    Discussion The Game Awards: Expansions, DLC, Remakes, Remasters All Eligible for All Categories

    Just when we all thought Elden Ring was gonna be out of the running, we get a twist like this! I'm thinking now I have to reassess my list of potential nominees, so as not to ignore the Eldenphant in the room. 😀

    Discussion The 2024 Game Award is rigged?

    Well, it is called Pride.com, so you'd sort of anticipate content created or enjoyed by the LGBTQ+ community would be featured on their outlet. Gamespot is likely in there, along with IGN, PCGamer, Eurogamer, etc. The jury has over 100 voting participants, and they change each year, though...

    Discussion The 2024 Game Award is rigged?

    Because Pride.com reviews video games, and the jury is basically just a collection of gaming media and influencers. We can see based on inclusions like Wall Street Journal that these outlets do not have to be exclusively gaming focused. The jury selection team likely felt it appropriate to have...

    Discussion What Are You Playing Right Now?

    I played the older one and felt kind of mid about it. Hoping they maybe learned and improved for the sequel.

    Discussion The 2024 Game Award is rigged?

    Everyone already knows how the Game Awards are chosen. There are other gaming awards that are selected through popular choice, if that is somehow a "not rigged" system. If you're someone who feels passionately about game awards, that's great. However, many people are only watching TGA for game...

    Discussion What Are You Playing Right Now?

    I've heard really positive things about both Unicorn Overlord and Granblue Fantasy. What flavor of JRPG are you in the mood for? I'm playing a tactical RPG made by a western dev, but very clearly inspired by FF tactics and emblem at the moment.

    Discussion The Doomers and Gloomers, Sony is dying thread.

    The thing about CCU numbers on Steam is that they're so easily accessible as a point of data relative to other metrics for financial performance, it tends to be used very broadly to interpret success.

    News Square Enix Takes a $350 Million Hit in Value as Stock Plummets

    IMO I think it's clear they're course correcting, but their recent report didn't deliver any announcements which would suggest a short term "saving grace." They're reducing their portfolio of titles releasing simultaneously, focusing on higher quality releases, and expanding cross platform...

    Discussion The Doomers and Gloomers, Sony is dying thread.

    I think family games might have a harder time of it on Steam, because the concept of it as a shared platform hasn't really been adopted yet. I think they'd like to go in this direction, with the launch of Steam Family (which is honestly GOAT, I suggest everyone set one up or join one). It helps...

    News Square Enix Takes a $350 Million Hit in Value as Stock Plummets

    I actually think the Final Fantasy games have been getting progressively better with time, maybe with the exception of FF13 (the third installment mostly). I think the actual problem here is they flooded the market with JRPGs which only served to compete against themselves. Also, I think that...

    Discussion Is there a reason Sony/PlayStation is so lenient with people pirating there games through emulators on PC?

    Because developing emulators for Nintendo vs. PlayStation are apples and oranges. Take Switch for example, it uses hardware which is substantially older and more well documented than what's in a PlayStation. It's got ARM processors, and uses a Tegra architecture (which is just, incredibly well...

    Xbox New Xbox Campaign Seemingly Suggests Xbox Is More Of A Service Than A Console

    I think this is a smart move for them. They've been seeing a good amount of cross platform success, and tariffs next year are only going to further pressure hardware prices.
