I like the idea of america being a colony, but zombies, bleh. Too many zombie games.

Steam christmas sales up.

Have you played Pathfinder: Kingmaker? It has a way more annoying timer, IMO.

Looks like they copied the visual style of the monsters from Parasyte.

Apparently this thing got a release date, 11.11.22: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1716740/Starfield/ Wonder how it'll turn out.

I read negative ones on steam for games I'm uncertain about, to see if they actually have any information. Most of the time they don't, but sometimes they do.

The steam review system in general is very faulty, as people use it more of as a general feedback feature rather than as reviews as whole games. I've seen games drop to "mixed" because a recent DLC had a bug that wasn't fixed in a day. The bigger the fanbase, the smaller the problem people get annoyed about that can cause a game to drop in reviews. It might be a useful feature, but it's not really a review system, in the same way the word is understood everywhere else.

"Mutually agreed" means he was being problematic, and they had to fire him.

Steam autumn sales. Wasteland 3 is 12€.

What's a creative director do anyway? Do they just handle the art, music etc, or is it writing too?

Because these are made by Japanese nerds for other Japanese nerds, who have no social relationships, and the only reference point for social intercourse is school. Not that they had social relationships there either, but they saw others having them. For a less cynical answer, it's just part of the culture for anime/manga/games. I'm sure some researcher or journalist could delve deeper for some sociopsychological reason (and maybe has), but on the face of it, it's just what they do.

If you're talking about the actual human characters, they're school children. This is pretty standard for japanese games.

At Bethesda: "So is there a platform we haven't ported Skyrim to yet?" "Oh, I know..."

This must be the reason. They had alot of scenes in ME3 with the frogman, I doubt they anticipated people liking him so much.

Found this interesting. Not sure if it brings anything new to the table, I didn't follow the discussion much back when ME3 was originally released.

Diablo2 remake releases today. Get your popcorn ready.

What do you mean by cheating? What does the game do?

Probably knew what to expect, given Kingmaker.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/pncvo0/unlocking_geforce_now_reveals_god_of_war_2018_for/ ..And a big bunch of other games. Final verdict according to poster: hard to say which are real and which aren't.

Sorry, I was just joking.

You have to make the right choices to get the real ending, where they reveal just that.

So, not a full slap in the face, maybe just a creepy caress?
