GameStop is terrible for the industry. GameStop is chock full of terrible business practices. Fuck GameStop.

You used to be able to literally brick your build (get to a point where it’s impossible to progress any further) in Bethesda games. I’m sure that’s changed now, but that paranoia lingers.

Have you played Katamari Damacy? I feel like it was a pretty obvious influence on Donut County.

PS - Donut County is on Gamepass for anyone who has it.

I prefer Leisure Suit Larry, but I’ll upzipper any Sierra game!

Shame. If people keep paying for “head start”, companies will keep selling them and making bank off FOMO.

On the plus side, plenty of guides getting created so I can start tomorrow without fear of fucking up my first character too badly.

Old news. We knew this was coming weeks ago and there was a big thread about it on here.

Diablo 3 has great couch co-op. D4 has it too, but that game sucks. D3 is better, especially if it’s still new to you.

they come with codes for virtual items as well.

Ooh, this is a great compromise. I like this idea!

IGN review said they tried it briefly and it worked fine, but no info about crossplay.

That would at least be headline-worthy!

I have Gamepass so I’m not paying for Starfield. :-D (I know I sound like a broken record, but Gamepass is easily my favorite subscription service that I pay for these days, when it comes to entertainment value per dollar.)

But yeah, getting AC6 first and waiting on Starfield instead is not a bad option if you don’t have Gamepass. Starfield will only get better over time with patches and mod support. AC6 will probably not change significantly over time.

I’m not really concerned about the aggregate score. I’m sure it’ll be a solid game. I’m just interested in the presumed flaws. Like any product, reading the details of the negative reviews is often far more revealing than the gushing reviews.

We call this “The Full Asmongold”.

Oh right, I forgot that people insist on humoring that change. I feel like if everyone keeps just calling it Twitter, he’ll just quietly change it back.

Regardless, X was used to represent a variable for about a thousand years longer than Musk has been using it, so I will keep using it that way too.

Interesting to read the less than stellar reviews. I might try to hold off on this one and grab it on sale later, especially with Starfield coming out soon.

I really hope the new AC is a return to form. The first one is still my favorite, though the Ezio chronicles were also really good. This new one looks like they’re trying to get back to the feel of the original.

I doubt it will be anywhere near as good as AC1 or 2. This is modern Ubisoft we’re talking about here. But I hope…

Yeah it is unfortunate. But “hope for the best, expect the worst” serves me well in life and is particularly apt when it comes to video game launches.

First time trying a new game at launch?

Pro-tip: plann for queues and crashes for the first day at least.

Pro-tip #2: maybe read or watch a review before buying. That game looks terribad and reviews aren’t particularly good.

This hits all the points pretty succinctly. Nice.
