I wish there was an option to buy a console with a Design Lab controller instead of the stock one.

It’s true, though. They channel TLOU’s misery-energy to an astonishing degree.

And just like TLOU2, the sequel goes even farther.

Also one of the few games where the final boss is a pope. Not enough games do that, IMO.

Really excited for Silksong. Its release is whatever, it comes when it comes. Like not a single game promised from xbox to release within 12 months, last year, has actually released in that window lol. The game industry is a mess and game development is massively complicated.

Ghostwire is a neat game cause I can tool around places I walk around in real life and check out what wacky alternate universe businesses they've plopped there.

Called it, there's too much money to be made for everyone involved in this acquisition (including governments), and at the end of the day that is what makes the world move. Although the hangup is still going to be the U.K. right?

Sony influenced Brexit in 2016 knowing that the UK would independently block an Activision merger but the rest of the EU wouldn't.

There's only one example of a merger being approved everywhere except the UK and this was in 2017 after Brexit so they decided to go ahead with the merger anyways and said "gently caress it" to the UK market. Since then the UK market has continued to shrink so if the EU approves and if the FTC approves then Microsoft will have to weigh-up if the merger is more desirable than access to the UK market.

After the CMA initially blocked the acquisition there was only a short period before Microsoft pulled the "You need us more than we need you" card which was bold but also really funny. If the acquisition gets approved everywhere else I imagine the UK government will lean on the CMA to give it the go-ahead.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Everyone says "put call of duty on gamepass with the Microsoft buyout" but why do that when you can prop up the most sickly of all Activision's games: put WoW on gamepass.

Launch wow pre expansions was my last gasp of exposure to the genre, so I definitely would, out of curiosity if nothing else.
