RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS

So At the Gates looks like it will actually see the light of day.

 

 

I wrote this one off, but it doesn't look too shabby. That means the only Kickstarter project that hasn't delivered is the Space Quest guys.

I don't understand the fascination with Living Saints.

Me neither

It appears to me as if it's mostly companies that deal with end users that don't give a toss about this (re: hypernormalization?).

When dealing with other companies (or governments, I imagine), leaks like these mean lost business most of which probably won't be coming back soon, unless the competition that it went to gets hit by the same type of deal.

If the account belongs to a child then they are breaking the law and can be sued. I don't recall but I think you don't need to be over 18 to have an origins account.

It's unbelievable, but most of the companies do not give a crap about security for one single reason, damage control after the leak is much cheaper than prevention and tight security...

The video is so good and true.

 

 

Tim Cain's rule: Any game with "Quest" in the name is bound to be a problem. So I agree with the dude, that game looks stupid and boring. Not sure how it became such a popular Crpg.

Speaking of which, PlayStation Classic games running better on SNES Classic:

Mechwarrior looks better than ever but Left Alive still looks better.

some not too reliable source mentioned that Diablo was banned in China - that would be hilarious

Apparently the Chinese government is setting up an "ethics" board to review games they'll allow. I love the irony there.

Rockstar updated RDO yesterday. The changelog for that 800mb update is huge:

 

General improvements to fix game stability, save data and to address exploits.

 

Oh and apparently instead of fixing the mission reward design, they simply nerfed it all again... I don't know wtf they are doing. Do they want nobody to play the game anymore in a week?

IGN's very own game awards or best of:

[Cpl Halsbart]

No KCD, IGN?

[SonicMage117]

You figure they would have chosen it but... not IGN lol

[Cpl Halsbart]

I rechecked, and KCD pulled in two awards this year: best music and best narrative, and the narrative award came from Europe. This kickstarter everyone wrote off back in the day actually sold between 1 to 2 million copies, people played it too, according to steam spy at least, and it wins a music award in America.... The music's fine, but it really hammers home these big commercial events for doritos are p2win, in their own right. Warhorse may have made some cash, but they just aren't murka AAAbscess publisher tier.

I think, the stock bubble is slowly starting to burst after the price hijack which started with the introduction of Overwatch lootboxes, and sharholders are cashing out their 1 year, 1 and half year investments, and all the AAA companies are starting to panick because almost every single of them has lost 25 - 50% of value over the course of last 6 months, and they probably think, that fleecing the whales even more drastically, will bring them back their lost value.

The AAAbscess industry needs to die; its full of marketing, rotted ideas, and mobile.
