According to everyone else they are angels. According to me they close studios I like.


Or we just dont gobble up studios like a digital Jormungandr. Publishers have slaughtered studios like cattle in recent years. Its devastating to see and experience.


Their shit dropped 89% and then they gut a bunch of studios and shut down others. This was like a year or two ago.


My cousin just did this house party mission. I was like “man, you’re gonna love this mission. The dialogue is-” and I look at his fucken stream and he instantly just starts shooting people, never talks to anyone to hear the dialogue, and finishes the whole thing in 5 minutes without ever interacting with someone unless it was to kill them.


God damn that shit was expensive no wonder I never got one when I had an advance already.


Sit down, Wannabe Microsoft Jr. I haven’t forgotten all you’ve consumed and erased.


They couldn’t design some sort of system that loads/unloads the content so that its not a 1 TB monster? I feel like theres a way to make that possible. Its software after all.


The Gang Gets Abducted by Religious Slavers for Not Joining The Book Readings.



Bullshit like this is why our industry is a mess, Nintendo may be greedy fucks but their code is good because the same dudes have been working there since the fucken 80s.


Nothing can save bad writing. Everyone wants to make a Handler Walter, but not everyone can handle it.


Games are boring when nothing happens to the player. So lots of things happen to the player. You can consider this the MC’s time when months happen in days.


Its a fun sandbox roguelike with an actually explorable world on the surface. One thing that is dumb is theres no moon on shared worlds. So you can’t do anything with the Essences you find. The Works is still accessible though and getting to hell itself is always a fun challenge.


The steam version. You can just play it in the browser. Its was originally only that. So maybe the steam version is also a form of monetization.

I wish I could get into Warframe more but seeing all that to do just makes me shut down.


Web Fishing comes to mind for me. Idk if it even has monetization besides ads on the web page. It is rather rare though. Warframe was great but when I played leveling each piece of gear was too much for me. So it wasn’t even the monetization it was a game mechanic. Phenomenonal gameplay though. I wish it was more about that than leveling.


It does, and its not like F2P is inherently bad, it let’s a lot of people play who otherwise wouldnt be able to. But the monetization always sucks.


That would make sense but the descriptor is still not a good one. Admittedly it might be my ancient perspective.


40 dollar* they’re just adding twenty to everything.

Cassette Beasts just had a free update BTW.

Indie is the way to go moving forward.


Lmao premium? My ass. That doesnt mean anything. BG3 was “premium” because of the soul put into it. Is this game anywhere near that? Does it at least tell me I’m pretty for the “premium” price?


The only thing I know about Hades is its on Steam and every character it shows is chiseled as hell.


Ah, yeah I didnt gleam that from reading the word console a million times in the article. Thank you. It makes sense now. Nintendo money + Steam sales.


I’d imagine the Hades IP makes good money on Steam. It must be a guap unless I am dead wrong.




It may be that way now. But it still sounds like at first they didnt account for much differentiation between the kitchen and the bathroom sinks if that was an issue they had for a while. Admittedly I haven’t played since Sims 2. But it was a problem when I was all into Making Magic.


Its not dish washing, its “Clean +4” or something. So it sounds like you’d either have useless bathroom sinks or people washing dishes in them from time to time with the decided upon architecture.


Thats an extremely cool design for this system to be honest. But it still sounds wildly complex even with all of it shifted away from the Sim and into the advertising objects. That washing dishes in the bathroom issue seems like it could very easily become a common problem if you aren’t paying attention to assigned advertising values. Which I’d imagine if you’d just match the bathroom sink value with the kitchen it might fix some of it, but not the ones who happen to walk by the bathroom with a dirty plate. So I still see why they aren’t more common. Thats a lot harder than say a platformer or something that we see a dime a dozen nowadays.



I’ve read its hard to make one of quality, with all the interactions that have to happen between systems and entities.


It just looks like staging to take it closed. This is just worse for the consumer any way you slice it.



Pretty sure they use some google security features that breaks it on non-pixel devices.
