There is nothing I have ever seen or played in VR that could justify this price for me. I understand the tech is expensive, but I really am not willing to pay more than like $200 for something that feels like such a gimmick. If this is your thing though, have at it.

Right, but it’s not just a spreadsheet descision. Kojima’s name carries immense weight and is one of the biggest in the industry. Just having him attached to your brand sells systems. The last time a company backstabbed him like this, they spent a decade making nothing but Pachinko and sports games.

Sony cutting him out is gonna be a lot more damaging to them than breaking even on a niche project. And let’s not forget that Physint won’t be nearly as niche as Death Stranding. It’s his return to the genre that made him famous.

That might have contributed, but from what I have seen it basically broke even from it’s sales. If they haven’t lost money, this descision makes no sense. Kojima is basically Playstation royalty and his name carries so much weight in the industry. Especially since they were championing Physint as his triumphant return to the action espionage genre. I’ve never played one of his games and even I knew immediately this was a collosal fuck up on their part.

Maybe the Galactic Federation should hire a bounty hunter to deal with this growing Metroid threat.

I actually like the little details on Link. It looks like the Kokiri made their clothes out of leaves from the forest. That’s why there are veins in Link’s hat. I think it makes more sense than a community of children in a forest being able to grow and weave cloth.

As far as day/night changes go, at least we will still have the Sun’s Song to change it whenever we want. But you make a good point about being able to relax in towns at sunset. I never liked how it would cut the music though.

I really appreciate that they are doing a Special Edition physical release for this. And the Chozo statue Amiibo looks cool as fuck.

There’s a reason everyone says they’re going to purchase a copy of a game. No one ever thinks they are buying the master and suddenly owns the IP. Everyone at Sony has rocks for brains.

I’ve been playing through Panzer Dragoon Saga for the first time. My god what an incredible game.

I’m not buying it because Rockstar and Take Two are shitty greedy assholes.

Same here. This is probably the first Xbox product that has appealed to me in several years. But at $900 for a system I already purchased at $500, it’s a joke. It’s actually cheaper to buy the original limited edition Xbox that this is based on.

I miss old Rooster Teeth. I rarely go back to it, but I go on a little watch spree every few years.

I’d also include Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games. Incredible channel that was run by the man himself. I’ve learned so much about the developer side of things from his channel. Sadly he ended it a few years ago because he felt like he was able to talk about pretty much everything he wanted to touch on. And he had to get working on Kirby Air Riders.

A couple other small ones would be:

Scykoh- Made a series called Glitchfest where he would break down and show off significant bugs/glitches in games. Similar to A+Start.

Jasper- A guy who broke down how Nintendo created certain elements of their games. Very informative as well, but he only made a handful of videos and then just randomly stopped a few years ago.

Sp0ntanius- Musician who made creatively edited Zelda music covers. He actually still uploads the occasional video. But he often doesn’t upload for several years at a time.

To be completely fair, I wouldn’t want to work on a project for like 5+ years and have no one see it either. But regardless of how many people join in on this boycott, the game is already a success. Plenty of people will see their work. So I say, boycott away. I guess we can’t exactly say the same about Marathon though.

I hope they win their lawsuit. But I am certainly boycotting this game and I encourage everyone else to do so as well. Rockstar has become the thing they used to satirize. Of course this game is going to be massively successful. But the more we can cut out of their sales, the better the whole industry will be. I mean shit, these assholes are actually trying to have you pay for a Netflix subscription just to watch their advertising of this trash. And that’s on top of a $100 price tag for the full game.

$100 for a revokable license is straight filth. Digital ownership is important, but as a physical collector, not even having the option to buy physical is the easiest pass I will ever take. Especially for a series that has not had any significant innovation in two decades.

I live and die by Cobalt Slinky. Nothing like a fresh set of Cobalts.

No, I think I’m definitely going to boycott this incredibly scummy game. I wish them luck in their legal battle though.
