The quality of the game isn’t why The Crew makes a good target. It’s because it’s made by Ubisoft, which is based in France. And France has some pretty strict consumer protection laws. Were this, say, EA, which is based in the US, the lawsuit would be a non-starter. In adddition to that, France is a part of EU, which means Ubisoft has to comply with EU law in addition to the aforementioned French laws. So if this goes through, they will have to fight this on at least two fronts. The Crew is also a singleplayer game with an online component, which shouldn’t be necessary for the game to function, but here we are.

So to sum up: the lawsuit is not because people are super passionate for The Crew (though some probably are), but because if you’re going to make an example of a game, your best shot is suing a company which is located in a country with good customer protection laws. The Crew just happened to fit that bill.

I started playing the first Nioh. Send help.

I know, I would love to see more games using that style! Then again, I completely understand that it might be easier for some devs to use skeletal animation on voxel models instead of making a static voxel model for every frame of animation.

I loved Picross 3D 2 (or Round 2 or whatever it was called) on the 3DS! As you surmised, it’s not what I’m looking for, but I’ll try to snag it the first chance I get. Thanks!

It definitely qualifies! Alas, I’ve already played it. It still astounds me that the game wasn’t ported to other platforms, it was good!

Much appreciated nonetheless. And yes, that’s precisely what I’m looking for.

Not surprising. Either this was their long game or MS is in crisis mode, because lately they haven’t been doing so hot.

That’s a good one. True enough, Splatoon doesn’t go boom, it goes splat.

Nope, that goes boom, too.

Okay, then riddle me this: which shooter DOESN’T go boom?

Raging against new slang is just gonna make us more out of touch, and intensify the feeling of being old, so I just accept it and try to keep up.

NEVER! I choose to embrace my inner geriatric and complain about kids these days and their hippy-hop music.

Oh, I’m liking this take. Get ready for “Z Shooters” and “Alpha Shooters”.

Get off my lawn and leave me to my prune juice.

It does roll off the tongue nicely, I have to admit.

It wasn’t? This is what Wikipedia says:

“OK boomer” or “okay boomer” is a catchphrase and internet meme that has been used by members of the Millennial generation and Generation Z (born between the early 1980s and the early 2010s) to dismiss or mock attitudes typically associated with baby boomers – people born in the two decades following World War II.

Who was it targeted at then?

Hey, at least it’s shining.

I would love to see that take place, so sign me up for the Church of the Boomest Shooter. My only real concern is where do we go from boomest?

No, you’re not. But I like you anyway.

Dammit! Upvoted with great begrudgement.

Oh, they’re definitely better, no question. But by that definition, wouldn’t that make them Boom Shooters?
