Alright, Satan, calm down.

And the first game that was already stolen?

I’m sure that’ll help the world economy.

Very true.

No surprise there. From what we’ve been hearing from Intel lately, they’ll be looking to nickel and dime every mug loyal customer possible.

Sadly, legacy doesn’t always mean profit. It made enough of a splash with it’s style to get into the zeitgeist but not people’s wallets.

Sounds like a bunch of people possibly just got some malware 🤭

*including Skyrim

True true. I’ve had similar experience with gg.deals as well, I just name HB for their loud rise about a decade ago.

By the way, for whatever reason, your link to ITAD is trying to point to a Lemmy community so it doesn’t work. Not on my end, at least. I’ve just run into the same problem when linking GGD so I think you have to include the https for it to work.

Lately we’ve been seeing nothing but sob stories from Intel then here’s AMD with two lots of good news in a single post. Way to go, AMD!

Can’t sniff at a good Humble Bundle

Well, since they don’t sell games, I guess they shouldn’t expect to see any of my money anytime soon. The blade cuts both ways, Ubishit, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Taking an extreme example instead of one that is the norm makes it extremely obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about. Go back to your walled playpen and leave the rest of us to our freedom.

Considering how much price gouging Intel’s been guilty of, I find it very hard to feel sorry for him.

I wonder how many channels will accidentally get nuked in this ‘review’.

Because we have clear evidence that the morons are spoiling ghe market for everyone else. If they hadn’t fallen for the death by a thousand cuts of “it’s only additional content”, “I want to be able to play it on the day of release”, “it’s only cosmetic”, “I don’t care about having a disc”, “I don’t care if I can play something I bought in 5 years”, “you can’t expect a company to run a server in peRPeTuitY”, “it’s only a ToS, it doesn’t mean anything”, “it’s oPTioNal”, “games cost a lot more to make now than they once did”, “it’s fucked now so I’ll come back after they’ve updated it a bit, I don’t need that money now”. They were all lies, all hooks for the idiots that are too dumb to engage their brains for more than a couple of seconds, were never taught how to use money, were never taught how to vote with their wallets nor impulse control, and here we are, not 20 years since the writing was on the wall for those of us who knew how to engage our brains for longer than it takes to click the ‘“buy” now’ button, several serious hits taken to our basic consumer rights, some hanging in the balance, the gaming market on the cusp of imploding and our money devalued by at least 50% if the corpos only stop at Nintendo’s $90 con and, in truth, even less than that since that’s proven to rarely be the actual price of the full game.

So yes, it’s foolish to encourage this behaviour because the morons voted us into oblivion.

Not just kids. That bullshit applies to channels that are entirely adult-oriented and yet we’re still having our content censored as if we were children. I’d love to hear what Orwell himself would say about the present state of the internet.

It’s foolish to reinforce such behaviour.

What a surprise… 🙄 The only way Nintendo has worked hard to ‘mitigate the issue’ and still hasn’t landed on Hall Effect as the answer is if they’re purposefully keeping shit components but want them to be just good enough for them to not get sued.

Which means games are pushing themselves out of the market despite looking to make more money.

Can someone just put a bullet in him already. Please

They’re definitely in an ivory tower at the least.

As great a philosophical mainstay as Hanlon’s razor is, I find it pretty difficult to believe a system of laws that almost exclusively favour the wealthy, especially when it’s people in positions of wealth that write said laws, is some happy accident.

You think the string-pullers would be honest about their goals? It’s all about control, making sure the haves keep.

Precisely. It’s easy to give oneself the moral high ground when the hill you choose to die on costs significantly less in time, effort and money. Helping real people is far too expensive but if you make yourself sound like a humanitarian by defending fictional people then that’s pretty cost-effective.

Take your upvote and get out.

Because to the black and white people out there it’s bad that a child can come to any amount of harm no matter how fictional those children may be. It’s a similar trend to the old anti-game movement because these people believe the sort of person who picks up a digital AK47 and clip dumps some NPCs is the sort of person who would do the same in real life and thus shouldn’t be able to in any capacity, as if removing an entirely fake playground stems true homicidal rage and definitely doesn’t point to failed parenting in teaching consequence or genuine mental illness.

Quality-assurance workers? At Bethesda? I thought they were a myth. The games certainly don’t reflect them existing.

Lack of optimisation. The spec requirements alone point this out but then they still commonly run like garbage.

Took long enough.

In fhe same way you can voice your opinion, someone else can voice why it’s flawed, why people should look at a project like this and point out why people should just regurgitate the same old “AI slop” venom. Putting those points forward isn’t being mean-spirited, it’s highlighting the nuance around a topic and adding more to the conversation than “tis gud”/“tis bad” without being a personal attack so there’s no need to go on the defensive either.

Get out. Well done but get out and take your upvote with you.

My personal issue with it was a general lack of optimisation. Granted that was the demo so things could have changed but if even the demo runs poorly, I don’t consider it a good sign.

Then don’t buy anything. In the meantime I’ll keep pursuing more of a franchise that I love, especially when HL is the only good thing we’ve had in quite some time.

Art versus artist. Some of us what as much of the wizarding world as we can get.

Translation: “The executive’s felt their yearly bonus wouldn’t be big enough come the end of the financial year so they found a way to free up some extra funds.”

I mean in the way that if you close the game mid-run, it nukes your whole save.

So far I’d say The Chinese Room has got a decent rep so… 🤞

Just watch it launch on April 1st and turn out to be mid-run ironman saves.

Exactly. All of that time and effort could be going towards a game I’d prefer to play and wouldn’t be susceptible to takedowns.
