I saw the failure of this one coming a mile away.

Remedy are a strange studio tbh. They make these cult following, technically impressive third person cinematic action games but continue to nerf their chances of success by chasing trends.

Them making a MP shooter always seemed like a bad idea.

They have tried a few times prior...but they never quite managed the killing blow.

I'm sure the last time was with a sharpened toilet brush...lol

Good. Hope it was painful.

Plus it's the only mode that let you play as a cute Volus!

I also really dislike the designs of the reaper ground forces. They all feel like rejected Dragon Age enemies with a "husk" skin applied to them. There is literally a crappy looking dragon enemy and it just feels really dumb to me.

Shepherds run animation is bad too. Dude runs like a child. Lol

Finished ME3. The best combat in the series, but probably the worst RPG. And because of the urgency of the plot there aren't as many leisurely explorations around hub locations outside of the citidel, which kinda kills it for me.

The endings and not being able to holster your weapon still suck.

TMNT have been massive IP sluts for the last few years and I'm totally here for it.

They even managed to squeeze themselves into World of Warships.

If it exists it can have a TMNT crossover apparently. 😅

This is why I find it easy to walk away from situations like this. The sheer volume of better alternatives out there, regardless of the game/band/book/comic/movie etc that you enjoy makes leaving it behind incredibly simple.

Just pick one that doesn't actively support a terrible person.

Blocked him already. Lol.

Some people's fandoms are sadly stronger than their desire to be decent, empathetic people.

It's not even hard to not fund the witch since every piece of media is digital and can be acquired via the seven seas. No-one needs to financially support her or the shitty IP.

I hope they don't somehow fuck this up. The original and it's sequel are 2 of the best point and click games.

Syberia 3 however was such a turd. Lol

I bought oblivion remastered on steam for £35. It took me almost 2 months to complete. If I'd have played that on Gamepass it would have cost the same in sub fees and I wouldn't own the game at the end of it. What a deal!

The best value way to game is honestly just not succumbing to FOMO.

I don't even have issues with the fact it's a glorified rental service. But unless you're literally only playing Gamepass games and playing multiple games a month it's simply a bad deal.

Gaming isn't the same as movies and TV where you can stream a few episodes a night. they can be 100+ hours long.

It makes me think Microsoft are actively trying to destroy the Xbox brand so they can ungracefully bow out of the industry.

There's no way a normal business trying to succeed screws up as much as they have over this generation. It's mind blowing.

Jokes on you! I'm actually finishing it.

KORNdoggychub @korndoggychub.bsky.social · 2d

I always finish my piece! 😏

KORNdoggychub @korndoggychub.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah. The reason is so they can be finished 🙂

KORNdoggychub @korndoggychub.bsky.social · 2d

You can finish all of these once work is finished! Yippie! 🎉

Over a 50% increase!

Yeah, you can jog the fuck on Microsoft.
