are they finally getting absorbed by gamespot
RIP Bomby the bomb.
I bet they're killing all references to Luchadeer and the embiggen man.
Next thing you know giantbomb.com/chat won't show a link to Swedish Chef when there's no show.

Y'know, I both extremely agree and extremely disagree with this.
The best aspects of immersive sims is just living in and breathing in their worlds, and taking time to work through those spaces that build said lived-in feeling.
At the same time, those games often present you with just enough options that no matter your build, there's a clear path of least resistance for you.
Mooncrash sort of breaks that. No matter what you do, you're sort of in the same space for 12 hours and you get to learn it the same way, but it also hamstrings you and forces you to adapt to the world based on the build of the character you're inhabiting. It's turning an immsim into a run-based game and that's way more interesting that I at first thought it would be.

This is also completely fair. Immediately after it was revealed I was with you.
Having now played a few hours, I kinda really dig it.
Fuck not getting Benedict Wong back, though. That's a goddamn bummer.

You know what's the real bummer? The amount of people who never gave Prey a chance. It's such a wonderful game. I love it when a game has a well realized world/environment that even when I revisit the game years from now it'll feel like returning to an old home.
There's a reason immersive sims tend to come in waves. They wax and wane with people being interested in depth in their AAA games. Currently they're waning.
I guess we'll talk about them again in 6-7 years.
Edit: To be clear I feel exactly the same. They always feel familiar even when you're doing a playthrough in an entirely different style. That's the benefit of the "broadly narrow" design of these things and why I love them. They're dense.
I asked this before but dont think i ever really got an answer. Didn't Rorie mention an early upgrade in Prey that made it easy to craft a bunch of shit or do something that sort of broke the game? Or maybe not broke it, but eased some headaches that the game gave you?
Thete's a formula to effectively build stat/ability upgrades, but the game doesn't let you use it willy-nilly. They kinda make a cute joke out of it. And it's expensive anyway.

I'm so sad to see this series end.

It was a duplication glitch that if I remember correctly got patched by now. What you could essentially do is craft an infinite number of any material you wanted.
and you could do that like within the first 15-20 minutes of the game which is when you find your first Recycler.
I'm glad he's true to her by only judging the Street Fighter female fuckfest from the sidelines, TBH. It's respectable.
Maybe it's a power thing. You don't fuck with Garfield's people.

my favorite garfield story is the one where Bill Murray decided to voice garfield only because he thought it was a coen brothers film.
the best part is that he decided to voice garfield in the sequel as well later on which doesn't make any sense but I guess money
I was reading about Dragon Ball (as one does), and apparently there's a manga about a kid reincarnating as Yamcha. I didn't know they did horror stories in Dragon Ball.
Also based on that story Yamcha is just a lazy-ass dude, this kid can push his body into Saiyan territory.

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
I'm glad Giant Bomb is finally dead and we have been released from its dark hold over our psyches.
May we reign free as gods

Where am I supposed to spend all of my time now not playing video games? The anime thread? I hate myself but not nearly that much.
Garfield is actually an allegory for how the US government treated returning Vietnam vets
they just wanted to harass dogs and eat lasagna and the government wouldn't help them

Are they finally ready to roll out the site redesign with how they serve up videos?
