I wish I had insight into some decisions that are made in modern game design. For example, the limited retries on a boss battle in World Tour mode. There are two reasons to have it this way. Either it makes the game more fun, or it’s tied to some sort of monetization and will make the company more money.

Unanimously disliked is probably going a bit far, while it seems everyone agrees it’s not perfect I’d say about half the reviews say they overall enjoyed it despite the flaws. Not surprising, given that “Free-roaming Fighting Game RPG” isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, you either fall neatly in the venn-diagram…

Ex-wife.

That’s what his wife said.

“Hey NPC, can you tell me where to find the Sword of Radiant Light?”

Yes...that’s my point....

I have a soft spot for Mortal Kombat as an idea, but I can’t be the only one who is *exhausted* by the fatalities at this point, right? The trailer had me until it got MK 11 levels of gross. That’s probably on me for hoping they would rethink how the gore is portrayed.

The movie industry is FULL of middle-ground movies, we just ignore them because they don’t get heavily marketed. Same with games. The gaming industry is FULL of middle-ground games that even win top awards, we just ignore them because they don’t get heavily marketed.

Tried the prompt in SDXL Beta and holy crap, this went off the rails.

Are modern journalists plain evil, trying to rage bait ignorant folk, or are they ignorant themselves?

AI chat bots are essentially search engines with a speech pattern. It is as easy to google Napalm Ingridients. The AI isn’t hacking some top secret database to find out the receipe... The AI isn’t “thinking it out…

You can 4k with a RTX 2060 if you don’t mind not playing at 1000000000000 fps.

The argument for staying with console gaming just got stronger... 

“Budget.”

It’s more a solid 6 or 7 out of 10 post-patches. Some really good stuff and still so much frustratingly mediocre-to-bad stuff.

It’s less Nvida (though they’re fucking outrageous with their prices right now) and more that frankly....RTX still isn’t worth the performance hit.

Am I wrong for thinking that the RTX off - at least in that video - looks better? I get the desire for better, realistic lighting but RTX on just makes everything look blurry.

I watched four episodes before deciding I really couldn’t be bothered with it. I wanted to like it, especially in the face of the racist and sexist faux-outrage, but I just couldn’t get past the corny dialogue and the daft Irish accents for the Harfoots, as well as the occasional really janky CGI.

So everyone’s cool with Activision again now?

The Police are a waste of resources regardless what they do tho

Too bad everything but the visuals was basically dog shit for well over a year and reputations linger.
