Yaaaawn. I like how game journalists think they can change the world by talking about the issues and that’s it. I mean those same websites that doom-monger about state of game industry, review and hype the big moneymakers of those corporations.
We as the customers and players are on the receiving end of their rant (this cascade of articles been going for a couple of months), but guess what capitalism will always win against powerless and meaningless virtue signalling in the form of these opinion pieces. This is bigger than video games or entertainment industry. Unless people go out on the streets and truly revolt against the corporations, NOTHING will change. Equal distribution of wealth and fair rights for workers don’t happen because we talk about it. We need to fight for it.
Do you really think they can? Are you certain that in 5, 10 or at least 15 years things will change for the better? I hope so. But think about climate change. Years of reporting, warning, shouting from the rooftops. Nothing. Nothing changed because we cannot do anything when people in power don’t see the need to change.
Yes, we have hundreds of years of examples of journalists changing the world by talking about things. It’s kind of what they do. It’s so wild to see someone make this claim really.
That will be nice. The last time I tried to play a group of people came up and sank my ship while I was in a port town selling stuff. I just turned the game off and never went back.
Ya… That’s how it goes lol. It’s definitely enough to put you off the game for a long time.
Personally, the sailing and fishing brings me back from time to time. When you’re on a chill server, it’s really nice and peaceful to just sail along the open ocean.
The two GTAs I actually lived and finished are from before Rockstar era: GTA and GTA2 - the 2D ones. I played all the big open world Rockstar titles (except for Bully) and I think I’m just not the right audience for what they are making.
Maybe it’s because I was playing on PC but none of the games prior to 5 held my attention because of the awful controls. Then 5 lost me in under 4 hours or so because it just felt like a lot of nothing going on. For a game called Grand Theft Auto, there wasn’t a lot of Grand Theft Auto action in those few hours.
I was under the impression it was a lot more than $200, but that still seems costly for what it does. For $100 more you can get an AYN Odin 2 which does a hell of a lot more stuff for the price.
I mean it’s an 8in 1080p touch screen display at 60hz, the panel is probably around $60, the hardware is probably like a pi zero so $20, and a controller $70. So just on hardware this is probably around $120 after taking into account supply chain discounts. Then, manufacturing costs, and they probably don’t even have that high of a profit margin on the device. Add in a $100 for the actually chip set and yeah you get more features but it’s not that crazy imo. Just a niche market for sure.
Lol, I love how they can’t mention it in the article, but freeing the main bugfixing patch from Arthmoor’s grasp is probably a bigger accomplishment than the patch itself.
This was my thought. Bethesda games are considered great because of the modability. Until the tools are released it seems like a hassle to do anything more than simple. Especially knowing that it will just be replaced when the tools come out.
Ffs buddy, learn to let it go. I mentioned the two games in my previous comments already. Then I mentioned I would like an actual Starcraft 3 from Blizzard. You don’t need to point me at anything, just accept someone else wishing for something and move on.
