@Bagwag82 I was just wondering that ... well my name, not yours 🤣

Pause the video at 37 seconds, and thats AI at its best 🤣

@11001100110zero the problem of sorts is that some devs see it as a "quick buck"; maybe they are unsure if it will sell because of release date (what its up against), or any other number of factors like if there's an appetite for the game.

I guess if you are a small indie studio and someone offers you (just random figures here) 500k for a game you spent 100k developing, its an instant win, as in profit.

But of course, if there was an appetite and it becomes a breakout hit, like say balatro, you could then be losing out on millions of sales... its very much an Occams razor scenario in some cases.

But to your overall point, I generally agree that no one is forcing them - just hope the above explains the pros and cons. 👍

@get2sammyb played both console and handheld... you are not alone!

@Rich33 I hope so too, but history tells us bad things with such big delays. Will be very happy to be proven wrong is so, however!

Remember buying the first game for PC and my girlfriend at the time loved it, and played it more than me as I liked the story, and didn't like the horror elements, and vice versa, so everytime I got freaked out, she'd play it for me 🤣🤣🤣

Add to that she had her own save file for when I did driving lessons, overtime etc, so definitely played more than me 🤪

Isn't it a penguin and a pig? Who knows!

@XanderTigerclaw can I.... can't i say 1st?! Oh no... ok then 🤣👍

How has nobody picked up on the fact of the blatant fact that if he was looking for a "b" button, id like to know why he was playing it on PC in the first place 🤣

@LikelySatan I dont remember the fact they made two. I only remember judgement day, which was a great start and finish to camerons franchise.

@rjejr jesus, mun! Ai vs ai is a grim view even for me... but wholly understand your point and never thought of it that way... ever tried sending a script to Charlie Brooker with an ai "wargames trained by narcissists" scenario?. I know the world "ended" 2 seasons ago in a semi similar fashion... but I think your idea is more a series!

@rjejr ironically if ai is trained on dystopian movies, it will believe that the rise of the machines is a prophecy, and terminator will become something of a bible...

Half said in jest, half really not...

@nessisonett are you mad?! What the world needs now is Columbo reboot 🔥😜

@Northern_munkey just my favourite driver... honestly thought Oscar had that... to bring it back on topic I bet Stella was sweating more than a skin grafted ps5 🤪🤣

@Northern_munkey landoooooo!

@FourDayBeard but this is 4 better than diablo! 4!

If i can figure out a way to get the sound to my laptop, I'll look forward to using this with my volcas, Roland and stylophones... shouldn't be too hard to record some loops even without exporting as an option 👌

Another reason to dip in on a 3rd format!

I'm gonna buy it - been day 1 since bl2... but nothing way in jack am I paying for the premium dlc enabled edition. Wonderlands scarred me with that scam...

I'll wait for a sale on dlc, thank you - maybe the full bundle and get it still probably cheaper than the "full edition" as i have no interest in skins for my weapons. 🤣

@AndyKazama in my case I bought it in the past, so had to go firebreak by default. But you are right. Katamari had been a go to game since PS2 for me, and its a relaxing game in general and yet quite difficult to master.

I understand that its also one of those people will look at and immediately dismiss because of graphics / gameplay etc - its very much a marmite game unfortunately.

@Ed_Zeppelin and I still have my psp because emulation haha. Didn't keep my vita as battery was struggling!

@Ed_Zeppelin PSP dude... i had to look twice!

@Gremio108 🤣🤣🤣 capitalism! Woot!

@Gremio108 don't give them any ideas, or we'll get a ps plus pricing roadmap, along with seasons of games we can play, and limited edition titles to add value every month... add in mtx and maybe they have the live service game they've craved... ps plus menu navigator!

