    Is it a game about a Nintendo employee?

    I don't know how to feel about Catherine on Steam being the "old" version, when the enhanced one with a new character, story etc drops in a month

    True, but it is only $20.

    for an 8 year old game. And the release coinciding with the newer version feels like an extra cash grab with minimum effort. Eh. Eh, I say!

    No no no, you're thinking of The Uncle Who Works For Nintendo

    I prefer My Father's Long, Long Legs, personally, but it's very good

    AFAIK Catherine: Full Body isn't even out in Japan yet and doesn't have a western release date other than "we're pretty sure it's coming out here" and a PC release hasn't been announced at all for any region.
    This is weird but makes more sense in that context, I suppose.

    Another free game. Looks like a Bomberman clone.

    Sorry what is the context for these tweets?

    Was destiny 2 that much of a flop?

    That guy is being pretty irresponsible in how he spreads that Not News Yet.

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
    Jason Schreier is a journalist, presumably he's getting messages from contacts in Bungie that something is happening. Has the atmosphere of a studio closure but maybe "good news" is actually good news.

    Microsoft is buying them to get them back on halo.

    Tune in for more baseless conjecture from Karl

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular
    alright, that's better than a studio closure. I bet that was initiated by Actiblizzard, they seem like they're tightening their belts there currently.

  • el_vicioel_vicio Registered User regular
    Yeah, good move for Bungie for sure

    I don't think Blizzard exists as a distinct company. Above the studio staff level there is only Activision-Blizzard.

    they've pulled some early 2000s level EA level greedy bullshit in the past couple years, and the proliferation of loot boxes/mundane grindiness of blizzard games in the last few years can be placed pretty squarely at activisions feet

    It's convenient to use the non-Blizzard half of the company as a scapegoat but is there any evidence that's how it happened?

    I hope this works out for Bungie; what I played of Destiny 2 I generally enjoyed (until the grind sucked all the fun out of the game)

    My from the hip, possibly outdated opinion on this is that it's bad for Activision because their stock was historically flat due to their overreliance on a few core IPs. I have no idea if this is out of date though, I haven't been following them.

    Bungie gets bought by Take-two interactive who hold the rights to the Myth series. Bungie makes Myth 4.

    I hear Bungie was invested into recently by Netease, so that's probably where their funding is coming from now.

    Curious if Xbox is gonna whip out the new checkbook they got. It'd be weird to see Bungie go back to MS, but if Obsidian is okay with it, who knows.

    Edit: For the marketing stuff. Bungie probably isn't in the mood to get bought for the forseeable future.

    I soured a bit on Catherine in hindsight (if you played it, you can probably guess why), but it's otherwise a pretty well-regarded game

    Yeah I want to hear exactly how the new additions work, and if certain parts of the story have been re-worked at all before recommending it to anyone.

    Because while the puzzles were cool and the story was, in a lot of ways, very cool, the stuff that was (in hindsight) not cool was very not cool.

    probably one of nicest, sweetest people I met online recommended this game to me because of its trans representation

    which goes to show you how easy it is to overlook common bigotries, no matter how aware you are of them (I don't hold it against him, or anything, there was literally zero malice - he just had a bad impression)

    There's been a good article about it on Kotaku afair, written by Schreier

    I get the bad feeling they're going to start squeezing the Overwatch team for more money to try to make up for it. I mean I guess should stop playing so much Overwatch anyway, but still
