Sony "I've had the worst PR of any publisher this week" Microsoft hold my beer
-
Too bad there wasn’t a huge studio closure just yesterday before this script was finished. That would be bad timing.
-
Isn't it magical how all those "technical issues" and "safety concerns" disappeared once Playstation realized the backlash they caused?
-
Back when I used to be very active with Tekken 7 I got my ass handed to me by an Eddy player. After a massive losing streak I turned and said to him, “I don’t know anything about this character”. To which he replied, “I don’t know anything about any character”
-
If Sony is Drunk and Nintendo is High, then Microsoft is straight up suicidal, genuinely don't know what they're doing closing the studio to what is arguably their greatest game in years
-
Yup steam giving refunds was a GOAT move. Hit Sony where it hurt
-
Somewhere in the distance, Dunkey sheds a single tear at the news of another scrapped Donkey Kong project.
-
I just want to make a gigantic katamari ball of all the funko pops in existence and throw it into the sun
-
RIP Tango Gameworks
-
RIP Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin
-
Alan Wake 2 could recoup its costs in a single day on Steam
-
Just a quick throw-in: Arkane Austin "only" made Prey and Redfall, Dishonored was made by Arkane Lyon, which is still active (for now), so at least we're still getting Dishonored, even though Prey was also a masterpiece
-
Hold on. Skill up didn't mention Tunic is also free on ps+. I got that with FIFA 24 And Ghost runner 2 instead of the destiny expansion. A lotta ppl seem to love Tunic so I thought it was important to mention
-
It's funny how Genshin Impact's fanbase got in just as much outrage as Helldivers a few months ago and the company literally just sat there and watched
-
31:51 Ouch! My palms hurt just looking at Aloy zipping down the rope with her bare hands.
-
I disagree with you on one thing, I thought Arrowhead joking about cape was pretty cool
-
its so baffling why they sold HD2 on 177 regions without PSN services in the first place
-
Xdefiant looks like the most unremarkable game I've ever seen and you couldn't come up with a better title for a game that will be immediately forgotten
-
Also of note in Destiny 2 is that in addition to Lightfall being on PS+, Bungie themselves are making the previous 3 expansions and the 4 Lightfall seasons accessible to all players until Final Shape.
-
Goddamn those studio closures made me sad, I loved Prey so much. Mismanagement is so rife right now... Thanks for the episode!
