@dushness: I hope they use that opportunity to actually show the Trial of the Grasses in the game.

Well, here's a quote that will go over very well with gamers and age like fine wine.

Why would you say this stuff, Randy? How can you think this won't do anything but piss gamers off?

So long as the consequence and interesting and impactful, and make sense for the choices that lead there, I don't know that I need to feel rewarded for my choices in an RPG. Though it always nice when a previous choice comes back around a pays off later in unexpected ways.

@mike314159: I thought RDR2 was generally well liked.

@olddadgamer: It really is crazy how much money that game has generated over the last 13 years without actually being released.

I remember Chris Roberts massively over promising, taking forever, and then under delivering with Freelancer, so I stayed away from Star Citizen. But if it or the single player game (Squadron 42?) ever DOES come out, I’ll definitely give them a look.

Covered in their art, and draws overwhelmingly from their design language is a bit much, but clearly Bungie artists did use bits of their work in the game. So good Bungie admitted fault and is going to do something about it.

@chronocommander: How?

@naomha1: I don't remember publishers promising us prices would go down because of digital distribution. I remember a bunch of people speculating that could happen, and I think maybe even Valve suggested it when they were trying to sell Steam to a VERY belligerent internet of gamers.

The reason stated for prices NOT going down was, as I remember it, that brick-and-mortar retailers said they would not carry a game if they knew the publisher was undercutting them on Steam. Physical games were still the bulk of sales for a while after digital distribution arrived, so that kind of threat had a lot of weight behind it.

And I think Star Citizen is "only" at $800 million currently. But, at the rate it's going, it will in all likelihood pass a billion dollars in crowdfunding before it releases. : \

@nevrfearjbhere: Same. I'm ready for games to get smaller.

@blaznwiipspman1: I think the idea the only the rich and upper middle-class buy electronics is ridiculously out of touch, but not as out of touch as the idea that anyone who can afford a video game console deserves to pay more because they have "too much money".
