As part of that announcement itself:

With this consolidation of our Bethesda studio teams, so that we can invest more deeply in our portfolio of games and new IP, a small number of roles across select Bethesda publishing and corporate teams will also be eliminated.

I don't know how big a deal that is compared to the rest.

Yeah you gotta make sure all that money goes to Bethesda proper, so they can put more work into the game that was so underwhelming that the big modders stopped working on it because it was too boring to bother.
I'm pretty sure Bethesda just got more layoffs in the midst of all this. I'll see if I can find that again.

What part of that disputes what I said?

Although I will note it is a ToS violation to use a foreign PSN account in all cases. They usually won't ban you for it, though. They'll typically just use it as an excuse to not provide support.

What does this mean? I have a Japanese PSN account on my PS5 with no issues.
I'm not talking about the PS5. No one has been talking about the PS5 this whole time.

People need to stop complaining about gears and gambits and start complaining about the photo take sidequest in cosmo canyon. Its impossible to line these things up
Odd question, but have you tried moving?

I'll agree the camera sensitivity for photos is pretty bad, but also there is no benefit past 80%.

Most people living in Eastern Europe and Southeast asia just have japanese or european psn accounts because this is a known issue.. Steam delisting the game in those regions was really where things broke down.

You couldn't, and still can't, link an out of region PSN account without a VPN, which goes against Sony's ToS and was resulting in (presumably automated) bans when detected.

I really don't think the reviews or refunds had anything to do with it. Someone there figured they could actually get in trouble for fraud or something and decided they had to let it go.

Companies willingly take hits on lawsuits all the time because they figure it will be more beneficial than avoiding it in the first place. And really, the refunds and the delistings actually would more or less shield them from that if that was the concern.

I have no clue why people are even considering this the worst case in the series.
For me a lot of it is that this could very well be the last time we see these characters, particularly Maya, and it's wasted on this.

You know how people said Starfield felt like cult deprogramming for Bethesda games? That's how I feel about this case for Ace Attorney.

Glad to see the review bombing is paying off

Steam is issuing refunds to people over the 2 hour limit. So it is paying off in a very literal sense.

One, Steam is not officially available in China. People who live there are required to use Steam China, which Helldivers 2 is not available on. Every Chinese person playing the game was already breaking local law.

Two, Sony doesn't ban people for making a PSN account in another country.

It was an issue of linking the accounts that required a VPN.

But it doesn't matter anyway. They just delisted the game and remove service from ALL effected countries. So no, getting a PSN account in another country is officially not a fix.

The 'outrage' around this is pretty silly, considering how tiny a percentage of players are in markets without PSN (especially since you can make a PSN in other countries, which people like Shuhei Yoshida have encouraged doing), and how the game was announced to require a PSN account from the start, only to disable it due to server issues. Most of the review bombing is from people this won't affect who'll just make an account and move on.

One, China is not a tiny percentage.

Two, that solution both requires a VPN and is a violation of Sony's own ToS, which will result in a ban if caught.

Haha I'm going to launch a nuclear fucking attack

You know a mini game sucks when I resort to a YouTube video and copy it second for second and I still don't win it

Gears and Gambits is fucking vile

I'm pretty sure there are some very dumb strats used in some of the top Youtube results for both Gears and Gambits and Fort Condor.

6-3: 9/10

6-4: 7/10

I think this one takes a bit too much flack for being a late game case that isn't main plot. I won't say that shouldn't be a factor at all but it's a decent case otherwise.

It is funny though because everything about it seems outright hostile to localization more than it ever has before.

That's cool. Too bad it's only the PC version and not, say, any of the portable console releases.

Too bad the portable consoles lost support so they never got Repentance.

E2-1is really long but it goes places. This on the other hand has the depth of a classic intro with E2-1length. It's not terrible otherwise but man it needed to stop so much sooner.

AFAIK we've never heard anything like this, but I can't help but feel that at some point in the writing process they were just going to have Gumshoe be in the detective role. Whether it was when they came up with the Phantom or we'll after, they chickened out.

I say that because for some supposedly amazing detective Fulbright feels like someone aping a "more competent" Gumshoe most of the time. I genuinely did not understand why they gave us this character until the twist.

The only reason this caps at 9 though is it ending with him getting sniped and no one really caring about the people that did that. I considered giving it an 8.9 as a sort of symbolic gesture but it is a pretty worthy finale all in all.

You're aware that you don't drive Rocket League cars like a car, right?

This might explain some drivers I run into in the suburbs around here

Yeah, I definitely meant that Rocket League is a traffic simulator, and not that there is a preexisting term for that style of game without the rocket cars.

wgz is the one who said that, go get confused at him.

I'm the one saying that Remake is actually good, and doesn't need a Rocket League mode to have variety.

I'm up to Costa del Sol and none of the mini-games have been bad. The only thing I've really disliked was Cactuar pics. I looked up the one that ended up being on the fire hydrant. That's not technically a mini-game though, I guess?
