From what I heard, they were dropping from four companions to three, Mass Effect style, and wanted the combat to be more like God of War. So my fear is it’s gonna be like Andromeda, where you can’t control your companions’ abilities at all.

At this point, I won’t believe it’s actually coming out until it’s actually for sale. I also don’t have any high hopes for it being very good if it does come out.

Why would they? What Nintendo is doing works really well for Nintendo. They’re over 100 years old (which is considered a young company in Kyoto!) and are not about chasing the best and shiniest, but what works best for their continued long-term survival. They will always do their own thing and at their own pace.

You can skip those. I’m not sure what the keyboard command is, but on controller, hit triangle or Y when you roll. It goes straight to the final result.

Can we give them Dragon Age, because BioWare doesn’t seem to know what it’s doing anymore.

My dream devs to do it are Red Candle Games. Devotion was amazing and it and Detention show how good they are at psychological horror.

I genuinely prefer when the companion characters aren’t playersexual, since it makes them feel for real to me. It also gives me a reason to switch up things like gender or sexuality for my character on replays. The only reason I’ve ever played as BroShep in Mass Effect was to romance characters I couldn’t as FemShep.

I was watching a video on YouTube yesterday of someone’s favorite romances in video games, and all I could think watching it was, “You’ve never once played as a female character, huh,” because all his favorite romances were for straight male characters, and that just felt so, I dunno, limited and boring to me. Romance Garrus, romance Dorian, try to role play and not just play as yourself.

I really want to do a durge run, but haven’t yet because I want to play BG1 first so it’ll hit more.

This really is one of those games that’s worth it at full price. Save waiting on a sale for the half-finished games that shouldn’t be priced as high as they are.

But Microsoft told the FTC they specifically were not gonna do that after the merger, which is why the FTC is angry at them. https://www.polygon.com/24065269/ftc-microsoft-activision-deal-layoffs-appeal

I mean, what else are they gonna say? “We’re totally gonna waste your time AND milk you for as much of your money as possible!”

And we’re not even through January yet. Jfc.

I’ve stopped using Google Maps for walking directions and use Apple Maps instead. Whenever I use Google Maps, it gave me the most winding, dark backstreet walking route possible, but the same way on Apple Maps was really straightforward.

I really feel like Google is overall degrading.

there are no other dog whistles

Uh-oh.

This is such a participation trophy for Spider-Man 2.

Booooo

I stand by my statement.

…I think maybe you need to play the first game again. And maybe American Nightmare.

I am genuinely confused as to how that’s a spoilery headline. Genuinely.
