Guess i'm not missing anything then.

Bethesda did not give out any pre-launch media keys.  They didn't want day 1 reviews.

But i completely understand wanting a review with the way games have been releasing.

(10-04-2024, 10:55 AM)Stewy Wrote: I just contrast this to the DA: V marketing, which is putting tons of information out there. Media keys have been out for weeks already.  Reviews are already ready to go on launch day.  They believe in their product and want as much (too many spoilers apparently, but I haven't been listening to details) info. out as possible.  The difference could not be more striking.

I wonder when Bethesda continuing to produce trash, will finally do them in.

DA: V looks horrible to me the more they show the less interested i am    (but for Biowares sake i hope it sells very well)

(10-07-2024, 07:49 PM)Stewy Wrote: Tough to argue the math of 5 hours of content for 30 dollars of more of the same ole same ole.  And it isn't just Matty.  It's pretty much ubiquitous.  BGS is now shyt.  The spiral has begun.

I am glad that you enjoy it though.  It's not my place to steal a mans joy.

In other news.. Alien Isolation Sequel has been officially announced.

I would say an 8 year old could probably play this and get stuck sometimes, some of the tougher optional challenges a teenager would do.

Pokémon, Mario, Zelda are all examples of games that were challenging as a kid but comparatively easy as an adult. Thankfully the devs usually add other mechanics or challenges for the adult crowd. I just picked up Zelda and while I'm enjoying the return to 2D, I hope they added in some tricky aspects as the game goes on.
