I’m keeping it around because at some point in the future the Switch 2 will get hacked, and boy am I going to have some sailing to do.

RTS, RPG, Space Sims. Whatever Helldivers 2 is, maybe… I only played one game like that.

I got mine for 99 DKK including Mariokart because the shop selling it fucked up their discount. Best value I’ve ever gotten. XD

So are other MOBAs. Doesn’t stop them from being crap.

Hey, do you wanna bet that the people who can’t stop playing this are the same people who are generally stuck to MOBAs?

Hopefully not a fade-to-black this time. :V

And it still looks uninteresting.

Looking forward to how they’ll do that.

Visual Capitalist says they make all their own graphics (so not just grabbed from the Web) from a “veriaty of tools from Adobe Creative Cloud”.

Adobe has been making a huge push for so-called “AI tools” in their Creative Cloud service.

“Don’t worry about” is the primary reason to start worrying.

Seeing is believing.

Then don’t play my future games.

When I develop my game I’m going to prevent players from skipping cutscenes on first viewing.

Gods, some people are just undeserving…

Videogame us called videogame because it is a game that displays itself with video. You seem to be missing that videogames come in genres, like music, books, and movies.

Desensitised… Or fucked up? :)

He looks to be wearing some sort of symbols that refer to Braccus Rex, a tyrant king. Maybe this is a whickerman situation where the locals celebrate the death of Braccus Rex with a live sacrifice dressed as one?

A kind of flower, can’t remember the name… Blood rose? But it’s a demonic type of flower that only grows in soil that has been tainted with extreme suffering. Might have something to do with the Void…?

Probably some sort of Void corruption, I would reckon. DOSII literally had people and creatures boiling, then exploding, into Void creatures.

Yes.

You don’t know a thing about Divinity or Larian if that’s your takeaway. XD

I only spent 99 DKK (Danish kroner) on a Switch 2 + Mario Kart World because a local company briefly fucked their pricing.

The system is certainly worth 99 DKK, that much I can say. Though… I find myself mostly still graviting to emulated MK8D.

The choice of CryEngine was because of Crysis, a game that was infamous for PC killing visuals. Roberts doesn’t just want a gran open universe, but also something that looks like real life.

Which is why on two occasions new ships were put off from development in order to competent overhaul existing ships to look better, as better graphics became the norm.

I’m surprised development hasn’t completely paused once again to overhaul everything for raytracing.

Well, some of those actors know him. Mark Hammel has worked with him before in Wing Commander.

But yeah, you’re right; same old Roberts.

Good faith, no. There’s about as much good faith as a silicon valley tech bro looking for venture capitalists.

I don’t think Chris Roberts doesn’t believe in what he’s doing. I genuinely think he wants to make what he’s promising because he’s been trying to do that since the 90s. But he’s also milking the development time/funds as hard as he can.

900 million USD and 13 years of development and they still don’t have the single player linear story game Squadron 42 released.

The visuals were absolutely crazy 10 years ago and are starting to look dated today. They’ve gone over and reinvented the wheel several times, including using a game engine that was never meant for online play.

The only thing that is keeping this level of incompetence afloat is the shit ton of money that people keep pouring into this. Previously Roberts had some executive that would kick him off a project if he got too… ambitious. But now he’s in full control of his project and… Well… For the first, and ONLY, time ever I take the side of the executives.

If you look into Chris Robert’s history you’ll know it’s not a scam. You’ll also know he should never be given full control of any project or it will turn into exactly this; something that never finishes.

I’ve gotten pretty much the entire Yakuza series through Humble Monthly. I’ve tried getting into it starting with Y0… Played a couple of hours… Then stopped…

I dunno… It just doesn’t really seem to grow on me.

“Waaaahhhh! Waaaaahhhh! Why is Steam such a good service? That should be illegal! Tell them they should be worse!”

That’s all I’m hearing from these other corpos.

Depends on how it’s used.

Right now it’s used to replace skilled workers, be them artists, actors, or programmers.

I can certainly think of a few good uses for AI in games, but to a Corpo CEO “good use” = wider profit margins at the cost of humanity. And so we need to be informed about such things when we spend money on something that is by all rights an artform.

Kingdom Hearts. The writing is equally sappy and edgy fanfic crossover slop. But there’s something so satisfying about the combat, especially after the introduction of the command deck.

That’s pretty darn cool, actually.

To those that typically play space sims, I tend to describe your game as “X4, but medieval”.

Hollow Knight. It’s the only one I actually played to the end.

At this point Gabe has a fleet of yachts and a large knife collections.

I’ve never heard anything about Gabe in connection with cars or large houses. Just knives and yachts. So I guess in the case if this guy he actually really likes yachts.

Simple. I’ll just download it. Back in my day you used to be able to download RAM too.

To add to the post title:

Devs actively support the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Fuck them.

I don’t understand the word “purchasing” in the context of “Sony product”. What do you mean with that?

“Hello chat! Today’s challenge is to make the Steam Deck lose 20% of its performance. I can’t wait to get started!”

Look at their website. It pretty explicitly states you can do with the Gabe Cube whatever you want. Including changing the OS.

Fans bothered making a custom server? All one of them?

Im not the ones ignoring definitions, and calling Valve a monoply is bad faith in the first place.

You mean those same “comprehensive” definitions that failed with my argument?

Other corpos who cry about Valve providing a good service.

I’ll probably use VR mostly to play sims. Elite Dangerous, X4, I also have a few racing sims.

But ultimately depends on the price. I’m not going to sell my organs for what is essentially a really cool immersive gimmick.
