Is it though? Is it really worth the time, money and manpower to develop a system to prevent a small minority of players from cheating in a game knowing full well that they will eventually find a way to circumvent the system anyway?

Another way to avoid cheating would be to put your software on a device that’s not essentially an 8-year-old tablet that’s been cracked to hell and back and is incredibly easy to program and run custom user-made code on, but hey- it’s still selling so that’s not gonna happen.

For what its worth, I havent played or really looked at either before now, and I’m far more interested in Vampire Survivor than Jurassic World after being shown what both entail. JWE2 seems like a very high quality game, I’m just not into business management sims.

Not sure what Game Pass you’re talking about but in just this year the PC Game Pass has added:

Welcome to the wonderful world of AAA game development. It’s egos all the way up.

Was really hoping to see Sports Story in today’s show since it’s been about a year since the last real update on the game. Oh well. It’ll be ready when it’s ready, I suppose.

Sure, They said they shared the rule with the teams beforehand. Unfortunately from the audience perspective, there’s no way of knowing whether that’s true or just a damage control statement to avoid the bad PR that comes with making new rules mid-match.

This week in competitive gaming:

Oh, don’t worry. I’m sure humanity is perfectly capable of coming together and beating a deadly disease provided that the disease provides an immediate visible threat to every individual person and the benefits of the proposed solution are immediately apparent to everyone participating in it.

“What people want” is literally the main thing that has prevented the known solution from working.

Oh look, the players who play that fighting game that’s marketed as a party game, has no proper netcode, no online ranking system, and an “official” competitive ruleset that had to be created and implemented entirely by fans are surprised that the creators of the game don’t care about competitive play again.

I’m a Moira main so I guess I can’t complain too much but I have noticed an OVERWHELMING number of gloryhog DPS players who want to run off and try to solo entire teams by themselves.

I think it’s always been pretty clear that they don’t value their western IP nearly as much as the Japanese properties.

I make minimum wage, have two kids and can’t even afford to own/drive a vehicle but it’s good to know that being able to save up $400/500 over the course of a 1.5/2 years to buy a video game console qualifies me for “middle class”.

It was definitely the most bitter brand of tragedy I’ve ever experienced in a video game.

Yeah, I’ll agree with the “VR is the future of gaming” loons being a little overzealous about the importance of the tech but I’ll add to the objections on VR being a “niche toy for the wealthy”. I’m definitely what you’d call “bottom bracket” and I have a Quest 2. It didn’t cost me any more than any other game console…

They don’t. Each game should have a different achievement list. There are a few achievements in the new one that are the same as the original and acquired the same way since the entire original game is still present in the new one.

That was the original game. This is a new release. A separate game. So the clock starts now. See you in 10 years!

“Not quite a remaster, never a remake, Sonic Origins is a collection of older games compiled...”

Not quite sure where all the “same old re-release” negativity is coming from. These are definitely fully-featured remasters built using the same engine as Sonic Mania and the Sonic CD remaster.
