Before the time of social media and hype building, there were thousands, maybe millions of games that got cancelled with no one knowing. These things happen in the industry all the time. Sometimes things get to ambitious or sometimes new feature meant to sell the game turn out to not be fun. It sucks for the people…

Also the article writer is just crying over stuff that literally have sliders to adjust to your level of wanted grind. Crank everything if it’s to slow or boring so you can get all the goods quickly or down if you want an even harder experience

So let me start by saying that you arent wrong at all. But there’s also the point of not carrying dead weight when you don’t need it. Microsoft is a large and successful company for many reasons so it’s logical to say they wouldn’t keep people employed just for the sake of having them around. This industry has tons of…

Feel bad for the people it impacts, but keep in mind that most of these 2200 were contract workers. We are seeing more and more layoffs in this industry because more and more people are entering it as contractors. When the projects are done, the contractors get the boot. It’s a silly way to do things, as you don’t…

Oh it’s not just environment assets. Even game mechanics were direct use of blueprint bundles from the store. That include the “survival mechanics”, inventory system, even the menus and multiplayer/network systems, or the base building mechanics.

Hell, the funniest is game’s project name was the default name for a $65…

Yeah, Valve stopped the sale of CS2 keys on the SCM a while back.

Difference here is that Valve, at least seems to be a good employer/company. Can only remember like one story about a disgruntled x-employee from them in the past 10 years. Compared to other big game companies that regularly screw over their peons with crunch, bad wages and layoffs to appease the all important share…

“Honestly, it’s a miracle we ever got Half-Life: Alyx.”  Is it?

if you turned 360 degrees, you would be going right back towards the console.. you would have to turn 180 degrees

Joker has definitely been a member of the Squad, that aside, his story in this is he’s the last survivor on his world, and he’s from his world’s version of Taskforce X.

Good traversal can absolutely be a key selling point. Spider-Man, Assassin’s Creed, Just Cause 4, Sunset Overdrive and Batman: Arkham Knight are all games where just getting from A to B can be as much fun as the mission-based content.

Can I get to an ending without playing with anyone online? If not, then it’s not a game I want to play.

So horribly exploitive, using your platform and power to help people see or give people water. Just the worst.

“I’d like to not have to think about MrBeast anymore”

> like positive and negative charges repelling each other.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about the wizard game anywhere other than gaming sites, meanwhile I still see korok memes several times a week, and BG3 several times a day. People seem to care more about those games.

“Does big tech think video game characters only exist to waste our time?”

Alpha Protocol has some relatively significant changes, and Tyranny has whole areas that are different based on choices you’ve made, but Jerykk is right — it’s not really feasible for a video game to do what you’re suggesting, outside of very small titles. They’d bankrupt themselves with all the extra money they’d…

Did I miss it or has Kotaku not covered MatPat’s retirement. For a site that seems to give us a ton of coverage of streamers who sell their bath water and vagina beer, it’s odd that a huge YouTube celeb stepping down didnt even warrant a short write up. Maybe he should have sold his bath water

We adapt.
