That concept immediately makes me think of the card game Fluxx.

Because in an industry dominated by yearly rehashed minimum viable products like CoD or AC or Battlefield or the plethora of lootbox infested live services meant to fuck your wallet for easy quick RoI for shareholders, Kojima spends time and resources creating new, novel ideas and taking the artistic medium (yes, games are art despite what capital G Gamers want to say) to new and exciting and interesting places.

This is why Hideo Kojima, Yoko Taro, Fumito Ueda, Hideaki Itsuno, Keiichiro Toyama, Eric Barone, Terry Cavanagh, David Szymanski (etc etc etc, I could go on) all get name recognition.

People always SAY they want games to expand and try new things/don't want the same game every year, but then when someone actually tries, the games get panned as "gimmicky" or "niche" or "pretentious" "pixel graphics indie garbage" or some other flavor of the month phrase gamers use to instantly discredit something that doesn't immediately and specifically cater to every single one of their preconceived demands on what a "game" is and/or should be.

Good riddance. E3 offered nothing over just watching trailers on YT except for the multiple hours of advertisements and marketing pushed throughout the convention.

$25 for a ~4 hour or so experience might not be most people's cup of tea if they solely base things off of "dollar per hour" ratios (which I think is an insane way to judge a game's worthiness)

However, Jusant was a great game. The varied locations, the music, the little twists on the climbing gameplay, spelunking into little hidden caverns to find shrines and story tidbits of the people's lives before. It was absolutely worth my time. If people stopped worrying about dollar per hour ratiols or graphics or other random arbitrary things that don't really mean anything in terms of a game's quality, games like this would probably score a lot more recognition in the industry

No thanks, I'd rather just buy it for $6 on Steam and actually have the product in a good platform with all my other games.

The best Disney games have all been licensed games by Square Enix, BioWare, Capcom, etc.

That's why they're going to want to buy those studios.

This just in: guy whose job it is to sell you a product really wants you to know the product will be good so you'll pre order it

Giant websites like Reddit don’t die overnight, death by a thousand cuts is how it happens.

No one expects Reddit to shutter in the span of a month or two, but as more and more people get fed up and move, the rest will follow.

Everyone who acts like Reddit can’t crumble when social media changes all the time are silly. Reddit won’t be around forever

The fact that consoles still deal with 'console war' bullcrap is exactly why console gamers continue to lose out.

He has been. Did you already forget about the marriage law he passed not that long ago?

Yeah how dare consumers expect their products to be good

Pirating from any billion dollar company is morally correct, (don't) change my mind.
