EB has been dying a slow death for a while. However, as dwwaino said, they do have Zing, which is basically what they make money from these days. As has been known for a while, EB don't make money from new sales (they do, but not "profit" like they want) and the second hand market is where they...

It's pretty incredible. It's sort of a cut down Hades, if I had to liken it to anything. Each run takes about 30 mins and there's a surprising chunk of story flowing through. The fact that it's free and could easily be a standalone that cost at least $15-$20 but behaves almost like a full...

Callisto Protocol, Farming Simulator 22 and Weird West for next month. https://press-start.com.au/news/playstation/2023/09/28/octobers-playstation-plus-essential-games-have-been-revealed/

Seems they got a bunch, I think it'd be this one:

Sounds like Gameranx?

I know someone will just be like "meh it's only $50" or "I spend that much on 3 pints at the pub, so why not on a video game" but $50 to play it 5 days early just seems like an insane rip when you can not pay that and just wait a bit more and still play the game anyway. Also means you pocket...

There's always consideration to creating more depth and systems. A lot of what has been discussed around improving or altering things has been discussed internally as is (prior to those discussions coming up) - which is always cool to see. If your ideas align with the greater public, you tend to...

I get there's a certain rhetoric that you're going for when making these statements but to think these things weren't taken into consideration during development is actually a bit laughable. Of course these sorts of things are looked at, but you make a concerted decision when doing so to make...

It cannot be stated enough that altering likenesses has no effect on any other portion of the game being altered, added to or changed. An artist cannot do the things a programmer can do, and a programmer cannot do the things an artist can do. Adding, changing or altering likenesses is a simple...

The lighting is pretty damn good, which I think compensates for a lot of anything else being average. The environment/props to me look like they've been scanned in, rather than individually textured. Which I think is why some are flatter, repetitive or missing detail in some areas. The gun...

Just to use this as a starting point and final point. Ratings are literally not close to final, take that as gospel. I've got near final ratings that have players swapped 50 places in a list (up and down). The ratings in the build were some of the earliest translations from CD that haven't been...

Welp, it's all over. :( Definitely felt a touch short, this ep, coming in at only 45 mins. Could've probably given a bit longer to some more moments. The ones we got were damn good, the expansion of why Ellie is immune, the moments with Ellie and Joel ("time heals all wounds"..."it wasn't...

That'd be all well and good, except that the first thing you said after the episode was "I fast forwarded the kissing scenes" (which I absolutely have no idea how you do that anyway - are you sitting there with remote in hand waiting for any and all kissing scenes to skip the whole 1 extra...
