Baldur’s Gate 3 publishing director Michael Douse is certain new open-world game Crimson Desert is the software equivalent of the Bride of Frankenstein, just a jumble of parts awkwardly stitched together with the goal of appealing to anyone.Douse explains in a March 28 Twitter thread, “Crimson Desert is fun to play, but it is such a cynical amalgamation of borrowed mechanics. It is Now That’s What I Call Gaming plucked off a gas station shelf, for better & worse.”Developer Pearl Abyss’ Crimson Desert has more gameplay options than a fish has scales.

An ancient, work-in-progress version of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV has reportedly been discovered on an Xbox 360 development kit at a car boot sale, somewhere up Edinburgh way. Dating back to November 2007, about six months before the open world game’s launch, it’s said to contain a cut model for a Liberty City river ferry that once featured in a trailer.

A Balatro-like game is one you feel you should probably uninstall from your computer during work hours. It’s the kind of addictive trance that a youth theatre troupe would come to your school to warn you about.From the minute I saw 30 seconds of Raccoin, I knew exactly the effect it would have on me.

Project Hail Mary directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller say they screened a 225-minute cut of the film… and that the general consensus was to “get it way shorter.”“Our first official test screening went great, but we do a lot of earlier screenings for friends and family and other filmmakers and writers,” Miller told Happy Sad Confused. “This movie was massive. When we finally got the assembly cut down to under four hours long, we subjected some filmmaker friends of ours to a three-hour and 45-minute cut of the movie, which was embarrassing.””You just don’t know how the scenes are…
