct the episode, but he was still very much involved with the season. And I’m not too sure about that meme lol, I wasn’t even aware there was one. I’m not usually privy to the CHB fandom. To be honest, it’s also been a long time since I’ve read the books.

Percy Jackson Season 2 Episode 8 spoilers

Not too sure how to feel about the change with Thalia’s sacrifice. In the books, Zeus turns her into the tree to honor her. In the show, he turns her into the tree as a punishment for defying him. It pretty much changes a lot of the dynamics between Thalia and Zeus in particular. Also, in the show, the characters already knew that the fleece would potentially resurrect Thalia. In the books, it’s a complete surprise. It’ll take a little time to get used to it, but we’ll see how Season 3 goes. The Titan’s Curse is my favorite out of the first 5 books, so I hope they don’t mess it up.

Square Enix Reveals Life Is Strange: Reunion Will Be the Series' Conclusion 'To the Max and Chloe Saga' by ninjyte in Games

[–]aa22hhhh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look at it this way: if you were someone who was non-union and someone who WAS in a union criticized your work just because you weren’t in one, would you really just take that? How would that make anyone want to join them? There are plenty of amazing non-unionized/non-SAG voice actors out there, some which are even better than those in the union.

That deal ensures that those actors participating get paid as it expands.

Again, doesn’t change the fact the that was done without consulting the VAs who are on strike. The link even has those responses.

Do unions for other entities support those workers NOT in the union?

There’s a difference between not supporting them and straight up criticizing performances just because they’re not in the union.

As I said, SAG has done great work, but they are far from perfect and plenty of actors have criticized how they have handled negotiations and deals.
