Thinking about Horizon and how good it was, hearing how good the new God of War is and knowing how good Bloodbourne is made me wonder how much it cost to make those three games.

It looks like HZD is roughly $45million, Bloodbourne is around $20 million and God of war I am going to average about $55 million. $120 million for three really good games that are all exclusive to the PS4.

This generation could have been so different if instead of spending $2 billion to buy Minecraft, microsoft had used just a quarter of that on 6 attempts at finding a new game for themselves.

Heck, even going all out and making as many Triple A exclusives in that $2 billion as possible, some are bound to have stuck. It would make more sense than buying Minecraft.

The Minecraft deal has actually probably been profitable for them? All the licensed stuff that comes out for it means that Microsoft rakes in money from licensees without doing much.

And specifically the Minecraft deal was because Microsoft had a bunch of offshore money that they could not repatriate without paying taxes on. Since the worst tax law in history was passed and includes provisions that basically say the US Government has given up on taxing that...

Once again, Happy May Day people

With fighting games because you have so many characters you can have a few "ugmos" but they aren't going to be front-cover characters

Here is how you manage those games. You zone out during the plot and then go back to creating stories you care about with all your orc friends.

It was a podcast game for me.

Especially with the postgame grind that I knew was optional and especially doing it for that dumb-as-poo poo cutscene that I could have watched on YouTube was foolish in hindsight

My favorite one of those was the one about getting the worst ending in Witcher 3 because he was a bad dad.

It was actually a good article because it revealed the subtleties of the game's storytelling.
