This won’t change just because he’s gone. The industry as a whole is in a place where passion products are avoided like spoiled meat.

Besides, I didn't say it took anything away from the other games. I rated the show 10/10, then the game about a guy in long johns trying to take a crap was shown again and I struck that rating. The show was pretty good in spite of BS.

And who knows? Even though we both called it bad, it could be good! Apparently it almost made the presenter barf from laughter, I'm sure that is a ringing endorsement in some language.

I assumed from the beginning you would never play it, so I see no goal post moving. The turd in the meal is a case of the bad item interfering with the good stuff; a bad game can only mess with you if you choose to play it, so I found it to be a false analogy. And "Enthusiasm killed" with the 10/10 crossed out kinda implied it took away from the good stuff.

Doesn't matter as my plans are set: I'll play Tactics and Bloodstained, avoid Baby Steps, probably play Metal Gear and Silent Hill, and I'll see how I feel about the others after seeing some gameplay vids.

Seeing the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster finally be announced is great, because it's yet another good reason to think that the IX remake is next in line, and could be announced very soon. Hopefully during the Summer Game Fest stream on Friday, but it could also be announced on July 7, the day that marks the actual 25th anniversary.

Exciting times!

Pragmata
Ghost
Cairn

Only three that really floated my boat.
I'd say it was leaning heavily towards its Asian market with this one

How fitting that those are the initials of that game! Christ almighty, what on the spectrum, Aspergers developer came up with THAT dumb concept??? I turned to my wife and said "they really are desperate for new ideas when something like that gets green lit!"

In a way, its our own fault. Gamers as a whole dont buy them. They'd rather keep playing Fortnite, Roblox, Call of Duty, Madden, and Apex. Look at Astrobot, last years GOTY winner. It only sold about 3 million units. Thats pathetic for a game of that quality on a platform of 75 million owners. A family friendly game like that should've easily been a 10-15 million seller. Especially at only 50.00.

I had a look in on the presentation and it wasn't a bad showing but nothing awe inspiring either. I agree with the comment about the Bond game looking very last gen. It pales in comparison graphically to Mafia: The Old Country and the design for Bond having a scar looked weird to me and looks like they've almost ripped off bits of Kingsman for the character.

Tides game looked really neat. Bioshock meets Deathloop vibes and solid graphics. The Marvel fighting game looked great out the lot as well. It opened up really weird with the Tetris type game for me. I was almost hoping for it to be a Yakuza game with the way the intro showed off an almost Kabuchiko looking place.

Over all its not going to razzle dazzle the pants off people but it wasn't a bad State of Play but Sony seems to be holding back until their own big hitters are in line.

Not cool.

Who else is hoping RE9 is revealed tomorrow?

Pragmata looks cool, though.

Dude, I'M on the spectrum. My youngest son is on the spectrum and goes to occupational therapy for it every week. Its still okay to make jokes about it. People need to lighten up.

An accountant…….on the spectrum. I’ve seen that movie before.

Thanks! Its things like hypersensitivity to loud or strange noises, things touching his skin like shirt tags, or rough materials. Underdeveloped motor skills for writing, tying shoe laces, buttoning shirts, etc. Plus he sometimes has trouble regulating emotions. He's very "fight or flight" in that he can go from calm to very upset in a second with zero build up. He's actually made a lot of progress and on track to graduate from OC at the end of the summer. My wife and I are just trying to exhaust every non-medication alternative because we want to avoid that if we can.

After watching the Dave's Garage Youtube channel I've noticed a mounting collection of signs I exhibit. Never been tested though. A good buddy of mine has a daughter that has it pretty aggressively. She was also born with a lot of tooth problems and because of that she's almost a teenager and has an extremely limited diet. It's been a long road for them but it seems they're headed in the right direction finally.

For sure exhaust all measures before medication. I've suffered from cluster headaches (non-accurate name for them, non-medically referred to as suicide headaches) since my early 30's and a lot of what they tried to put me on didn't work and had awful side effects.

Back on topic, still excited for MGS Delta and Yotei.

If its what I think it is, I've heard them referred to as "thunderclap headaches".

[Blu Lemmy]

This is not a lovely topic.

Similar. Different onset and slightly different symptoms. Mine manifests 99% of the time behind the left eye. Also with cluster they, cluster. I've had 10+ a day for weeks on end.

No, but you are a lovely topic.

Probably not the same set of problems, but you described some overlapping symptoms including where the pain manifests and duration. Not sure if you've been prescribed Nurtec, but it is the most effective med I've had for migraines. Got moved to a new insurance company a few years ago and they refuse to prescribe it (apparently it is quite expensive). I've learned to tolerate some of the other maladies acquired through the years, but migraines (or "strong headaches" as my new provider calls them) are complete show stoppers.
