I got the point of the musical scenes – I just didn’t think they added much of anything to the film. I felt like they were extremely distracting given the tone, as well. I may have felt differently without Lady Gaga. I don’t think she pulled off the kind of freneticism that would have made the music work better.

My thoughts exactly. Tbh, I think a fanedit could do well by cutting a bunch of the straight musical scenes. It’s probably decent as a 90 minute film (theatrical runtime is 2+ hours).

Maybe ironically, neither one would be appropriate as a linguistic definition.

Played on PS4 Pro. I really loved the theme and the visuals. The combat was quite nice too. But, I also remember it got very grindy to me.

This is the only corporate game left. Convince clueless investors that they’ll make more money if they give you money. No real innovation or even a real goal. Just buzzword after buzzword to get those investors on board.

Capitalism doesn’t breed innovation. It eventually eats it.

I’d like to think some things will change once not every major investor is clueless after just being rich their whole lives, but given how generational wealth works, I’m not holding my breath.

Thank you thank you thank you. This is exactly what I want on Lemmy.

We’ve gone from alternative facts to alternative reality.

It is biased towards the rich. Much of American society and laws are biased towards the rich or biased towards large corporations.

So it is insane, but since it’s just as insane as the rest of the system, you aren’t supposed to notice.

Tons of people still play Skyrim.

Something tells me that, in 10 years, few if any will still be playing Starfield.

Boomers should have thought of the shareholders.

That is, the kids they fucked over with their bullshit ideas and absolute misunderstanding of the world they created.

I’d love to be able to speak with my parents again, but (and I never thought I would ever say this, if you had asked me 10 years ago) I need to see some heads popping out of asses.

Did they ever ramp down?

Especially when creators find interesting ways to work them in, which is pretty often, in my experience. They’re the one type of ad that doesn’t annoy me.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that change as well. It was fun while it lasted.

Actually I just need to stop buying garbage (which I have done). The power sits with the purchasers in this case.

They could make so many moderate games that would sell amazingly if they just tried to…

100%. That’s the kind of nuanced thinking you won’t get from corporate America at this point.

They aren’t selling because they are designed as money machines first and games second.

Do I get to be the next Tim Sweeney now? As far as I can tell the bar is pretty low.

Epic Games

…it rings a bell, but I’m too busy worrying about people who aren’t corpo shitheads trying to convince the market they can offer something different

I love this, buy fuck off with that anti-Linux content on Lemmy.

We only have few places. :)

Edit: unless we’re talking about servers and phones, in which case we have most of them

“Win this guitar signed by Barack Obama!” Raffle it in Texas.

In tiny print at the bottom of the ad: “all proceeds go to Planned Parenthood”.

It is absolutely shocking to me how long it is taking for fans to turn on Nintendo. They’ve done this hardcore corpo shit for years. They should have a public image far worse than EA by now.

The nostalgic love runs deep, I guess.
