I share the same sentiment around #EAFC27 and #EAFC overall...

The game has become boring. That magic of old is gone because they push #UltimateTeam above all else.
This year seems like the stroke that broke the camel back, and I expect a lot of fans skipping this year football game until it hits $20 or so in December.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@GIbiz/116973936132635894
This is interesting because Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is also involved in Paramount's acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD)

There goes EA. While I appreciate the Saudis are trying to build a regional game hub, this will come with all kinds of "we're so cool" propaganda.
But, it's not a done deal yet.

~ не понимаю, что у них там такого изменилось спустя мою долгую паузу в этой игре, но теперь кажется, будто они отобрали у меня любой способ комфортно играть в эту игру. А играть на консоли с геймпада в Апекс для меня довольно тяжко. Ну... придётся ждать фикса, в который слабо верится, зная разработчиков. Либо перейти полноценно на консоль, но играть с болью. #ApexLegends #ElectronicArts #RespawnEntertainment

Superman Returns with Adam Williamson
Superman Returns came out in 2006 and asked audiences a very sincere question: what if Superman, but sad? Brandon Routh brooded his way across the big screen, lifting improbable objects and pining for Lois Lane, and somewhere in a boardroom, someone decided this emotionally complex theatrical event needed to be a video game on four different platforms. Five if you count the Game Boy Advance version, which is technically a different game but we’re counting it anyway because we paid good money decided that we just needed to talk about it.
The PS2 and Xbox versions let you fly around Metropolis, absorbing explosions with your face in service of a health bar that belonged to the city rather than Superman himself, which is either a genuinely clever design idea or the most passive-aggressive mechanic in superhero gaming history. The Xbox 360 version turned the whole thing into an open-world showcase for what next-gen hardware could do, which in 2006 meant “look at those buildings.” The DS version was a side-scrolling beat-em-up. The GBA version was something else entirely. Superman Returns contained multitudes, is what we’re saying.
Joining me to dig through the whole sprawling, melancholy, city-defending mess is Adam Williamson, real-life friend, frequent Play Comics guest, and owner of a podcast idea that has been marinating for what I can only describe as a concerning length of time. Adam, I say this with love: at some point you’re going to have to actually make the thing. In the meantime, he’s here, the knowledge is flowing, and we’ve got a Superman game across half a console generation to get through.
So settle in, try not to let the city’s health bar drop to zero, and let’s find out whether Superman Returns deserved better — from Hollywood, from the games industry, and honestly, maybe from all of us.
Learn such things as:
- Did we finally crack the secret on how to make a good Superman game buried somewhere deep inside this one?
- Are real estate moguls the true evil in today’s society?
- Are you a deadbeat dad if nobody besides you knows that you’re the father?
- And so much more!
You can find Adam on BlueSky @effectnotaffect and absolutely nowhere else except for on Play Comics where he writes comic reviews and appears on other episodes. Of particular interest to listeners of this episode are The Gimmick #1 and The Job #1.
If you want to be a guest on the show please check out the Be a A Guest on the Show page and let me know what you’re interested in.
The next episode is going to be Garfield’s Nightmare and Scary Scavenger Hunt, so get your thoughts ready and over to me if you want to hear them in the show.

You can find Play Comics @playcomics.bsky.social on Bluesky, @playcomicspodcast on Threads, @playcomics on YouTube, or the Play Comics website.
If you want to hear Chris talk with Karrington Martin about the lessons we learned from children’s media and how crazy it is that we’re supposed to just forget about that now that we’re adults, then Sugar, Spite, and Everything is Fine is probably something you should check out.
A big thanks to Big Game Saga Issue 2 and DC Specialcast for the promos today.
