SoMuchProgress, they had to drop telling us about all the progress.

Also he learned that by throwing out more and more ships for real money he can cash in endlessly without ever ending the development. So he has all the time in the world.

“it’s still unlike any game that’s existed so far (even in it’s current, bug-riddled form).”

What’s the scheduled release date?

Feature creep is a death spiral for a lot of projects, including this one. It’s fine to offer new features as stretch goals (which is how this all happened) but you don’t then take those features and mux them across your master plan, because then your plan becomes a spaghetti mess.

Man, entitled gamers strike again. Just because they *paid* for a *video game* they expect actual progress and updates towards that game being completed.  What entitled babies.

One of the first projects I worked on at my agency involved working with a tech client that had put out a Star Citizen hype video a few months previous. At this point in my career, I was super junior. The game had been in dev for a few years but that’s not odd.

Pretty much, I was one of the people who defended them early on. Money or not, AAA game development takes time. When they had nothing to show but fundraising after half a decade though, after work supposedly began before announcement? There are reasonable limits.

i think this was the first game i backed on kickstarter. i built a new rig with a 660ti thinking i would be ready to play this game in the next year or so. LOL at me.

I read a review somewhere that said

It’s worth pointing out that with the removal of gunsmith parts, dismantling weapons and gear will directly award gunsmith reputation. So if you have a vault full of junk, you may want to wait until after WQ drops to dismantle it all. You’ll save the extra step of having to turn in the parts, and you might get some…

This... Isn’t Copyright infringement though. It’s technically would be considered fair use/ a Parody. Which is why Nintendo isn’t suing the maker, they’re just forcing Youtube, and Twitter to take down videos. Which they’re likely complying due to business reasons, not legal reasons. I’m sure Youtube/twitter gets…

I mean, the footage isn’t exactly realistic either. We aren’t talking Soldier of Fortune here. This is cartoon violence.

It’s weird to me that you’d read this whole article and think it’s entirely premised on not understanding that IP law exists.

Tim said the same thing under my 2019 post given his experiences working with a major japanese publisher, but yeah, thought it needed repeating here!

What’s interesting is that in this case it’s likely not copyright infringement. Since its a game about hunting pokemon (in the literal sense rather than the “I caught it in a ball so we can be friends!” Sense) this would likely be considered a pretty obvious parody which is fair use. Its why Nintendo had to buy the…

Equally weird to me that despite this Nintendo is the only company to go to these lengths when many others, from Microsoft on down, don’t just avoid such punitive actions but sometimes even work WITH the modders and creators responsible.

Game Pass needs to slow the fuck down.

Yours is “literally” the only negative take on the title that I’ve seen.
