Ex-Blizzard boss Mike Morhaime on allegations: "I am ashamed"

Bosscat1980

1 month ago

That's a ridiculous attitude to have! He's not responsible for the behaviour of others and suggesting he is doesn't make any sense! He's not responsible for the crimes of other individuals and as long as he hasn't perpetrated any crime then only those responsible should be held accountable and punished accordingly! Just to be clear I am entirely against any discrimination or harm caused but don't believe in blaming people for the behaviour and actions of individuals that can be identified and rightly held accountable!

Whatever happened to City of Metronome, the missing game by Little Nightmares developer Tarsier?

Bosscat1980

Little Nightmares is an "O.k" franchise, personally I thought the first game was considerably better than the second but City of Metronome looks and sounds like it could have been something really special so that's a shame they couldn't get a fully realised game into production!

@MistahParker No its not! Your talking absolute nonsense! You don't suspend staff as soon as an allegation is made! What are you talking about!! All parties are approached and statements taken with an independent person from those making the allegations investigating the claims on both sides and only then will it be decided if disciplinary action up to suspension or possible dismissal is appropriate! Yes this is my part of my job so I know what I'm talking about and work to employment law which does constitute innocent until proven guilty as otherwise you get taken to employment tribunals and you as the company lose and then have to pay compensation and reinstate the employee! This is what I was talking about in my other post Opinion is more important than facts to keyboard/social justice warriors! Back in the real world there's something called due process!!

@Daeltaja We now live in a time of trial by social media when opinion is more important than facts, If someone chooses to make any kind of allegation against you your basically presumed guilty until proven innocent and by then your character, reputation and possibly your life are completely destroyed with absolutely no remorse on the part of those responsible and being a nice decent person won't help you at all If anything it makes you an easy target!

Silent Hill PSX is still my favourite game of all time at 41yrs old having played the demo that came with MGS and then the full game when it came out I just thought it was incredible at the time! Having played the pretty awful The Medium on Series X via Gamepass I'm really disappointed Bloober appear to be making the next Silent Hill game as their recent Blair Witch game was absolutely awful as well!

Well one obvious question for me is... are all games going to keep having a free upgrade as they currently do then!? Surely charging £70 for these games on PS4 isn't going to be a thing as that's simply not the rrp for PS4 games! So are we going to have £70 PS4 games or are the same games going to have a £20 price difference between PS4 and the PS5 version!? Surely everyone will just buy the PS4 version!? Sony have made it clear they want to charge £70 for PS5 games so presumably the free upgrade is going to stop!??

Played and completed it (on a Series X) in just over 20hrs did probably half the side missions and I really liked it personally! However i gotta say the gibberish narrator part being changed with dialogues shortened is a REALLY good thing, it was the only annoying part of the game which quite honestly I just skipped through without bothering to listen to or read after about 5hrs in which for me would make a decent game actually a really good game so anyone on the fence with this game I would say defo give it a go!

Yes Cyberpunk was bad but it should defo be back on the store at this point having been patched to 1.22 with the same warning as on the Xbox store that it still has performance issues!

The left once again jumping on the self righteous train of anything you don't agree with instantly labelled as racist and intolerant when this has clearly been done (to great effect) to annoy and rile up the leftist idiots among you all! When leftist actually get down from their soap box long enough to see that then people like this will get bored and stop trying (requires literally zero effort) to get the reaction you literally never fail to deliver on! Personally I just see it for what it is.... Nonsense that's easy to ignore without getting upset about it!

Bosscat1980

Gladly the Nintendo nostalgia that they currently live on wont last forever as teenagers and the new generation don't want to play ludicrously over priced games on utterly abysmal hardware that are 2 generations behind the competition on a technical level!! Also does everyone not think a big part of why Sony decided £70 was a fair price for games is because Nintendo are charging over £60 for their games that simply don't have the same level of cutting edge technology and therefore associated costs to make them with many being years and years old ports of games!! I personally think it's a big part of the reason... Nintendo are anti consumer and a truly bad influence over the gaming industry with their aforementioned anti consumer practices! I just wish people would wake up to it!!

Well I've got it downloaded to PS5 as it was obv a freebie and I really liked the originals including Munch and Stranger! Your review reads like a recommended to me so was a little suprised it didn't get it!? I'm intersting to know the average play time if anyone knows as whilst game length doesn't just eqate to monetary value I just thought £44.99 on PSN seemed quite high to me! for what I'd always thought was a fairly niche franchise back in the day! I hope it sells well as I would like a genuinely new game to continue the quintology and just hope the price point doesn't hurt sales too much for that to happen!??

Eurogamer launches paid work experience programme for ethnic minorities

Bosscat1980

5 months ago

Whether people like to hear or accept it or not this kind of misplaced initiative only exacerbates the racial divide it certainly doesn't lessen it! Giving opportunities to ethnic minorities and excluding white people is a mistake and causes more bad feeling than its ever going to fix as this would never be allowed to happen if it was an initiative for poor disadvantaged white people! This most certainly does not create a level playing field it does infact stack it entirely on one side and once the Liberal masses realise that then maybe initiatives that actually work can be tried to fix the racial divide instead of these well meaning poorly thought out seemingly easy wins that lazy companies prefer to keep using to make themselves look inclusive when by sheer matter of fact they end up coming across as the complete opposite!! And believe me this is coming from a father that wants his daughter to grow up in a world free of racism and prejudice!!

Personally I hope their going to acknowledge joycon drift and actually fix it or possibly a new game although either of those things is as likely as an alien invasion so I don't hold much hope!..... What's that i hear stampeding Nintendo fanboys on the defensive fighting to neg me first!! 🙄

I played this to completion on Series X and its performance varies considerably throught as well! In places the game looks incredible but it's inconsistent as it can look very average as well at times! I have an LG65CX and it has an issue I think with the HDR implementation because when it's a dark scene which is often the black level noticably flickers which doesn't happen on other games I have on series X or on any PS5 games I've played so I think it defo needs work overall not just on PC

So a first party game with some poor performance and frame pacing issues in a 7year old rehash but obviously not only not criticised but excuses made for it because... well.... Nintendo!! 🙄
Oh and for the record I have a switch and only point this out because im not blinded by some kind of misguided fanboyism to a global corporation that I paid for a games console! As a paying consumer I just expect new games not a constant stream of Wii U games a console I also owned and actually feel punished for owning as I've played these games before! Which is why Bowsers Fury should also be a stand alone release not forcing me to buy 3d World AGAIN! at full price... and in actual fact more than I paid first time around! 🤷‍♂️
