The chocobo race is absolutely brutal, best of luck

I'm not saying I disagree but you are aware this is a season pass for post release dlc, NOT a battlepass like in live service games right?

Bombas judging by the hexagons

It's not required to play the previous games, there is some reference to them and the emotional impact of one scene may be diminished but that's about it. I'm sure there are video recaps you can watch if you decide to skip the previous titles

Cool preview by Shillup, I can't say I'm the audience for this type of game but will keep an eye out for reviews when they drop

If EA is willing to cut me a check for telling you that games are getting more expensive and take longer to make then tell me where to sign

It's mind boggling when the costs of games get leaked (or revealed during court cases). It makes me sad that so many studios have pivoted to the strategy you've described because it means we'll have less games of a franchise I enjoy since the development takes so long or the developement is never even started because people have decided the profit won't be as high as making a blockbuster game. Hell, look at Rockstar milking whales with GTA V, that's a slightly different conversation, but it's crazy how long the gap between GTA V and GTA VI are

One of the funniest ones that happened to me was when I ran my cyclops aground in the shallows and I tried to deploy out of my prawn to push it but the hatch was right next to the seafloor so I immediately clipped through the ground while in my prawn and fell through the entire game world. Good times

As someone who played and enjoyed most of the PS exclusives, +1 for the take. What games do you think are "the best ones"?

That's not the conversation you initially raised but sure we can talk about that too. What they did was despicable and yet kotick is still there, and I want him and the others responsible brought to justice. He stands to be paid out millions when the merger is completed and that is rewarding him rather than punishing. The pessimist in me says that he will find another company somewhere willing to hire him because look at the disgusting things he's gotten away with and subsequently rewarded for by being paid out. So yes I want them to be out of ABK but not with him getting another 0 in his bank account.

Not sure if that's sarcasm but Bungie is working on Marathon

Not hardened yet
