This is really reminiscent of the E3 2015 trailer for HZD, with the scripted encounters and the non-game voiceover (and a callback to the amusing “one fire arrow to the weak spot kills the big bad”). So if they’re in a similar point in the dev process... that was June 2015. A year and a half before release. So...…

Edit: all my info is wrong. Ignore me.

Non-whitebread-english languages were apparently lost with APOLLO. Because for all the high ideals, they still only raised the kids with one language for the caretakers.

... it’s literally just a starting guide, and is hardly gushing. The official Kotaku review wasn’t particularly great either.

<.< At risk of being sentenced to horny jail myself...

The line seems to be “likenesses of real people”, because that’s where the *legal* line for underage pornography is.

I’m sorry, but comparing a “single kiss to break a curse” to “glorifying racist stereotypes” is an Olympic level reach.

I mean, the ending (and leadup to ending) IS a large part of it, and I could rant about that for a while by itself. But unrelated other complaints... well, multiple decisions-from-on-high hobbled the design. Example of decisions made for management reasons:

The right way to handle their desired changes would be to put a minimum stop-point on the sliders for dev and humble. People would have understood that, and had little or no problem with it. But no, they got *greedy* and probably permanently damaged their whole brand. GG ZD.

The tool’s nifty, but I still can’t get hype. ME3 may never earn my forgiveness. (and no, not just the controversial ending)

Pre-alpha, track inversion crashes the build or something, I bet. XD

It almost looks like the different cars have unique abilities. That would make for an interesting twist.

I really need to play this game again

What’s depressing is... that 50% I think makes them quite a bit better than most major game companies.

Correction: Public companies exist to make a SHORT TERM profit FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS. Just working for “profit” would include long-term planning and structuring, which our late-capitalist economy discourages.

You seem to have confused the very legally different terms “copyright” and “trademark”

Moralizing is the new/old shortcut to letting people feel superior to someone else.

Incels have a new alliance with religious puritans apparently

Or you can just make donations yourself without giving ZD a free tax writeoff.

15% is “a convenient amount for us to use your money to write off on OUR taxes”
