Meanwhile Larian (BG3 devs) held the newest patch for one additional day to test it out and make sure it works properly. You really see the difference.
It doesn’t read all that bad but what is the problem with shutting down megacorps? Like just keep them from amassing more and more IP in one place you fucking morons!
How about you don’t change the terms people agreed to retroactively. How about if you said “no royalties”, you stick with no royalties and don’t come up with some bullshit fee that works exactly like a royalty.
It doesn't work the same here as with B2C products. Excluding hobby developers who wouldn't been hit either way. most people paying for Unity are trying to make a living and a company eradically throwing the pricing model around is not a good look when there are altrnatives around.
People can and will go to alternatives for new projects. Unreal, if you want a marketplace and impressive 3D and Godot if you want FOSS. Not to mention the otber game engines.
It's about money here, in some cades not little amount of money.
I really love the world of GTA V, it has a lot to explore and is beautiful. I just wish the driving physics to explore it weren’t so utterly boring. GTA IV had great arcade driving.
When you say “Arcade driving” if you mean “zero friction simulation” then yes, sure. I went back to GTA4 recently because I loved the story and after 2k hours in GTAV, driving in 4 makes me want to kill myself
After coming off San Andreas when 4 came out, I figured it was the same as SA with the skill system that made the cars less slidey the better CJ got. But nope. It’s just like that. It gives the vehicles more sense of weight, but it’s too slidey unless the road is meant to be black ice. I feel like 5 has the best arcade like driving. Especially with the addition of being able to control your pitch and roll in a car and not just on a bike. It’s not too real, but it’s not super cartoonish. It’s a perfect middle area.
I mean real damage, spinning out, hitting a curb actually feeling like hitting a curb and overall feel. Gta V has too much grip and you can easily just take a sports car up a mountain offroad. It’s soulless.
I’m a massive FFVII fan, and that 2 year wait ALMOST lost my interest. I finally picked it up, where it remained the most expensive game I had purchased for a good long while. I was happy with that, because I heard “the other installments will be included!”
Guess I heard them wrong. They lost me. I won’t pay 90 bucks again for another chapter of a 2 year old remake of a 30 year old game.
It’s been a day since the announcement, and a few hours since people noticed the stock dump. What the fuck do you want them to do? Fully research the case, send out subpoenas, call hearings, listen to testimony and level fines all in less than 24 hours?
This is stuff that should be available on release day for all fps games. I can’t believe companies keep getting away with releasing beta version of games as a full release.
Thankfully paradox are making a contender. Although paradox overdoes kt with dlc, too, but they’re not a scummy company like ea so it should be better. Plus they’re trying to take marketsharr from es so doing the exact same thing would be counterproductive.
Usually Paradox has some content DLC but the vast majority is cosmetic, so you don’t have to buy it but that money fuels their development of future content. Also with every content DLC they almost always release updates and extra content for free for the base game, I feel that Paradox is one of the only companies that do DLCs right.
Also they always allow mods, and a lot of their cosmetic DLCs can be immigrated by mods, so it’s not like they block people from doing what they want with their game just to shove cosmetics.
For me for a game like Sims I need a big variety of cosmetics to keep me playing, new game mechanics are kind of secondary.(Although, if I trust any company to recognize that and adjust accordingly it’d be paradox) But still, you are completely right, paradox doesn’t abandon players that don’t buy the dlc but release content patches at the same time. Plus if you happen to play with other people only one person needs to own the dlc, which is one of my favourite things paradox does and more companies should do.
Also, I completely forgot about mod support. That makes a huge difference, too.
I haven’t played The Sims since the first installment. But having heard the nightmare stories… sure, the game might be free… but everything, 99% of the game content, will be locked behind a paywall.
You want wallpaper? $2 for colors, $5 for designs, $10 for this holiday pack.
That doesn’t match with what I know; they make lots of individual expansion bundles, each with a fair amount of content.
The metric of “How to buy EVERY scrap of content for the game” is generally disingenuous, since most of its expansions are best enjoyed on their own, and you’d likely get tired of them after a few unless you really enjoy The Sims.
Can’t a phone just be a phone? For the love of god. Do we need to listen to music on everything? - some person 10 years ago
A phone is just a portable computer. Just like people not wanting both a console and a PC in their homes, I can understand wanting to use your phone as a Nintendo Switch alternative for portable gaming. Paired with a decent input device it could solve that craving without the need for both a phone and a separate portable game console in your pocket. I honestly think a decent implementation of this would be amazing (current phone gaming market is too focused on gacha mechanics and timers)
The issue is not open world. The issue is bioware. At this point the only thing that could get me interested in ME or DA again is if someone else gets the rights to the IP.
