I’m not saying I disagree but you are aware this is a season pass for post release dlc, NOT a battlepass like in live service games right?

I believe horizon FW is also on PS4

This article might be a bit late? Other news media saying the decision has been reversed already

Have you played the game? While true, you can boil down the game to “you deliver packages” there’s a lot more to it. There’s planning your equipment and weight distribution, evaluating the best route and adapting when something unexpected shows up, the give and take of the social strand system, etc.

It’s for sure not a game for everyone and I don’t begrudge anyone who says they don’t enjoy it but the one liner that pretty much everyone boils it down to does a disservice when describing how much is actually involved

Cool preview by Shillup, I can’t say I’m the audience for this type of game but will keep an eye out for reviews when they drop

Can’t comment on news, but the friends per second podcast has been my go to

If EA is willing to cut me a check for telling you that games are getting more expensive and take longer to make then tell me where to sign

It’s mind boggling when the costs of games get leaked (or revealed during court cases). It makes me sad that so many studios have pivoted to the strategy you’ve described because it means we’ll have less games of a franchise I enjoy since the development takes so long or the developement is never even started because people have decided the profit won’t be as high as making a blockbuster game. Hell, look at Rockstar milking whales with GTA V, that’s a slightly different conversation, but it’s crazy how long the gap between GTA V and GTA VI are

I get everyone’s sentiment here, boiling it down to “better games are better” but also keep in mind the development costs and times for making new games are constantly going up. Yeah of course there are fantastic indie games out there (and I love them myself) that have a fraction of AAA game budgets and dev time but those are the gems in the rough, not the norm.

I’m all for better gaming experiences but they do come with tradeoffs. Also, flops are now death sentences for studios so the pressure to perform is even higher

A bit pricier than the other options listed in this thread but I’m really happy with my glasses from warby Parker. I like having an in person store to try on frames and the customer service is pretty great

One of the funniest ones that happened to me was when I ran my cyclops aground in the shallows and I tried to deploy out of my prawn to push it but the hatch was right next to the seafloor so I immediately clipped through the ground while in my prawn and fell through the entire game world. Good times

Apologies, I meant that I wanted to know how they came to the conclusion that climate could be affecting the prevalence. I’m not denying their claim, just curious what evidence they have.

I may have missed your quoted section because I opened the link on mobile and couldn’t stand how disruptive the page was without ad block.

Interesting speculation but wish there was a bit more information in the article. For anyone interested, this particular species of candida is considered highly dangerous because it is resistant to most of the antifungal medications we currently use

As someone who played and enjoyed most of the PS exclusives, +1 for the take. What games do you think are “the best ones”?

There’s a few for me but I’m going to go with A Knight’s Tale and The Other Guys. Can’t get enough of those 2

Guilty pleasure one for me is burn notice. It’s so over the top but so much style and coolness
