It’s way easier than this: if the game includes in-game purchases with real money of any type, the game should be +18. That’s all. A kid can’t have a credit card for obvious reasons, I don’t understand why would they have access to a system that asks for one.

Damn americans! They can’t be ever pleased. First time a president does exactly what he promises and everyone is losing their minds as if he was being a dictator…

This is the kind of situation in which we win whatever the result.

Billionaires losing billions is a great thing.

But billionaires “solving” their losses issue is certainly enticing.

Considering the amount of people that either voted trump or not voted at all, I’d say that there’s a portion of americans lying.

Nah, he’s cutting corners in bomb detecting dogs, it’s gonna be a Carrero Blanco 2 electric boogaloo

I thought that we already established that in Magastan “illegal” is only for poor people.

Took his sweet time to realize he could put +100% tariffs.

It’s fine tho, we’ll sell our high quality liquors to other markets. See? The problem with putting tariffs to the whole world is that the whole world answers in kind. But only against you, wno started the tariffs. We can sell our liquors to Asia, to Canada or to Australia just fine. But your whiskey is right now nuclear waste; nobody wants it.

Guys, if you live in Magastan, talk to your doctors, ask them to give you any shot they can of anything that needs a booster over time (or that you miss) and do it ASAP. If a new pandemic from a new virus comes, you’ll be fucked, but at least you won’t be if what you suffer is an epidemic of a fucking preventable disease.

Pity they released him so fast. Idiots like this are part of the reason the whole world is now suffering the turd presidency, so no amount of schadenfraude will be enough when it comes to them.

I am starting to consider seriously that he might be mentally challenged or showing signs of neuronal decline due to age and other conditions.

Awesome! For what I’ve heard, living near a Magastan consulate is a major pain. Checkpoints everywhere, military pressence, you can’t take pics near the area…

I’ve been doing that for years. And I’m trying to make my friends see how these things are bad for them even if they don’t pirate.

But then, Nintendo releases a new Pokemon and everyone goes “eh, I know that Nintendo is the worst, and I know they are harming the industry… but I can’t skip this pokemon game!”.

Nintendo customers suffer from a big case of Stockholm syndrome and nobody can’t convince me of the opposite.

They are probably highly understaffed. Also underfunded, and working on yearly releases.

There is reason for this: either greed or incompetence. Or both. There is no reason for game freak to keep their studio so small if not to save money or because they can’t manage more people. They have the most profitable IP in the world, it can’t be a lack of funds.

Not only. BotW was a wiiu title too, so it had to be made considering the limits of wiiu!

Something selling in the tens of thousands of millions at every release has zero reason to do better.

If any, it has all the reasons to find the lowest point in which they keep selling that much so they can cut effort as much as possible while maintaining the income.

Well, unless you have a way to check that every single user on the internet is not a velociraptor, it’s not a given.

I just like being clear about myself.

(It’s also very annoying when people keep calling you velociraptor just because they saw jurassic park and think they know how a velociraptor looks like)

“In free countries, like the United States is, leaders don’t get to pick who covers them day in and day out”

I love how lately, we need to clarify that the US is a free country, as if it wasn’t a given.

If you want a big open world game, I can recommend Mad Max, you can find it in fanatical (a legal and trusted store) for $2.49. I had a lot of fun with it and it will give you tons of hours of fun.

I actually recommend you that site for steam keys since they often do bundles very cheap to help your library grow without spending a fortune.

Well, you are assuming a lot of things I haven’t said there.

First of all, I said that in the AAA world, original games are rare. They exist, but they are rare. And there’s a reason: an AAA game is made by a company that has a stakeholders board deciding what has to be done and what not (which is the reason why people say BG3 is not an AAA game but an indie). Since those boards want their money and only that, they don’t care about innovation or anything else.

This doesn’t mean that AAA companies don’t make original games, it only means that they rarely experiment and tend to focus on already succesful formulas.

Second, I never said that AAA games are just “big games I don’t like”. As I said, sometimes they do good games. But seriously, how many times have you seen an AAA company take a serious risk in what they do?

Also, I don’t think it’s just the usual three. I think GTA is doing the same. What are they gonna do with 6? Just GTA V but bigger. That’s exactly what I mean when I say that they don’t innovate.

For the record, an AAA game is a game with a big budget from a big studio. I think everyone can agree that an Assassin’s Creed is an AAA game while shovel knight isn’t.
