External Organs: Mar 3, 2006; One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

Wow, Quantum Break Guy in smash.

exquisite tea: Apr 21, 2007; Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

Miyamoto will allow Phil to finally port BOTW to X-Box, then immediately indenture all Microsoft employees for emulation.

Less exclusives are good actually. The console wars is a dumb loving idea in general, and the weird brand loyalty to Sony/MS/Nintendo is pretty embarrassing honestly.

Just make games, that's like it. I don't get how nerds overcomplicate this poo poo. It's like when they get into arguments about goddamn brands of video cards. Just play the games.

Also timegated exclusives have been a thing forever, and I doubt anyone is gonna be like "poo poo, I was gonna buy an Xbox for Starfield 2, but then I took a year and now it's on the Sonys and I guess I can't buy an Xbox any more." Everything that was gonna buy it would have by that point. Hell the fact people paid to play it a couple days early tells you they're in the right direction.

Some people are susceptible to marketing strategies that instil a fanatical zeal on behalf of the brand. It's the same way sports work, but for stupid nerds.

I put it on as background noise and it's not too bad if you want to hear people talk about new stuff on the platform in under an hour.

It only gets 10k views except when Phils on it's more like 200k views.

Pretty sure everyone who can will buy GTA VI on console and then again a year later when it comes out for pc

Oh yeah, that too. The amount of people who repurchase games just to play them elsewhere seems really goddamn high. But point is they are gonna be missing sales because they essentially re-release a game a year later lol

Yep, i'm expecting GTA VI will be a 30fps cap on console, so will double dip on PC version. I wont like it, but im not waiting a year.

A good chunk of my playtime with this game has been messing around with the lighting, it feels like a full generation ahead. I don�t know how they pulled off ray traced GI at 60fps on this generation while nobody else can seemingly even sniff it

Pumped as hell for GTA VI at 60fps on the next console gen. Or maybe the Xbox/PS Pro mid-gen consoles this year will somehow pull it off idk but either ways the game's gonna get rereleased at least twice.
