Gaming General Discusison

Dead Space, you deserved better. Much better.
I had so many good times with Dead Space. All three games.

I guess Dead Space 3 was a fitting end in a way.
The extra campaign has the hideously unstoppable force show they truly are hideous and unstoppable and everything was ultimately doomed from the beginning.
 
I'm a big Dead Space fan and even though I had a lot of problems with Dead Space 3, Visceral did not deserve to go out like this

Genuinely bummed out over this

I'm guessing EA didn't want us to have a game with 0 microtransactions, fuckin' A
Since when can't you have microtransactions in singleplayer? You should tell that shitty Lord of the Rings game and quite a few Ubisoft games.

Personally found Dead Space pretty tedious with its "if every time you see a vent or body something jumps at you, and that's every 30 seconds" brand of horror, but it certainly sucks that all those people are out of work, hopefully they find somewhere better to work than EA since I hear they're pretty terrible to work for.

Netherrealm Studios has reached out their arms and confirmed they have multiple job openings, at least.
So they shouldn't be unemployed for long.

The Original version of Dead Space 3 was going to explore Isaac's mind space and focus more on insanity before EA put its foot down and forced them to appeal to the CoD/mainstream crowd.
I honestly hope Visceral's remnants makes Not-Dead Space and make it close to their original vision for DS 3 just to raise a giant middle finger to EA
Like how Bloodstained rose 3 million despite Konami saying no one wanted a Metroidvania anymore

Not-Dead Space
Dead Space was already Not-Resident Evil 4 with System Shock 2 paint on it so it's not like those devs aren't willing to offbrand it up.

would not-dead space just be space bioshock with less social commentary?
 
Got off a cool combo in Pokken but nobody believes you did it? Got the entire enemy team with a roller with 10 seconds left but no proof? Well Nintendo Switch says good bye to those bygone days and say hello to insta recordings!

 
but can it record the lack of a f zero game
 
i started playing tis-100

ow
it hurts
 
I don't know why I keep coming back to the second Knights of the Old Republic game. Gameplay and Leveldesign are afwul, tedious and infested with game-breaking bugs. Even getting this heap of hardly working code to run properly is a hassle. But something about the narrative, the characters and the overall flavour of the game just keeps pulling me in every few years.

Today on Chortling at EA's expense.
Someone pointed out that in Star Wars Battlefront 2: To unlock iconic characters like Luke and Darth Vader as playable Heroes, you'd have to play upwards of 40 hours to unlock ONE of them.
EA responded to this on Reddit by saynig the intent was for it to be "rewarding" or something to that effect.
It proceeded to become the most downvoted response on Reddit History.
EA Proceeded to call people asking for the time requirements to change it "Armchair Developers"
So after that, they lowered the cost, but also lowered the credits you got from completing Campaign, basically changing nothing.

Oh, and you want some more oil on this dumpster fire?
You wanna have fun playing Arcade and also earn some Credits?
Well, there's a limit to how you can earn.
After you reach that limit, you can't earn ANY for 3 hours.
Reach that cap again? 14 Hours.
Reach that AGAIN somehow? 24 Hours.
They somehow turned Battlefront 2 into a Freemium Game that costs $60 to get in the first place.

TL;DR: Battlefront 2 could've been a good game but EA happened.
Maybe consider buying something else this month if you had plans

One more thing.
After a mass amount of refunds on Battlefront 2, EA REMOVED The Refund button on their site. Forcing you to do it over the phone or in chat.
Fun.

Haven't bought neither battlefront but that's it. Everytime I'll see something where EA has their hands in I'll go ahead and remind everyone of this shit.

Never. Buy. EA.

Spread that mantra like a meme. Those fuckers have always been bastards, but now they fucked up big time. The public knows now. It's time they starve.

I just feel sad when I think of DICE's stake in all this.
They clearly, legitimately, TRULY wanted to make an improvement on Battlefront and improve everything the last game did and give everyone wha tthey wanted
All DLC was to be free of charge, even!
But then EA had to step in and muck it all up because, Oh, that's unprofitable, we need some of these lootboxes in here to make it p2w
DICE is not at fault here, when this game fails, blame EA.
Blame EA as loud as you can, because DICE were clearly forced to add these horrible additions by their publisher.
 
the entire "aaa" industry needs to be burned to the ground

really though I'm more disappointed in all the idiots who keep fucking buying this tripe

Allow me to add to this spectacle with this. I don't think any more words are necessary beyond this.

Perfect summary of EA.
Now remember Ubisoft is just as bad.
 
things like this make me wait patiently for the game crash so we can see who comes out on the other side alive
 
Prediction: The game will still sell enough that EA doesn't end up treating it as anything more than a PR gaffe.

They're gonna turn the microtransactions back on once they think we've forgotten about this. Make no mistake.
I'm glad the backlash to this has been so loud that even Disney appears to have listened
(Allegedly, EA got a stern talking to from Disney on the phone)
 
Don't forget the okami sequel!
Shame Capcom probably won't budge on letting Kamiya see his kids again

This is nothing new. Kamiya has said he’s wanted to do this for years. Hell, he even said it during Wonderful 101’s development.

Ruiner got a free update yesterday adding NG+, new weapons, finishing moves(?), new outfits, new music and a speedrun mode complete with leaderboards. If you like cyberpunk at all that game is definitely worth checking out, I don't even play twin stick shooters in general but this is pretty high up in my favorite games of this year and that's saying a lot considering everything that has come out this year.

There's no DMC 5 in sight
Mate, Itsuno has been hyping up his new project for like a year now, DMC 5 could very well be announced this year still.
 
Itsuno is the last bastion of purity at Capcom
If he can't, no one can
