You dont have to use it, but more options for consumers is always a good thing

I think the biggest problem is Bethesda always hypes these things up like they’re the fucking holodeck. Starfield could have been the greatest game ever made and it still wouldn’t have lived up to the prerelease hype.

It’ll track it as “non-steam game”

Popular? GameStop?

Right? Where does Microsoft get off adding minimum hardware requirements to windows 11 for the first time ever?

And oblivion, and skyrim

8 had amazing mechanics but the story was shit and I didn’t like or identify with any of the characters. 7 was much better in that regard.

Yeah imagine how shitty the game would be if it was actually rushed

Fallout 4 took 7 years to develop and still felt rushed. Exactly how far in advance do you think they knew about the show?

He’s right. If they’d rushed to get a game out in time for the show it would have been a piece of shit and eroded the brand.

Are there some pointers you could give me to understand FF7 a bit better?

Play the original instead.

Yeah I loved the old days when my phone would get bricked from being in my pocket during a light rain

I so badly wanted that movie to be great and prove the haters wrong. But ugh, it was so fucking bad. Insultingly bad.

Wouldn’t a robot’s pronouns be “it/its”?

I bought this expecting an updated ff7 with better graphics and quality of life improvements. I ended up with a shitty dragons age clone, so I refunded it immediately. Not even going to buy it again if it’s on sale.

I only ever use the search bar so IDC how its laid out

Or stick to doing it to valves properties. They’ll not only support you, they’ll probably hire you.

Linux with KDE required

Not true, it’s available for all major distros regardless of DE as well as Windows and Mac OS

whine about green and blue bubbles.

The only people who whine about that are children and Europeans.

Ideally we would have something like email (but of fucking course not email, because its atrocious) that doesn’t require any corporation or centralization involved, where we could run our own or choose which entity we want to host our data, and would be interoperable across entities.

Thats called jabber and it’s existed for 25 years.

Not the guy you were asking but it’s great for writing powershell scripts

Private companies can still have multiple owners

Paying a subscription for a product isn’t a donation. It’s a subscription fee.

I bought FF7 rebirth without watching any videos of it, expecting an updated final fantasy game. What I got was a final fantasy themed dragons age. Refunded that shit after a half hour.

Yeah. I’m really not going to rent an app launcher.

It’s a very reasonable cost

Ok, cool.

which you pay annually

Pffffft. Nah.

The source code Microsoft released this week is not for that multitasking version of DOS 4.00, and Microsoft’s Open Source Programs Office was “unable to find the full source code” for MT-DOS when it went to look.

anytime I hear anyone complain about a Bethesda game crashing my first question is “are you using mods?”

Anytime I hear anyone complain about a Bethesda game crashing my first thought is “yep, sounds like a Bethesda game”

Got any opinions on how Caesar’s Legion is the only hope for New Vegas?

There was actually supposed to be lore backing that up, and making the decision more complicated that “NCR good, legion bad” but they ran out of development time

What percentage of the sales price do you suppose goes towards the outside companies that print the disks and make the packaging?

It is the only reason I have epic installed. Not planning to buy anything but they got their foot in the door

I don’t think having a large budget by itself should be enough.

That’s what AAA means, though. People regularly misinterpret it to mean “good” or “popular” but what it really means is “large and expensive to produce”

AAA is about size, not quality. If they have the budget they can make a AAA game.

Yeah, Nintendo in the 90s didn’t care about profit, they added music to their games for the pure whimsey of it. Give me a break.

This. There’s already half a dozen Chrono trigger remakes. I want a sequel. And no, Chrono cross isn’t good enough.

There’s already a Chrono trigger remake with the original graphics on steam. It has FMV scenes and the controls are kind of shit so it’s not exactly like the pixel remasters but you don’t need an emulator
