EA doing their best to kill a franchise… can’t Disney get the game rights back?

At least reviews seem to be calling it

Single-player campaign also lackluster

Edit: The user score on metacritic at 1.4 lol

PUBG for the win for nomad’s sake   Laughing

But in all seriousness, list seems pretty solid. Any other games you guys would have wanted to see up there or not see? I loved the Uncharted game this year and would have loved to see it there. Also possibly Hellblade.

Speaking about the ign fiasco, Vince tweeted this about the incident.

I feel bad for the guy since it seems HR has not done it’s job properly, by educating their employees about what constitutes sexual harassment and talking to the guy about the wrong he did. I have listened to Vince on ign shows before, and he seems like a really nice guy so I was surprised that all this went down.

Here is the full list of nominees, Hellblade is there which is nice and other well reviewed games like RE7 and Nier are also in other categories.

Personally I wouldn’t put PUBG in there but it’s such a phenomenon I can see why they chose it. I have not played nearly enough games this year so I don’t know.

This is getting to much skewed in one direction, best bet for males in Americas is to have a lawyer and log of online chat and drag the matter to the court
Much better to set a precedent than loosing your career on very thin line of accusation

Even in neogaf case, i would never allow my wife or daughter to get boozed and share same effin hotel room with another male friend who is also boozed , i mean wut?

Its keelay he needs clicks and participation to fund his sponsors hence chinese game category too and pubg also have biggest audience in china, TGAs also broadcasted in china…so yeah marketing move

If chinese are voting, i dont think even mario/nintendo fanbase can fight it

Objectively Horizon should win, P5 subjectively and Hellblade as best indie

Any other games you guys would have wanted to see up there or not see?

Observer and Echo robbed, but i can guess why

Also picks are quite dumb
No observer for audio design but mario?
Mario and wolf as best direction but wolf2 not in best music
mario has best music over sonic mania, edithfinch, observer, wolf, yakuza0 list goes on
Best performance are all right picks
No Nioh in best rpg but ffxv and southpark, not even respecting metacritic?
Prey is in best action game instead of best action adventure
And Monsterhunter in most anticipated ? wtf

They put NiOh in the action category, not sure why since it’s an ARPG but it’s nominated.

IGN drama is going nuts, and neomarxists are getting more uglier
This is what professional gaming journalist looks like

Had to point out that the alleged victim who Alanah is supporting now is someone who was bothered why in Darksiders horsemen are called horsemen or man when there is one lady and why not horsewoman
And he took a stab on his colleague with whom he settled her matters , chatlog of which is showed by Vince

Wow Neutral Is ign going to take action when one of their employees responds like this I wonder. Or is it ok to say that if you are not a male?
Edit: just asked a friend in HR about this. She said, Alanah’s response is not an HR issue but more a PR issue, if the guy she is responding to is not an employee of ign. So if ign is decent, the PR department will talk to her and tell her never to post anything like that again from her personal account. They would also appologize to the guy.

Ign HR itself was put on hold/hostage with boycott for one day without work which no company will allow imo and all journalists of industry are white knighting Alanah political clout(as you know they are hero right now), i know her agenda very well,few months ago had an argument with her to smoke her out as marxist, she was playing dumb and all, as of now there is no way to deal with it
You know what happened to Colin , he had to leave
Its only win situation if you are harassed
Hopefully this mindset wont corrupt Last night and Darksiders3

Blizzard of Overwatch loot boxes and Hearthstone rip-off decks?

Opencritic - 72/100
Metacritic - 75/100

Userscore is at .9 after 2000+ reviews

Meanwhile EA at potential market exploitation

“We find people play twice as many games, they spend twice as long on them, and they spend twice as much money, because you’ve reduced the cost of trial to close to zero.”

That’s what I was thinking. I did the math before, and if you want to get every card in a hearthstone expansion, it costs about $250. There are 3 expansions per year so that’s a crazy $750. Blizzard hypocrites should not preach to others about microtransactions.
