Bow tie. Needs a waistcoat.

What’s wrong with Epic Games launcher? I understand that they require some sort of delivery mechanism, even if you don’t use Epic you have to use Heroic or something. Is there something else I should hate?

Didn’t Helldivers ditch the account linking idea before it even happened?

How did this work? The way I remember it HL2 was pretty much the first game on Steam. I remember it being really controversial because you had to install Steam to play the game even offline and people didn’t like that. It was like the original Rockstar Social Club.

How did the survey exist early enough for HL2 to be developed around it?

Do kids nowadays even know what Splinter Cell is?

I’m kinda expecting that it will just be a more powerful Switch. Maybe one day companies will be able to make games that are Switch 2 only but won’t be forced to. Kinda like how nobodies making PS5 exclusives yet.

How exactly will this produce novel new ideas, AI is literally incapable of doing anything it hasn’t already been trained to do.

I’m avoiding reading this thread as I don’t want spoilers but I didn’t really enjoy the first one that much and dropped out before finishing. I hear a lot about 2 though, is it worth playing the first one in order to play 2?

To be fair, they’ve given a relatively technical and honest explanation as to why they’ve made this decision.

I know everyone hates AI being forced into stuff but I think it could be great for games, both in regards to voice acting like here and with creating loads of low-level content, like boring litter, etc. I’m playing Cyberpunk right now and I keeps thinking how it’s a shame that you can’t enter most of the buildings. I’m hoping that with AI that will somehow become possible. Imagine being able to walk into a huge office block, find any random person then have a deep conversation with them. It’ll be amazing. Right now if you walk up to anyone who doesn’t have something specific to say it’s just “Can I help you” and shit like that.

I feel like there needs to be some kind of way of recording what games have been purchased (licensed) so that if a store were using goes out of business we should be able to get it from another store, at least for a very reduced price just to cover their costs.

This is the kind of shit I don’t need first thing in the morning.

I don’t think charging for content is the problem, it’s just the way some companies do it.

Spain were the better team but England proved they deserved to be there.

Kane shouldn’t be in the team, never mind the captain. Saka’s carrying them.

Tense game so far. It’s Spain’s game but England are putting the pressure on.

They don’t join the game until they’re a goal down. Once they’re in though, they play well and show good resilience until the game’s over. If Portugal had that resilience then the Slovenia game wouldn’t have gone to penalties.

Even the English pundits are saying that giving England that penalty was a disgrace.

I hope the new game loses the Clash of Clans style cartoony graphics.

I was a PowerVR kid.

I can understand how this might be annoying but I’m pretty sure it’s convenient for OneDrive users. Why doesn’t he just disable syncing on that folder? How many times is he changing PC?

ChatGPT says Battle Maze or Battle Arena.

It’s device manufacturers that are fucking up, not MS.

I’ve never played this game and I’m reluctant to read into the internet echo chamber of hate around it, but is it really that bad? After all the work that’s presumably gone into it, how can it be so disappointing?

I enjoyed Madness Returns but the main problem was that some of the chapters just dragged so much. If they’d cut it down they could have made a really really good budget game and nothing of value would have been lost. It’s a 14 hour game with 6 hours of content.
