I always heard that it was an infinite number of monkeys, not just one. So one of them might get the job done in time.

Isn’t this a fairly standard sci-fi plot?

AI: Kill humans off, problem solved.

You’d be surprised how many people don’t have the motivation/understanding to do even that.

The engine really isn’t suited for the kind of game Starfield wants to be, so it really works against it. But you’re right, even if it were a new shiny engine with the same writing and characters, it would still suck. Likewise, if it had the same creaky engine but actual good stories and characters the constant loading would be easier to overlook. It just has the worst of both worlds.

I feel like most of the kind of people who go out of their way to pirate also go out of their way to avoid ads.

All of Microsoft’s games are also on PC and even Sony has been putting many of their games there a year later. Nintendo’s the only one left that locks all of them to their console forever.

Your storage drive will thank you.

Thankfully, they’re not the ones who develop Doom. They can publish it all they want as long as they stay the hell away from the actual games.

Shattered Space is one of the Bethesda DLCs of all time.

Honestly, if anyone actually has high expectations for ES6 at this point, it’s totally on them.

So Tears of the Kingdom was AAAA?

Nintendo’s games are still usually very good, even though their business practices suck ass.

You’re not. I pirated it on release and was very glad I didn’t buy it.

Judging by how Starfield turned out, will missing either of those games (which are almost certainly going to be using the same incredibly outdated engine) be much of a loss?

Which was exclusive to…Microsoft! Full circle.

I don’t even use emulators for Switch because mine is hacked, but I felt the need to get the last Yuzu and Ryujinx on principle.

No, because if they wanted a Switch, they would have bought one.
