Sucks about GameInformer, I liked their reviews and they weren't as clickbaity as most.

Honestly, I'd tie them with IGN as prominent sources most likely to blame for review score inflation. There's no way Gamestop segregated itself from GI regarding games with the most advertising $$$ behind them. I struggle to think of any other example across other mediums having that kind of incestual pairing between critique & marketing.

You joke but this game has 34,803 reviews on Steam at 92% and has sold over 1m copies in China alone. Lmfao.

I was taking the piss out of Spade and Noble but goddamn there's a market for this game.

It will probably outsell Fate/Stay Night...

the plan was to put Towerborne into an early access release later this year
— Tom Warren (@tomwarren) August 3, 2024

Oh okay, this makes a lot more sense than sending it out to die, Lol.

I'm okay with this, early access launch in August and full launch Q1/Q2?

Just realized Cygni is out next week. Finally, I will own a Series X game on disc. I recently got Contra Hard Corps Uprising. What a great game. Bahamut character looks just like a Strider from the Strider series. Mainly Strider Hien the evil one from Strider 2. Also finally finished my first Metal Slug game. MS3 on Xbox Series X. Some parts were amazing but the last level drags. Best sprite work of a game from that era tho.

Stoked for Cygni! I got the 8bitdo arcade stick for Xbox just for the occasion. Worked great playing Streets of Rage 4 and Contra: Operation Galuga as well.
