      I was thinking about how I haven’t seen that term used in gaming journalism for quite some time.

        in gaming journalism

        Wow, you don’t read much news I’m guessing. Any and all news publications love to use it as a ‘catch-all’ term for, “he showed them what for!”

        It’s a bogus word describing action that the news can’t otherwise report, because calling it ‘verbal slaughter’ triggers people.

        If modern journalism had any integrity left, they’d call Trump what he is: a wannabe Hitlerian dictator.

        Any publication that tries to curb that, is likely in bed with the money piles the network was given by the accused.

        There’s not a single goddamn person on the planet that doesn’t have some sort of bias, that’s journalism 101.

    New vegas had tons of crunch to make the whole game in like 10 months (a year and a half, thanks commenter) because Bethesda. I trust he knows what he’s talking about

    Edit: my timeline was way wrong but my point still stands that obsidian was crunched due to Bethesda deadlines

      Bethesda gave obsidian 16 hours to make a fallout game and they made the best fallout game.

    Games ALSO take longer to release than ever before.

    Maybe…just MAYBE games are too big and complicated for their own good anymore.

    Doing a small thing very well is far more impressive than a giant “we need all the standard AAA bullshit no matter what” soup.

      There is no way it takes 11 years for a GTA game to be made. Hire more staff, Rockstar especially can afford it.

    This looks like powerful orbs generating evil energy vibrations using quantum mechanics. Learn GNU Octave mathematical logic structures to protect yourself against them. Even a simple triangle is enough against a SLAM!

    We can choose a sci fi world to live in today. Our world is literally like Skibidi Toilet right now.
