Yes, multiple. What you’re describing is a semi-hardcore sim, so something like Rogue System:

What exactly are Bungie’s development teams making? The company has 600 employees, I’m assuming a few of those hundreds are involved in making the game. What exactly do these hundreds of people do?

Sample of one: I bought a PS4 for a number of games of course, but ultimately it was Horizon that pushed me over the edge. To this day I’ve been very careful to buy only Playstation exclusives, and by keeping my PS purchases on a moderate delay I not only got the games cheaper but was easily able to avoid anything…

They won’t have a choice. Microsoft’s service is coming very soon, Google (as misshapen as Stadia is) is already here. They need to make PS Now work or they’re fucked in the long term, and they’re not dumb enough not to know that. The recent price change and performance improvements tell me they are at least working…

Imagine finally getting Bloodborne at a fixed 60fps? One can dream...

His supporters wouldn’t believe it. Anything, anything at all that might suggest that this waste of carbon molecules is in any way less than a perfect man and president is a lie and they don’t believe it. It’s probably something made up by the liberal press and the elites. They wouldn’t believe it if he himself told…

The point of the article is sort of that crunch is a cultural problem in the industry, and moving around release dates doesn’t really have anything to do with it.

At least CD Projekt Red pays for overtime (thanks to Polish labor laws)

This. Failure is always no more than a temporary setback, and the games that can make that setback as temporary as possible are usually seen to be better (Super Meat Boy’s instant death recoveries for example). The real goal is always total success, and any failures are disregarded as - in the words of Sands of Time -…

That implies Cecilia would be happy to dump video games and go into, say, competitive butter sculpture if she saw that all her friends did it, which I can’t help but find at least slightly disparaging.

I admit I’d find it less weird, yes. May be bias on my end, or a generational thing like franckv says; I’m not a ‘multiplayer hater’ for example (the current wave of battle royales is quite up my alley, much more than MOBAs were), but I do find both regular sports and esports... ephemeral.

Uh, Persona 5 on the PC for that matter?

Many adults lose touch with core gaming even against their wishes, simply due to lack of time, and essentially leave the core gamer community - modern games still require a massive time commitment compared to most other forms of entertainment. Whereas of course there’s never a lack of children coming into it fresh.

Excellent. Yeah yours would be AW3418DW then, that one was pretty much the best on the market until the 20 came out like two months ago. Very nice.

At this point in time I find it completely plausible that, if humans don’t land on Mars before The Winds of Winter, at least we’ll certainly have a functioning Mars colony before A Dream of Spring.

I feel like this is maybe kind of a metaphor for something.

...Another reason these debates repeat and persist is because video games is a space that both the creators and the consumers enter and leave with a frightening turnover rate. Every five years there’s a new generation of both, ready to fight all the same old battles while the rest of us look on and feel so, so tired.

Was it the AW3420DW? I’m considering that one myself at the moment. What’s the IPS glow like?
