“removing it would basically ruin the game’s integral design”

Should casinos be outlawed because some people have an addiction to gambling? There are lots of alcoholics out there, should we re-ban alcohol to protect them from themselves?

maaaaaaaan played the original on the Sega Genesis and the original sequel Fade 2 Black on the PC.  good times!

*Bracing for shitstorm of hate*

I mean... the expense is one reason: you could buy a Series X (assuming you could find one) and a fairly barebones PC for your day-to-day PC use and still not come close to the expense of buying (or building) a PC comparable to a Series X. Not to mention people (like me) who just don’t like PC gaming - I just don’t…

Focusing on 4K is a colossal waste. Focus on framerates, more complex simulations, higher player counts, ANYTHING but fucking 4K. Breath of the Wild looks just fine on my 4K set thanks to decent upscaling, and I would be perfectly contented if the next Switch remained a 1080p system.

“Essentially every business resells their products,” said Jordan. “Tesco, for example, buys milk from farmers for 26p or so per litre and sells it on for upwards of 70p per litre. No one ever seems to complain to the extent as they are currently doing towards ourselves.”

The milk wholesaler adds value by making the milk much easier for consumers to get. It gets the milk from farms all over the place and moves it to a convenient marketplace. They earn their markup by adding value.

PA had far better one earlier in the week.

I disagree, sort of. From an EA higher-up perspective very much yes, but the vibe I get here is that this is a very small, crew and budget-constrained project and the team need to pick their battles.

Yeah, I’d probably make the same decision. A camera change is probably both cheaper and safer to do and allows you to close out the “Do something about awkward animations in cutscenes” ticket in JIRA and move on to more important stuff.

They’re selling you ME1 for 10$, ME2+DLCs for 20$ and ME3+DLCs for 30$. How the plonk is this “for the money”? The more I think of it, the more it feels like a fucking gift, especially when it comes from EA, which is notorious for it’s monetization schemes.

I would think that updating Fem Sheps model and tweaking the Mako, among other things, is more than simply “for the money.”

It requires a new animation that doesn’t exist in the game files. So first they’d need to get an animator on it, then submit the files. Assuming they can still use the old Unreal 3 Engine to do that in the first place. Animation software tools have updated since then, so there could be a comparability issue, but then…

I mean, two things:

There seems to be an implication from the developers that the Mass Effect games (like many large games that are released) rely a bit more on band-aids, hopes and dreams to keep them running and it doesn’t sound like they have time or budget to go into decade old animation systems to make changes (and make sure it…

Written like someone who has never played the games!

It was pretty funny I thought, with some tragic elements. It wasn’t perfect, but as someone in recovery I have to say I loved it’s depiction of substance abuse as a symptom of trauma, much more realistic and compassionate. Same with The Queens Gambit, you know both women are not magically cured of their demons with…

Preach to this: I backed all of the Shadowrun games on Kickstarter, and I can say that each was fantastic and kept on being better with each stage of new game.

definitely trying to take sting out of the price hike ‘cause they usually release these 1 or 2 days before the new month.
