  The Outer Wilds was a first game from an indie studio. On this basis alone it was practically guaranteed to not get the success it deserved. And it does deserve a ton of it.

  Conversely, call of duty is literally one of the most notorious franchises in the entire industry, and pretty much sells on its name alone.

  If the game is good, doesnt need an active playerbase to survive (ie isn’t entirely based on multiplayer), and the company is already reputable, it has no reasons to not sell decently in the long run. Also if the company’s future is jeopardized by a single game not doing well, I’m sorry but it’s not well managed. Ask me how I know.

  As a man I wanted to clarify that I am also easily fascinated by cheese

  if you thinking that a game even releasing in the same month as GTA6 won’t have a permanent impact on that games sales, you’re smoking the reefer.

  Maybe they should stop trying to peddle bland-ass live action games that live and die by their players numbers then. A good solo game might take a hit to its initial sales but should recover in the long run.

  Defines “ages”. Blue leds came out of Japan somewhat recently and that’s pretty huge

  Because I have an anecdote, and interpret it in the stupidest way possible, as exhibited in the OP

  I’m still fuming over how childish that was. That oversized baby Vance was literally acting like some kid awkwardly trying to score some points in the eyes of his idol.

  I did yelp. And it took me some time to trap it because I was terrified to touch it. I don’t have arachnophobia but I still find the big ones deeply unsettling

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All things have a right to grow. The blossom is brother to the weed.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’ve always had similar arrangements with spiders. I don’t bother them if they don’t bother me. Wolf spiders chilling in my bathtub do get expropriated through the nearest window though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 - Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I’m one of the people who put hundreds of hours in the game and will probably keep playing it on and off for a long time. One of my friends is an absolute L4D2 junkie and he loves it too (even more than me actually) but it doesn’t work on everyone. Personally I really like how when everyone knows what they’re doing it really feels like you’re a real team even though you might have never met any of the other players before. A good chunk of the levels are quite corrydor-ey but the environments are very detailed and truly feel massive at times when you look up and see these sprawling messes of pipes, cables etc (and I think the fact that the layouts you navigate aren’t as complex as in L4D2 doesn’t hurt the game that much since it is a lot more combat-focused). Plus the Jesper Kyd soundtrack slaps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 - Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well it’s not titan-level but the ogryn towers over all the other characters (with a much higher camera when you’re playing) and while the hit reactions on alive enemies are not huge (though he can usually stop most of them dead in their tracks with a single hit when he’s not one shotting them), all of his melee weapons send ragdolls flying in the direction of the strike and his guns usually turns enemies to paste or at least dismember on death

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 - Announcement⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah you either play for hundreds of hours or you don’t. Shallow, though ? It’s got tons of great mechanics that make the moment-to-moment gameplay enjoying

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The creator of upcoming life sim Inzoi says he was "recklessly brave to even think about creating a game of this scale"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I respect the hustle, but as a professional gameplay programmer : the fuck did you expect ? Piling systems upon systems does indeed increase the game logic’s complexity exponentially. Probably a big reason why there are so few (good) immersive sims even though it’s quite the popular genre.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You guys have to end it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not saying you’re wrong in general but

  if you need to stop on any kind of hill, you have to be aware your gonna need half a car length or more to get into gear where your just going to be falling down that hill while you convince yourself you don’t need to panic and you will catch the gear before you’re past the point of no return

  My shitty Toyota Aygo has a hill start assist thing and it works very well. Also handbrake start is right there in the OP, (and a mandatory part of drivers ed over here)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some examples of video games with an UI layout ripped off of another game?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I just don’t think that many survival games did that to copy Minecraft. If anything they were probably more influenced by DayZ which also had a hotbar as a Arma mod

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some examples of video games with an UI layout ripped off of another game?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hotbars have been around long before Minecraft
