Names aren't the most important thing, but they count for a lot of initial appeal. Who would want to watch a movie called Pacific Air Flight 121?

If I see a list of games and one of them has a name like Airscape, it doesn't tell me much about what it is. Maybe I'll spend some time and google it... is it the energy-efficient natural cooling solution? A stainless steel kitchen canister? A french press? A progressive/trance musician? Okay fuck it I don't care about Airscape anymore-- I haven't even played it and it's already wasting my time.

Airscape sounds like the intro track of an easy listening album that's also titled Airscape.

 

[Salsa]

guys you need to watch this

you thought Apple was pretentious

wowowoowow

they straight up churching. speaking of this thing like its jesus

 

[derExperte]

They should just put on that Steve Jobs movie and call it a day. Maximum level of self-praise reached with zero effort.

 

[Sober]

its a shame that the guy making the article made a really bland looking super mario galaxy mobile looking thing

its more about standing out

im sure the game is competent, It just produces 0 desire to play it

he's onto something at the end of the article there maybe, but he made a clean lookin phyiscs 2d platformer with a mechanic from another big release that ends up as a gimmick many game have done already

cmon

It is kinda sad that everyone thinks they should throw their hat into the ring because of indie games. Feels like that bubble is gonna burst eventually, given the massive amounts of indie games you can find nowadays.

I went to PAX East this year and despite loving the indie mini/megabooth stuff I noticed an interesting trend. 2D platformers were basically out and the new wave looks like 2D beat-em-ups in the vein of Double Dragon, etc. There were a lot of them. I wonder how many of those will fall to the wayside.

It's like watching each successive generation of kids that grew up on specific games coming out of the woodwork to make an indie game inspired by that game they loved so much as a child. I don't know if this makes me a cynic but I wish the cycle would just stop but I'm sure it'll just keep going until the indie side of the industry becomes even more unsustainable.

[Freedom = $1.05]

i hate that there are people there defending spending $30 on content that devs don't even know what it is yet, or how much you'll get. Its like, you want my money but you don't even know what you're gonna make, like what?

I learned from the shitshow that was the Bioshock Infinite SP that it's better to just wait till it's all out and just get it for cheap then. Beside, Bethesda had major issues with their DLC back when they did it for FO3, rather just wait and see on what they end up doing.

but yeah $20 or less goty edition seems like the best bet really.

Indeed, like I sadi in the respective thread, they have no idea what it will contain but they have no problem saying outright that it's great value for the price ("just $30").

Nobody's forced to buy it of course but putting something on sale that at this point in time is literally nothing is ridiculous.
It's amazing that all it takes is saying "there's a season pass" for people to start throwing $30 at you. Just, wow.

Seriously? Steve Jobs is going to come back and kill someone.

 

[rtcn63]

They should do a Fallout 4 + Season Pass CE that's just the game disc and some Italian takeout.

 

[inm8num2]

Fallout 4 Season Pass is the biggest news in DLC since DLC.

Microsoft is on stage at the Apple even right now

I swear someone's about to Google search something on the big screen

I am the opposite. I kill nobody if possible. People who I don't need I let on the ground and when I have to get them away in Side-OPs eg I fulton them, even if they have EEEEEEE. Although I go savage on other players. There can only be one Big Boss and that is ME!

that's about what MGSV is rumored to cost though i believe that cost includes the development of the fox engine and Ground Zeroes, too.

But interesting that the two most beloved open world games this gen so far cost almost the same

I didn't notice until now that the Humble Store apparently pulled the Ubi build a bundle from sale yesterday. I honestly wonder if putting it up was a mistake or if it just didn't sell well.

"Here are mostly 75% off games, and if you buy 3 of them, they become 70% off" says it all, really.

 

[Sober]

Fallout 4 Season Pass is the biggest news in DLC since DLC.

I love people getting mad at DLC. Especially when the season pass outlines what's in it. And then people interpret it as "CUT CONTENT I HAVE TO PAY FOR".

But man FO4 not knowing what's in their season pass is just as bad. Do they just have no ideas left from production that they couldn't finish? Or that they're just lying straight through their teeth? (probably)

As far as I can tell it's not even a real Apple Surface, it's a bigger iPad with a few additional features but still using iOS.

They'll make more money than many countries.

iPad sales have been slowly declining over the past two years, not sure if this will change that and who exactly the target audience is.

 

[freshVeggie]

Nah. Surface is actually innovative in giving you all the x86 goodness with flexibility of a tablet.

iPad Pro is just a bigger iPad. That's it.

I think you're underselling it. It isn't just a bigger iPad. It's a bigger iPad from the people who invented pencils and magnets.

Haha. That pencil trailer had my eyes almost pop off thier sockets from rolling too much.

It's way past Onion levels of a joke.

'It's a pencil that you don't have to sharpen!'
That's what I would've lead with.

That's what I would've lead with.

"Never lose that pencil again, because a new one will cost you 100$.
You're welcome.

Apple: because we're fabulous and you want to gobble on our knob"

would have worked just as well.
