A golden parachute so big he could trivially buy into the next company. If he wanted to retire, he would have long done it.

Worse, what if he ends up as the boss fo GamePass or Xbox?

Why? As in, why are they “the last hope”? What can they do that ActiBlizzKing cannot?

They would just contract Blizzard to make that, so if they were able to do it they would have done so already.

I’ll be holding of for 6-12 months though. CP2077 was in such a terrible state at launch, it’s not worth going into another bugfest. Give them a few months to fix the bugs, then take a look.

It’s such a shame - and such a bizarre decision - that this is based on the vanilla Persona 3, not the Portable edition with the optional female MC and all the extras.

Really not my kind of game, but wow it looks spiff. I might be tempted to get it on a steep sale on the future just for looks.

MS wanted to buy Nintendo. The company that has so much money on hand that they are a noticable thing to the japanese banking sector?

Of all possible companies they were looking at buying? Heck, Sony might be more realistic by comparison, at least their gaming/console parts!

Interesting, and we also finally see the completely disc-less version we’ve been expecting for over a generation now.

Should localize them by using the Japanese title translation so it sound equally “foreign awesome” in English? ユニコーンオーバーロード is what Google Translate outputs and hey I will say, it immediately looks less silly to me, despite actually saying the exact same words. 😑 (I hate that this actually works)

Yeah there’s always a lot of divided audience feedback. SR2 was too serious for me still, it felt like a low-budget GTA clone and I wasn’t even a GTA fan in the first place.

But SR3 and 4? They were so ridiculously over the top, they parodied the whole genre. A genre I love to see made fun of, so they were perfect for me.

Since you can apply that logic to everything, how can you ever build anything? Because all consequences are dire on a myopic scale, that is, if your partner dies because a single electrician cheaped out with the wiring in your building and got someone to sign off, “It’s not as bad as a nuclear disaster” isn’t exactly going to console them much.

At some point, you need to accept that making something illegal and trying to prosecute people has to be enough. For most situations. It’s not perfect. Sure. But nothing ever is. And no solution to energy is ever going to be perfect, either.

Yeah as much as I’d like to take credit, donate a few bucks to Open Critic if you enjoy this. They offer a readymade format for this, and they’re a fantastic service in comparison to Metacritic anyways.
