Re: Highguard Is Already Struggling to Hold Players' Attention

I'm glad that the development community is pushing back a bit because it's getting pathetic with the amount of people who gleefully want games to fail. If people spent as much energy talking about the games they do like compared to the ones they hate, maybe online communities wouldn't be such a cesspool.

Re: Larian CEO Swen Vincke Sticks His Foot in It Again, Thinks Game Reviewers Should Also Be Reviewed

I suspect this is going to be a story where the media are completely against him but a lot of gamers actually agree with him.
We saw with how certain outlets treated Hogwarts Legacy that many weren't willing to review or even cover a game in isolation because of outside forces that weren't connected to the game.
And I think a reviewer online even recently admitted that they shouldn't need to complete games in order to review them.
With things like that, it's no wonder that a lot of gamers lose trust in reviewers.

Also Jeff Gertzmann's reply is disappointing considering he famously got sacked from GameSpot because he didn't give Kane & Lynch a high score despite the website getting sponsored by it. Which is surly confirming Swen's point of people looking for trusted outlets.

I was hoping it was going to be Graham McTavish but Ryan Hurst is a good choice too. Certainly a lot better then going for someone like The Rock or Dave Baustia.
I'm glad that their doing the Norse era because there's far more story to work with that suited for adaptation. The greek game's stories can be told in a tweet if we're being honest.
