A failure getting additional content. Reminds me of something
To be fair that was probably already in the pipeline when the game released, which wasn't that long ago.


Why does Phil still have a job?
Some spicy ass Blackmail photos? He's rigged the building with explosives and only a random employee whose identity only he knows has the detonator and will blow the whole thing if he's fired? IDK.

I mean, I found out today that Bethesda's review embargo only lifted on the day after release. Who heard that and didn't immediately cancel their preorder? That should have raised more red flags than a Chinese national pride parade.
lol who even preordered this shit

Especially since it's fucking "free" on GameAss. I dunno.

But every single time a game's review embargo lifts the day of release...you know it's dogshit. And shockingly enough it's another Bethesda shitbrick. Ya'll still holding out hope for Starfield? Because you shouldn't.

Expect nothing and you'll never be disappointed.

In other news I hope FF7Remake p2 doesn't get delayed. :)

I think a bunch of people saw Arkane Studios and thought "Wow, I remember those awesome games they made back in the day, I bet if I buy this game it'll make me feel young and happy like I did back then instead of old and miserable like I do now".

Nostalgia should be classified as an illicit drug.

Because he’s still better than Don “Not A Hat Trick” Mattrick?

Shh, we don't talk about that name here.

I usually don't have anything nice to say about gacha games, especially f2p ones, but it's baffling how it looks better than the supposed $70 "AAA" game

At least Zelda fans will be getting a good game this month. It'll probably be the darling for the Game Awards this year regardless of whatever else comes out. I already know I will hate the game so I wont be bothering with it, but I hope it's everything Zelda people want.

or.....Opps.

From what I've heard the new legend of Zelda is pretty damn fantastic so that's good at least.

But what else is coming out this year? So far the only game I think that was a critical darling was Hi-Fi Rush and re4 remake. There is Starfield, but knowing bethesda's luck I'm not so sure about it.

Eh, they were batting 0/3 for me on their last few before that even lol. I'll never fathom the people who somehow found Prey anything but boring tedious and flagarantly NOT "play your way" despite the game trying to put the idea there, but even then they were half of Youngblood, an unequivocal train wreck, and Deathloop, a mediocre FPS with a built in padding gimmick to try and make it seem worth the time.

And there's already enough Left4Dead clones out there that its like making a Battle Royale in 2019.

Also Dead Space remake, Jedi Survivor, Dredge, potentially good upcoming are System Shock remake, Street Fighter 6, Diablo 4, Sea of Stars, Lies of P, Baludr's Gate 3, Armored Core 6, Plucky Squire and this is not counting games that also have potential but most are assuming may not be great such as Starfield, Assassins Creed Mirage, Tekken 8, and The Lords of the Fallen. So please let's stop with the pity party oh no nothing good is coming out- plenty good is coming out. And if you wanna just say "well I don't care about those games" that's your business, I don't care about a lot of them either, but that's your taste not some objective observation.

The amount of money gacha make is pretty insane so the mobile game probably had a budget an order of magnitude above redfall. They're also different artstyle, the anime style look nice, but its gotten overused. Gameplay also tend to be rather poor tbh, genshin impact might might be one of the most profitable game ever, but its not because of stellar gameplay/combat (or writing for that matter).
