Good! It is a fantastic game after all. But you know how those numbers would have been way bigger? It has something to do with your stupid ass store ❤️

Empowerment and ownership are the new pride and accomplishment.

Loved the first game. This however? A Ubisoft game that is being developed for about 15 years. What could go wrong?

I can’t take it anymore. I want to play it now. Today a friend and I both chat about what’s new, speculate and make comparisons to Space Exploration. We actually still are doing that.

GF and I are about to go eat some sushi in a fancy restaurant and the only thing I can think about is blasting my cargo into space one more time. We already got the confirmation that Space Age won’t be as complex and challenging as Space Exploration, but I can’t wait to see what crazy stuff the modders will come up with!

Not if you made “being upset” your character trait. There are too many kids (and adults with the mental capability of kids) who fall for this crap over and over again. It wouldn’t be that frustrating when they got upset about stuff that’s actually real.

This is what happens when we do what CEOs want. We will make the world uninhabitable while getting murked by skynet.

We are officially in a prelude to a sci-fi story.

You can unlock the colour scheme of other chapters. From what I can tell it looks kinda grindy tho.

Ok. Interesting take. Let’s look at Alan Wake 2. High Budget and pretty good. One of the best games I played in recent years I would say.

And why did it sell poorly, I hear you ask? Well, maybe it had something to do with the fact that you published it on your Epic Store only, being fully aware that the overwhelming majority of PC players are on Steam (and very lazy when it comes to switching away from it). Also you didn’t produce physical copies for consoles. Download only for an environment known for being fiercely pro physical copy.

But we all know it’s not about these things. It’s about calming down investors. That’s why you use buzzwords like “metaverse” and shit. I am actually impressed you didn’t ramble about AI.

The publisher is also launching an internal review "in light of recent challenges" to identify ways the company can improve how it releases games, engages with its players, and benefits its stakeholders and shareholders.

We all know you will exclusively go for the last part and start shouting oh no what happun?!

I wonder what the next main enemy of the first half will be. We had the green skins and the ‘Nids. Maybe we will get chaos first. With Word Bearers leading hordes of crazed cultists into battle. Then the midgame switch happens and we fight the more elite Drukhari or some Necron dynasty.

As long as I can fire a bolt into Leandros‘ face I’m happy.

Commercial failure in this case translates to it didn’t make twice the money in the world. That’s why you never listen to investors as a consumer.

Didn’t play DAI tho. Loved the first one. Dreaded the second to the point I didn’t trust the franchise when DAI released.

I sat through this when it came out. And I never regretted a single second of doing so.
