Blizzard went to shit so completely that they made EA look good in comparison. Ubisoft too. Crazy. Maybe this is EA’s way of reclaiming the top spot?

I did. Only ever played the shareware episode, but it was one of my favourite platformers, alongside Duke Nukum and Cosmo.

It was toned down in FC2 too, because otherwise the whole map burnt down completely all the time.

Ooh, I started a new VR playthrough recently, without a concrete plan (well, beyond joining the Brotherhood, because Music of Life by Young Scrolls is amazing).

This looks like it could spice things up!

Oh god. I just realised the slowpoke/IE format is never going to stop being viable.

No, sorry. Sometimes I don’t want to answer a question and just feel like being a smartass to hopefully get a chuckle from a handful of people.

Xotic56 has you covered.

What didn’t they screw up?

A lot of companies turned to utter shit over the years but Blizzard hit me the hardest I think.

Like Borderlands 4 was too big to fail, only to become laughing stock that only sold…

Hold on, how the fuck did Borderlands 4 sell more than 2.5 million copies?! OK, I take your point.

Let’s fucking go!

I mean, it could. It means you likely bought it because you are dumb and/or addicted to the series, both of which increase odds of giving it a better review.

It is what saved the initiative though. It’s certainly useless now, but at least it helped get across the finish line, tasteless as it may be.

You’re selling flight tickets before the plane is even built.

I’m pretty sure that’s actually happening in some cases.

The other way around. I grew up playing games on PCs that were quite underpowered for a long time. I played Doom like this. Hell, I had to reduce screen size even in Wolfenstein 3D. I loved fog in GTA San Andreas because it reduced draw distance and when it was raining in Las Venturas, I had to look at my feet like I was speedrunning Goldeneye. I played through Oblivion in a 640 x 480 window and thought it looked amazing. I still have to fight not to turn off AA completely first time running a game on my RTX 3080 because it was the first thing to go for so long.

All of this trained my brain so now I have bulit-in antialiasing and frame generation. I don’t give a shit. Give me good art direction and gameplay loop and I can just generate smooth graphics in my head.

That’s one more person than I expected!

Also, oddly enough, I was only half-jokíng. Never played Hollow Knight, but I’m cautiously optimistic about Deadpool.

Awww, I was hoping for a new Deadpool VR trailer…

Swallow, come!

Maybe you forgot, but the original Bloodlines was notable for being released in an extremely broken state.
