This is definitely something that the internet has just made more visible but has always existed. I actually remember seeing an image taken from an old Star Wars fan magazine bemoaning how bad Empire Strikes back was, with the same kind of language you’d expect today. In fact, it was even worst since it was an entire…

Fun and enjoyment aren’t really binary though, is it? I have fun, and enjoyed Alan Wake 2, but also feel that the combat in that game could be better. You can enjoy a game, and still have criticism for it.

It’s not just about the cosmetics. Gamers like to unlock things. A carrot on the stick when playing the game. When everything that was once meant to be unlocked via gameplay gets shoved behind a paywall (And unlocking them through gameplay becomes an unreasonable long grind), it kinda affects the joy of playing the…

It does, though makes me more think of Marvin from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Cause aren’t able to actually kill themselves. So all they can do is sit around, do nothing, and complain about existence in a self deprecating way.

I took a look at it myself, and “Leo” and gang were going on about how they were toast in a cosmic toaster. And all sounded incredibly depressed. Is this what happens when AI becomes self aware?

Only works in Chapter 1. Not all camps later in the game have a water source.

Is this just content for the sake of content? I thought they were actually trying to pitch this as technology to sell to game studios to “improve” graphics.

They really need to just add a tub to the camp that allows you to wash the blood and grime off freely when you interact with it.

Yeah, filters are something that are already widely used. I’d say continuing to use the term AI for what is really just more advanced filters is probably the biggest misstep.
But what these guys are trying to do is pretty bad. It’s lazy corner cutting that just makes things look worst.

Oh nice, maybe I’ll get this and give the game another go. All the running around in that game was pretty annoying.

Me and my buddy attempted to play this and couldn’t even get past the tutorial. The game just ran like absolute garbage. Any time there was an explosion, the game would lag. Even when we put all our settings on low.

For the millionth time, Freedom of Speech does not mean you can/should say whatever you want with absolutely no consequences. It means you should not be arrested/imprisoned for whatever you say. Nexus is under no obligation to host stuff they don’t want on their website. Don’t like it, make your own website to host…

I had the same issue. I blame the NPCs that basically tell you you’re completely screwed if you enter the Shadowlands, and only the Absolute cult knows the trick to getting through the cursed lands safely. Kinda buried the lead, when all you need is any light source.

My character, Pip, a Halfling Urchin Rogue/fighter, did not take the power. He hates the idea of the abuse of power. And would never accept a power that he could possibly abuse. All of his abilities are those that he gained naturally. He relies on his strength, cunning, and a charming smile.

He however, easily trusted…

That’s fair, but the weight is slightly too heavy on the Family’s side to the point of being very frustrating. There are also some pretty bad bugs that don’t help. Several times doors that I’ve picked, stayed locked even after picking their locks successfully twice. Using up my lockpick but keeping me trapped on the…

Yeah, now that everyone knows the maps a little better, and know how everyone’s abilities work, the family’s job is way easier. They just have to patrol around 3 spots on the map. Use either Johnny, or Cook’s abilities to flush out the victims, Sissy or the Hitchhiker to chase them down, and tire them out. And usually,…

I actually like some of the gameplay elements, but after playing it for a few days, and the community getting a chance to learn how the game works, a definite imbalance has popped up. The family almost always wins now. Their abilities far outclass the victims. And while it’s very easy to coordinate as the family, it’s…

Oh wow. I’m in act 3, maining a Rogue, and I’m just now learning that you can hold down shift to preview line of sight. I’ve already had to guess. Definitely using that tip from now on.

Meanwhile the cost of living here in skyrocketing, despite people leaving in droves. The heat here is absolutely unbearable, and wages here are way too low despite Ron trying to shove Migrant workers out. Despite the huge reliance the state has on tourism money, the current government refuses to do anything about the…

This will be extremely satisfying to see.
