This isn't news.

well, I was all set to agree with them about decarbonizing and deindustrializing, but then they had PUNK in the name, and I prefer my revolutionary movements to be more POLITE THANK YOU

It's weird how some people claim to be sex positive but are just as prudish as the religious conservatives they rail against.

Would it help if she was 400 pounds? Then it's body positivity, and we're allowed to like that!

So, apparently you can make as shitty a game as you like, as long as there's a streaming tie in people will eat that shit up. - the lesson publishers will get from this whole thing

I guess it worked for Cyberpunk.

Please don't continue to beat this dead horse. What made Mass Effect great was Drew Karpyshyn's ideas and world building, a solid cast of characters, along with a lot of superb visual design. Mass Effect had such an interesting, detailed, lived-in universe. The quality of writing in the games after the first is perfectly proportional to the amount of Drew Karpyshyn's involvement, and it sharply declines after the first. A fifth game made purely out of a corporate desire for profit and not to tell a story is unlikely to yield better results, in my mind - see Mass Effect: Andromeda for evidence on that.

It's probably the fact that the writing was god awful. The gameplay was OK if repetitive, but Mass Effect with bad writing is just Binary Domain.

Cmon, he put lots of belts and zippers on things and gave us the not at all convoluted plot of Kingdom Hearts, that's gotta count for something

Just kidding, Nomura and his enablers are the worst thing to happen to JRPGs

Ironic that he basically kick-started the trend he criticizes with One Winged Angel, but maybe that's why it gets to him.

No thank you, the VII remake feels like they are making the rest of the game in the next room. "No, you can't do the next part, you have to collect flowers for orphans and have a motorcycle chase." Constantly buying time with stupid crap.

The original was well paced and fun, they would undoubtedly fuck it up and have Tetsuya Nomura write it.

A good CEO is a contradiction in terms.
