Atari is turning RollerCoaster Tycoon into a match-3 game
|
Fucking hell, what a weird idea. I just can't make commercial sense of it. Surely, the audience of whom the Rollercoaster Tycoon brand resonates with, are not the type to play simplistic Match-3 games? Surely, there are so many other ways to theme a Match-3 game to the extent that if it had to be theme park themed, you would not need to use the title: "Rollercoaster Tycoon". Just fucking make a good Rollercoaster Tycoon game that goes back to its roots. Then you'll get some $$$. |

I find it extremely ironic that Eurogamer publishes this article, knowing full well what reaction this would provoke from their audience. And yet they then include a link to buy GTA5, from a company that barely pays any tax. |

Dell's Black Friday sale rolls on with big discounts on laptops, desktops and monitors

For those looking for a gaming laptop, I can vouch for saveonlaptops.co.uk There I acquired a beastly Dell Inspiron 3/4 years ago that is capable of playing Total War: Warhammer 2 on Med-High settings, editing my documentaries and survived a 6 month tour through African deserts. |

The Nintendo Switch Black Friday eShop sale starts later this week
|
@Mwulf Thank you, mate. I'll take a look at what the price actually is and if it seems "low risk", perhaps I'll take a punt. I know I'd be more inclined if the roster was bigger/more diverse. It's not a bad size, but 4/5 Gokus, 2/3 Gohans, 2/3 Buus *sigh* |

| @Limeylicious That one caught my eye. However, I'm not a huge fighting game fan (more curious to have some different genres in my library) and as impressive as the art direction is, the roster seems like 10 iterations of Goku. Would you still recommend all the same? |

Amazon drops some early Nintendo Switch Black Friday bundles
|
I really wish that Eurogamer, as an authoritative voice in the gaming industry, would start supporting other outlets more regularly. Amazon is a behemoth that remains cost-effective and convenient at the sacrifice of morality and fair competition. As I constantly tell other people AKA consumers, Amazon will only remain as such for as long as there's competition. Once that's died, how else will their profits grow? |

PlayStation reportedly lays off "dozens" of employees in UK office
|
This is bad for the employees, this is bad for the company and this is bad for the consumers. Whilst an English speaking market, there's so many nuances from a local marketing perspective that will dull down the engagement with their comms. Give it a couple of years. Also beginning to explain why Kaz stepped down. CEO's rarely need to step down for personal opportunities. It's usually a pessimistic view of the horizon so they can cash out at the top of their game... Pun very much intended. |

Respawn on Medal of Honor VR: "Our goal is to make the Nazis as scary as they actually were"
|
There's a much easier and more authentic way to solve this problem. Allowing for the 'Myth of the clean Wermacht', you can tier the enemies based on their affiliation. If they were Wermacht, then perhaps they're a more vanilla enemy type. But if they're SS, they should have better weapons, more aggressive AI and even more "health" based on their willingness to fight to the end. You can then even go further to the ranks there. Thinking further, you could really challenge the player's experience by needing to decide within seconds what to do with soldiers who surrender. Then, going back to the enemy types, perhaps the SS would have the propensity to turn on you when your back's turned or use sabotage. |

Two important things I'd like to point out are: - These are only the reported incidents.

Skyrim mods let you add Game of Thrones' Starbucks cup

@Bilbur I honestly don’t know what you’re trying to say here. One can enjoy both the book and show, no? But righto k lol. And to your last point, the same views could easily be applied to grown individuals, such as us, debating the righteous application of passion towards a novel about dragons and tits lol |

@Wayne Completely and totally agree with this. People are allowed to be passionate about whatever they like. For example, I arrived back from South Africa this morning and found a guy with a zoom lens DSLR outside Heathrow watching the planes come in. Now that's not my cup of tea, but good for him that he found some joy in it. I stand by my argument: Game of Thrones has provided years of entertainment that I feel blessed for having been able to experience. But the way the story arcs are being wrapped up is extremely disappointing. When you've grown to appreciate something, to see what it's turning into, is perfectly valid disappointment. |

Yes, Final Fantasy 7 Remake is still episodic
|
@Number1Laing These are fair points. I'm glad you said that about FFXV. Each time I'm tempted to buy it, I read 2-3 very negative comments, particularly about the story which is more important to me. These days it's not the price, but the time that can be wasted from a disappointing experience. Perhaps I'll have to dive in ;) |

I don't easily choose to be a negative mouthpiece but as far as I'm concerned, this isn't a remake of FF7 and feels like a cop out for developing the overworld. The first memory I have that confirmed FF7 as one of the most influential experiences I've had with entertainment was leaving Midgar and venturing into the wider-world. Considering how key the overworld was for important encounters, this doesn't sit right. I don't understand why Squenix struggle to do what they used to get so much success for. I haven't played any FF past 12, mind. I get the impression XIV is the last true FF experience (excluding 13) so I'll have to dive into that sometime. |

Final fantasy 14's Shadowbringers expansion lets you be a Dancer

I'm really keen to try this as it feels like "true" Final Fantasy, but I'm confused by how this game works. Is it an MMORPG like XI where you're part of this expansive WoW-like world, or do you follow a linear narrative ala a single player game where you can team up with people online for quests? |

Here's everything you need to know about Firestorm, Battlefield 5's thrilling take on battle royale
|
I never watch Let's Plays but this was really enjoyable to watch. What I particularly like was how considered the firefights felt in the early stages. Realistic tactical positioning vs massacres and grenade spams. I haven't got BF5 as from what I've read, it's an anaemic offering compared to BF1, but perhaps this'll change that... |

"I just get an IV drip and go to work like normal"
|
There are 3 realms of responsibility here: - Japan needs to acknowledge that it has an unsustainable work-culture. Especially if they want to turn their economy around, because it's fucked. - Nintendo need to let Sakurai feel valued instead of pressured. They need him more than he needs them. - Sakurai needs to work on his self-esteem (read above). If he could see that he's in a position of power, his health would drastically improve. |

So it's finally here. I'm not a graphics-fiend but I must say my first impressions were that it was a graphical downgrade from other high-profile output on the Switch. For such a headliner, I would've thought they'd polish this to the 9s. |
