Never give up on Half Life 3, man, never. Look at Shenmue, 3 happened and it was amazing!

Yeah, fuck that, HL3 never happening, lol.

Hey! You got Half Life Alyx instead.

They’re asking what platform you want to play each of their games on (Persona 4, Persona 5 Royal, 13 Sentinels, etc.). Xbox is a selectable option. Go fill in Xbox for every choice lol.

And I guess the fact that they’re asking about P5R on other platforms means Sony doesn’t have it moneyhatted like some believe.

So they really just do unpaid exclusives for no reason? Like let’s forget Xbox, how can they neglect Switch where the game will easily do well? Or PC?

Ah… when Valve actually made games

They not only stopped making games, they also acquired a great studio [Campo Santo] and made them stop making games. Fuck that.

Haha yeah I have given up! Shenmue is amazing, the originals were ahead of their time.

Ah I didn’t know that, why Valve??!

Just did the long Atlus Yearly survey. Towards the end just spammed xbox for list of platforms i want their games on

From Atlus to our dear fans: Please take part in our annual survey!

That was a lot of questions. At least i got a nice thank you video at the end.

2015 was the best year for Xbox One, 2 years after launch and there were not only fantastic 3rd party games but also a great first party lineup with Halo 5, forza 6, ori and the blind forest and timed exclusivity on Rise of the Tomb Raider. 3rd party had Fallout 4, Starwars Battlefront, Dying Light, Mad Max, Metal gear solid V, Witcher 3.

2022 is a wasteland of releases. 2021 was the bare minimum, 2020 was dead. We’ll see what Xbox is going to do for 2023 but I’m no longer going to play the guessing game. Avowed, Fable and State of Decay 3 could be in pre-production for all we know because of covid.

2022 isn’t over and 2015 wasn’t at the end (i fuckin hope) of a global pandemic. Your comparison is a bit flawed when only Ori and Dying Light released before May 2015 and we got a new Dying Light this year already

So I have only briefly seen some things about them, but Valve as a work place is super unusual compared to most other work places, as far as I can tell. It is highly democratised with no middle management as far as I know, and people can go and work on what they want.

This can have the effect though of projects not getting that ‘ooomph’ that sees them to completion.

1 and 2 were fantastic but I was sarcastic about 3, man what a disappointment that turned out to be.

I also heard something along the lines of staff get paid bonuses for resolving issues that create monetary or user benefits, therefore employees prefer to work on the UI and small projects rather then spending years on a game.

Indeed. This all comes back to Steam though, as it allows the company to be how it is and can ‘ignore’ games.

I made sure to tell them at the end that SH2 not being on Switch is a pretty big mistake (using SMT V and Rune Factory 5 sales data as proof), and also that I am an Xbox player and that I hope to see more Xbox games from them. I said me preordering Project Refantasy will depend on if Xbox is a platform or not.

I guess you gotta remember that pre Switch pretty much every small-mid Japanese developer was comfortably just making the vast majority of their games exclusively on PS (unpaid). A lot of them managed to move away from this model but Atlus has been pretty slow at it (they are getting there I think).

I already forget now, but I don’t think SMT V port was an option was it? Maybe Nintendo did lock that one down if I’m not forgetting.

Having mostly good fun with GotG. Nothing special really, a standard AAA third person action game. Cutscenes can be boring and unskipable which I don’t like. A lot of taking your hands, walking through corridors, squeezing between stuff, talking with the cast though the cast and dialoge can be fun while playing, uhlike in the cutscenes for whatever reason. Visual are good and the music is fantastic.

After I finish Cyberpunk this is next for me, the things you don’t like will make the game great for me.

Wow that was long, but I did my duty. I really hope they start porting these games to xbox

@foxlife

Im guessing Bloober will be making one and it will be multiplat

Sony are also making one with Kojima and he will utilise PSVR2

[jfsolo]

Josh Sawyer and I did the the same quest in Cyberpunk last night. He shotgunned the guy to death, I was more “merciful” and just quickly snapped his neck.

But Dusk Golem says Sony is involved here and it really seems indeed like this is Bloober. Involved can mean marketing I guess but…
