I played the hell out of the demo and just started playing the main game. I love it. I recommend the demo though, you can carry your progress over so there no reason not to try it out first

I think they mean more how the character responds to the controls not the binding of controls

My point is more it should be on a separate testing branch if used so it can’t accidentally be left in the final product

Yeah that’s the thing, placeholder textures need to be obviously placeholder so they don’t get forgotten about. Using ai for something that’s approximate to what it should be is stupid in that regards. You’re just making your job harder at the end of the day.

The only time I can think of it being worthwhile is if you need to show off progress with a vertical slice, for an investment round or whatever, but you don’t have all of the required textures sorted yet. But these changes should be fine on a separate branch so they’re not a part of the main development of the game so the above can’t happen .

I think the term stuck in the same way “eurogames” as a genre in board games did even though it’s definition no longer has anything to do with is origin. Same with “eurobeat” in music, whose averaged origin is probably Japan nowadays, but the term is still there, firmly in place.

I imagine the movie might borrow a lot of beats from that movie so for “corporate synergy” it would make sense that they would remake that

DK Bananza was made by the Odyssey team so it makes sense there isn’t another 3d Mario on the horizon yet

Lottery tickets are usually 16+ too. It’s probably kicked after that

So what about the government, healthcare and banking apps?

Not all have websites sadly. Virgin for example got rid of their web app and now direct you to download them mobile app as the only way to manage your accounts outside of the brick and mortar branches. Obviously I now rarely use that credit card, if ever. But others may have their main bank accounts and mortgages etc with such a bank and that would suck.

2 is one of my favourite fighting games

Right back at ya

Are you serious? You think being competitive is what makes people only play these games?

Sweetie, there are plenty of other competitive games out there and usually they have transferable skills.

We don’t “need” the amount of fighting games we have but people rotate between them on a regular basis because they don’t have the same kind of predatory practices that keep people locked into a specific one where if they switch to another they’ll feel like they’ll lose out on their progress and the potential that they then wasted their time on the previous game.

Actually sony tried to fight it because of the COD franchise mainly but didn’t get into suing them, but they were a big part of the opposition when it came to governments giving approval of such a huge merger

Its the same reason why WOW has persisted as long as it has, even with how dodgy the company has become year after year, they’re still tied at the top because it’s player base is locked in.

Its over saturated because each of these games gate unlockables either under microtransactions or enough time that it effectively becomes the only game you play.

Boomer shooters welcome other boomer shooters, they only have a finite time worth of content before you’re replaying them for the sake of replaying them.

For this game it was either this or the game never released at all though

Aren’t you thinking about them more by having to explicitly think of replacing the a with an asterisk when you want to refer to them?

Gaymers

2 is PS2 then everything after until the Norse games is PS3 and PSP

Yes, they just don’t release every game they work on, or sit on them for longer than most because their finances are no longer dependent on the games they make themselves

If you want to get technical yeah I guess it wouldn’t be independent because it wasn’t independently funded.

Personal i think the criteria for no longer being an indie dev is if the company is funded by a publisher or the company itself has been or has the capacity to be a publisher themselves

I thought they had a publisher

I’ve played loads of it on my anbernic GBA

Ah I see. I think it’d be a good reference point on what’s on the lower end still though even if you don’t use portmaster itself

Check out portmaster

Yeah that’s mostly what i use it for. A way to search for things that i can’t describe well enough for a traditional search engine so I can find out at a glance what it’s name is and if it’s valid for my situation. If it is then I go look up documentation. Any time I’ve stayed in the LLM past that I eventually go down a rabbit hole of wrong ideas that aren’t always obvious until you get a bit too deep and you’ve wasted an hour with an incorrect solution.

It might not be what they planned but they’re now using it as an opportunity for more publicity to get something out of it especially now there are some potential sales they won’t be getting anymore.

This also states that this is the first main kiryu game with an English dub. But the very first game was dub only on the PS2, with Mark Hamill as Majima too

Nah, I’m fine with the standard look of it on the PC. It’s part of what makes it feel how it does. I don’t think I’d have described it as a blurry mess though, it ain’t an N64 game

I’m excited to play 4 again at some point when i have the time

And some games don’t let you use both at the same time!

This would be killer!

I have eustachian tube issues that make most headphones very uncomfortable. Not only that I’ve always seen it weird to do that when I have a TV and a good sound system in my living room to use.

Games with bird sounds. This wouldn’t be too bad if i could turn them down or off but because of this I can’t play some games or spend time in specific areas of some games because it make my birds go crazy because they think there’s another bird in the house.

I wish we could individually turn up or down all of the different elements if sounds not just music/sfx/voice etc

I don’t think the union was official yet, i think they were discussing unionising

Not to mention the bombardment of phone calls and messages while trying to "mourn’. Awful pacing.

The game is definitely too sparse and spread out. It should’ve taken more inspiration from the likes of yakuza than gta and made a smaller but more dense world to play in where every nook and cranny ACTUALLY meant something rather than giving the illusion of doing so.

To me every nook and cranny just looks bland with nothing to do there. Everywhere just had the same sidewalks and railings. There’s no way i could ever navigate that game without waypoints.

And with the acting the emphasis she puts on certain words in a sentence just don’t match the situation and the others she’s talking to, and it feels like she swaps between extreme emotions on the same dialogue and it’s like tonal whiplash to me. There was no nuance to lay in between, and nothing to unpack for the listener. You know when she’s angry because she has her 110% angry voice on and so on.

Unless the situation is heightened and dire, it just never fit in my opinion. Her performance fits a stage play more than what’s meant to be an immersive video game in my opinion.

Jackie’s and Keanu’s voice acting though was stellar.