@Anya-chan I need to call an ambulance. After reading that, I feel like I've had a stroke 🤣

Honestly, if English isn't your first language; sorry... but please try and use at least some punctuation 👍

@LogicStrikesAgain yes im chris hemsey, yes im the real hemsey, all the other chris hemseys are just im-ar-tatin' 🤣🤣🤣

@Dimey lucky you... and her! My cousin would like to meet both of you 😉🤣

@AdamNovice you have a body and a head and nipples and xy chromosomes and pert buttocks, don't you? You're not different to chris Hemsworth. We are all chris Hemsworth!

We are Spartacus! Oh hang on... wrong movie and rugged beard man.

@themightyant I'm just jumping in to say I agree with the over reactive nature of stuff like this... it puts me off being parts of "communities" and drives my "engagement" levels down on social media and with creators... if someone just came out with a "boring" video, saying what they expect / anticipate and say "looks cool" or similar, then im more on board - not this overhyped stuff that just comes across as very cringe worthy. And yes, I also agree with the click bait methods used such as the thumbnails; i see one like that and i skip it immediately.

Maybe im old, I don't know about you; but this place "for everyone" (the internet) is too full of attention seeking people. I'm sure when Berners-Lee set this alight, he thought to himself: "can't wait until viral videos of edge lords screaming into microphones are invented; that'll teach the people who like information" 🤣

@Kidfunkadelic83 🤣🤣🤣

@Dragoon1994 yep I agree it doesn't say otherwise, so fingers crossed for you.

I'll put in a preorder like I said for switch and if I spot an Asian import somewhere I'll nab that instead.

I've been burned enough by LRG now to know to always check VGP / PlayAsia etc to double check there's not another release elsewhere as you still pay 20% tax anyway for imports.

@Dragoon1994 I was excited then when I saw your comment, looked on amazon and the switch version is code in a box. Blegh.

Oh well, LRG get another switch sale from me 🤣

@Czar_Khastik same - I needed to see it in action. Super mega expensive "genesis case" will be mine!

@Hundred_Hand_Slap no problem. I wasn't sure if you were being pedantic or was a serious question, so I answered in generalised terms in case it could prove useful.

At the end of the day, we'll always be "conned" as we are those at the end of the chain that pay the aggregated totals (except for loss leaders in supermarkets, which are there to attract footfall, and more money spent - there's a whole psychology in that - look it up if you're unsure!).

But yeah... if you were to say, keep ducks, chickens etc like my step grandparents did in the garden, it's not a bad thing, as its free Sunday/ Easter/ Xmas dinner) - unless you were my mom and got emotionally attached to said animals haha. You literally fed them through "war knowledge" just your standard grain etc (as i say these are very basic things I remember). But you knew what was in them when it came to eating them.

I don't know if it's available (or if you can tolerate him) in CA, but have a look at (Jeremy) Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime. There's still "dumb" set pieces, but it's gone some way into the general understanding of farming alone in the UK, such as costing running a farm (in a very sped up way, mind, because he can afford it).

With regards to games though, I'm of the opinion that we've had it very good since the SNES etc when I remember Donkey Kong country being like 70 quid over here (if I remember right, thats 140 CAD without inflation adjustment). Unfortunately the popularity of the original PS was a boon in that it drove (disc based) games down in price, but also a curse as its led to essentially a monopoly in the industry (nintendo are my faves, and do their own thing, and at least 1 gen behind, so I don't count them in a way) meaning that whatever can be charged.

Another way to think about that though is if they were to charge say 200CAD, there would still be people that just wait for a deep sale, or go physical... as we are all generally of the assumption they're banking on all digital, any company must balance the price right for additional profit, or it will drive people back to flash discounts on physical anyway... which is not what they want at the end of the day.

Too much now anyway... plenty more can be said but that enough as I'm putting my mario kart lego set together 🤣

@Hundred_Hand_Slap unfortunately, you have to take on the supply chains profits, as well as operating costs.

If everything was literally farm to table; you'd still pay agricultural costs; let alone middle men (and potentially middle men of middle men), logistics such as drivers pay, fuel, electricity at processing plants (even if vegetables are washed) etc.

