I've played enough Crusader Kings to know that sometimes your aunt is your sister.

It is really funny, when you dig into it, the average game budget is probably rising but the Known Huge Budget value has been about 200m USD since 2004. Only one franchise has consistently broke that total.

It's COD. This is the most expensive one yet. MS wants to claim AI will drive costs down?

I was gearing up to go through Plutonia 2 and a few of the TNT follow ups...

I might not know if it happened and ultimately don't care either way, but I do think it would be funny if the pee tape is real but it was Bill pissing

Clippers having age catch up to them so brutally the year their 1st round pick is owned by the defending champion OKC during a near 20 year streak of draft mastery is sick

COD is the only franchise that has gone fully over the semi-barrier of 200m USD cost for game development too. Really makes you wonder what the fuck all that money is going toward.

half of these assholes don't even live in NYC

I remember thinking it was from the 90s. Then a friend who was there when the deep magic was written told me no, 80s, because it's contrasting TTRPG and not what console RPGs were usually doing

lol even the ref looks confused by how short it was

even if you take 76 off the table, I promise that Fallout 3 is worse than 4 too

I had not heard of this game and trying to explain why the first bundle here sends up red flag for me but not for the other 3 games is difficult, but I sure feel something is off

This really begs the question of what you are even making something for, like the whole point of RPG Maker is writing the game (now)

the Spurs have ascended way faster than I expected, 3 years of top draft lottery picks flip immediately into a team that looks like they could make the conference finals at least

I always imagine Ubisoft as having the Publisher side and the various Developer sides and each Developer fragment hopes that Ubisoft The Publisher never has reason to look at their project

One of my favorite things is how Skyrim's second expansion unpatches the Axe perks to no longer work with all types of Axes, and they never re-implemented their proper tables. They were never good at this, but they got worse over time

the headline gets what really struck me, like how did the game last through its support lifecycle without patching VATS to actually work on all platforms?
I will not mourn Bethesda's upcoming death when MS closes half their corporation over their dumbfuck AI investments
