Cat on the keyboard. Been there…

I mean, they fired their last CEO that carefully planned and executed his plan to design and manufacture them (GPUs).

Using a release Valve.

That doesn’t count. That’s outside the environment.

Hmm, the referenced water block doesn’t sound that great. In fairness, I have’t played the game, but the article is light on examples:

In no time at all, you realise with eye-widening, no, surely not possibility that if you create two water blocks on the same spot, they’ll spool skywards into a tall, liquid column.

Not to be a joyless cynic, but this seems less impressive than time, terrain, Iron Boots, or other gimmicks from past Zelda games that expand the existing map…

Don’t forget the king of hardware exclusives: Nintendo! Other than ones with gimmicky motion controls or displays that can’t be easily replicated, most of their games would have the best experience by being more accessible, on better hardware, using better controllers, but Nintendon’t want that. They would also be cheaper!

I hope you’re joking.

Fucking billionaires, man. You get control over millions of people, or you get enough money for all your great-great-grandchildren’s entire lives, no one’s entitled to both. The vast majority of people will have neither…

Logic does not check out. Like they’re both activities I can do on my couch? Okay sure, I guess. Just like I can watch a video about knitting even if I can’t knit, but I could be knitting instead of watching!? Complete nonsense…

Ubisoft can monitor nothing but my balls.

War were declared.

Aren’t those paid (or at least they can be)? I think that’s an entirely different can of worms…

Let’s see, Sony is whining about not knowing what their players want…

They want Bloodborne Remastered, ported to PC. They don’t want to sign in to PSN to play on non-Sony hardware.

Want to print money? Do that…

Most honest person in this discussion.

They apologized? I honestly don’t remember that. Good, that was overdue.

the drifting, because they replace them for free.

Yeah, after literal years of pretending it wasn’t a thing, they’ll quietly fix it. Did they solve the underlying problem? I didn’t think they did…

While suing nonprofit fan projects and streamers into oblivion, ignoring hardware defects, and keeping their game prices artificially high, unavailable, or both. Man, they make it difficult to be a fan…

Duh. They sunk so much into this and literally said as much…

I didn’t know it was distributed by Nintendo!

Or 1 US Steam Deck and a hooker!

I would have preferred the tagline “Honey Bunny, fill your life with laughter and bees.”

I’m “soft boycotting” Ubisoft. By which I mean they haven’t made a game I’m willing to buy in years…

As another example, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the best game ever made, in my opinion. But there’s a laughable amount of glitches in it and speedrunners can easily tear the game apart. So it’s not perfect. It’s also old and the graphics are dated. If it were somehow still supported today, there would be a high-resolution texture pack released, no doubt about it…

Wow, AAA publishers really did a number on us all, huh? Think of them as “expansions”. The game was absolutely complete on 1.0 and you can still get that version! I have most of my time playing the game on v1.0.

The developer then added more content to the game, for free. The bug fixes have been pretty minor and would have happened with paid updates or without, like any modern game…

There’s farming and fishing, tons to collect and craft and upgrade, there’s dungeons, there’s relationships and rare items, and variety of play in the seasons and festivals… But for me, my favorite thing is just how damn charming it all is. The soundtrack is great and atmospheric, even the sound effect of just chopping down a tree is so perfect and satisfying. And IMO, there’s no game that’s a better example of “play at your own pace”. It’s pretty cheap and appeals to such a wide variety of gamers… So give it a try!

They didn’t want to pay for marketing. But all this news coverage… Didn’t they already say they’d re-release it after an overhaul? I guarantee a non-insignificant amount of people will buy it just to see what all the fuss was about…

Hey, friend.

Which is key, since we, as the consumers, provide all the money!!!

10% of game developers are actually CEOs? That doesn’t make any sense.

Well put. I exaggerated, and not to minimize their issues, but the fact you clearly care and are willing to work at it makes me less worried for them.

All you can do is encourage good behavior/perspectives and discourage the bad. At some point, every child growing up will have to decide if they want to be like their parents or not. You’re clearly doing great, just keep going! And take care of yourself as well…

Damn, superstar. Save some A++ parenting for other people! Seriously, you must be raising a top-quality person…

Off-topic, but I got this:

Hell no, I’ll just visit other sites…

Why though. I love competitive gaming and I love watching the athleticism of Olympic competitions… But they’re very different things! Why do we need to combine everything?

Bought it on Switch, bought it on PC… Don’t even slightly regret the 2nd purchase!

Worse than being a pro-privacy company that utterly depends on Google?

I believe you, but I don’t remember backlash for that score on Starfield.

They don’t know, but the orange man told them it’s bad.

I acknowledge the ambitious scope of the game, but that’s actually sad.

Agreed. I don’t mind non-intuitive quest steps, but completely missable items, abilities and other content is inexcusable. That’s why we have to look up wikis…
