How is player count meaningless? Even for single player games, that’s the most important number to gauge the ongoing interest in a game. Every player contributes to the strength of the fandom.
In this you’re solving 8 wordles at the same time. So green letters are in the correct place, and yellow letters are in the word but in the wrong place. It may help to focus on one at a time like a normal wordle, and see how many you can get solved before you run out of guesses.
I watched the YouTube video referenced in the article earlier today and it was truly amazing how well BG holds up as a first person game. It’s almost tragic that a FPV mode isn’t available by default - the world hits a ton harder from that view.
Yes, but this is a fundamental change to the formula far beyond anything before. It effectively resets the game twice during gameplay. In theory, it helps bound the complexity of the endgame. In practice we will have to see if it stays interesting or if it feels like it cheats you of all the work you’ve done.
Good, hopefully it’ll make AI that is slightly less toxic than the rest of the internet.
It always baffles me that people don’t want their content represented in an AI - every word you write that gets indexed is a vote for how future AI will behave.
Never thought I’d say this, but it might be a little TOO Danganronpa inspired, what with the twofaced animal overlord trapping kids together and forcing them to kill one another. But I love the concept of a card-based debate!
AI does mean something, but it’s quite disappointing.
Even mundane algorithms like A* pathfinding are technically under the umbrella of Artificial Intelligence. However the public’s perception of what AI means constantly shifts to be “whatever computers can’t do today”.
The first weapon has slower gameplay, yeah. But there are also lots more play options due to Omega abilities and whatnot, I think they’re trying to give the player space to think tactically instead of spamming one ability nonstop.
I picked it up to test. So far I once got soft locked in a push animation while pushing a box another player was pushing, but otherwise the game seems nice and fun. Also it’s beautifully designed.
The thing is that it has hints of brilliance underneath all the bad. The mission structure was far better than the original, and obviously the artistic direction was better. If the bugs could get fixed and the features mostly matched up to KSP1, I’d say it was superior.
Hell, I should be able to upload an economic playbook with hundreds of rules like the one you described, and load it on game start. Then all I have to do is the actual unit movements.
It’s easy to remember just the successes of the past and ignore the fact that the vast majority of media then was shit too… we’ve simply forgotten about the things that ended up being mediocre. Survivorship bias is really really strong.
Hell yeah, it’s been a pretty nice autocomplete for me.
Smart for boilerplate, not so much for everything else.
