Re: Dead Space Remake to Feature Alternate Ending, Pre-Load Times Revealed

EVIL-C

@RainbowGazelle I don't so much mind remakes. There's plenty that are genuinely new to me and others on one hand, and the other is I like seeing what new technology can bring to old classics that I've enjoyed. It does wonders for some games, like Resident Evil or Shadow of the Colossus.

Remasters are more hit and miss. They're cheaper, so publishers like that.

Ultimately, I think there needs to be the right balance.

Re: French Trade Union Calls on Ubisoft Paris Workers to Strike Following CEO's Comments

EVIL-C

@InternetUser Shows how little you know of the issue. Specifics can vary wildy, but 4 day work weeks can comprise the same hours as 5 in many cases.
Of course, the idea of a 40-hour work week is a myth to millions of people anyway, which is just more telltale signs of why society is working itself to death and is poorer than previous generations to show for it.

Ubisoft is a trash company and their management is abhorrently terrible, this isn't news to anyone who's paid attention for the past 5 years. I'd love to see the workers boot out the crap management and actually save the company. I stand with workers, like myself.

Re: Forspoken Continues to Divide Opinion Following PS5 Demo

EVIL-C

@Fenbops I have zero interest in even looking into the demo of Forspoken, as Square games are usually "blah" to me, but whenever the "W word" is tossed around without a second thought, that person should immediately be ignored as a non-serious, right wing buzzword-obsessed clown.

Re: PlayStation's Jim Ryan Named Among 500 Most Influential Global Media Business Leaders

EVIL-C

Unbelievable. Ryan should be fired. Blind fanboys will gush over Ryan, combined with blind brand loyalty to Sony being impenetrable, but taking a more objective analysis to what all the competition offers, and their messaging, Ryan is the worst, most disconnected, out of touch figurehead of the bunch.
Sony has the 1st party exclusives and the 3rd party deals to keep people coming back, despite their many other downsides. 🤷‍♂️

Re: Days Gone Director Blames Woke Reviewers, Programmers for Critical Reception

EVIL-C

@KaijuKaiser Seems I touched a nerve, lol. I project nothing. I have no hidden agenda. I don't hide my dislike of the far-right, of nationalists, of pointless culture war garbage arguments, of neo-nazis, etc... for examples, at all. I appreciate introspection, self-analysis and accountability from everyone, regardless of position. That includes myself.
Until those aforementioned stop using worn out buzzwords like "woke" 10K times per day to (ignorantly) describe everything they don't like, there is no valid counter. It just shows ones brain is a lazy, drunken mush of culture war garbage.

Like I said, no introspection. Examine recent US election results, examine general sentiment in the US political system, including last night in Georgia, and understand why they are so unpopular. "Woke bad, woke bad, I'm the real victim! Wwaaaahhhhhhh! " is not only idiotic and weak, but completely meaningless and unpopular.

As for the so-called professional reviewers, I couldn't care less what they think. The game never looked appealing to me, despite the horde-fighting mechanics being somewhat enjoyable, from what I read. My motto is and always has been play/read/watch/consume what you enjoy. If one needs the approval of others to do that, then I have no clue what to say there. O_o

These people just made a mediocre game, and they refuse to take responsibility. That's weak.
