“it’s going to be an open world action RPG”

Don’t people pay extra for curved devices these days:

New recruit at Nintendo repair center:

Is this the curved screen stuff Samsung is trying to sell us?

I’ve never ridden a subway in NYC, so I don’t know how common this is. But putting your bare feet on one of those seats has to be gross right? Seems gross.

It’s difficult to proofread your own work; your brain fills in gaps because you know what you intended to write.

Maybe it’s because I’m not obsessed with high-end graphics like some people, but I can barely tell the difference. Honestly, I feel life is a lot easier when you don’t feel the need to buy a $400 video card or a new tv just to see a game look slightly prettier. In my mind’s eye it would still look the same. It just…

I can’t speak for anybody else, but the flood of crap has definitely turned me off. I used to browse periodically through categories that interested me and look for games that seemed fun - particularly at sale time. These days, though, I pretty much don’t even try. Unless I see a glowing review from someone I trust,…

Those games you mention actually look worse at higher resolutions, because the “cleaner presentation” actually makes surfaces flatter and reveal some of the illusions hidden behind the 320x240 pixels.

Because some people buy reviews with free keys to make a shit game seem good? Because (at least back in greenlight’s days) a good game would be lost in the flood of trash and never get the votes it needed to be greenlit? Because it’s harder to find a gem of a game the more trash you have to sift through to even see it?

Not all games. For older games that don’t have complex shaders, high resolution textures, or huge details in the background, it can actually not be a significant step up from 1080p or even 720p to 4k. The quality of the assets determine where the point of diminishing returns is. After that it’s just anti aliasing.

I always laugh at these statements. Never gonna happen. I expect Half Life 3 before that happens.

really?....sorry, but AM2R was a pretty bland experience.

I’m sorry, but I have to laugh at the idea of putting the creator of AM2R, a very average indie game cobbled together out of ripped graphics and parts from official Metroid games which came out less polished than one in the end, on the same level as Igarashi. That’s one of the most delusional things I’ve read in…

That’s because insofar as the level design and gameplay are explicitly positioned as satire, neither hold up. A shitty level making fun of other shitty levels is still... well, a shitty level.

Actually a pretty solid technique if someone is willing to be the distraction.

Did he donate any of the money from the eBay sale to the Disabled Veteran’s Thrift Store?
