Ubisoft are gonna need a quick cash grab to offset the lawsuit settlement they'll have to pay Singaporean government for using their agreement for the Skull & Bones project as a vacation hotspot
Patenting in the gaming industry seems pretty pointless and depressing. It just adds fuel to the console exclusivity fire. Patenting can be very useful and they can exist as a stepping stone in innovation if done right or implemented in a mutually beneficial way for the industry and the holder, but when games take so long to make nowadays I get the feeling this won't benefit consumers over the 20 year cycle and more ideas and creativity in the space will be infringed and stifled rather than inspired and implemented. Especially when the natural course of the industry will steer toward implementing AI in different areas and you can be sure the biggest corporations aren't gonna let an opportunity for further control over their competitors slip through their grasp. If the biggest players have run out of ideas they'll simply throw money at the problem - which is precisely what Xbox is trying to do when the potential acquisition of Sega, Nintendo, etc leaked. More corporate control in the industry will not benefit the consumers.
I played Sable a few months ago, to put it bluntly - style over substance. Quite easily the most boring game I've played this year. More so than Trek to Yomi, another game that's more style over substance.
Might try Lego 2K Drive at some point but I'm not expecting much.
Fantastic game considering it was only made by two guys. Well worth a buy for the core challenging gameplay and great soundtrack. One of the best games I played last year
Genuinely can't recall a worse month for the service. Announced at the same time as subscriber stagnation reports and price increases across all membership tiers. Amazing.
Playing Disco Elysium reminded me how good CRPGs can be and it seems like BG3's even greater freedom and replayability make it an absolute must-play. Could see it getting GOTY
I think the side content in 0 is some of the most fun, varied and hysterical in the more recent entries and sets it apart from the other games i've played, never mind the soundtrack! The Majima side content in Kiwami is great too. 0 - 10, Kiwami - 9, Kiwami 2 - 8, LaD - 8

Blasphemous was the biggest surprise of any game I played a couple years ago. So metal, so gritty, so good. The sequel will be a must-play
