You have to dodge the telegraphed attacks. And not just using the dodge button, like when you see him charging the big strike literally stop attacking and walk out of the clearly marked attack zone.

Go read your shacknews link again. At no point do they say they won’t make Bethesda games exclusive. “Encourage cross-platform play play” is not the same as “we’ll keep all their games multi-platform”. Like I said you’re imagining context.

Also you’re just ignoring scenarios, like with the scenario of Starfield taking…

The funny part is how they were talking about the focus helping FF16 run better because its just one platform. And I just don’t think hitting 720p to maintain 60 fps is the ideal metric for single platform excellence.

Nah the Spider-Man one in particular is an apt comparison. Spider-Man as a brand had been multiplat for ages. It’s also a character everyone has had access to for ages through cartoons, movies, toys, comics et al, so then locking it down to exclusivity kind of sucks. Especially when at the time it was Sony hiring a…

Regarding the streaming stick, in the Decoder interview Phil mentioned that was off the cards for a while. Mostly because of price, they want a certain level of local hardware available, coupling that with a controller, and they just arent able to hit that price point with profitability at this point. Which is why…

Yeah but it works pretty good in a lot of other places. I dont understand why US internet sucks so bad for streaming games, but I’m out here in Africa with slow and expensive internet and I’ve streameda few titles where the lag is imperceptible. I suspect its a thing that affects big cities worse in US, but thats a…

Since Microsoft has never made a blanket statement that they’re not going to make any games exclusive, the ping pong is really just imaginery.

Nah brunerlite was right and your reading comprehension just sucks. Both of the article, and of bruner’s reply to you. You’re adding in so much imaginery context.

IIRC they didn’t turn down Spider-Man, they were approached with the same kind of deal where they could pick anything. But its not the same one for one with Sony. MS still wouldn’t own the rights to the IP, so choosing not to develop someone else’s IP makes sense. Whereas Sony has some ownership with Spider-Man so…

Games like Until Dawn or Death Stranding are a different situation because Sony paid to have those games made

I acutally think this can be kind of worse in many circumstances. These indie studios build games for Sony and then the thing they are most known for they never own. That’s kind of sad. I was really happy…

And? That fact simply does nothing for any of the arguments here.

He could be an AI technician if he is for example training the AI on datasets generated from his own art. Which is a valid method of training AI visual models. But until we see the behind the scenes that shows that, I don’t think they deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Yeah I really thought it fit with the themes of the show. I have a lot of problems with AI, but I also want to see behind the scenes here and see how much original work was put in to generate this work.

I regulalry watch openings for every episode, especially now that many streamers seperate the recap skip and intro skip as two distinct prompts.

Yeah it really can pan out differently for everyone. In my situation my partner and I are quite intentional about when we’re spending time together vs when we’re ust hanging out. And if we’re hanging out she is usually streaming a show and I am playing games. When I was WFH I made a concerted effort to move my gaming…

My bet is that I think its probably even less players who buy cosmetics in general. When you have a free to play game it will always be the minority of players who buy into any of the premium features. I’ll be interested to see how it pans out.

Yeah but Elon’s idea of bloat was removing the actual technical and support staff that held the darn thing together. We cant look at the example of an idiot doing something and say “see it doesnt work”. It is possible to be thoughtful about how you approach a task.

“You just want your free stuff forever” wasnt an argument I made. So aside from making up stuff to just argue for the sake of.

So Valve’s battle passes do work differently from most. At least up until 2019 when I stopped playing Dota. You’ve always been able to buy the items in the Battle Pass directly. But paying the bare minimum allows people to basically get a handful of cosmetics to the value of that bare minimum, and then grind for…

Valve aren’t being outright about it. They’re just tired of working as hard (I’m joking... kind of). Other factors are that the community that produces the cosmetics are being burnt out too as Valve has found ways to pay them less and less over time. Even the reasons they’ve given for the Battle Pass don’t line up…
