the outriders numbers are also from 4 months out (august 2021) and that was with outriders being on gamepass day one. the fact that a new IP managed to pull numbers close to a tentpole title while also having the sales disadvantage of being on gamepass day one should mean that it did well. While merchandising could…

Tell us, then. Tell us what NFTs are good for.

“One of the biggest things that NFT’s are great for are online digital contracts”

Preservation nightmare? There are so many great apps that simply won’t run on newer versions of iOS because they haven’t been updated. Some of them are paid apps. Either apps are left to rot and stop working, the developers delist the games when they don’t intend to support them anymore, or... you update them…

IMO singleplayer (and coop) games embracing:

I think the problem with this video isn’t that the author is wrong about the issues of digital ownership and the many red tape involved before an artist can sell their work making it difficult to earn a living as an artist, but that so much of his response in favor of NFTs is focus more on “potential” rather than…

I’m not Paresh but I am an expert with a very high IQ so I can confirm that Q and John Titor are the same person. In the 2030s, just as Paresh predicts, Sky Mavis revolutionizes human civilization by skipping Web3 to create WebInfinity. One of the features of WebInfinity is the Reverse Polarity Blockchain. The RPB…

Found the kool aid drinker.

It sure is

I had a twitter argument with an NFTsimp (SimpFT? hmm needs workshopping) the other day, who made the point that when you buy music on Apple Music, you’re just licensing it, and you can only use it when Apple lets you.

Uhhh is this 2010? Apple stopped putting DRM on music purchases ages ago, download them and do what…

PC evangelists are almost as annoying as NFT evangelists

Sorry, but this is just... kinda dumb.
Hurr-durr I teleported to the very end of the game, new world record!!1!
As a purely technical achievement, sure. But that makes it no different from say, finding a glitch that instantly goes to the end credits, NEW WORLD RECORD! Like, who actually cares - from a gamer’s…

I agree with all of this. Asking whether Max Payne is deserving of a remake is one thing, but classics from that era are definitely deserving of remakes in general.

I use a map too but just so i dont miss hard to see things like dungeons. I am an older adult without much gaming time anymore in my life. I like to save mins where I can while still enjoying the experience.

Resident Evil and Final Fantasy were mentioned on the outset, but to me those are examples of when the remake system works well. Both cover classic stories from a new perspective, arguably letting them live up to a more immersive potential than they could back when ‘high drama’ was a stocky, blocky Cloud shaking his…

Man, sure are a lot of quests with obscure requirements and triggers to keep track of. If only I had some sort of “quest record” or “quest log” to organize that information and help me make sure I don’t miss any crucial details. But surely such a feature must be technologically unfeasible—otherwise games would have…

But after he became human he wouldn’t speak to me and then after I rested he DIED. I was fucking fuming, why in the ass would that be how his quest ends if you follow that path? Why wouldn’t he speak to me? Why did he randomly die? load of crap.

Wild. This is almost nonstop praise with roughly three sentences of criticism gently couched in credit to the series’ originality and of course the top comment is “Well someone who *loves* the series loves it with no reservations whatsoever”.

It was understandable when the game first came out.
It was still understandable a few days after the game came out.
But day after day after day after day... it gets a bit stale.
Particularly when it’s just a bunch of insignificant “fluff” pieces.
