If this whole horses fiasco has shown us anything, it's which of the stores actually care about video games.
Hint, it's only two of them.
(GOG and itch, humble took it down too)

now imagining a AAA game where you can talk to anyone about anything and they have to slop yellow paint on the dialogue boxes to indicate when conversations have been authored to contribute to the actual game story
AI dialogue in games is so stupid. If a studio hired 100 junior writers at fractional cents a word to write reams of mediocre and utterly meaningless dialogue for NPCs nobody would engage with that dialogue because it doesn't contribute anything. even if AI dialogue wasn't bad it'd be just like that

Been playing Bully. Been good. Completely offline, completely linear and single-player. Been a while since I had something like that.

Oh damn, it's 2025 already with a CES 2025 going on. I blinked and 2024 is gone, what is happening? Where is GTA 6 new trailer?

If there was any doubt, Echoes of Wisdom is not a spin-off, it's a mainline* Zelda game (and one of the best ones)!

I know people usually think badly about Xbox because of Microsoft having VERY deep pockets, but we need Xbox as a console brand to have a comeback to put up a fight with Sony and Nintendo. That would be great for customers.

Sony's State of Play yesterday came up pretty much within expectations, Ghost of Yōtei looking stunning just as Ghost of Tsushima on its time, A Horizon Zero Down Remaster was expected with the PS5 Pro on the horizon. Great surprises with Alan Wake 2 DLC, Soul Reaver remastered, AstroBot DLC 🎉

Today we have the State of Play and in the next days we will have the Tokyo Game Show, hopefully, with some interesting announcements and updates.

Just saw some news that plans for The Sims 5 are officially not happening, instead they'll focus in User Generated Content (UGC).
That feels like Project Rene that would be Sims 5 was in development hell and a money sink, and EA would rather resell the same 10 yo game and charge you for mods.
