Davel23,

Yes, they also made the most recent Battletech game.

Davel23,

If I recall correctly they were offering refunds for a time on Steam, regardless of date purchased/hours played when the buyout was first announced. I'm not sure if it's still available, but couldn't hurt to ask.

John Riccitiello is stepping down as CEO and president of Unity (investors.unity.com)

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Unity (NYSE: U) (the “Company”), the world’s leading platform for creating and growing real-time 3D (RT3D) content, today announced that John Riccitiello will retire as President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately....

Davel23,

No one's saying he needed it. But knowing how corporations work it's quite likely he got a nice payout.

Davel23,

They want people to buy the console release now, then buy it again when they announce the PC version in a year.

Davel23,

They did it with GTA 4 and 5 as well.

Davel23,

Probably true, but who's going to tell Disney's legal department?

Davel23,

Best of luck to you.

Davel23,

EGS? Wow, they might sell five copies there!

Davel23,

This kind of thing has been going on for at least 30 years. One of the earliest examples is Night Trap starring Dana Plato. You may not know who that is, but anyone who grew up watching Diff'rent Strokes certainly does. If you want a more mainstream example, look at Ripper from 1996 which features Christopher Walken, Paul Giamatti, Karen Allen, Burgess Meredith, David Patrick Kelly, Ossie Davis, and John Rhys-Davies.

It most likely uses Epic Online Services, so... yeah.

Davel23,

Conker was the first “parody” type game

Parodius was released in 1988, and I wouldn't even definitively say it was the first.

Davel23,

Parodius is a parody of Gradius (hence the name).

Davel23,

It's a "silly" version of Gradius. Wikipedia can explain it better than I can: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parodius:_The_Octopus_Saves_the_Earth

Davel23,

I'd recommend Sam and Max Hit the Road. It's older, and its sense of humor is a bit out there, but if you "get it" it's great.

Davel23,

Cool dudes had fastload cartridges.

Davel23,

I mean, I knew it from the moment the EA acquisition was announced.

Davel23,

Judgement came out on PC in September '22.

Davel23,

Nah, that's the 61 face.

Twitter/X anonymous login and no Government censorship

Today I realized that is possible login on twitter with a temp mail through VPN in a complete anonymous way. I think it’s a very good thing. I don’t understand why here a lot of people criticize Elon Musk. I think that now it’s a platform more open to debates, it’s almost free speech. No other popular big tech platform...

Davel23,

The thing I fucking hate is when the game doesn't make it obvious when a checkpoint is activated. Then you go to quit the game: "Everything since the last checkpoint will be lost". Well WHEN WAS THE LAST MOTHERFUCKING CHECKPOINT, ASSHOLE?

Davel23,

The Persona games, while all existing in the same universe and sharing many play mechanics are largely standalone. You can pick up and play any of them and not miss anything storywise by not playing the others. That said each subsequent game adds certain QoL features which, once gotten used to you'd be hard-pressed to play without. I've played 3, 4, and 5, in that order and I would recommend the same to anyone looking to get into the series.

The Yakuza series on the other hand all follow a set timeline, and though each game has its own plot they all exist in an evolving overall world. They should be played in order, at least 1-6. Zero is a prequel though it was made around the same time as 5. As such it has several references to future events which are not really spoilery, but without playing the other games you won't necessarily get them. But they are not vital to the plot and the game can be enjoyed first. That's what I did and never felt like I was missing out on anything. 7 is a new start for the series and while taking place in the same world and featuring guest stars from other games it is not closely tied to the other games in the series. Personally, 7 is my favorite of the bunch with Zero a close second.
