Allegedly another company has licensed the designs forom Microsoft and we’re supposed to start offering them later this year… Although there isn’t exactly much runway left this year and the only articles talk about the announcement so in January so who knows.

I’m gonna assume that this is because they are Microsoft now. They use a ton contractors on everything these days instead of actual employees but the catch is contractor can only stay there for 18 months and then have to leave or get hired so any experience on the project gets thrown away. Moving to unreal allows them to bring on a wider group of dev contractors so hopefully the ramp up isn’t as long. This is just a theory but the same thing happened to Halo since that’s moving to unreal to. If they just retained actual talent this wouldn’t be a problem and the games wouldnt suck as much even if engine was less advanced.

How about Respawn work on another Titanfall and ‘finish’ a trilogy in a series that isn’t totally overdone.

I was just in Dublin and saw Guinness 0.0 in a bunch of places. Things are definitely shifting if that can exist in Ireland.

I resentfully hung on to it after the take over but soon as a the icon changed from the bird on my phone I just couldn’t and uninstalled it.

That’s my problem too. Weird Twitter just doesn’t seem to be a thing on mastodon , or if it is the lack of an algorithm makes it hard to find the right kind of accounts to follow

Yes! I still need to finish the DLC but I loved this game so much.

Ogre Battle 64 is mine. The n64 wasn’t exactly known for rpgs but this had so many characters, a ton of depth and an intense story that I wish it was brought up more. This was my intro to a tactical rpgs and I felt like I went right into the deep end.

Just incase you run across it, avoid Ultraloq. It seemed like a good deal with wifi, fingerprint read and keypad but after living with it I’m pretty frustrated. The reader stopped working after a couple months and the deadbolt motor isn’t strong enough to open if there is any friction with the door jamb. Apparently these problems aren’t unique to me so anything else posted here is a better choice.
