This isn't allowed, sorry. The MC score was not high enough thus your fun is invalid.
Hand in your gamer badge and gun.
Ok
I do think I have become easier to please gaming-wise as I get older. It took me 17ish hours to get to the end of the game and at no point did I feel like I wasn't having a good time. I'm also planning on playing a bit of the post game content to see if I can knock out a couple more achievements lol.
Arkane dev joins Valve
It's time for Vlave to do immersive sim game XD

It's a nice feeling to find a game that most people don't like but turns out it's fun for you. At least for me, it's a pleasant surprise. Wanted: Dead was the latest game of that type for me.
Will checked out Suicide Squad later when it's inevitably come to humble choice/game pass/free on epic.
I won't be buying anything until Metaphor. I'm actually feeling overwhelmed with the game's I'm tackling now, between wrapping up SMTV, emulation and backlog.
BTW, did GMG honor that price mistake on Metaphor?

I keep forgetting Gamescom ONL is happening this month. And TGS late next month.
I'm thinking we get Snake Eater Delta release date at one of those events.
Nintendo could maybe drop the Switch 2 teaser at one of the events. Valve could tease Deadlock too.
But yea I don't see anything big or new getting announced. Maybe Rockstar reveals RDR1 for PC but they always do their own thing.
Also I wonder what Sony does after Ragnarok. We all assume TLOU2 is coming but they likely hold it until the show early next year. So there will be a lot of time between Sept and lets say February. Enough time to fit another game in the schedule somewhere in lets say...Nov or Dec. So they stay consistent for the year.

99% of gaming discourse is toxic waste, but the things that this community can achieve is incredible.
Being able to play those Saturn games I missed out on back in the day because they weren't released outside of Japan, thanks to these incredible emulators and fan translation, is amazing. It took a while but I'm finally filling those gaps, and I'm even doing it on a handheld. Fantastic stuff.

The Saturn really had tons of great games. It's too bad Sega fucked it all up by the time the console came out (and rushed it even more to be the first), on top of 2D being seen as somehow lesser to 3D in that time.
The three Shining Force 3 games are still my favourite Japanese TRPGs.
And I still wonder if we'll finally get a Panzer Dragoon Saga remake one of these days ? I see that the Panzer Dragoon remake is currently a whooping 2€ on Steam...
Enjoying games?! Having fun?!
Meanwhile
Funny enough I also just got a rejection email from other company but it doesn't give me any feedback at all, just the usual
"Thank you for your interest in "company name". After careful consideration, we will not be moving forward with your candidacy for this position at this time.
Please visit the "company name" Careers site often as new positions are frequently posted. Again, thank you for your time and interest in "company name".
I'm not sure how I feel about these responses.
By the way with all the people that have been getting laid off from video games are there any stories of any prolific people just choosing to do something completely different or is it more of "X,Y and Z who previously worked on A,B, and C video games are now opening up their own game studio".

So I agree with everyone saying August already huh. Like fuck me where is the time going. Looked down, I was doing my undergrad. Looked up and I'm working, thinking of settling down, worrying about stuff I never used to before.
Life man...
Shouldn't be getting these deep thoughts on a gaming forum lol.

I see they suffer the MS illness.
Hey, corporations, wear a mask. Don't catch Shambolid !
What the hell is going on with Paradox, that's the 3rd of 4th game they are publishing.
This will also probably just be the precursor to shutting down development and closing of the studio, like the other studios they mismanaged.
And I asked it in the last thread 2 weeks ago:
Why do they have an aversion against Early access? All their publishing issues, quality issues, and Customer expectations would be "solved" with EA
I feel like, deep inside, they're terrified of having a big stinker in their hands. EA is a convenient way to get some extra money, but if you release a shitty and buggy mess sales will just tank, and the bad game stigma will haunt the game forever. Same if you release a game that is simply not well designed and shows no hope of ever getting better. Yes I know you can't expect an EA game to work perfectly, but I truly believe some of their releases are currently in an "unreleasable" state, way too early to even be a beta, otherwise they wouldn't have cancelled their Sims-like, or delayed Prison Architect 2. That September release for PA2 was always just an investor fantasy, especially considering the dev change
Damn, I missed it by a couple of minutes.It's still there in my account. Fingers crossed, though.
And this comes after they removed the original studio that was working on the game and handed it over to another studio that was doing maintenance for the first game. It's my opinion that Paradox is in deep, deep shit right now and Paradox publishing is not long for this world. I expect they'll shrink back to their inhouse grand strategy games soon.
Anyway, yesterday I did something I've not done in many, many years... I bought a game and actually played it and finished it. Granted, it was less than 3 hours to completion but still...
The game is
It's a comedy adventure game. Somewhat similar to Untitled Goose Game in the sense that you wander between a few interconnected small maps throughout the experience. You are told what you need to do but there's no hint at how you're supposed to do stuff so you just explore and figure it out. It's entirely linear but super duper strange so none of the objectives are ever achieved in a straightforward manner. Very, very strange and somewhat surreal game and it's extremely funny as well. Less than 3 hours for the asking price might not be for everyone but it really is an extremely unique experience. Highly recommended.
Forgot to mention that I played it completely on the deck. No issues at all.

I got an email with a code. I'll let you know about my experience with it. It doesn't start until August 9Feels bad, didn't manage to get closed beta access for Tribe Nine
Game Informer is shutting down. Not exactly out of nowhere given GameStop's financial troubles and the continuing decline of gaming media over the past few years, but still feels like the end of an era.
Feels like the end of an era. Traditional games media is still dying but there is no shortage of people talking about games.
I miss reading game mags
Gamesmaster was the best

I don't really have any connection to Game Informer so I kind of don't have any feelings one way or another about it shutting down.
Sucks to anyone who is losing their job though,
The only thing I really know about GI is that people always made a big deal about their covers for some reason. And that Andy McNamara always seemed like an alright dude when he was in the giantbomb nightly shows.
