Why does the NPC audio not match the text in the ‘tutorial’ video?

Or they want to bully smaller devs who don’t have the resources to fight them to close down.

Not really, Steam will refund the buyers, ban the seller, and keep the developer fee they paid. Scammers will be down $100 and everyone else will go on like nothing happened.

Im glad the devs added the disclaimer, its a small thing but it shows some sensibilities.

As someone who never played it growing up, hows the remaster handle? Is it still a product of its time in regards to janky PS/N64 era platforming or have the controls and camera been updated alongside the obvious graphics improvements?

His PEGI-18 work was a little too new wave for my taste. But when PEGI-12 came out in '03, I think he really came into his own, commercially and artistically. The whole message has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the message a big boost. He’s been compared to ESRB, but I think PEGI has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour.

I enjoyed Titan Quest more, but that may be down to the less grimdark aesthetics. Gameplay wise they’re both fine hack ‘n’ slashes.

Forums have always had losers and trolls dwelling there, the issue is the helpful people went elsewhere like discord, reddit, and the fediverse.

Oh I thought it was Portal: Next Generation?

Did they just read the letters ‘hlx’ and use this to mean there must be a game called Half-Life: X coming?

But imagine doing nothing and getting half of everything! Its good to be the king.

You shouldn’t have to beg them to sell you back your game. Trying to defend this pathetic monarchy in anyway is a joke.

Other than mobile games or Lego versions, there hasnt been a proper Harry Potter game since 13 years ago and from memory they were extremely average movie tie in games.

Its not a series like Pokemon or Zelda that sees frequent releases. It being the first real game, and done beautifully (graphics/ recreation wise) is certainly the biggest selling point.

I’m more annoyed that the underlying gameplay hasn’t improved, there’s still zero challenge and you have to actively go out of your way to bankrupt yourself. It’s the same road builder as Cities In Motion was.

Its nothing to do with cheerful, its to do with not knowing how effective a boycott was.

No one in their right mind would expect it to sell zero copies.

Tell me, how do you tell if a boycott was successful?

Buddy, its the worlds 5 largest IP, id be shocked if it didnt sell millions of copies regardless.

For all we know it could have lost out on 20 million sales, but its an untrackable metric.

You csn say all you like, we literally have zero idea how many lost sales they had.

Hogwarts came out a quarter of a year earlier and released on every platform compared to Zelda only being on one.

I wouldn’t take that as a indictment that J.K.'s terf bullshit didn’t have an impact on sales.

MS desperate to get some more money out of its current biggest flop.

The worker mysteriously quit his job after a few days to go live on a tropical island. He was last heard as saying “Yeah the boss totally told me to transfer the money to this account, that AI is so lifelike”.

Im gonna be honest, i prefer the newer one. Looks much easier to read the playscape without all the dark gritty glooomyness. Feels more like an animated show palette.

Aesthetics matter more than realism.

So they’re now actively working on what 3-4 titles?

It’s the internet, everyone gets death threats.

Wake me up when they send an IRL death threat.

It’s no different to using store bought assets. Some games will use it well, others will flip it with minimal effort involved.

I think this is more of an Ark/MC clone than a Pokemon clone.

This is why I pirate games.

But MMOs can be fun?

Also that includes any competitive MP FPS.

Damn, sounds like instead of bitching about AI we should be chopping some heads.

More reason to focus on changing to a society that doesn’t work for the sake of working instead of fighting AI.

There is so little use for NFTs in the real world.

Wizardry, undoubtedly one of the biggest CRPG franchises in history; 3D open world, Bethesda (well at least up until Daggerfall) style RPG.

Now we only use CRPGs to refer to a small niche of retro feeling RPGs, but they can still be diverse in form.

Well back in the day an RPG was DnD.

They made computers and some nerds tried bringing that to computers, so we got CRPGs which helped you know if you meant tabletop or computer, and also that you didn’t mean JRPG.

Now CRPGs are just called RPGs and RPGs are called Table Top RPGs

Not at all to do with us being a small population island nation in the arse end of the world. And electronics prices are almost at parity these days between the two countries (6.52% cheaper in US).

You’ve got weak rights and protections as a consumer, and you don’t even have cheap prices like they do in China to justify it. That’s gotta be embarrassing.

It’s completely ranged mate and it’s how the system operates in Australia. Would not be surprised to hear of similar from the kiwis, cannucks, or euro’s.

We require products to meet up with certain expectations, such as lasting a reasonable lifespan. No one in their right mind would buy a laptop or a console if they expected it to stop working after just one year.

And quickly comparing 2 tax calculators, I would be taking home less money in the US after taxes. I’m not sure how accurate the US one is, because their government doesn’t offer any such service themselves it seems so I had to trust a 3rd party site but I guess those taxes are going towards good things like the military and not useless things like improving citizens lives so that’s a small price to pay.

Being stolen is a seperate beast.

You said “ But regardless, the product was beyond warranty” it wouldn’t be if you had proper consumer protections.

You poor Americans. Product isn’t even 2 years out of release and you accept that as a decent lifespan for an electronic device like this.

Likewise warranties exist to guarantee the quality of product, there’s no reason the company should be absolved from that simply because the user has changed.

It’ll remain the only game I ever started a new game the second after finishing the campaign I played through it 3 times within the first week.

Only complaint is it was short and obviously had some funding concerns.

It was the closest thing to Fallout since Bethesda ruined the series.

Eh the Arcs are fine, especially for a first gen attempt.

And interdimensional travel? Elder Scrolls is just low-tech sci-fi.

It also features intergalactic travel as you leave Nirn to visit other places, such as Oblivion.

You already have it. Skyrim takes place on a planet in space.
