December, as it stands, offers something of a reprieve for overwhelmed gamers, featuring a handful of notable new games, but nothing comparable to the barrage of last month’s impressive release schedule."

Wait. I don't get it. I reported on something that I recently noticed. I did mention in my article that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't gone to play The Division 2. That said, if this was nearly a week ago, I wouldn't know, as NO ONE REPORTED ON IT! Not IGN. Not Gamespot. Not Kotaku. No one.
You got people here complaining that there are any real gaming journalists and game journalism sucks, but when someone is acting, doing something to make something known to the public about what a company is doing. What do you do? You poke fun at it. What is it that people want? Do you want to complain for the sake of it? Or do you actually want people to do something to make those who aren't in the know aware of the shady stuff that's happening and to sound the alarm?
It's the "oh well" setting in on digital users. They don't care they don't own their stuff for some odd reason. 🤷🏽.
Good for you! People sometimes just feel the need to show how little they actually have to say. Very respectful dressing down, btw, which is another thing we need more of.
I appreciate your article,
- "If this isn’t considered both a “WTF” moment and setting a dangerous precedent, I don’t know what else it would be"
- "it could also signal other publishers that removing games from our accounts would be okay"
- "Maybe those firmly against this digital future have a point after all"
- "This. Is. Fucked. Up."
As someone against an only-digital/streaming future for entertainment content (movies/TV shows/games/books), it feels like talking into a void about the points above on this website, or on Twitter, or with my friends, etc. People don't get it. I'm strongly contemplating whether this will be my last generation of PlayStation & Xbox consoles (I'm confident enough that Nintendo's next system will still support physical media and that their 1st-party games won't have online-required installation or usage restrictions).
He is one of the long running trolls of this site, he never says anything positive. Every single one of his posts are either incorrect or flat out stupid. Pay him no mind.
I'm so done with Ubisoft, removing games one paid for is a new low...
Bye Ubisoft,
You've done f#c*ed it up !
This was me 9 years ago, when I realized all they wanted to make were filler boring games that are packed with micro-trash-actions.
Snooze! Moving on from Ubi-junk!
I see they're trying their best to surpass Activision Blizzard for being the most hated gaming company. Keep at it, Ubisoft, I believe!
The series' next iteration is coming this year.
Nintendo has kicked off a big Summer Game Sale on the North American eShop. Switch owners can save on a bunch of different tiles from both Nintendo and third-parties, including Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Dragon Quest XI S, and much more.
Took them forever to put it on sale on the US store! It was on sale for the EU store back on the New Years sale, and at least 1 other time. I had waited so long, I just knew the minute I dropped $60 on it, it would end up going on sale. Took longer than I thought though. I nabbed DQXI S and also DQ Builders 2 last night. Both great games!
I had 7 1/2 hours in the DQXI S demo, so I already knew I loved it. Glad my progress carried over.
Game of Thrones all the way, and I did enjoy Spartan Assault, so will check out Spartan Strike.
Guilty Gear, gonna check out Juju, the Crew, and Talos Principal, hope that can hold me until February.
This December sucks compared to most years. Only Elite Dangerous and GoT stood out. But I have a bad feeling about GoT, I don't think Tell Tale have the balls to do a proper story in that world considering kiddie zombie adventure storyline that they took Walking Dead down. Do not screw this one up.
All about Guilty Gear!
I didn't even think there were 10 games coming out this month.
