Hi, I'm Silver. I'm 24 and have grand delusions of understanding writing, (video) game design and some other forms of art; and I'm obsessed with talking about them. I really hate and do not play Destiny 2.

Vote with your wallet. Send the message that this is simply unacceptable. And I hope the German government rakes them over the coals for taking 6M Euros from a cultural fund and then using AI localization.
It’s one Eff You after another to players and now cultural institutions.

Just found out that the Switch 2 re-release of Kirby Forgotten Land - one of my favorite games ever, and favorite Kirby game period - has substantial extra content the original release doesn't.

For everyone excited about the next Destiny DLC reimplementing GM Nightfalls:
Bungie have already proven they aren't above removing content period, from anywhere in the game, but they aren't above removing content after adding it (back), potentially at fan request. Please, don't fall for it.

After playing Destiny 2 and 2/4... Uh, i mean Borderlands 4, i have come to the conclusion that Borderlands 2 was a fluke. They're just not good. BL2 had some kind of magic behind it that nobody has been able to successfully replicate, not even Gearbox.

That's ridiculous and can only be correct with horribly skewed averages + very biased sampling (both, in this case).

Honestly, at this point, if you're still buying annual CoD games in the year of our lord 2025, you're either a mindless NPC, or you're mostly just buying them out of peer pressure from your friends and family.
There are better online shooters out there to get into nowadays than this worthless slop.

A shift away from single-player leaves Call of Duty with its most lopsided and homogenous entry in decades, though what it does offer is consistently good fun when accepted on its own terms.

im sorry bungie having to settle on a clearly bogus copyright suit primarily because they deleted half of their game is really fucking funny
🚨NEW: The lawsuit where an author accused Bungie of copying elements from his work for Destiny 2’s Red War and Curse of Osiris campaigns, as well as the Grimoire Anthology books, has ended in a full settlement.

Reminder that Arc Raiders uses gen. AI in its creation. If you give this game any money, or beyond the bare minimum in publicity or time to verify this, you are complacent in the precedent it's attempting to normalize, and thus in part responsible for all the damage gen. AI has done the last years.
For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

The thing that strikes me about replacing voice actors with AI slop is that, in the scope of a big AA/AAA production it barely saves money? These people aren't even full time. It's immizerating people because immizerating people is your goal, nothing more.
