- Comment on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Announcement Trailer 5 days ago:
Let’s face it: that trailer was just bad. We already knew MP4 was in the works; there was nothing that was shown for us to get excited for. No new enemies, no new suits, no new abilities, no new weapons. If I had to guess, I’d say the team was told to put something together for Nintendo Direct at the last minute, so they threw together footage from the intro level. It worries me that Nintendo wants to drive the hype from the existence of MP4, instead of the content of MP4.

Good news!
Perfect Dark was remastered in 2010 and is part of the Rare Replay you can buy for the XBox. Exactly the same, but with HD graphics.

Oh, you don’t actually like ARPGs. So why are you complaining about them?
- Comment on Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem ceases development, will shut down multiplayer in September 3 weeks ago:
I guess the genre is just dead.
Diablo IV’s current season is pretty well regarded, from what I’ve read.
The Last Epoch is good.
Grim Dawn is fantastic.
And of course, Path of Exile is doing Path of Exile things.
What’s this “genre is dead” thing?

Did platform fighters exist before Smash?
By “platform fighter” do you mean a game where your goal is to increase damage to your opponents in order to knock them out of the arena, as opposed to draining a health bar?
If so, I don’t recall any before Smash, though my interest in pre-Smash fighters ended with the SNES.

Speaking of innovation, the N64 was the, if not first then what I would call the first modern, console to use thumbsticks. The Dualshock was the second controller made for the PlayStation.

Star Wars Rogue Squadron?

- Comment on Stellaris gets a DLC about AI that features AI-created voices, director insists it's 'ethical' and 'we're pretty good at exploring dystopian sci-fi and don't want to end up there ourselves' 5 weeks ago:
It’s not; you’re just looking at the beginning of automating creativity when labor automation has been going on for over a hundred years. The introduction of new tech is always more disruptive than refining established tech. Besides which, VA is particularly sensitive to disruption because every VA does essentially the same job- one AI can be programmed to speak in thousands (millions?) of different voices, whereas one manual labor job doesn’t necessarily require the same actions as another.
Also it’s funny you complain about laundry, given how much doing laundry has been automated.

For someone who loves N64 games but has literally never used git, how would one go about compiling this?

And I’m sure the reason you’re mad about this now, and not three months ago, is because of ethics in gaming journalism, right?

Nobody is locked out. Nothing has as yet changed.

The Steam page has said “PSN account required” since day one. Anyone opposed to creating a PSN account on moral grounds and bought HD2 has no one to blame but themselves.

… But you’re right that it is often considered the cause of many of their problems: Valve’s unusual corporate structure causes its problems, report suggests
If you look at the list of games developed by Valve it kinda becomes apparent that the only reason Valve is still around (or operates in such a free-flow manner) is because Steam is so profitable. Their release of notable titles is spotty, at best:
- CS 2, 2023
- HL:Alyx, 2020
- DOTA: Underlords 2020
- Artifact (RIP) 2018
- DOTA 2 2013

There were other, better recognizable games in there. Like Red Dead 2 is from 6 years ago.
That’s what the “Labor of Love” award is supposed to be for: games that are older, but the devs have continued to support them as a passion project.

Lol I didn’t think you sounded whiny, but I did think it would be funny to counter your opinion of “Star Wars should never change!” with “Star Wars should be something different!” so we encompass the spectrum of complaining Star Wars fans. :D

There’s a whole fucking galaxy in Star Wars and you want to see the same things you’ve already seen before? Hell no, show me new people and places and characters! Why does the fate of the entire galaxy hinge on like 20 people in two or three families? Surely there are other, equally important people who exist in the galaxy far, far away?
- Comment on EXCLUSIVE: Xbox President Sarah Bond has set up a new team dedicated to game preservation and forward compatibility 2 months ago:
The Series S doesn’t have a disk drive.
The rumored Series X refresh doesn’t have a disk drive.
It’d be hard for Microsoft to remain committed to game preservation in that way without them.
To me, this sounds more like they’re looking at Nintendo’s virtual store playbook and wondering how many times they can sell the same games to their customer base.
- Comment on Bethesda confirms they are working on releasing new features you asked for, from city maps, to mod support, to all new ways of traveling next year for Starfield 6 months ago:
If I remember it correctly, everything in E:D is procedurally generated, but every player has the same seed so it generates everything identically. That’s how they keep the installation a manageable size.
