Some poor soul that gets paid 70c an hour to be screamed at to make these faster probably just lost their job. 

That’s your take though, I read the “Better than CP2077" article, got the game, and have been loving it so far. Are there issues? Yeah for sure, like quests that are inexplicably level gated. The top down cover based combat is still fantastic, the view is gorgeous, and some of the characters are actually interesting.…

It looks like they took to Google translate for all of the Korean in the game. It also looks like all of the flipped textures are applied to signs that have/could have two sides, so they’re probably just mirrored on both sides (very common when modelling things that have two sides).

Regardless, if I was making a game…

This is cancer at every level. Firing your 10% least productive rather than supporting them to improve? Cancer. Firing people based on an analysis of a vague ‘engagement’ dataset rather than far more obtainable and reliable metrics/performance reviews? Cancer. Firing people for input rather than output, basing the…

That assumes you have your original phone, that you haven’t purchased a new phone because your old phone was stolen/lost/crushed/dropped in a toilet.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thought this. Wide brim hat? Postmodern gay witch outfit? PIERCING GAZE? This had to be a conscious development decision.

Oh no did the bad words hurt you?

They don’t really release exclusives because people like it. They do it to sell consoles. 

Paragraph long comment created out of an inexplicable desire to respond with an unbidden opinion that will sit at the bottom of the comments, unread and un-recommended.

I honestly think these simple measures are pretty close to perfect. I don’t think it’s particularly evil to buy just one of a thing to resell it later. While it’s a little sketchier to be doing it for an item that’s hard to find at launch, plenty of collectors buy just one of a thing and wait until it becomes…

I wonder if this has any connection to the Dr. Disrespect scandal from 2019. Part of it might be putting ‘approved by us’ and ‘unofficial’ labels on streamers to avoid getting flak, and put legal distance, from bad behavior acted out by more off color streamers.

Extraction marks the THIRD L4D-like game to be mentioned this week, and I’m not mad. Excited to see all of the takes on it.

Also happy to see more games (Rider Republic) taking on the unlimited party paradise fantasy theme, much like Forza Horizon has been doing. It’s really fun, dumb, good escapism to chill for a…

The design intent makes sense, level discrepancy is used to control how the world is doled out, helping guide the player down a linear story in an open world without actually physically gating it. It also makes it feel like the numbers going up actually do something.

Making the numbers explicit makes sense because the…

Bless and damn you for this link, I was was up until 5am reading up on these fantastic scandals.

Fuck yeah you made it! This is by far the scariest part, and while there are a couple more spooky sections the rest of a game should be a breeze if you made it through this. 

I so deeply relate to all of this. I really like horror games but I often can’t get far in them because of anxiety. RE8 won’t be the first RE game I’ve tried, but it’ll be the first that I finish, I’m halfway through the factory now.

This statement contains no praise, it’s a fact. Pirates (+ modders, fan devs) are often the only people archiving old games.

You have to remember this demo is layering on top of an existing engine. If in the near future the AI is built into the game engine you can just create simple collision meshes in the right shape (the climbable tree limbs) and label them so the AI knows what it is (Northern Red Oak) instead of guessing based off of the…
