i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

God dammit Todd

Man who announced new Elder Scrolls 7 years ago without anything being in development at all for about 4-5 of said years requests that we be excited for more snake oil in the form of a mid Unreal Engine Fallout 3 remaster that's 10x bigger in file size because they need it to look even more brown

Ngl it'd be hard to notice any genAI impact on Halo's worldbuilding after over a decade of "And then Cortana turned into a dictator and suddenly got killed by THE NOUN who were always in the lore and were so super powerful and cool that even the Covenant/Forerunners were scared of them!"

someone sent me this regarding FFXIV's fanbase and this really does perfectly describe the progression over the last several years

Dawntrail is not immune from criticism, but if you see anyone who calls it FFXIV’s Shadowlands, I want you to know they never actually played Shadowlands. Trust me.

The more press like this the game gets the more convinced I am it will completely crash the industry

Adding to the thread, Lyna and Hilda today. Has your favourite made the thread yet? Who are you still hoping to see? Lemme know! #FFXIV

very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games

I've been trying to put my finger on what exactly it is about Delta that looks just so awful to me, even beyond the complete erasure of the stylization (yes i know the bloom is overblown in the HD port shut up), and I think I realized it's because it looks like the "Hunt Down the Freeman" cutscenes.

I think we could make games quicker by drastically reducing the scope of projects so that not every title is some 50+ hour-long AAA project with massive bloat in every single aspect due to systemic incompetence on the middle manager level and above. But what do I know? I just play the games, man.

Fucking neopuritanical fascist dipshit cunts "Oooooh make it safer for children" Nobody's buying that horseshit, you dumbasses

This is probably one of the most scathing things I’ve ever written, but Xbox has made it impossible to get invested in games like Marvel’s Blade, OD, and the new Toys for Bob game. There’s no reason to believe they’ll ever come out, and that’s because of the horrible mismanagement at the company.

Feel like this has got some mileage

It bears reiterating, but the in-replicable combination of the pandemic quarantine, the major player exodus from WoW, and the culmination of a ~10 year long story produced sub numbers for Endwalker that shouldn’t be used as a standard or measure of an expansion’s quality.

Media Literacy In 2025

Considering that Perfect Dark's "gameplay" trailer was fake, I'm still of the belief that Fable's one was ALSO fake. Like without a doubt.

Y'know I'm not one to claim that this was inevitable. Except for all those times that I did... But yeah, the Bungie of today is a far, far cry from the Bungie of the 00's Anyway lets see Sony go "Oops we're shutting them down because nobody played Marathon" about a month after it launches.

shoutouts to the folks that got really upset when it turned out hydaelyn wasn't evil

Posting this classic from the old place before the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct in April, and all future ones of course.

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

from the phillipbankss vault 7/21/2018: ko-fi request: “PLEASE draw Hollywood Hulk Hogan sweating and looking at his hand where someone wrote dont be racist”

Still too much, Phil. Still too much.

Hilda for the FFXIV playing card deck today. #FFXIV

Does this investment firm also think that all those GTA V sales happened in the first two months and 13 sodding years or what?

So uh hey there I'm the Wyseman, or T'ele depending on who's asking. I like to gpose this small orange creature and her many exploits every now and then I'm also very fond of the highly underappreciated noble arse-kicker known as Hilda Ware. Might be a bit hard to tell

Ai could never replicate this at any level

Oh yeah sure, course not. Not like the most well received games in the series were turn-based or anything. Not like a great chunk of the least well received games were action shlock. These things are a LITTLE more connected than you think, Kotaku. Especially when you POINT IT OUT IN YOUR ARTICLE.

This weather is Pissing me off... I'm the original Starwalker

Also as an addition; sign this petition ASAP if you're someone in the UK. Rather than just sitting around and doing fuck all, we need to make it clear that this Bullshit OSA won't work. Ever. Nor do folk fucking want it. Contact your MPs about the bill too. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

I'll just keep the surprised Pikachu image on hand for when the next big data breach happens and it turns out that, SOMEHOW, that all those ID & bank card scans were actually retained, shall I? This entire fucking surveillance scheme is the stupidest pile of puritanical bullshit I've ever heard

the games market underwent a colossal shift that dramatically changed the marketing paradigm, and nobody noticed because the share button covered so much of it up. Now that's gone and my friend who spent 10 years pretending to be Fenris on a forum didn't know DA4 game out.

GENTLEMEN...BEHOLD

...Excuse me for a second.

I've been playing since around April 2021. WoW was well into its prolonged dying phase (which is still going on rn if you ask me) and I was tired of it Then I saw the climax of Shadowbringers on YT, had no sodding context at all, it looked rad Gave the free trial a go and stuck with it ever since

Made my own version of the 'Hakkari Dance' trend that was going around. Featuring Ves & Fylorne. #animation #myart #ocs
