“Though, if you have to have a postmortem after every major release, maybe those postmortems aren’t working as intended.”
This shows you don’t really know how development works. I do post-mortems after every sprint. There’s always things to improve, and having regular dedicated meetings to identify them is essential.… Read more

I bet a lot of the stuff that makes traversal easier won’t be available until late in the game.
yeah, and in three years these 1tb drives will probably cost $100 or less, while history shows proprietary memory tends to stay expensive longer.
in reality people will look up drive suggestions on digital foundry and watch a youtube tutorial, it’s not that big of a deal. it’s no more complicated than swapping drives on a PS3 or PS4.
I stand by Wet as a game that had crazy potential and was just a bit ahead of it's time mechanically. We see lots of acrobatic shooters these days from Titanfall to Ghostrunner. With a bit of more polish and a better story, it could've been a great of the era.
yeah, this is exactly why valve cracking down on this is necessary. it is more insulting than piracy as a developer imo.
It doesn’t, but it at least prevents the game from being totally lost when it’s delisted. If people begin returning to physical copies, in 10 years there will be more floating around, keeping games accessible in some form if this does happen.
Same shortage but because of crypto, legitimate businesses that need beefy hardware, etc. there is exponentially higher demand for PC parts.
All I'm saying is it is harder to get gpus than consoles, not that getting consoles is easy. The last word on my post does a lot of heavy lifting too - I know a few people that have struggled to get ps5s as well
I got a PS5 the day after preorders went up, and the majority of friends who want a PS5 have them. I haven’t been able to get a GPU and don't know anyone who has that paid MSRP for one. Cards seem much harder to get than consoles, anecdotally.
This is why I've gone back to buying physical whenever I can.
Agreed, the lack of anything comparable to tempered monsters and that whole endgame loop is really disappointing. It's frustrating that the game was released incomplete and everyone is acting like it's fine
On the flip side, this is the easiest MH game to date t the point where everything but endgame bosses are boring and I’ve already fallen off it after 40 hours when I normally put 100+ into each one
I didn't like the spitmaw initially but in 4-6 with some range upgrades it can one shot most smaller enemies and staggers big ones nicely
Yeah hollowseeker with portal laser and serrated projectiles is my favorite
This whole year was backlog month, up until Returnal came out. I managed to finish Doom Eternal, 13 Sentinels, Nier Automata, The Outer Worlds, Armored Core 2, and Celeste as well as play a whole bunch of retro games to the point where I’m done playing them, if not completed. Plus a rerun of Resident Evil 7 before… Read more
Note this only applies to pc games released through the windows store. Sony and Nintendo probably won't feel too pressured here. Platform holders put in a lot more investment to set up consoles than they do pc storefronts so I'd be surprised if they ever take less than 20%
Respectfully, it is clear you’ve never ran a playtesting session for a game. If you knew how valuable playtesting data actually was, you wouldn’t have this stance. Read more
“What else is there? Let’s see more reliance on windshield-style environmental effects. Like more blood spattering. More cracked glass. More fog from heavy breathing. Let us fully look at our arms and legs to see clues to our body state. Flip my entire HUD’s color theme to red when I’m in a critical state, instead of… Read more
That’s definitely a reason I don’t go quite that far back in my retro gaming haha. It can be a problem even with more recent games than that too though. I’ve been going through From Software’s PS1 and PS2 games, and they do not use the right analog stick for camera movement. Looking up and down are mapped to L2/R2,… Read more
