Assuming it’s 768GiB, then it would be 824.6GB, not 832GB.

Probably, which means the developers (or managers) didn’t really identify the problem.

And GTA Vice City was originally planned as an expansion to GTA III, then turned into an independent game and released just a year after GTA III.

I think it suffered from being named after another game and a lot of people being confused or disappointed by it having nothing to do with Prey from 2006. It should have gotten a different name. I played it for the first time last year, can recommend.

I take this as a comparison sometimes. Also the PS2 got five GTAs, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories were released on PS2 too. The PS3 and Xbox 360 got two GTAs, and everything after got remasters. PS5 will probably get GTA 6, so GTA skipped the PS4/Xbox One generation.

Same. At least for me part of the problem is that I got a PS5 two years after release because I couldn’t get one, I’m not going to pay scalpers.

Is any of that an android feature? It’s mostly hardware, I think you can still get devices that have some combination of those (maybe not the IR blaser).

Well, obviously all of the demos, but probably not all the games and of the released games they will probably fire most of the developers.

A bit of market research showed that interest in Nintendo shifted slightly more towards boys. 55%‐45%.

Need a source on this. The more appropriate action in those days with those numbers would’ve been to sell a blue version to boys and a pink version to girls.

The first game wasn’t bad, but it didn’t really feel like a full price title.

I keep a list in a plain text file. It has sections for each year and one section for games I’m interested in. The list used to be on paper and I’m considering going back to that.

They are in almost all open world games.

I got Borderlands 3 about a year after release for less than 5€, I can wait.

The cookie law isn’t dumb, but at this point it should maybe be reformed. Basically as long as a website doesn’t do shady shit with cookies no cookie banner is required. Instead of complaining about the cookie banner law, people should complain about websites who sell their users’ data.

It’s stuff like chat control that make me hate the EU sometimes.

Yes, I can imagine that. Happens all the time

Let’s move the well known director to a new project and let someone completely unknown handle the sequels to an already established brand.

Anyway, how many people that had any actual say in the original Mass Effect still work at Bioware?

Well, someone’s paying half a billion in microtransactions in GTA Online every year.

Not to be confused with the german -fall game No Unfall.

Here, me. The Ciri parts were like someone shoved a linear action adventure into the open world RPG I wanted to play.

I would say that map size never was “most important”, at least not to the players, they’ve been complaining about huge but empty maps for years (the poster child of this, AC Odyssey was released in 2018, six years ago). It was just something devs and publishers pushed to one up each other in some kind of “bigger = better” way.
