Re: Killzone Fans Feast on Unlockable Helghast T-Shirt in The Last of Us 2 Remastered

@Flaming_Kaiser Lol I can remember thinking "If only this had prestige". It was a pointless addition to CoD imo but it kept me playing even though all you got was a different looking medal icon and weapon skin in some iterations.

I agree. They tried to go the CoD route and it flopped. They should have gone back to the KZ3 formula but I guess Horizon was on the ...Horizon so they shifted gears.

@Flaming_Kaiser IKR?! KZ3 is still the best multiplayer FPS I've played to date and I've played all the major ones. The balance of the various classes, weapons and mission objectives has yet to be beaten in any other multiplayer FPS imho. I think to date it's been the only game that's gotten me super hyped during load screens as you never know how a match will turn out. From the level to sound design and kill animations it was so immersive, even when playing as a Helgast I felt like it was my duty to win for the emperor lol. GG might not want to touch KZ cause of the lawsuite that followed after Shadow Fall. I hope they do though as even a remake would be most welcome.

Re: Anger as SAG-AFTRA Strikes Deal for AI Voice Acting in Video Games

I'm surprised there's complaints (unless i'm getting this wrong) but isn't this the same as the late Sir Sean Connery copyrighting his face and voice so if any one used this they had to pay royalties? This way great VA's can take on multiple roles from their couch and still get paid right? I understand that early on it will only be the more popular VA's used but with lots of mods out and coming out for rpgs that make npc's have multiple voice lines this would be a boon for lesser known VA's. They will need to revamp the payment structure for sure but it can be done. A shop keeper/ quest giver will get asked more random questions than villager A.

@get2sammyb Great article I'm making my way through G&G but Lv3 final bosses are impossible for me at the mo. You're right that it's probably my blessings and curio setups. Lots of ruing thus far but I am hopeful.
Are the images in the article from your account?(If so very nice) And how far have you gotten in G&G? At the moment i'm enjoying the new erudition path. Which path do you prefer?

@get2sammyb Did you pull for Ruan Mei? I've got Tingyun E6 amd Bronya E1 so not sure if I should get her or save my jades for when Penacony gets released plus we're getting Dr Ratio for free not sure if Hoyo would be generous enough to give his LC for free too though. One can only hope.

Re: Destiny 2's Latest Microtransaction Is So Bad Bungie's Already Removed It from PS5, PS4

@Terra_Custodes Yea it feels that way for me too. My video game consumption has been declining sharply over the years. I remember when watching a cutscene or cg trailer for a game used to get me hyped because back then they still put effort into making the actual game stand out. Now it seems they use the trailers to mask the train wreck they're trying to peddle. Its the current state of society that's causing this level of censorship but humans shift trends every 10 to 20 years or so. Another decade to go I guess.

@Flaming_Kaiser The only games I day 1 now are Sony first party games. Everything else is a wait and see. I'm still playing D2 but that's because I paid for the yearly pass for lightfall thinking it would be as good as witch queen but I was so wrong. That's the last money bungie will see from me for a long while. Their advertising is also false as it says "free to play" when in fact most of the content is locked behind pay walls so it should be "free to try".

@Terra_Custodes You're still on topic as DLC was the demise of "free" which was actually a full game because they did all the hard work to ensure their games sold. Not to say they still don't do hard work but if you look at Sony first party games they are full games and the DLC is an add on which is how DLC was supposed to be. Not charging players almost full game price for characters or maps that should have been in the full build or a nostalgia skin.

@Terra_Custodes Yea being a fighting game fan I remember the full roster glory days. Tekken 8 seems like the only one willing to uphold that tradition which is why it's the only one I shall purchase out of the big 3. Gamers need to vote with their wallets. If they stop buying this crap the studios will stop peddling but then again they hire staff who know how to abuse and influence gambling addiction. It's pretty disgusting when you think about it. No wonder there's more negativity in the gaming sphere.
