You don’t get it, the 13th time they remake the first gen games, then it will really be different.

I’m so glad I found persona/SMT to scratch that same itch but with actual depth, difficulty, and variety.

The alternate timeline would have to be pretty wacky, a lot of his techniques are using modern software development progression. Sure, the N64 was a limited platform, but also they didn’t have efficient and optimized algorithms back then that enabled this type of performance on lesser hardware. That came with decades of experience writing code like this.

WTF does “dead genre” mean? There are still people that love it and play it and want more.

The people shouting at blizzcon aren’t yelling because they need a new model and voice lines for protoss units, they are doing it because they want another RTS

Amusement parks can’t just spin up extra servers to handle load at peak times. Video games can. Also there is not a complex economy and ranking system that pits guests against each other at an amusement park.

The comparison is not even remotely reasonable.

For a deeper look into the way modern MMOs are changing with regards to player interaction, this is a must-read paper

The real question is how many of the creators would love the ability to put this in their game. Maybe they wished it looked like the upscaled version all along but couldn’t due to the technical restrictions of the time

But is he getting a hefty stock based compensation package? Can he sell those stocks before he bails?

Did the writer give me permission to read their book, which I used to learn to write better and sell those works?

Did Michelangelo give every art student that learned from his works permission to learn from his work and then produce works in a similar style on their own to sell for profit?

But they already changed it from $0 to 0.2, how do you know it won’t be 10 dollars next year after you’ve already spent 5 years making your game?

What if you only were charging a dollar for your game and people like it so much they install it 5 times over the year? Easy to do with multiple devices or reinstalling OS’s

The problem is unity is forcing this on people who may have spent years and lots of money entering into a different kind of business agreement.

There are so many actually good games out there, you need to branch out more if your bar for an A is that low

It’s another subpar Bethesda game in a long line of subpar Bethesda games. Lifeless bland NPCs, tons of glitches, bad gameplay issues, and the same “shallow ocean” criticisms we’ve been going over since Skyrim.

No duh, it’s the new space Skyrim. Not really news or unexpected.

Gaming “journalism” is shoddy, low quality, biased, and untrustworthy. Every bad game coming out of a big studio will get dozens of 10/10s. Not even talking about starfield, but just every botched release.

Using gamer news or review outlets as a source is useless.

The people that are saying good things about it seem to be people that don’t play that many non-betheada RPGs so don’t have anything to compare it to, or are just excited for a space theme. People that are playing high quality RPGs like persona 5 or baldurs gate are not happy with starfield

This was going to happen whether Starfield was a masterpiece or complete garbage.

But as expected it wasn’t either just a subpar game that a large number of people think it’s a 10/10 GOTY contender

It’s the same game as the last several Bethesda games, no need to play it to criticize it.

But even watching a few streams and videos is really enough to see even the harsh criticisms are putting it mildly.

I think you mean pressing buttons in menus to teleport across the galaxy

The fps isn’t killing anybody and spinning the wheels in luck be a landlord isn’t taking anybody’s money.

Neither is bad.

They are literally the #1 selling video game in the history of the world.

If that’s not enough, the world is fucked.

Didn’t even include a single link to piracy, smh low-effort attempt

Doesn’t matter. People said the same shit about having thousands of hours in CD projeckt red games and then we’re disappointed in cyberpunk

“Don’t preorder games” doesn’t mean “don’t preorder unless it’s your favorite series”.

It means don’t fucking give anybody money for a game that’s not fucking out yet, period.

And you would have gotten to play them even without preordering.

But preordering gives the games industry bad incentives.

The fact that you even gave them money and had a preorder to cancel in the first place means you’re part of the problem, my friend.

Stop preordering.

Not trying to argue that, “RPG” is one of the worst defined genres and I don’t really care what you categorize it as, my point is that Zelda games are pretty consistently great, unique, and have pushed the envelope for decades, much like most other 1p Nintendo games

Literally everybody in my friend group hates Nintendo. I think all of us own a switch and always will buy Nintendo games. Mario is one of the best platformer franchises, Zelda one of the best RPGs. Hard to replace their consistent high quality franchises, even if we know the company is shit.
