Yeah but I don't waste time listening to CHU Ds or coming up with "Good arguments" against them because either implies they are available to be persuaded or worth the effort.

I'm currently playing (and really enjoying) The Veilguard, and it doesn't seem particularly more 'woke' than previous DA games, or the very popular Baldur's Gate 3. There's more trans rep and such, but other than that, its pretty par for the course for Bioware.

I haven't touched any of the other games, but I just remember the trailer for Veilguard that made it look like a fucking Marvel movie (which really didn't make me more interested in checking it out).

That trailer does not really reflect the tone of the game, and trailers such as that aren't exactly new for the series. Still, I don't think the marketing has been great at conveying what the game is really like.

So Veilguard had the same issue that Transformers One when it comes to being marketed poorly?

The Steam reviews meanwhile are still sitting at "Mostly Positive" based on 12,908 reviews as of this post.

Seems like most people who actually bought and played the game for a while — the requirement for being able to post a Steam review — are mostly satisfied with it.

Scalpers have gotten fucked trying to sell the PS 5 pro at scalper prices because no one wants to buy it.

That's pretty much it. James Stephanie is trying to take their mind off you-know-what by talking about something that makes them feel good.

Also they're hooked on Tamagotchi.

Not to burst James's bubble, but The PS5 Pro is selling well, actually. Better then the PS4 pro did in the same time frame so far.

It's more the fact that there's no supply issues like with Base PS 5 that no one is dealing with the scalpers bullshit thus time around, theres no need too.

Still funny, though.

[up][up][up] Considering Sony's policy of just releasing games on PC now, I think they're the prime reason why PS 5 now has no games.

That's not what they are saying, you're rebutting a point no one is making.

They open the video saying its selling fine and that there's no shortage. It's Scalpers who arent seeing any sales.

[up][up][up] Not sure how much of a bubble burst that was. JSS only made 2 comments about the selling of the PS5 Pro and its stock with respect to Sony. One is that they assume it's selling well enough, but not well enough, to create a supply scarcity to make scalping worthwhile. The other is to make a conjecture that part of the reason for the abundance in supply is that this is an expensive (read luxury) item, compared to already having a standard PS5, so the expected amount plus extra to absorb any additional shock would be enough to meet expected demand. The article itself doesn't really go against JSS' thesis or supporting comments.

[up][up][up] I'd say, at this point, that is at least in part due to games now each taking 4 years and $100 million dollars (at minimum) to make, meaning games are fewer and father between.

Not unless you plan and expand with multiple teams at different scales of scope. Which...well most companies aren't doing. Sony's not exactly running studios in a set with the idea that, as an example, if Zelda takes seven years you'd want to have two Kirbys release in that time frame.

...Sony basically overset itself for another 360 level console fight and when that didn't happen they kind of kept on that trajectory because of expectation creep.

The Jimquisition has existed for ten years (on Youtube), and not once has James Stephanie Sterling missed a monday to publish a video. So here we have a part-life story, part-retrospective, part-mental breakdown of ten years of Jimquisition.

There's also a very sweet thank you section at the end for everyone who supported them for all this time.

Thank God for you, James Stephanie Sterling, for everything you do, even if a ton of people hate you for it.

Omega-Force has done the unforgivable and given Zhang He a spear again instead of his trademark claws and James Stephanie has strong opinions on the matter.

Jokes aside, they have played the Dynasty Warriors Origins demo and as the self-proclaimed expert fanenby on the series, they are a bit bummed by the decreased scope of the series and the loss of a diverse roster to play with, which basically means that the spirit of the series is basically not present. The demo still played fun, but it's disappointing to not feel the same attraction to the large roster as before.

Also included: Shadow Generations is pretty damn fun and highly recommended.

I bet the claws are DLC again so we have to pay a bullshit extra just so Zhang He can play like Zhang He. Koei Tecmo fucks it up for everyone again.

Also speaking of, finally played Vampire Survivors. Only Steph can refer to Abaddon as a "sects pest."

Also the CV Living Dolls' lore being they're vengeful toys who punish children for being too careless with them could fit in finely with the actual series lore.

Back to the topic at hand, yeah its sad that so far the best most recent Musou game KT have put out is still the first Hyrule Warriors were absolutely nobody in that game were clones. Like got THREE Links in it, none of which play any bit the same.

Elon Musk, one of the richest men on Earth, thinks that videogames are too beholden to money and so wants to involve himself in videogames.

Although that's the framing of this episode, the subject is actually more about far right chuds inserting themselves in videogames and claiming that they represent the majority or that they've been around longer than everyone else.

Incidentally, there are no mentions of US politics in this episode, so I'm pretty sure that it's safe to post here.
