@cikame said:@ll_exile_ll: I don't know much about pay in Poland or whether there's tax incentives in game development, but i do know they have world leading employee protections, so at the very leas...

I think it's as simple as the fact it's cheaper to operate in Poland than it is in Tokyo or Texas. Poland is a growing game development locale thanks to CDPR, so it's full of developers with AAA exper...

I played this game 25 years ago! I don't need any excuses.

This game had been on my radar for a while and when I saw it on game pass a couple weeks back I took it as the perfect chance to finally play it.I enjoyed it a lot. Very cute with chill vibes. In term...

Multiplayer games have always consumed more time than single player games, so popular multiplayer games are always going to be at the top of playtime lists like this. Even big open world games or leng...

@efesell said:I just love the ambition of the Trails narrative such that I forgive a lot of little failings here and there. IV juggles a lot, drops a few, but the end result was still really impressi...

@ben_h: I agree with pretty much everything you've said here, but I would also like to add that the expanded scope of voice acting is awesome and something I've wished the series would do for a while....

Seems like a clear case of the big 3 contenders just being ordered 1-3 based mostly on sales. More people played Zelda than BG3, and more people played BG3 than Alan Wake.Obviously, this is unavoidabl...

Twitch really should just branch off its sexualized content into its own thing. Having the Twitch front page being a combination of gaming content and a softcore onlyfans alternative just really does...

@bigsocrates said: As for "The Last of Us Part 3"....do we need it? I feel like The Last of Us Part 2 kind of said what it needed to, and we are now going to have remakes of both games and Naughty Do...

@av_gamer said: It was mostly okay, but the award Cyperpunk 2077 got was complete BS, and I like that game just fine.It feels to me like Cyberpunk won that category because the Game Awards doesn't hav...

I also ended up putting down Yakuza 0, which is actually something I very rarely do. I finish like 95% of the games I play, but I stopped playing Yakuza 0 like 40 hours in. I often succumb to complet...

@av_gamer said:For me, the legacy of the Xbox One will always be the console that put Microsoft in a position I don't think they will ever recover from fully. They were coming off the success of the ...

There were a lot of bad decisions made with the Xbox One, but the most baffling to me will always be the focus on cable TV in an era where cord cutting was already a growing phenomenon (especially amo...

I enjoyed this well enough for what it is, but I don't think this is a game that will stick with me or anything. It looks nice, the gameplay was engaging to a degree, and your little buddy is very cut...

According to Jason Schreier, this was mostly driven by Destiny falling under projections in the last year. Revenue down 45% and player population dropping.To me, this can all be traced back to Destin...

@doncabesa said: Starfield was massively successful. This reorganization is more about bettering communication between studios as far as I can tell. Bethesda is still run by Jamie Leder, who reports t...

I don't know how much this will impact Bethesda Game Studios directly, but boy do they need an infusion of new ideas and a challenge to their entrenched design and writing approach. Starfield has bas...

Not sure I agree with the premise that scripted set pieces are a thing of the past. Sure, open ended games have grown in number, but big scripted sequences haven't gone away. Spider-Man 2 came out ju...

Looking at my own list of 2023 releases I've played, I count 15 games so far and I think I would have Starfield at 14. I could see shuffling around the games in the 12-14 range, so I could possibly be...
