  • I’ve decided amongst this push to $80 games that even $70 is too rich for me. With very few exceptions, the only launch games I will allow myself to buy will be the $40-50 ones. Otherwise I will just wait until the $70+ ones that interest me to get there on their own. If i lose the urge to play them in the meantime, oh well. Money saved.

    There are just sooooo many great games out there at much better prices.




  • I couldn’t make it through the whole 2hr essay, but I can’t disagree with some of his criticisms of the game. It’s just that they never bothered me, and I found the AAish quality of the game really cozy.

    I completely agree with him about just how manufactured the “woke outrage” seemed to be, though. I just fundamentally believe “woke” lost its meaning some time ago and doesn’t really define anything anymore. It is really handy for letting mindless culture-warrior types flag themselves, though. I certainly doubt the IGN article was the ONLY article criticizing eve’s character design, but I think it served as a great example of just how far up their own asses the anti-woke crowd love to be.


  • Looking at the US PS store, atm Lies of P is on sale at $29.99, and this expansion goes for the same price, bringing the total to $59.98 if you buy them separately. This seems like the best option right now.

    If you are a plus member, the Overture bundle, which is the exact same thing but in a single purchase, is on sale for $60.29 (31 cents more). Otherwise it’s $89.99.

    For me personally, I’m interested in the game, but my time is split between so many other really great games at the moment that I don’t see myself really tempted into purchasing this until the bundle gets to something like a 50% discount.
