  • I would never play it myself so I’m not sure how much this counts, but there’s something about Garten of Banban that keeps drawing me back to it whenever a new episode drops. I’m well aware it’s just some shitty bottom of the barrel reaction streamer/theory crafting bait and it’s mostly me wanting to see where the train wreck goes, but I think I’m enjoying it on an ironic level too.


  • As someone who’s into a lot of VR stuff, the biggest problem is that it’s still a niche market that requires the consumer to be spending a lot on extra hardware in order to play it. Obviously the majority of studios would rather invest in something more people can play and therefore buy, and at most will maybe add a VR mode to their first person game. I’ve found VR modes and mods for games not initially developed for that sort of hardware to be more engaging and have more substance than most of the ones specifically made for it (and is most of the VR games I play), but being able to play in VR does enhance the experience imo depending on the game.


  • Granted a lot of the failures with Anthem was thanks to corporate meddling, like EA forcing them to switch to an engine mid development that wasn’t equipped for the game they wanted to make as they insisted on using something in-house, and then forcing them to release it in an unfinished and buggy state. Iirc the devs even cared about the project too, but once again EA ruins something.

    I remember thinking it had some neat gameplay concepts from the footage I saw, it just needed more polishing.
