A good read about Annapurna. This fills in a lot of the blanks.

Sounds like a weird company.

The word going around is that Concord didn't cost $100 million, or $200 million, but $400 million dollars.

Total gross: $0

Biggest gaming blunder of all time?

Actually, Star Citizen might come close due to the sheer amount of funding pissed away.

Star Citizen made somebody rich at least. I can't believe it's still going.

IGN gonna IGN

Man am I out of the loop. I didn't even know there was a new Dragon Age game.

two big releases this week

Silent Hill 2
Metaphor Refantazio

haha holy shit Skillup is never this negative. Bioware is dead.

Haven't they been kinda shit for a while now? I think Mass Effect 2 was the last game that was universally praised, and that was ~14 years ago.

yeah but I think this was supposed to be the last hope or return to form. After Andromeda and Anthem and now this, they might be toast.

Thats 1 review

Its 84 on metacritic right now (51 reviews)

There was some shenanigans going on with early review copies. Lots of people who normally get early access didn't this time around, probably because of some mild criticisms. Pretty weird. I expect that number to go down.

Apparently reviewers only got 13 days to play through the game and write their review before the embargo lifted (the normal time for a game of this size is about 3-4 weeks).

Reviews are all over the place.

From sites I trusts, it's good. And a return to form from Bioware.

What’s the heat check on Indiana Jones? It’s striking me as an Uncharted re-skin, and I was never too high on those games.

That. But in first person. I'm hopeful, but I'm waiting for reviews.

I’m sure I’ll give it the ol’ Gamepass try.

Final previews were a mixed bag.

It’s not very Uncharted from what I’ve seen. Very stealthy. I’m excited for it.
