I can’t load the article on Voyager for some reason, and I’ve never even heard of this, but the clown turning into a cloud goes hard. For that alone I am interested.

This is also assuming that the 300+ million Americans have the same size carbon footprint, which is probably not true if you think about it for more than a second. I doubt the bottom 60% of earners in the country have the purchasing power to create that much waste through excess consumerism at this point.

Most of those “Shein/Temu/Aliexpress” hauls or 10x vacations across the world in a year you see on social media are not done by middle or lower income people/families.

This is very much a top heavy issue.

You get it. I agree with all of your complaints (but another unpopular opinion, I didn’t mind Sera we got lol)

Inquisition is actually my least favourite in the series, and I hate the pivot to hyperfocus on the “super special elves” and getting the most out of the story ONLY if you play a specific type of elf. I’m also not absolutely gaga for Varric (I like him, I just don’t think he should be everywhere). I felt really fatigued by the end of the game tbh.

I hope Dreadwolf gives you at least a little bit of what you crave, soldier 🫡

For what it’s worth, Dragon Age as a fandom has some of the nicest, least gatekeepy gamers I’ve ever interacted with. I feel really bad y’all are stuck under EA’s thumb.

I agree with you, same thing happened with Last of Us 2. Valid criticism was drowned out and to this day if you say you disliked any aspect of the game you have to give a disclaimer that it isn’t because there were gay/trans people in the game.

I think DA2 knew what it wanted to be, EA just decided to not let Bioware have the time or manpower to do it.

I personally think that it still has the best overarching story, environ and atmosphere in the series so far, and (controversial opinion) I LIKED that I played as Hawke. The Warden and the Inquisitor are the typical “thrown into a world changing even they have tenuous connections to”, and feel a degree removed from anything but the main event sometimes.

But Hawke? They are in the thick of it. Does not matter what class Hawke is, my guy/girl is going through it at every (repeated dungeon) stage of the game. I honestly felt more for Hawke in my playthrough of DA2 than my personal avatars in Origin and Inquisition. Kirkwall sucks soooo bad, man.

By then, real reviews will make themselves known.

This is the way. There are corpo/early access reviewers who are giving it 10/10s, and I’m also seeing morons screeching about review-boming it because of the DEI/Woke Agenda™️ and that you can make a non-binary player character. It’s gonna be a shitshow on release.

Feel bad for the Dragon Age fans, they’ve been waiting for this for ages.

Thank you for this, I had to scroll down so far to find a subscription-wall free link. Makes me wonder if anyone actually checked the article…

Just a correction: it’s an actual remake like Resident Evil 4, not a remaster. Entirely new engine (Unreal 5), character models, environments, music/sound, and new content around the plot. Considering the original came out in 2001, the updates were sorely needed imo.

Konami needs to get the Dead Cells team (Evil Empire, not Motion Twin) to do a Castlevania game, that DLC (especially the remixed music) was so gas

I’m also sick of Konami just porting the games over and over again. I love Castlevania, but I have bought the games so many times in so many different collections that it feels like it’s own pachinko hell. And we all know how Konami feels about pachinko.

I counted the announcement for Prime 4 slated for release next year as part of “recently”. I haven’t eaten this good as a Metroid fan in years, let me live 😭

The “Metroid” part of the metroidvania genre got two new releases recently, I have hope that the “vania” part will too. -huffs copium-

Love Keepass. Love that I can sync it however I want. Love that there are multiple open source client options across several operating systems.

I’m so confused, this game has 94% on metacritic and a “very positive” reception on Steam (91% with 4 000+ reviews). This headline is clickbait as hell, and the comments here are assuming Metaphor: Refantazio got mixed reviews/flamed on socials when it didn’t.

The article is just reporting a discussion Katsura Hashino had with Toyama (the creator of Silent Hill) on their views on fan feedback.

This is why I don’t care to read Eurogamer articles (and also their cookie preferences with 600+ partners, wtf).

(Also, both Refantazio and the Silent Hill 2 remake are pretty good. Can’t believe I have to praise Konami in 2024 🤮)

Meanwhile I’ve been getting assblasted with ads for it on every whitelisted app/site. I knew this game existed since it was announced in 2016, I am an avid SMT/Persona player. Why tf am I getting the ads?

Marketing team fucked something up in the targeting.

Most Outspoken Gamers^tm nowadays don’t even play the games they’re being outspoken about. Look at all the clowns calling Ghost of Yotei “woke” for having a female protagonist when Tsushima already had multiple female warriors.

Fuck TMZ for posting his dead body yesterday just to prove they were the ones “breaking the news”. That shit was cached my news reader even after they removed it.

Same account options as yours here on mobile, marketing is also off for me.

Thanks for comparing notes!

2nd panel made me realize that I would LOVE a Buffy the Vampire-like show with the DS9 cast.

…anyways completely unrelated question: do Star Trek fanfiction circles still exist or…?

I have no doubt there is at least one small, enthusiastic group in Tokyo dedicated to building/promoting miniPCs lol. That city has a niche for EVERYTHING that has penetrated Japanese social consciousness.
