It's very rare to spot a whole comments section on a gaming article unanimously respond with a clear "fuck right off with that bullshit!" in this day and age.

If we can't bond over saving human lives, maybe we can at least find common ground over despising NFTs. 😬

Didn’t you say you have an Oculus or something?


Anyways, here’s an immersive map pack I’d like to try in VR-

I have an original occulus which unfortuantely typically doesn't run these aps. Like REsident Evil 4 VR wont run on the original occulus, i would need an Occulus 2 for it. And frankly I only ever used the VR headset for porn because the games are too limiting tbh.

There's a number of these but it's an interesting look at how the map of Hyrule has evolved over the course of the series and attempting to link them together in a coherent fashion.

Sadly there's not one for BOTW yet.

10 years ago, 'Uncharted 3' stole its best idea from ancient Islamic myth

The plot of 'Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception' is heavily inspired by the Quran, but developer Naughty Dog has never admitted to the connection.

Guessing they think it’s still too controversial.

Who thinks it's too controversial, the writer of the article or someone else?

It looks incredible graphically, but i have doubts it will be a good game to play. That looked about as interactive as Ryse Son of Rome was.

The hack and slash gameplay was just alright in the first game too. Nothing exactly special. Ryse has better gameplay than both of these. Ninja Theory can do whatever they want, so long as they're not acting like douchebags, I'm fine. Wake me up when there's gameplay footage of Wonder Woman.

It’s either Sony/ND not wanting to mention/credit the Quran because of religious or social implications with offending other people or just being movie-biased and ignorant due to the business they’re in.

Pretty much, because there are still people in the west who shit bricks if you mention Islam in any way. It's why Ubisoft started their "We are a diverse yada yada yada...." statement in their AC games(maybe the other ones too). Don't get me wrong, there are Muslims who get really, really fucking upset over certain topics and while I'm not anywhere close to a religious expert, I'm pretty sure talking about ancient legends in the Quran isn't one of the things most Muslims tend to get particularly upset over, if they care at all(much like the average Westerner isn't gonna start a fistfight over Atlantis).

I'm posting this here too, because it's important. These universities are setting up people for failure. To be overworked and to go crazy. The professors are people that were in the game design either 10 or over 20 years ago, but none of the updates are new standards. And a majority of them are egotistical jackasses that yell and demean their students for no reason or for the pettiest reasons. Insulting students that are disabled or have autism.
