All I can think of is the Polygon review that said that a game that tells us that humanity will continue to murder each other out of spite while the world goes to poo poo seems to ring very hollow when we live in a world now where people are coming together despite society failing many of us to demand better things got each other.

orange juche posted:Tim Sweeney is getting in a giant pissing match with both Apple and Google, and assumedly Valve as well over storefronts taking a 30% cut of the sale price, so more power to him, if it somehow ends in cheaper games or small devs forking over less of their cash to Valve. It's the right fight by the wrong person that's only doable because Epic is a billion dollar company too

Iain posted:I thought it looked generic as well, but I am also playing through FF12 for the first time and everything is so colorful. The dragoon looked sweet but uninspiring. Well its attacks were cool at least. Didn't see any other races outside humans in the trailer as well. FF14's story is essentially boiling down to "crystals? are actually evil" so this is just the same thing being retrod by the same director (well, the FF14 director is producing FF16 but same thing)

You ever wished you could play Star Control 2 exploration with Star Control 3's plot with Gears of War conveniently placed hip level objects to hide behind but also you're a Jedi wizard so you can float enemies into mid air and then use your maximum knockback modded shotgun that overheats in one shot and send enemies flying over the horizon but the game doesn't do physics damage so they get back up and spend like 2 minutes running back to you?

GD_American posted:I'm a big whore for any scifi that isn't just repackaged fantasy tropes so.....depends? After you play ME1 (or maybe before?) you should download Ur-Quan Masters which is Star Control 2 ported to Windows and also free. I may be biased because it's my favourite game of all time but I don't think any game has come close to having such a well made universe you can explore every nook and cranny of and it was made in 1992. ME1 is heaaavily based on it.

It's an early access scam to fuel Chris Roberts' cocaine habit It's got a flight model with a ship computer translating joystick movements into individual thrusters on your ship, working space toilets, fighters you can hop into and launch out of your bigger ship, space piracy and stealing other ships, planetary exploration, multi crew spaceships, you can pre-order ships that respawn when you lose them for like hundreds of dollars Well it's supposed to anyway

fwiw the part about CDPR cultivating that fanbase is a reference to how their social media spouted Gamergate references and all kinds of baiting gamer behaviour. It's not a very strong claim but I don't think it's a stretch to think that having the game's official accounts getting in on edgy shitposting helps.

The biggest thing about PC gaming is that a solidly built PC can last through a console generational shift and can also play games from your childhood. Console makers actively interfere with your ability to play old games and mobile gaming is even worse because there are literally no ways of playing old iOS games now.

Also, anytime I look at components I have no frame of reference. It's an alphabet soup of possible components that don't have the easy understanding of so many hertz, so many bytes, etc. The internet has made it even easier than before you just go to PC part picker and click on something in your price range and it'll be solid. If you ever get a desk that's always an option.

Re: BotW, it's such an amazing game because Nintendo went into it designing it like a puzzle you can pick up and fiddle with. A lot of time and effort spent getting the engine just right so that you can intuit how objects in the game move and function and then just letting the players go at it. Want to light a hunk of meat on fire then roll it down a hill so it causes a brush fire that sets enemies on fire? Go for it! Use a tilting platform to catapult a ball across an entire puzzle room, skipping four steps along the way if your aim is good? Sure! Stop time on a platform and hit it a hundred times with bombs and your sword so the stored energy sends you flying across the map? Hell yeah. Reminds me of a recent interview with Shigeru Miyamoto where he said that he's less interested in creating immersive game worlds and instead focusing on creating the game world in players' heads so they can intuitively grasp the sandbox they're playing in. He cites helping his grandchild play Captain Toad and observing his grandchild build a 3D structure of the map in his head as one of his greatest joys. Ah here's the interview https://twitter.com/FloppyAdult/status/1340693372835684354?s=19

The Initial D arcade game would spit out a paper "license card" after your first play that saves your game data on it (your name, upgraded car(s), etc) and you'd insert it into the game after you put quarters in to get your progress back. Some of the Gundam arcade machines did this too iirc.

Spent thousands of hours playing that poo poo Judging by how closely the new art style has the same feel of the old one despite the old style looking the way it does due to technological limitations and not the true artistic vision, I think it's a good bet they learned from WC3 Reforged and are not gonna try to upgrade like, anything.

A Bad Poster posted:They had to announce recently that you can't play it on a launch PS4 anymore unless you install it to an external drive. It is too large to fit on the internal. https://twitter.com/eurogamer/status/1364873529309724672?s=21 There's a couple reasons to it. They have multiple languages all on "disc" because no one wants to wait to download a new language pack and they all have 4K textures because I guess that's a thing now. Warzone is a gigantic map and the only way it makes sense is if they don't give a poo poo and basically have a texture and model for everything with minimal repeats or recycling. The tinfoil hat theory is that Activision tells its studios to not give a poo poo about optimizing for disk space so they can push out other games from existing on a console which is kind of farfetched but also is the lowest effort ploy with big returns so it's believable. It is also telling that one of the first things Bungie did a year after it left Activision is that it compressed its entire game (and cut out a lot of content, which was probably built very inefficiently by other Activision studios) and shrunk the game by 40% from its ballooned size of 120GB.

I just looked up the numbers and Warzone is their 150 player Battle Royale on a 9 km2 map which I think is almost 3x the size of a Fortnite map which makes me think this is a case of Activision dick swinging
