But it is complete. Completeness is defined by what’s been done, not a number.

The “human” and “damned” stuff was a joke.

It was like reading someone start off a restaurant review by talking about how disgusting garlic is and how Taco Bell is too authentic.

The moment the Switch was announced, my reaction was “I hope they port 3D World to it so a lot more people can play it”. I knew that they wouldn’t do that very quickly because they didn’t want to interfere with Odyssey’s sales, though.

That’s a photoshop, right? Not an actual character design from a game people pay money for?

Fun fact: every Tom Hanks tweet has jillions of replies from QAnon conspiracy theorists who think he molests and eats babies.

I’m assuming the commenter was joking what with the gematria references, but also the fish is pronounced to rhyme with “ass”, not “face”.

For future reference:

The museum is honestly one of the most impressive areas I’ve ever visited in a game.

If he was bragging he would leave out the part about normal mode being too hard for him.

Those articles weren’t written by Mike Fahey, as far as I know. Kotaku isn’t a hive mind.

The show is not an adaptation of the game.

Novelists, poets, painters, etc. all also develop their skills by imitating existing works, intentionally or otherwise. A lot of people learn basic game programming skills by implementing clones of Pong, Tetris, Sokoban, Tic-Tac-Toe, etc. For everyone but very rare savant geniuses, the path to originality is paved…

I’m assuming the lighting effects on the textures (which are definitely not PSX-ish) are built into the engine and unavoidable. Looks pretty good regardless.

That would make a pretty incredible episode of Clueless Gamer.

The Witcher TV show isn’t a video game adaptation, though. It’s easier to adapt from one form of narrative, linear, non-interactive fiction to another.

There’s been a decade plus of work on getting UIs on the web to scale from big widescreen monitors to little phone screens. It doesn’t always work well, but it seems to work better in most cases than video game UIs.

That Witcher 3 image doesn’t look too bad to me. The other ones, though... does nobody playtest this stuff from a couch?

Skewers, stir fries, that kind of thing.

Bird bone is denser than mammal bone, which offsets the hollowness.
