Gonna cop Ratchet & Clank and Star Wars after work.

 

Everyone go get Dark Souls 3 and then come talk about your journey in the DS3 thread. Good times for all.

 

I think I've gone to pick up Bravely Second on the wrong day four times now. Lol

 

Dark Souls and Ratchet & Clank today...goddamn. Both look stellar.

 

Heh, one benefit of perpetually being a year or two behind with new games I suppose. I never attempt to buy something before it's out.

 

All these new games coming out and I'm still playing The Division. Anybody going to try out the Incursion later on tonight?

 

I want to but I want to save money.

I'm torn.

 

Soon as I get off work I'll be playing Ratchet and Clank.

I also picked up Stories: Path of Destinies.

 

Didn't realize Stories had released, let me know what you think.

 

Wasn't aware of the controversy over the transgender character in the new Baldur's Gate expansion until I listened to the beastcast.

Funny that the complaints of a character being shoe-horned in is always targeted at a minority. As if white central character with zero background is above reproach.

 

Level 31 in KH UX.

Really close to getting Tyrande and Li-Ming at level 10 in HOTS now.

 

I will not be purchasing any games that Rockstar develop from here on out now.

 

???

 

Lawsuit thing with the guy that went on Sabbatical?

 

Yeah, but apparently he was the thing that held the ship together and there's this:

Take-Two and Rockstar responded by making scurrilous allegations, a revenge tactic they had used before with other respected employees, this time deploying it against Mr. Benzies in an attempt to concoct false grounds for termination for Cause and to intimidate him into not pursuing his royalty claims," the suit claims. "Take-Two and Rockstar threatened to use these false charges against Mr. Benzies if he continued to assert his rights. This was a shocking development given that Sam Houser himself had orchestrated and encouraged a company culture involving strip clubs, personal photography of employees in sexually compromising positions, and other conduct grossly in violation of standard workplace norms."

 

Here: Former Rockstar North head sues company for $150M in unpaid royalties (update)

 

where's that from?

 

oh did this just break?

 

Yeah that's pretty fucking disgusting.

 

Grand Theft Auto devs planned to leave Take-Two

 

Houser's dun goofed..

gonna be a lengthy suit

 

That shouldn't be very surprising given the nature of the game. Gotta know the culture of what you are creating, guys.

 

This was my thoughts too, but didn't know how to word it.

 

For the record, that is not how I feel about the production. lol. I can't stand those games at this point, partly because of that stuff.

 

Yeah, i've never played a GTA game but it doesn't surprise me that they would partake in such things considering the games do as well. No big loss for me gaming wise, although I was hoping for another Red Dead, but i'm okay without it after all this.
