I’ll be quite honest with my opinion and probably piss off a lot of gamers and my fellow partners in work. So far the Electronic Entertainment Expo has failed to impress me, in fact. It’s been rather mediocre when it comes to the Press Conferences themselves, yes I have gotten my long awaited release date for Cuphead, and the Xbox One X has been unveiled for the public eye. However, saying that I like what I’ve got so far is a bold faced lie, especially considering how much Bethesda liked stroking their ego’s to death with their “Totally not ripping off Nintendo Direct for our press conference” stunt.

EXCLUSIVE GEEKREPLY COVERAGE OF EVENT

But hey, maybe I’m simply not falling into the hype, like I suggested before for the many people that probably did already. However, I’m glad to say that one of the people who didn’t even get a single bit of time for a press conference did an E3 Press conference anyway, and that was Devolver Digital. Who launched a Youtube video that basically mocked every single bit of these E3 Press Conferences so far, broken english and everything!

I mean, it’s just paradise for myself to see the overplayed trailers that didn’t really show anything (Not even a new IP). How they went through a catalogue of games that they already made public (Which still doesn’t make sense to me. What’s the point of having an E3 conference with these “big reveals” if they are already given ahead of time? Well done Bethesda!). And the impressive one off gags that are spread across the 15 minute video that makes for the entire press conference. To a very innovative way to do microtransactions with a very “Hand ripping” experience!

Of course, not everything would be complete without some bull-Sorry, silly implementation with Devolver Digital’s EARLIEST ACCESS, a scheme that plans on rushing out games as fast as possible so consumers eat that shit up instantly. Personally, I think it’s a very negative change from what we’ve seen in the industry next to having people throw money to a tablet and expecting it to instantly grow crops in Harvest Moon for the Chintendo 4DS. With the new strategy, Devolver basically plans to give you games you can buy right at the MICROSECOND  they are thought out, you can easily pay your 60 dollars and buy a game before it’s even planned for development. It screams bad news for WiiU users of course, since their online capabilities aren’t that grand after all.

To provide a statement (And make me die of laughter) regarding how incredible the marketing strategy is, Japanese creator Suda51 decided to step in and provide a very insightful piece of knowledge about how incredible Devolver’s Earliest Access program is. Well, with no much else to say, Devolver Digital’s E3 press conference is pretty much the conference every gamer in existance can get pretty excited for, with amazing visuals. you can easily buy into the hype and spend all your money in games. I rate it a 139/200. #Shutup

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

Fans of Final Fantasy 16 disagree as new debate over the squeeze gap begins

Fans of Final Fantasy have been disputing for decades over a variety of topics, such as whether game VIII is the finest or which one contains the best minigames. But something fresh has the community in a tizzy, and this time it’s a 19-second trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI that’s energizing fans along with the reappearance of certain well-worn and recognizable talking points.

If it weren’t for the fissure that protagonist Clive skillfully navigates in the video, this narrative might have been about Torgal, a great canine companion. That’s right, we have returned to the discussion of the Squeeze Gap, the most heinous error in game design (in the eyes of some fans).

Others pointed out that you can see through the gap that this is an intentional design choice and does not, in fact, hide a loading screen. In the colorful comments section of the aforementioned Tweet, some people complained about the inclusion of yet another Squeeze Gap on current-gen PCs.If you have nothing better to do, follow us down the rabbit hole of quote-retweets.

Sincerity be damned, we don’t really care either way, but it is odd for Square Enix to release an official promo for a highly anticipated game that shows half of a character squirming through a small space.As always, the music is spot on; praise where praise is due. On June 22, Final Fantasy XVI will debut for PlayStation 5.

What do you think of the squeeze gaps generally and the squeezegate incident specifically?

In order to decide which publisher published the best games, Metacritic calculates ratings for all the games that were released in the previous calendar year. The website that collects review ratings for all popular media has done the math, and Sony Interactive Entertainment came out on top for 2022.

Yes, Sony’s first-party initiatives from the previous year allowed it to “no issue” claim the top spot on Metacritic’s list.  The 2022 release schedule for the platform holder averaged 85.6 points overall, with all of its PC ports scoring in the website’s “green score” range.

The business did indeed have a successful year in 2017. We had a fantastic trio of original games: God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, and Horizon Forbidden West, all of which were of very high caliber. But in addition to that, the firm also launched The Last of Us: Part I and a number of PC ports, including God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Uncharted: The Legacy of Thieves Collection, all of which received positive reviews from critics. MLB The Show 22 had the lowest metascore of any Sony game last year, according to Metacritic, but it still earned a respectable 77.

According to Metacritic, these are the top 10 publishers for 2022:

  1. Sony Interactive Entertainment
  2. Paradox Interactive
  3. Activision Blizzard
  4. Focus Entertainment
  5. Take-Two Interactive
  6. Capcom
  7. SEGA
  8. Annapurna Interactive
  9. Humble Games
  10. Devolver Digital
