I don’t really celebrate murder, but I’m certainly not gonna mourn the loss of someone responsible for many preventable deaths bcz they wanted a bigger paycheck.

Ill probably buy the game just to spite Russia. The fuck do they care about some Ukrainian developers game? It doesn’t affect the war one way or the other… unless they’re afraid it’s going to humanize the Ukrainians.

I will say, i didn’t think the main story was that strong. But the huge amount of amazing side quests more than made up for it.

Oh you’re in for a treat. The side quests in Witcher 3 are legendary. I love everything about that game.

So we really are going for a dead internet. Nobody is going to want to interact with bots all day online. But maybe that’s the point, harder to organize organically on the streets without a presence online.

Can we stop posting screenshots of games on here. It has taken over the games sub, and nobody really cares about what you’re playing at this very moment.

It’s working, my desire to buy nintendo games is going down with every piece of news that comes out about them

Is Nintendo trying to get people to not buy their games?

I hate when I accidently spend months developing an ad feature that gets turned on by accident in my ps5.

I don’t understand how genocide is good for business, but I’ll take your word for it.

Well, that’s just not true. There’s a fuck ton of propaganda all the time.

At this point it’s starting to look like he’s intentionally tanking Twitter to remove a major platform where people can organize.

He’s making moves intentionally stupid that destroy the Twitter brand that was built up.

Yeah, I’m not surprised countries are trying to meddle in U.S. elections. We’ve done such crappy things, and everything is always in pursuit of making money and being a world super power.

I was reading an article about it after I asked this question. Apparently, the U.S. thinks they are strategically important to maintain access to oil in the region. Always comes back to oil… 😒

I don’t understand why companies have such a hard on for Israel. This is nuts. They’re literally committing genocide, and people are just shrugging at it.

I loved ff16, some people don’t like the batte system, but I found it to be really fast paced, and made me feel like I was a badass. The story us pretty good, in my opinion.

On the flip side, my friend played it and said it was fun, but the story was predictable.

Just play the game and find out.

Obviously not

You obviously haven’t actually played the game.

Lots of people in this thread who have no idea what it takes to make a game.

Game engines are harder to make/update than you think, and if everybody’s expertise is in a homegrown engine, you cant just expect the team to know newer technologies at the drop of a hat.

If you can’t draw inspiration from other games, then the gaming industry as a whole is in trouble.

Just because it has a resemblance to pokemon doesn’t make it pokemon. The gameplay is completely different.

These can’t be real, they read like they were generated by an AI prompt.

Anybody who’s played palworld knows the game is nothing like pokemon. What’s next, are they going to claim they are the only company who can make games with 4 legged animals?

Well, you did change the story of ff7 a ton, which nobody asked for. I purposely bought the game from gamestop so Square Enix wouldn’t get my money for the game. ff16 on the other I bought on my ps5, and I thought it was great.

How much innovation can you get when you have to spend millions of dollars on large teams to develop games now, compared to even 10 years ago? It’s not really all that surprising that companies want to play it safe. It’s a large investment, and they don’t know if there will be a return on it.

That doesn’t even get into the fact that there’s only so many combinations of things you can do in a video game.

Fall Out 4 was fine, definitely didn’t fail. Your expectation of games is way too high.

Yeah, I tried it for the first time the other day, seemed a little too open. I wasn’t even sure what I was supposed to do. Encountered one single player in the hour I was online playing it.

I don’t know of any unskippable cutscenes in RDR2. At least in the open world part of the game, I’ve been able to skip aby cutscene I’ve wanted too.

That’s not really much of a spoiler

Yes, the game gets much better. If you want something totally “open world” there’s an online game mode too.

The story is pretty dumb. I wouldn’t say it’s bad necessarily, I just think it’s dumb how often we get into whole town shootouts, amd then just pay 80-90 bucks to make it go away. Oh, and fuck Micah, that guy can get lost.

Haha, currently playing rdr2 again right now. There are plenty of terrible missions in the game. Depending on if you’re talking regular missions or story missions, some of the story missions where you shoot up the whole damn town are stupid, and then you just go pay a bounty and it’s all okay. But, you can’t enter Blackwater under any circumstances or tye calvary comes in and shoots you up, dead within 10 seconds of stepping foot there.

Lots of essentially fetch quests, especially the ones where you go shake down people for loan money for strauss.

There are missions you can fail for venturing too far away from people, but you’re never told that until you’re too far away already. This is just what I could think of off the top of my head.

I work in software… how about that.

There’s nothing contested about it. Add a bunch of extra operations to the game loop and you can slow down a game. You only have so much headroom in each frame. Dunova takes up a lot of that time. And let’s not forget you can literally go tests with games that had denovu and then removed it. The testing shows pretty clearly that it does indeed slow down games.

Anti piracy software that slows down your game

Still not playing it after the devs sent play testers a memo not to talk about anything negative, feminist propaganda or covid-19.

I was excited to play this game until I saw this. Now I kinda don’t want to play it.

Looked really good from the trailer I just watched.
