Decent game to quit about 30h in because while it’s good and fun to play, it’s incredibly repetitive.

The path of grace is literally a giant yellow floating laser pointing in a general direction. It’s not precise, but “subtle” is not exactly the word I would use.

“I build for China”

Not unknowingly. The hacker turned on obvious cheats (wallhack, aimbot) during their matches. Both players reacted immediately, clearly stating that they have hacks on in voice chat. One of them then left the match, the other player continued, but stopped shooting.

I dislike the microtransactions as well, but there’s an insane amount of disinformation about them in these discussions.

Almost all of the items are easily obtainable in the game by just playing, so there’s no gating of content behind the paywall. It being a single player game, there’s also no competitive advantage to be gained by buying them for real money (or inversely lost out on by not buying them)

The whole discussion is blown widely out if proportion.

That is why you put that remark there and then start disregard breaking the games I’m those versions as an issue to be fixed.

If they continue to work, good for everyone. If they happen to break them at some point, tough luck, but not a problem.

Actively stopping the games from running is terrible and entirely unnecessary though.

The title is really hard to parse. It’s “biggest (3rd party) (game pass) launch”

I do use that, yes.

Really kind of a strange thing to block, might actually be worth reporting to uBlock.

Where would that comment section be, exactly?

Gothic or if you want jank

I love the implication that Gothic is not jank here. It’s a great RPG (the first two) partly due to being janky.

Nothing better than literally killing the unbreakable orc siege in G2 chapter 2 because they can’t deal with sidesteps.

Pathfinder was created as an updated version of D&D 3.5, which was very complex. PF food streamline parts of it, but ended up just as complex at some point, mostly due to the massive variety of options available through splat books.

Meanwhile, D&D 5e was released to be much less complex by getting rid of stacking bonuses and the vast majority of math.

Parhfinder 2 (which I have not actually played yet) did not do that. They opted for streamlining the existing system by combining several similar subsystems into one (i.e. everything is a feat now). But the math is still there.

I didn’t know who he is out which character he voiced, but my immediate thought upon reading was “he’s gotta be Astarion”. Phenomenal performance.

Tbf, I didn’t see the .au in the URL.

Good point on the distinction between layoff and firing though. Although I still dislike “redundant” as a synonym for the former.

Dear Kotaku (and other news outlets): can you please stop referring to people getting fired as “being made redundant”?

The term doesn’t even work. The people getting axed are very obviously not redundant if axing them likely leads to the cancellation of a project.

Having a post story expansion necessitates at least partly re-unifying the different endings of the main game. This is a general problem with sequels already, but it’s further exacerbated if you keep the main character the same, which would likely be the case for an expansion.

When I think of Subnautica, I just remember having to drink water like every 5 minutes or so. I would have loved to explore, but I was busy getting basic resources all the time.

Sad times for everyone that still believed in antitrust.

Wait… that math does not possibly check out. In the worst case scenario (Steam), they pay 30% of the revenue from the game in platform fees. If they spend less than that for settlement, simple math tells us that there is at least 41% of the revenue basically unaccounted for.

There’s a bit of overhead in every company, like HR, IT and facilities, so maybe these don’t count for “development cost” (which makes no sense tbh, that’s not how project budgets work). Marketing can eat a ton of money, too, but the numbers still seem bafflingly high.

As long as us Germans get to keep using our “Schw. Tr. d. Le.-En. W.”

(The German translation for “weak potion of restore health” was too long for the UI, so they just put this absolute butchering in instead)
