Oh. Okay.

It’s nice to see the gaming industry embracing more realistic body shapes.

What?

And by a publisher we had such deep faith in after the glorious launch that New World had?!

*elusive.

I think IoI has enough good will and cash to get a much better tie in.

They’re still scum of the earth for fortnite but I can appreciate this action.

Oh, does it include PvE?

And have blizzard miss a chance to sell you a decades old game for 60USD? Not a chance.

Pass.

You ask who the fuck decided to sell your studio to a secretive block chain company and you kick them in the nuts.

It’s the same procedure for being acquired by private equity… some asshole early founder felt entitled to destroy all that you, as a team, worked so hard to create.

Capitalism is truly a fucked way to run an economy.

The gameplay may be shit but I’ve enjoyed AC:V and AC:O - they’re both absolutely gorgeous to explore. I’m waiting for Mirage to be discounted down to like five bucks so I can pick it up as well.

But yeah - gameplay wise they’re getting lazy as fuck… especially fucking Odessy. I shelved actually playing it when I noticed the same fort layout for the third time…

Ubisoft has always been a pretty miserable studio but in the past few months it’s really gone off it’s rocker. I’d suggest working with the assumption that they’re going to shutter before publishing another passably good game. Their CEO is giving Kotick a run for his money in the asshole olympics.

I forgive you your 11 year old mistake… just don’t make the same one today!

For the love of god - don’t pre-order it.

Aka the No Man’s Sky approach. After the disastrous launch the team focused on one specific component of gameplay and got it to a place they liked and then moved onto the next.

I am personally convinced that Roberts is trying to keep Star Citizen limping long enough to retire before the shit storm of lawsuits hit the company.

Quick, we better give them millions of more dollars!

Satisfactory pretty obsessively. I’ve been working on some content creation with my partner for dawn of defiance… and looking forward to the factorio: space age release.

Honestly, if you haven’t played it… get off your fucking ass. It’s not the greatest game ever but it’s a solid and charming game with a lot of really neat mechanics.

Bold of you to assume there’s anything in OW2 to milk. Blizzard did an impressive job killing that franchise dead.

Fuck yes Dwarf Fortress came in at #16, that’s 15 places too low of course… but it’s pretty close to correct.

Technically you don’t even own disk games as, when the key server is shut down they are looked forever, and there is no legal way to get around that.

Depends on the tech they use - back in the day CD Keys just had to pass an algorithm check - nowadays some companies have a remote call to some registration server or rely on platform auth - but the easiest to implement is that old algorithm based approach that just checks it locally.

It’s very possible to say positive things about AI around here - you just have some really big gaps in knowledge when it comes to how generative AI functions.
