Square Enix feels like it's a top down management approach.  Biggest difference is that in the past Square set the trends, now they follow them. "kids like action, no turn based or parties" "someone make us a souls game! Those are popular right?"

You know what’s more akin to a landed gentry? Corporate CEOs. The Reddit employees didn’t vote you, ya dickwad (insert Monty python reference).

Thank you! You nailed my biggest gripes with Both those games! I love how unique and fun each area of older Zelda looked and played. The Dungeons while improved over BOTW still feel the same. Also those shrines suck. I hate the Proving shrines.

I’m still not sold on the sequel yet, I can’t really put my finger on why, but I need to read/see more.

Am looking forward to seeing this story get wrapped up, and delighted they have been given the space to do so. Genuinely think this show has been a dark horse for one of the best (animated) shows of the last 10, 15 years. Certainly the best nobody watched.

You’re missing the bigger picture. Both procedural generation and AI generation are automation tools. Procedural generation is capable of producing far more content in a much shorter amount of time than any human can, hence my No Man’s Sky example.

I feel like a lot of people really don’t understand the point of machine-generated (e.g. procedural or AI) content. The goal isn’t to replace humans. It’s to expand the scope of a game within the constraints of its budget. Without automation, the machine-generated content wouldn’t be replaced with human-generated…

Don’t get me wrong, it’s good that you both highlight crap studio choices and go to bat for human creators. However, I (seemingly) disagree with you on the “big picture”.

A return to form? Bumblebee is right there.

You seem to not understand how the market works. Nobody WANTS to lower their prices. However, as Jeff Bezos says “Your margin is my opportunity”. This will also benefit Indy devs. Just think how much more you can get done as a single developer with this! AAA games will need to justify their $70 price compared over a…

I hope we see some Control tie-ins, just like we had the Wake-focused AWE DLC for Control.

I think mostly it's a combination of a *really* fucking cool art style paired with the disappointment of it being an extraction shooter

I hear that the long-term contract he had to sign says he’ll be making these movies ‘til the end of time.

I really can’t stand these “prestige” games.  They all feel the same to me.  I miss the kind of games that Sony used to make.

The fact that someone said “wait, why does a cruise ship need laightsaber training?” instead if just tossing it in there, is a great example of Disney’s attention to details.

The unfortunately reality is that we live in a society where everyone under the age of 25 is content-brained. What this means is, they have to record literally ANYTHING that could translate to views or likes in hopes of getting that tiny dopamine hit because they got 75k views and 30k likes on a Tik Tok or Tweet they…

To say S11 is the end of the golden era is waaaay too late. Personally, I place it exactly at the second half of the Tamzarian episode.

Eh, it’s been done
