The age-old debate about easy modes has reared its ugly head again, this time due to conflicts in the streaming world. Should streamers get to play games on easier difficulties? Yes, obviously, but let’s validate our own opinions in a video! Also, Google Stadia gets a hot non-exclusive, and CaseyExplosion…
A week after buying it, Outriders is one of the very worst “live service” experiences I’ve ever played. The servers are so busted, the software so prone to crashing, and the gameplay so unworthy of the investment that I’m absolutely disgusted. While I understand not everybody has had my experience,…
Sony has basically given incentive for us to pirate every PlayStation game under the sun. With their decision to axe the storefronts of three systems and consign thousands of digital games to oblivion, the company has fully telegraphed its regard for entertainment software. Whether it’s PSP, PS Vita, or PS3,…
In our top segment today, Gilson B. Pontes tries to strike again. While he continues to fail, YouTube apparently allows perjury to occur again and again and again without consequence. Also, we share GameStop’s solemn words, and tear into billionaire scumball Bobby Kotick. Fun!
With his weirdly mysterious PlayStation exclusives, Gilson B. Pontes is a legend among aficionados of terrible videogames. Sadly, it turns out he’s just another bad dev with no tolerance for criticism. After publishing a video on Gilson’s latest mess, I received a copyright takedown strike. And another. And another. It…
This week, we take ourselves a look at NFTs, and how one game developer is using an already shady concept to insult videogame artists. Then there’s the case of the unfortunately named #EAGate, and FIFA’s latest scumbaggery. You want some more? Okay, well we’ve also got a response to the…
On today’s Jimquisition, we look at the latest nonsense from the world of live services, as Marvel’s Avengers is set to be more of a grind for no reason. On top of that, we’ve got a discussion on The Sinking City and legal issues surrounding both developer and publisher. What…
Anthem has finally been put out of its misery. BioWare’s Anthem will go down in history as a mighty example of how to fail at jumping on a bandwagon. Its development was rushed and poorly planned, its release was mediocre, and its subsequent slow death was almost pitiful. And what’s…
We have three big ol’ subjects for you today! After unlocking the secrets of Frog Purse, of course. After that, let’s talk about Google being horrible to its Stadia developers. As well as that, we’ll talk about the responses to Nintendo Direct and Blizzconline. We wrap things up with the…
People who use bots to buy up game consoles and resell them for a ridiculous markup are apparently sad that people hate them. This is funny, because they deserve to be hated. Let’s take a look at the way these opportunists portray themselves, and have some fun discussing why they’re…
Patenting game mechanics is bad. It’s bad. It’s simply bad. So is Google Stadia, and we’re going to talk about both Google’s failings and Warner Bros. Interactive’s patent hoarding. Google ceases Stadia game development, Shadow of Mordor’s Nemesis System becomes WB’s sole dominion, AND we get to take a look…
So there’s really only one thing to talk about this week, and that’s the whole mess that happened with GameStop and Wall Street. It’s pretty much a perfect look at the wider problems we regularly discuss. When the ultra wealthy find their positions challenged, they have little problem demonstrating that…