I'm not fully into the ins and outs, but the more bumps there are in the road for our "convenience", the higher it will always be.

Same goes with if you want "good meat" as opposed to processed, or low quality. You pay for what you get.

Some farm shops here in the UK can seem high in price, but in some cases at least you can actually go and see the animals before they turn into a tasty burger at home 🤣

Confirmed then... randy would like all gearbox games f2p*

*as long as MTX brings in as much as they spend on dev costs+

+and then they'll still carry on charging, and not stop profiting

Simple really.

🤣

My work experience: because I was a moody working class teen that quite frankly cba, my history teacher got my placement with her friend at the archives service. Was cool to an extent with the old microfilm readers and stuff but as it was a subsidy of the library very quiet... one day I literally fell asleep at the desk sorting local photos back in order in a physical file.

Otherwise, I had my first taste of the Internet and remember reading about f1 a lot that week and understanding what bargeboards are (thanks to the brew haha over Schumacher and Irvine that weekend)... it was the first time i realised the intricacies of f1 being more than just going fast and crashing and started my love of it, from a pastime. History... a little less so, so I know how to use index cards 🤣

@Kidfunkadelic83 had to love the challenges like say (this is not a real one) "Into the void", then you basically had to boot up every plus game to figure out what the heck they were on about - there were some very vague descriptions that seemed like they were written by some insane genius, just to get say 50p of credit 🤣

@K1LLEGAL same - was all over the switch ones until i saw the prices; especially the "EDITION"... um... editions. I generally go by if it rates 75 out of 100 or higher I'll consider physical, 80 or higher it's a guaranteed purchase... but at (I checked last night, so like a song says; I could be wrong, i could be right) £180, it's too much to justify for me personally.

More power to people who have more disposable income, or can afford that though.

@AaronBayne sorry dude- hate being that guy, but also a stickler!

"The Corpse’s Bride"

So close! Try again!

@Dodoo you can play offline; need an Xbox/ miscrosoft account to log in, first time; but after that you can play without Internet. All it means is some trophies (if your are/not interested are unobtainable with Multiplayer.

@thefourfoldroot1 fair enough! Completely understood and I misread (or believed what i wanted) into your situation 🤣

But yeah I know what you mean having so many games on the go. I'm a serial "player and hour and ditch them" kinda guy. Sometimes never go back but it's my money wasted. Sometimes some games are just way too complex for my adhd 🤣🤣🤣

@thefourfoldroot1 personally I have disposable income and owned it in the past on Xbox. I'm an arcade racer first and rpg second, and it's took up most of my time compared to Clair unfortunately. But it's still a damn good game. I remembered I liked it, but didn't remember how much!

If you have the willpower, more power to you for holding out; you won't regret it once you get past the 6.9 quadrillion icons at the map at once (and learn to use filter!), and for a lower price compared to time played - bargain for you!

Why all this "needs more time to cook" malarkey? Obviously it needs more time to prepare, as there's bugs in the underlying ingredients 🤣

@zhoont moze- my main in bl3 and the only good reason for me to play as I overboosted.

Forgot all about the direct, and I'm a bit sad there's no similar character if true, but I'm a bl player through and through, good times and bad and I'm sure I'll find a main that I love eventually.

I think sticking to 4 to begin with is fine - any more will blatantly come with the directors cut etc, and I'm fine with that, as its been the standard of bl now for a while.

@Czar_Khastik with midlife crisis hair like he has now, I'm always gonna back the little guy.

@heavyartillery56 yes, because The Demon on WCW worked so well.. and David Flair 🤪 😅

I played it for a day or so... until it crashed and then I played Clair and forza 🤣

@Bamila and as an owner of an og rog ally that cost 700 quid, twice as good and nearly twice the price 🤣 i still have it... just obviously saying it's not exactly apples and pears.

@Papery0shi could still be possible - it did say (words to the effect of) "available today on"... obviously they can't release it on switch 2 today; so could be a month or 2 down the line.
