It's the same thing with Battlefield V - they marketed it as historically accurate and yet they had some woman with a robotic arm fighting in WW2. Totally unrealistic.

Luckily, I always carefully checked out everything because it was a game published by EA so that's never happened to me but that's typical EA for you...

And the worrying thing is a lot of gaming companies love deceiving/misleading their fans and when they face backlash, the act like they're victims instead of owning up to their scummy actions.

Agreed, I just hope that some regulating body interferes because it's bad for the industry if just a few companies own all the gaming studios. The lack of competition will lead to the lack of innovation in games.

I agree - when I encounter animals, unless they approach me, I tend to leave them alone. I couldn't imagine using animals as test subjects for anything and just seeing them cry out in pain.

True - their team is very good at marketing but at the end of the day, the game is still very mediocre.

Yeah, That's why I stopped play Apex Legends - it was due of the lootboxes. I knew EA would screw it up one way or another...

That's pretty wild - I always thought that some of the rants sounded like things I tend to hear on some of the radio shows in the US.

Personally, it depends on the type of game and if they're marketing it as historically accurate. For instance, if a company says the game is based on an actual event in history and we have objects like modern day cellphones in-game, I'll be turned off because the publishers deceived me. However, if it was a what-if scenario or fantasy, I couldn't care less what they want to do as long as it makes sense in the context of that gaming world.

I agree - Warframe has and always has been nothing special. Just a bunch of new armor released every week for cash. Either that or you have to play the game for years before you can earn some of them.

You're very much correct as animals have feelings and are sentient. Can't they carry out their experiments on themselves if they need a test subject?

I even commented the other day that I'm starting to sound like how old people used to be back in the days. The fact that I'm starting to sound like my parents confirms to me that I'm also a dinosaur.

I remember Chrono Trigger - haven't played it in ages though. You still play it?

I also think the sizes of the companies Microsoft and Sony acquired gets more press because of the amount of money involved as well. Microsoft's deal for Activision is a record breaker in this industry.

I have been to a gaming convention in Florida but it was about 10 years ago or more.

COD has always had a toxic community so that's nothing new but so does Battlefield. COD Modern Warfare and MW2 back in the days sounded something like this:

Sheogorath's Wabbajack from Skyrim - it has a whole bunch of random abilities including turning your opponent into a chicken. Truly a weapon fitting of the Mad God.

I have no words to say when I see this scene - absolutely amazing!

Housewives of Atlanta is one of those "reality" tv shows with lots of drama - I definitely don't watch those as it's boring.
