My headers will be as beautiful as can be, though I usually aim for my OTs to be mostly text so that it is easier for both mobile and desktop users to read. I'll do my best...

I can help with the graphics and formatting if you need any help at all! Please check out my NieR Automata and Persona 5 OTs here on Resetera/The Old Place, and let me know in a PM.

(Was hoping I could still grab the spot first but in all the excitement of the announcement itself, I seem to have missed my chance...)

->>>>>>

SOME BRIEF GUIDELINES ABOUT WHAT IT MEANS TO CLAIM HERE:
  • If somebody has already claimed an OT that you want to assist with, offer your services to them if you have something to offer. Your best contribution will be in keeping the OT alive when it is posted.
  • Claiming is about preventing two people wasting their time making dueling threads, it's not about excluding others.

Collaborate. There's no first-come-first-serve.

Most certainly, closer to release (maybe a few weeks out) we can coordinate on PMs or Discord.
I aim to keep the OT skeleton consistent and not image heavy and to keep the overall size to a reasonable level. I find that the larger the opening post, the more people decide not to read it.

Sounds good.

Do you have any examples so that I could get an understanding of how this would work?

Personally, I tend to compartmentalize each section and split them with a header image so they're easy to find and read, which usually balances out the "TL;DR" effect. Worked well for the NieR Automata and Persona 5 OTs.

I took a look and I definitely prefer your Nier Automata work the most. I like the idea of compartmentalizing image galleries at the end of the post.
I think the only presentation stuff I would change is not including the boxart images, reducing the size of the hype-catching gifs and reducing the size of the headers by half to help mobile users with data and readability. I also would make the character intro section only show portraits instead of full-body to once again be helpful to mobile users.
Once again, we can work this out once it's closer to release.

Sounds good - these are all changes I can work with. We'll talk closer to release.

I'd like to help any way I can. I did the VC2 OT. I'm a fan of not embedding all the information into images because when people do that it's not searchable.

Agreed - embedding all information into images - while it looks nice - doesn't help people find things.

A mix of headers/images/text is best, because people can still search through the text while appreciating the headers/images.

For how, I've gone ahead and created a simple discord server for us to use to communicate for the purposes of the VC4 OT. Find the link in your PMs.

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask: But is there any Official console OT's? I would like to ask a question about external storage for the PS4 and I am kinda lost on where to post as it doesn't really need it's own thread.

There was a thread like that before hmm...

I'll throw 1 global thread together and see how it goes.

I don't know how many people are playing here, but TLJ hype got me to play the Old Republic and I haven't seen an OT yet... I can throw a quick one together if there isn't any existing one.

EA's Star Wars BF 2 at risk of turning in a loss by mutantmagnet (NOV 24)


The company's financial projections for Star Wars Battlefront 2 were based on the assumption of a premium currency and loot box system that worked in a certain way and attracted a certain amount of revenue. It set its development budget based on those projections, spent money on marketing based on those projections; Disney has now unceremoniously dumped those projections in the bin.

Entirely independent of the conversation over whether EA's monetisation model was ill-conceived or not, there can be little doubt that the company's bottom line for this project will be hit by the removal of premium currency, even temporarily. Without seeing the company's internal figures it's hard to say, but it's not beyond the realms of possibility that, given high enough costs for licensing, development and marketing, this change could even leave EA struggling to stay in the black on what should have been one of its most profitable titles of the quarter.

For Disney, these decisions no doubt make absolute sense. To a large extent, Disney's choices about games are based on the same rationale as Nintendo's have been; an understanding that preservation of the value of the IP needs to come ahead of short-term profitability of any one product based on that IP.

EA's burning won't end here.

I'm interested in making an OT for ArcheAge, but I want to include information about the recently opened private server that removes the more gamebreaking Pay-to-Win aspects of the official release. Is that allowed or not?

Is anyone creating OT's for a monthly amalgamation of interesting indie games? I'd be interested to read/contribute to that.

Hey, I wanted to create my first OT, I searched the thread and didn't find anything.

I'd like to claim "Dark", which will be released on December 1st on Netflix.
