  • Not gonna lie, really couldn’t get through 2 minutes of the video.

    Just so much snobbery in the video, sounds like a TotalBiscuit wannabe but with shit takes and trying to cram fancy words in.

    I’m not a fan of this remaster/remake phase in media, but remaking a 23 year old game like this is valid imo.

    I’ve also heard great things about this remake and have played some great remakes as well, so this is just hating for the sake of it imo.


  • Reducing it to one year made sense, one year down to 10 days is actually a fucking massive difference. Practically speaking, it’s a far, far bigger change than 8 years down to 1.

    This isn’t just an “ongoing trend” at this point, it would be a fundamental change to the way that certificates are managed i.e. making it impossible to handle renewals manually for any decently sized business.








  • Seems like Bethesda and Ubisoft have kinda the same problem.

    Once upon a time they innovated and released games that set a new level for the industry. Then they kinda boiled that down to a formula and just focused on making it bigger, missing the point of what made the games popular and what people liked them for.

    They also managed to lose the fine details and parts that people liked in their quest to just make the games as big as possible.

    People didn’t like Skyrim and the early AC games because they were perfect, they liked them because they were the best we had at the time and there was also a lot of care put into them.

    FromSoft could’ve fallen down that rabbit hole as well, but they keep changing things up in their soulslike games.

    Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, Elden Ring, each of those games are “soulslike” but also have fundamental changes that make them a unique experience.
