- Comment on Has Xbox Considered Laying One Person Off Instead Of Thousands 18 hours ago:
It’s almost comical how incompetent the Xbox BU’s executive management has been for 10+ years.

I am a big user if sniper rifle + pistol combos. It works pretty well.
Will need to post a mini-review of Revision the next time I get to replay Deus Ex.

That’s totally fair.
I’ve played Deus Ex times that I sort of enjoy the clunky and RPG progression gunplay.

I really need to play it. I am sure I would enjoy it. I thought Human Revolution and even Invisible War (with mods) were decent. Invisible War is fundamentally flawed due to the small maps though.

Yeah, I can see what you mean by saying guns are chore, it takes some time for them to be effective.
Try one of the mods, they greatly improve things compared for he baseline game (I haven’t played the baseline version in 15 years).

I see. Yes, stealth is in a strange position where it’s difficult to use it full time. There are multiple missions/maps where you will eventually not be able to use stealth.
I can see what you mean regarding guns being clunky. They do get more effective as you level up and get better weapons. Early game gunplay is very iffy.
But I actually like the RPG approach to gunplay and how it forces you to try and avoid direct confrontation and use a mixture of stealth and combat.
That being said, these are all fair points.
I’ve actually never tried Revision. I only use GMDX. Should try it for next play through. i feel like I need to reinstall once I clear out a major deliverable for work. :)

I am just curious, what makes you say it has aged poorly in terms of gameplay? I would argue it holds up pretty well, but I am also a PC/KB+M only player. I strongly dislike UI/UX that has been compromised (from my perspective) for consoles/controllers.
Agreed regarding the sequels (haven’t played the fourth one, just the 2nd and 3rd sequel); they are OK, but not that special.

- Comment on 'Spitting in the face of your international audience': The Alters cops to using generative AI for background text and translations, despite not disclosing such on Steam 1 day ago:
I work with multiple languages and I haven’t heard of LLMs being used instead of Deeply/Google translate.
Don’t really see the reason to switch to LLMs.

Arguably as far a small minority of fanboys are concerned, it already has cult-like properties.

One would almost think they are having a laugh, but no it’s for real (I don’t think are intentionally trying to coming which such comically stupid naming policies).

- Comment on Sony faces another class-action lawsuit over PlayStation Store prices and monopolistic practices 1 week ago:
It’s claimed that in addition to exploiting its dominant position, Sony bans other potential app stores from having access to the PlayStation platform.
It would fascinating if this lawsuit forces Sony to open their platform to 3rd party stores. I am assuming they would be far more opposed to this than even any multi-hundres million euro fines.

That’s a compelling review. I will have to check it out.
I am surprised I’ve never heard of the game before, it’s been out since 2019.
