If they replace the god-awful voice acting in Shenmue, then the game is worthless.

Not really. This was going to eventually happen due to gaming companies abusing the loot box system and its predecessor micro-transaction system on mobile platforms for years.
EA just spend up things by trying to go to the next step with Battlefront II. Even if they didn't, Valve was going to cause it to happen due to their own recent gambling scandal with CS:GO. What also hurt them was more studies have started to establish ties between loot boxes and gambling in regards to addiction similarities. |

I suppose its a form of gambling, but not necessarily on the level of actual casino level gambling based on the simple fact that you're guaranteed to get SOMETHING for your money.
That being said, loot boxes are very much guilty of playing the to pride of the individual who lands something rare. Buying cosmetics are cool, but the randomness of the boxes and getting something rare definitely boosts ones ego. |

The 'studies' are social science bullshit, the same type of studies that tried to say games can cause sexism/racism/violence.
These things are products and the loot box situation should have been a convo between gamers and publishers. It is beyond why you thing setting precedent that govt can legislate in-game content given every past attempt ever. Particularly somebody who follows the industry. Not two months ago Trump was putting a mass shooting onto the game industry, and here we are welcoming govt regulation like these subject will never intertwine ever. And why? Cause some 'thing' takes too long to grind for. |

I worked on the Man Mo temple/ the area surrounding it and Guilin Forest. Unfortunately SEGA are quite shitty with my NDA untill release, got lots to say though . Highlight was probably getting to knock heads with some of the Yazuka team which was neat. Tell you what though... This past year has been quite surreal! I used to watch Gametrailers now Easy Allies and having somebody you watch a few times a week keep expressing their want for something you know about but can't talk about is strange. |

I doubt they're going to. Kingdom Hearts remasters came out for PS3, then they remastered them for PS4 in the 1.5 & 2.5 double pack over a year ago, then remastered the 3DS game and added some other stuff in Kingdom Hearts 2.8 and they've done nothing for XBox.

Rockstar have removed a ton of songs from the Grand Theft Auto IV soundtrack, most of them from fictional in-game radio station Vladivostok FM. Apparently, the songs removed were only licensed for 10 years, and the game release 10 years ago today (4/29/2008) and they want to not have to pay royalties. The removed songs were all replaced with new ones via a patch/update.

Want to pre-order (via PS Store) RDR II, but worried about how much storage space I'll need free to install and have saves if Borderlands 3 releases next year...don't want it (RDR II) to be some massive game that I end up having to delete to make room for BL3 when it drops.

A good ways into God of War, and I can safely say it has been overhyped by game journalists. It is not the life changing, industry redefining experience they are making it out to be.
BUT, it is not overrated. This is a very, very, VERY good video game. Good enough that I feel confident saying nothing else this year will top it, and it has essentially clinched GOTY. |
