- Comment on Sid Meier’s Civilization VII - Official Teaser Trailer 5 months ago:
Armies in 5 and 6 are kind of underwhelming. Maybe a compromise of having terrain have unit capacities, with various units taking up more space.
- Comment on Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. 7 months ago:
They were also much simpler and smaller back then with often extremely limited specification variations. And DRM existed back then too, with some fairly egregious and infamous physical DRM checks.
- Comment on Steamworks Development - AI Content on Steam 10 months ago:
Isn’t that practically the same as all games in general?
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 10 months ago:
Not to mention that Steamworks DRM is practically non-existent anyways.
- Comment on We're going in the wrong direction 1 year ago:
It really makes their tests for the higher bit rate “1080p Premium” quality just seem like reducing the current 1080p and locking out the one we already had.
- Comment on Rockstar Plans to Announce Much Anticipated ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ 1 year ago:
You’d be surprised. If someone just happens to miss the initial wave of press, then they might notice the second wave when it does announce it.
- Comment on Forza Motorsport has released on Steam 1 year ago:
Well, considering that time was either on the way towards bankruptcy, at bankruptcy, or barely recovering from bankruptcy, it’s a fairly easy explanation as to why they’re doing better now.
- Comment on incredible 1 year ago:
Something that people miss though is that they do hit some roadblocks that if not for some extremely lucky coincidences, they wouldn’t have any way to do it. Specifically for various materials that just so happen to be around them.
- Comment on Epic Games to update Unreal Engine pricing for devs not making games 1 year ago:
Not to mention the amount of money they literally burn through EGS. If I remember correctly, the plan was that it wouldn’t be profitable for another 3/4 years (by 2027).
- Comment on Epic Games to update Unreal Engine pricing for devs not making games 1 year ago:
Most devs never would have made their own proprietary engines. With ready availability of engines to use, the number of developers skyrocketed as it lowered the bar of who can make a game.
- Comment on Epic Games to update Unreal Engine pricing for devs not making games 1 year ago:
It could be worse. They could have looked towards Autodesk for inspiration.
- Comment on Sometimes I question my sanity 1 year ago:
That’s seldom the case on sites like PornHub these days.
- Comment on What is the attraction to kids? 1 year ago:
I don’t think that you can make a person into a pedophile, any more than you can make a person gay.
If you really think about it, we’ve seen arguments like that before. That pornography creates rapists. That violent video games creates murderers. And that’s just strictly on the consumption of media.
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 player finds “rarest” ending where characters are dogs and cats - Dexerto 1 year ago:
It’s literally described in the very first sentence:
A Baldur’s Gate 3 player joked that their fiancée may have found the rarest possible ending for the game when Wild Magic turned everyone into dogs and cats for the final cutscenes.
- Comment on What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved? 1 year ago:
Yeah, but you don’t need to tell me that in an unskippable cutscene (the fact that it’s unskippable is the part I have an issue with) and ironically, the gameplay is so compelling that I absolutely do not mind just wasting my life away toiling under these ridiculous work conditions.
- Comment on What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved? 1 year ago:
The writing is a little hammy, but they have to rush it bc it’s really a minor bit of the game. (Spoiler, it’s very pro-labor and anti-capitalist, so if that triggers you, don’t play it.)
Which annoyingly, is the reason I bounced off the game. Breaking down ships is fun. That’s literally the whole reason I want to play the game. The story wants me to hate playing the game and won’t let me play until I listen to the entirety of why capitalism is bad.
- Comment on Dusk Developer David Szymanski: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly 1 year ago:
It wasn’t really even exclusives technically. It was explicitly Excluding-Steam exclusives. It released everywhere else but not on Steam. And it was further aggravated by games that were already on Steam being taken off in favor of launching elsewhere.
- Comment on Dusk Developer David Szymanski: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly 1 year ago:
You say that as if Steam has unreasonably high rates. Sony, Microsoft, Apple as a standard all have the same rate.
- Comment on Dusk Developer David Szymanski: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly 1 year ago:
I mean, the back button has been broken since basically the whole UI overhaul.
- Comment on VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it 1 year ago:
I disagree. I definitely feel like I’m there with everything scaled up to real size. Like I never really considered how absolutely massive Radroaches from Fallout were until playing Fallout 4 VR.
- Comment on Any hairs movement feels like a bugs on you, it’s ever more common when you’re hairy 1 year ago:
The mattress case, because it fully encapsulates your mattress, reduces the areas where bed bugs can hide.
- Comment on Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’ 1 year ago:
I can’t really comment on the earlier consoles, but those are some pretty biased comparisons.
The GameCube is more powerful than the PS2, but then the Xbox was more powerful than the GameCube. Then you have the Wii. But then WiiU being more powerful than a console coming out 6 years prior? What kind of argument is that?
The argument for the Switch doesn’t prove anything when there’s very little investment in the handheld console market when the Switch came out. And also, who cares if the Switch’s successor can beat a decade old console?
- Comment on Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’ 1 year ago:
Playing on the Steam Deck for a few weeks and then picking up a Nintendo Switch, it felt like I was holding air.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
So, in other words, there really aren’t any devs? The comparisons to Fallout garnered by the Outer Worlds are largely due to it being made by Obsidian and to be fair, even New Vegas, a game built on the same engine has design principles that falter away from the Bethesda-style.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Not a whole lot? Are there even any?
- Comment on Unity issue an apology on Twitter for "confusion and angst" over the runtime fee policy. 1 year ago:
It took them a week to make a tweet saying basically nothing?
- Comment on Official Release Date Trailer | Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader (Dec. 7th, 2023) 1 year ago:
I’m not super familiar with the WH40K franchise and what other games are out for it, but what genre of games would you have preferred they do? I suppose a straight up action shooter would work, but isn’t there a Space Marine sequel coming soon that’s for WH40K?
- Comment on Starfield’s Planets Are Covered In Thousands Of Dead Creatures 1 year ago:
I think people really overstate Todd Howard lying to compare it Peter Molyneux’s shit. Like we’re looking at Molyneux who said you could plant a tree and have it grow in real time or whatever. The same Molyneux who promised a “life-changing” award for winning a P2W clicker game (the award was royalties and early access to Godus, a game which they abandoned for what was essentially Godus: Subtitle, which was promptly abandoned soon after). And now his most recent game being something that involves “blockchain technology” where you can make money in real life by making money in game.
- Comment on Starfield’s Planets Are Covered In Thousands Of Dead Creatures 1 year ago:
Those random YouTubers make those ecologies with the explicit purpose of simulating an ecology in a totally closed environment, not as an additional side piece to a game.
Not even to mention how a functioning ecology can never properly exist where a player is involved. Players will just kill things without any rhyme or reason to.
