Thanks for the great work on this newsletter Lucy and team!
I have a user question for you:)
Do you believe in any video game industry conspiracy theories? For example, I think sometimes developers intentionally sabotage games so that they’ll perform poorly, such as Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Once I saw the “UI is my passion” screenshots, I was convinced someone at Rocksteady wanted to send the message that live service games were not a good idea.
Hey Friends, long time user of the best and favorite podcast here! First time asking a question:
Obviously you play a lot of games not only in your personal time, but also for your work. If you have a favorite/prefered ganre of games, has that preference changed over the years, to something completely different? Or has it not changed at all. For example I really played a lot of the old Need for Speed games, but nowadays I have absolutely no interest in any game similar to that ganre at all. Now it's more about story rich RPGs.
Jake joining letterboxd made me think of this question, if you had “4 favorites” but for video games, what would they be? Ralph you can’t put outer wilds 4 times.
I think mine would be Cyberpunk 2077 The last of us part 2 Elden Ring and Destiny 2 lol
I've had Hi-Fi Rush sat in my library waiting to be played since release, finally got around to playing it and it was easily my favourite game of the holidays!
Really appreciate the videos calling out when publishers let down studios and consumers, like with Microsoft and Tango, I only hope we get a year where these stories aren't so common.
Oh and Lucy! I'm a big Sims fan too and also fan of interior design! There's some really great accounts on twitter that I've been digging for inspo. I like @Arthetic and @interiorsuckerr a lot!
Ralph, I had a very similar experience with POE 2 regarding the loot problems, so you are not alone and it's apparently a big issue in the POE 2 community right now that they've been raising with GGG.
User question (not sure if covered previously): where do you stand on replaying games? Do you have certain games you periodically replay, or (like me) do you avoid replaying games because of the feeling of wanting to be trying the next game?
