I think what sem is talking about is that Bungie first made “Marathon” in 1994. The new game is a pretty much unrelated game, reusing the name.

Yup, and the price of the Xbox Ally is ridiculous, as expected!

Openness is great, but there’s no financial reason to make specialized hardware to operate an open platform.

Historically, consoles have been sold near cost, and profits have been made on game sales after the fact. If you can just buy your games from Steam on console, the price of the console will go up. At some point, it no longer makes sense to buy the specialized hardware.

But we’ll get to see how that goes! It’s looking more and more like the next Xbox is going to run Windows.

Given the state of that trailer, its a shame it’s anywhere. We hate to see an IP being milked so hard.

Yes, I’m also surprised it’s so low, if only because during sales you can get like 3-5 older indie games for $15. Those games are often shorter and have more controlled scope as well, meaning more folks would actually have time to play them.

On the other hand, it means folks are only buying games they’ll actually play, which is good.

My understanding is that they offer them all, but publishers havent been able to reliably get 8 or 16gb cards. Whether thats Nintendo being shady or some legitimate supply issue, I don’t know.

The 6800XT has sold above its MSRP its entire lifecycle, and has been really hard to find the last year or so. When I’ve seen it recently, its been $700-900. Unfortunately, it really is just that good.

A nice write-up!

Yikes that’s almost as bad.

When you’re supposed to choose between siding with the Mages and Templar, it tells you to go back to the war room, which I assume should activate some kind of cutscene…but nothing happens. You just get to choose more missions on the map. I can’t tell how far back it bugged out, even if I go back to before starting that questline, I get the same issue.

From the steam forums, it seems like this has been a known bug since at least the original steam release :/

I was playing through Inquisition for the first time earlier this year, and 30h in the main questline broke, and I cant proceed…a real bummer.

Technically changed two letters. Thats what makes them innovator auteur geniuses.
