@Tiwill44: I love this franchise. The lore, the depth of the combat and the beauty of the world all make it pretty special for me. In particular, in terms of narrative I find the idea of tribal people...

Yes, and I knocked on doors for Kamala in a swing state. I ended up voting Dem down the ballot. I was open to Republicans for local positions but even the moderate ones brought up nonsense about 'ele...

@joshrmeyer: I don't mean to demean you. I apologize if you were offended by my message. I do see you get a lot of information from Youtube which is a uniquely inaccurate source for a few reasons:Anyo...

@joshrmeyer said:@Maroxad: She has an earpiece in on live tv. She literally slipped up and said she’s on live tv to whoever was talking to her through it. Those polls don’t mean she’s winning. Look b...

My question is: are these lay-offs due to the acquisition or are they the result of yet another tech company spending like mad in the hopes they'll unlock huge growth and then punishing workers when t...

Maybe I need to get my vision checked but this seems like an obvious step in graphics to me. Also they appear to be nailing the vibe. There is probably no place more ripe for satire right now than Flo...

After all of the ink spilt over this deal by both media and gamers, Microsoft's track record with acquisitions doesn't exactly get me excited. There's also the possibility that MS chooses to lean har...

The way exploration feels in this game really knocks the wind out of my sails. Space should feel...vast, daunting, awe-inspiring? Clicking though menus to travel between stars conveys none of that. I ...

@nilsdoen: Were the game's shortcomings related to bugs or performance (e.g. Redfall) I could understand blaming MS. A lack of support from the publisher could in theory lead to lack of personnel/fina...

I will be playing later today but the IGN and Gamespot reviews seem to confirm what I most feared: Starfield doesn't do space exploration well or rather it doesn't really do it at all. The promise of ...

I am kinda puzzled by the praise for this game. I know its gameplay was revolutionary when it originally came out. Now, however, I would just say it works well and is fun enough. The story is just non...

@BeefoTheBold: It could be a question of different audiences for each console. Not all game exclusives are equally motivating of hardware purchase across both the XBOX and PS consumer base. Playstatio...

@BeefoTheBold: Microsoft will in effect become the publisher of CoD if the merger goes through so they will indeed make money from every Call of Duty game sold on Playstation. Microsoft also loses mon...

Call me naive but there may be reason to believe Microsoft here, even if they do have motive to not be 100% forthcoming about the financial incentives of CoD exclusivity. The amount of exclusive Plays...

Four hours seems like a long enough charge to me. I can't imagine most people play for longer than that?

@chriss_m: Agreed! I felt Ghostwire reviews were a little harsh. I loved the moments where you'd get stuck in a hallway and things would psychedelic. Terrifying but wonderful art design.

Obviously the lack of quality software is a big part of the issue here. What is the likelihood that MS can rectify this now that they've laid off staff from some of their biggest developers? Their wor...

@monkeyporn: If you love the game, then you know that Sarah's skin color (and whether she is Joel's biological or adopted child) is absolutely immaterial to the story.

I actually view the density and impracticality of owing a car as positives. Americans seem to hate both of these things but I would point out that the alternative followed by most of the rest of the c...

@espoac: My understanding is that 538's forecast is the result of aggregating polls and then adjusting and weighting based on objective factors (GDP, unemployment etc.) and subjective inputs.So maybe ...
