Remedy and the rest of the gaming industry:
 

......then...push the game back until it's playable without a patch??????

Xbox buying Sega would have made more sense back during the OG Xbox days but now?  Despite me feeling that Sony would still be in a good position and that they'd just need to bolster their own 1st party with IP's to combat CoD...M$ swinging their money dick around has always been a looming threat ever since they came into the industry.  They've always been keeping themselves shackled and trying to "play by the rules" but clearly they're tired of playing the game.  Looking at some of the stories that have been coming out of this clearly shows that if they don't get checked at some point that they could just buy up most of the major 3rd parties and then try to suffocate the competition without actually "building" their portfolio.  If they had continued to buy up the smaller 3rd parties they could have continued skirting on buy for a least a time but they had to try to latch on to a big fish now and ended up drawing everyone's attention.  There's probably a big chance that if (and potentially when) this deal goes through that they won't be able to buy anything for a long ass time.
 
 
 

Man I can't wait for the dumbass people not being able sit down comfortably or be touched by anyone because...????? 
"OOOO...AHH...AAAUGH...I SURE AHH...SHOWED THEM!"  ~ The fucking idiot says as they struggle to change their clothes.

Rumors have been hitting for some time that the game has been in development hell.  This lines up with the rumors.  Super Unfortunate.
 
And then that's on top of people working on the game labeling the game "AAAA" which I had forgotten about and probably rolled my eyes the same way when I heard it the first time.  Sounds like they need to scaleback the ambition a bit since they're having trouble but they prob won't.  Its ok, I'm sure it won't be "Wha Happun?" fodder years from now.

Man playing MGS again has got me thinking about MG1 and 2 and how they're desperately screaming to be remade rather than Snake Eater. Each game in the MGS series has theme it explores, "GENE", "MEME", "SCENE" and so on and for MG1 and 2 I think their respective theming could, or should?, be INHERITANCE and ACCEPTANCE both of which are woven between each other. 
 
I think you could play off Metal Gear 1 as test for Snake by the real Big Boss, Big Boss sending his two best in Snake and Fox, if they can bring down Venom and stop Metal Gear, has Venom really inherited the will of Big Boss, and by proxy The Boss? Could Fox or Snake be trusted to inherit The Boss' will too? We know by the end Fox does as he states in MG2 that he shares Big Boss' ideology. Can Venom truly live up to what he inherited from Big Boss? Or has learning the truth skewed his mind? Living with the fact that he is now not just a medic in Outer Heaven, but as someone who is both living in the shadow and who is the shadow of Big Boss. I think you could play on the more emotional side of a rookie Solid Snake, not as green as goose shit Meryl but still having to swallow his emotions when killing a soldier across from him and maybe his guilt from maybe being too late for some POWs. Can a rookie really inherit a "legendary" status, even when killing a ""legend""?
 
MG2 starts with Snake being brought out retirement for the first time and if we play on what we're told in MGS he's the legendary hero that killed Big Boss in Outer Heaven. While everyone accepts him as a hero, he (Snake) cannot and only accepts what he truly is "I'm just a man who's good at what he does. Killing." and "I'm no hero, never was, never will be. I'm just an old killer hired to do some wet work." Even though Snake knows betrayal is a part of his job, can he accept that Fox has defected? That Big Boss is in fact still alive? and technically his father? Snake is pretty cynical about the status as a hero or a legend in MGS and he's always looking for answers when suspecting foul play, constantly yelling at Campbell for answers as they both know Campbell isn't telling the whole truth, and he's ready to accept that he's being bullshitted too a lot in the MGS series, but in the Metal Gear 2 you could really play in to that. Snake just accepting that he's nothing more than a hand that points a gun, a puppet being controlled from every side and that even killing loved ones is just a job at the end of the day. 
 
I dunno I'm kinda high and it might be a bit rambly but it's something I think about whenever MGS re-emerges into my life.

You choose NOW to come back?!  It was just starting to get peaceful around here...
 
Everyone please set your guns to 'snitch'.
 
Bullshit tolerance at an all-time low at the moment.

“New York City is nothing without pizza!”

Christ's birthday was never stated in the Bible nor taught by his apostles, it was chosen by the church to be celebrated on Dec 25. They chose to retire their own winter winter solstice and replace it as a day to remember Christ's birth. That isn't copying.  Get it right and be thankful that it is just I who saw this because if it was HE who saw this academically fallacious post of yours, you'd be laying in your own blood.  

I love DMC, so that sounds nice to me.  I'll be waiting on a PC port, so it will be a while regardless. 

Nothing spells "bitchmade" more than being a grown man and have your mom still keep you from doing stuff

16 is Final Fantasy wearing DMC clothes. I've been treating it as DMC than a final fantasy game.
 
Cinematic clashes are ass. I hate having my gameplay interrupted for a cutscene. Even worse when it's a QTE.

Final Fantasy 16 is straight up action game. So if that's your bag then, you should be fine. I enjoy the narrative, I do like action games, so FF16 has been an enjoyable experience for me. To call it an RPG is stretch for me. I'm 76% through the game accord to PSN. I don't think I'll finish by Thursday though. So I may try to get some SF6 in the next a couple of days. My only real issue with the game is the length of the Eikon battles. They drag on WAY too long in my opinion.

My friends in Highschool played a lot of After the Bomb, which was the post apocalyptic setting.  It was enough of it's own thing that Palladium managed to continue publishing for it even after they lost the TMNT license.
