It's a sh*t port but LOL using IGN for a technical analysis by I'm assuming the failed clown cow known as NXGamer!

Just goes to show you how professional reviewers are garbage giving it almost perfect scores across the board. Happened with DS, any Rockstar sh*t, CP2077 etc.

No, we didn't discuss anything like that. The topic came up when we were discussing layoffs in general and how your average Joe has no power whatsoever. I mean you might be true about that but I don't know how would that work if no manager looking over you?

I did know about a similar thing though but with Google. In Google maintaining a service or keeping it up doesn't count or take you far. You have to propose and come up with a new product in order to climb the ranks. That's why the company at one time has 4 messaging apps competing with each other. Make a new product/idea, work on it regardless of any real value or feasibility, climb the corporate ladder, when the project inevitably fails blame someone else or something else,rinse and repeat.

I was always told by cows that PC gamers bash Sony games because they are jealous. Told them nobody cares about Sony's one and done games propped up just by production values. It's a different market that values gameplay/mechanics over long cut-scenes or Press X to win.

Because Valve is a company that's literally run by employees and not by an executive dictating what should be done. It works like a co-operative and in some ways even better than a co-operative even though Gabe owns it but he doesn't run it.

I recently met a person who worked at Valve and seriously I was dumbfounded when I heard how the company functions. It was almost like something from a fantasy utopia, employees themselves decide what project to work on, who and when to hire and who gets how much bonus etc.

I don't see what's the difference between mid gen refresh or next-gen anymore. Devs have only now stopped supporting last gen so what difference does it make? They can easily market it as next-gen or mid gen. Nothing really will change, gone are the days of substantial jumps in performance so at this point in time it's basically whatever the marketing department will come up with.

Thanks for the explanation. I always assumed it's more nuanced than the hurr durr, the zombies will be black because you're in Africa. I can totally see why it can be offensive to some people especially who encounter it regularly in daily lives.

I played it when it came out and I my self didn't see it as racist but it's a while back and I also don't remember much apart from the bulky protagonist Chris and hot Sheva. Was also a teenager back then so wasn't even that knowledgeable.

Cool so from 2060/S to 2080ish?

Apart from the live service and sport games:

Halo (Never looked interesting to me)

Final Fantasy (Actually tried 13 for 5 minutes and uninstalled)

Elder Scrolls/Fallout (Tried Skyrim and F4 for an hour minutes and uninstalled them immediately)

Pokemon - Again never see the appeal of it

Persona or most other JRPGs - Have no interest in anime

Any of the older Star War games

Duke Nukem

Out of all the games you listed Anno is the only decent one. Avatar is pretty much a typical Ubisoft open world crap.

AC Mirage is still AC. No need to say anything about AssCreed.

Far Cry 6 was Far Cry - a typical Ubisoft open world garbage.

As for supporting games longer? Well, they do so they can milk the base but that doesn't mean the games or mechanics themselves are good or enjoyable. They literally make chores and not games.
