Big news today with Fortnite adding in a way to purchase directly from them (as opposed to via the app store) on iOS. Apple bans the app from their store. Fortnite IMMEDIATELY retaliates with a anti-monopoly lawsuit and PR campaign. This is fucking interesting as fuck for a lowly game developer like me who is exhausted with all the current mobile business models.

- Epic decided to break the rules set by Apple so of course they would get banned. They had planned on this and made that crappy video in advance.Nutter
- I don't care about either Apple or Epic, but I don't like Epic telling its ios players, "its not our fault you can't play the game anymore".Nutter
- Round 2: Apple will cut Epic Games off from ios and mac development august 28th:

I'm starting to appreciate how this is getting GOTY status already. Played all weekend and honestly haven't had this much fun with a game in a while. Just turn your brain off, explore, level up, and take down Mongols.. Wish there was a sleep feature to change time of day, but other than that I've found this game to be near flawless.
- Supposedly if you collect enough crickets, you learn different flute tunes to play that DO change the time of day! I haven't found any yet, though, hahaelahon
- I think it just changes the weather :/
Fast travel does change the time of day but a bit tedious. They need the RDR2 style sleep mechanic.SteveJobs - what game?monospaced
- Ghost of Tsushima. Doesn't the photo mode allow you to change the time of day?Milan
- Yep, but I want it for searching. Areas like Komatsu Forge, for example, can be difficult to find resources during certain times of day due to lighting.SteveJobs
- Also, I just like exploring when the skies are blue! Same with RDR2SteveJobs
- Just finished it. So much fun. Only gripe is it needs load outs for armour and charms.thumb_screws
- Pick it up mono, it’s so good. Also Kurosawa mode...ben_
- Enjoying it, even though it feels a lot like a reskinned Horizon Zero Dawn. Which is no bad thing5timuli
- i only wish some of the poems were better written—but most of mine came out nice and meditative.jaylarson
- Pick it up? I don’t even game or own video games :(monospaced

- Get a ps5 when it comes outscarabin
- mono I guess I was mislead by your feigned interest. ah well.ben_
- It wasn't feigning interest at all. YOU made an assumption I own a particular gaming console, which is pretty weird.monospaced
- I guess man... someone asking "what game?" in a gaming thread lead to a "pretty weird assumption" about them owning a console... go figure.ben_

- looking forward to this very much!jaylarson

Supposedly only a few hours away, I'm excited. I love this type of gameplay. I hope it plays well on the ps5, too.

- I play this with my daughter, this game is great for a quick breakmoldero
- Its fun, but I do think it loses its charm quite quickly. It just feels a bit too random to me.Nutter
- ^+moldero
- @nutter true. well i did enjoy it more while playing together with friends for a few hoursmilfhunter
- you will find yourself cursing at people the entire game. "ahh out of the fucking way! you fucking jolly wankers!!!"pango

Did it need a TV series? Maybe? Maybe it didn't at all? Idk
- I'd say no tv series required ... The Walking Dead, The Road and The Girl With All The Gifts pretty much cover all the themes explored within the TLoU ...Bluejam
- Agree, not sure it's needed, would prefer they dump all that money into dlc's and multiplayer.ben_
- I'm excited for it. If it conjures half the emotional investment as the games do, it'll be a great show to watch.dopepope
- Well I will say, if anyone can do this franchise right, it's HBO. But still more cautiously optimistic than anything else..SteveJobs
- Could be amazing. I'm all for it. But not sure how they'll top the video games.... quite a challenge for HBO.inteliboy
- Im not sure TV can deliver the emotional gut punches and induced anxiety that the games deliver. The opening sequence of the First game maybe...thumb_screws
- Having said that intrigued to see how they approach and interpret it for TV.thumb_screws

I didn't put it into "What are you Listening to, but I should. The soundtrack is damn good! Not a perfect game, but the first 2/3s is excellent!
