thaaaaat’s games journalism!

though honestly this seemed like an inevitable response to the Godus fiasco

Or that weirdly confrontational interview on uh… Rock Paper Shotgun or Eurogamer or whatever where the interview opens up by asking if Molyneux sees himself as a compulsive liar, which like, god damn.

If Molyneux actually was retiring, it would be a countdown until he takes it back and everyone ribs him for over promising on even that

that thing was so ridiculous that I almost couldn’t even be sorry for Molyneux because I would find it hard to take Hard Hitting John Walker seriously as a human being. he probably watched some documentary or something the night before to fire himself up about the important work he was about to do. for fifteen minutes, he became a reddit circlejerk spirit bomb. I hope that’s on his resume somewhere.

I have so many issues with this statement I can’t even type them all. I’m left with boycotting Hinge Problems.

Screw you. At least you have to love one handed Leo or shredder influenced leo in the black mask.

It’s a weird mess, but they basically own trademarks on every single thing Robert E Howard ever did because IP law needs to be destroyed and never resuscitated. (Not copyrights so as long as the word Conan doesn’t appear in the title you’re fine, which is why the comic book By Crom! can be published without any hassle)

?? !!

EDIT: Answering my own ??: Welcome to Steam

when Molyneux really retires he should let the Godus contest winner just take over the company

Volition released ISO of Saints Row PSP https://www.unseen64.net/saintsrowundercover/

The look, feel, and concept kinda reminds me of the Battlezone FPRTS that came out in the 90s

Chasing Soviet hovertanks around the moon was pretty fun. I played the multiplayer like twice maybe, but one of those times there was this dramatic 1:1 battle where my tank got blown up but I managed to eject and hide. Without a tank you a slow, weak, and only armed with a sniper rifle that only works against a tiny weak point in manned tanks. The other guy blew up everything else I owned and only needed to kill me to win. We played cat and mouse in the craters of the moon; being alone in my basement in the middle of the night made it feel like a desperate struggle on a desolate world. Eventually I’m found and just as I’m about to be destroyed I get a lucky shot in on the enemy tank, kill the pilot, and win. One of the standout gaming experiences in my life.
