Ahh yes, the “Everyone is breaking the rules, so no one should be punished for it” defense.  Simple rule, if you’re going for something that involves recognition and attention like a World First, don’t use a third party program to do it.  Earn it legitimately.

I mean, its not a defect, its an intended design.  The encounter is designed with a specific amount of visibility available, extending your camera further out is effectively the same as wallhacking: you are using a third party program to see stuff you aren’t supposed to see at the same time.

It’s crazy that japenese porn blurs out pussies yet Ted Cruz’s face is allowed to be freely published in its natural state.

Struggling to get 30 series? The market is absolutely flooded with cheap 3070s, 3080s, and 3090s.

The only other company I trust for GPUs is Sapphire, so this probably pushes me to AMD in the future.  

I wonder if the potential loss in sales is the worth the potential boost in exposure. Surely developers know that handing out keys to random, unverified curators will result in many of those keys being sold or traded. However, they keep handing them out regardless. They must believe that the increased exposure will…

‘bad indie games’ don’t have a modding scene with hundreds of thousands of mods
tbh most of your comment is just hate-talk. You don’t like crafting? Cool, you don’t have to do it. Repetitive dungeons and fetch quests? Sure, you can mod in some pretty awesome new ones. The combat seems awful? Tons of mods can fix that

You know what sucks? Working a 12 hour day on freelance rates to single-handedly run a website, and spending most of that time trying to highlight unknown indie games, to then find the only comment under a review of a properly great game deserving of wide attention is some sneering wankery complaining about a slightly…

So we have Sora...again.

Its crazy how game devs can release a game in a long running franchise and remove basic functions that then takes them “months” to restore.

That’s just not true. It’s A reason, of course. But for most people:

You can rightly argue that less competition will result in a general negative impact on the market over time, but this will almost certainly result in a net positive for the industry at least in the short term, if only because Xbox under Phil Spencer has been one of the most consumer friendly game companies out there…

You can write a great personal recommendation for a game without resorting to a title clearly written to piss people off. 

Metroid Dread NOT a showstopper? I think we exist in different realities. Pretty much everyone went nuts at its reveal. 15 years of rumours, 19 years after Metroid 4. The shortest of YouTube searches will tell the tale. Yes, this was strong of Sony (and my dusty PS5 is looking for a disc to penetrate its drive), but…

I’m guessing the difference in cost between what they’ll spend for the ‘22 and how much they can make off the ‘21 is less than they would have spent in nation-wide advertising which is essentially what this is now.

This is egregious how? Employees breaking legally binding contracts and performing what could be considered corporate espionage? So I can go leak covid vaccine information on various public figures in the US “given the scope of things?” To say it’s something so petty underscores the effort of the 400 employees of TPC…

They should have thought about that before breaking their NDAs, frankly. Stupid is as stupid does. Furthermore, when a court garnishes wages, they consider an individual’s monthly expenses and income. Yes, money will be tighter for them, but they only have themselves to blame. They basically have a second mortgage…

Just don’t leak the information then?

It’s really hard to keep secrets the more people that get involved.
