Yep

I don’t think anyone is claiming it was malicious. The mind-blowing thing is that it seems to be intentional yet no one thought it might be a bad idea.

I hope they start giving some indication when a quick resume gets wiped. That could be unfortunate for games that have save limitations (which are admittedly rare, but still exist) 

Part of the reason one might expect social commentary is because CDPR made a big deal about the existence of said social commentary. When there was criticism of various depictions (like the weird ads of trans people) they defended them by saying it was intentional, that it was part of a message.

You know, Nintendo pulled off their news feed pretty well. It’s unobtrusive (you’re only “forced” to see articles when you unlock it in portable mode) and many of the articles are genuinely interesting, like developer interviews or post-mortems and patch notes.

That’s interesting, because to me it sounds more like it took a lot of surface level depictions (and occasionally stereotypical depictions) in an attempt to create diversity, without exploring the realities of the various identities and communities they included.

You should probably frequent another site if you’re not interested in criticism of representation and diversity. It’s very common here, and is why a lot of people love this site.

Why can’t it be both? Why can’t a corporation do something because it’s financially or legally advantageous AND because it actually affects people?

What dialect of English do you speak, where the most important definition of blind is something other than “unable to see because of disease or injury?" Sounds fascinating!

“I don’t find satisfaction in this thing, so no one else can either!” 🙃

I don’t think studio loyalty is the right term—it’s not about people fawning over a studio (though that certainly exists), it’s more about interest and excitement. If a studio consistently puts out games that you enjoy, it makes total sense that you’d be excited and interested every time they announce something new.…

You certainly aren’t obligated to like DA:I, but I don’t think it fits into the “Bioware hasn’t made a good game since 2010" narrative. It was critically acclaimed and millions of people loved it—it has a pretty good claim for being a “good game.”

I was hoping that Anthem would make a comeback, but it’s looking less and less likely. Shame, the flight and shooting and abilities felt pretty good.

People are really split over the humor! Half of the reviews love it, and half say it’s annoying and distracting.

lol you good fam, I get it now and I appreciate the attempt 😀

First, to clarify, I’m not saying they don’t care at all—it’s more like they don’t care enough, or perhaps that they don’t care in the right way.

Yeah, automatically downloading is a new feature. Mostly useful for people who have two switches; when you use your other switch, you can pick up where you left off without manually downloading the cloud save. 

If anything, this seems MORE likely to allow deeper access. You’re creating a direct WiFi connection between your phone and the console. I’m sure they’ve secured it fairly well, but as a layman, that *sounds* like a great entry point for accessing the rest of the system.

That makes sense, given that PS4 games are taking the bulk of the “other” space. PS5 games are already optimized for the SSD, where those files can be accessed so quickly they don’t necessarily need to be stored in RAM—perhaps the “other” space is a workaround for PS4 games because they aren’t set up to use the SSD…

I don’t have a PS5 yet, but this isn’t encouraging. Sony seems to have done the bare minimum to create a user-friendly experience, while MS has already released their first feature update.
