TLDR: Dev is The Chinese Room, developer of Dear Esther and Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture. They still won’t say what happened with Hardsuit Labs, the OG dev, and the mechanics and system will be totally different.
Instead of a thin-blood, you’re an Elder fresh from torpor.
Oh man! This game is finally coming out! I’m so excited and…
The Chinese Room
FUCKING goddamn I hate that studio.
Specifically Dan Pinchbeck. Dude thinks he’s god’s gift to game design despite making walking sims. He got in hot water a while ago for talking shit about fans when his amnesia game wasn’t universally praised. Blah blah we don’t understand horror and video games… standard hipster shit.
Not to mention… they make walking sims… I guess we’ll never get a real VTM game.
Server lists have it’s place and I hate how many current multiplayer games don’t expose it (they most definetly have it for development purposes).
But most people playing these competetive games want a rank to compare themselves and also be able to rank up. They also want to be placed in a match according to their skill group eithout wauting for someone to leave. A server list isn’t compatible with those features.
At least that’s what I gathered from people online and my friends who were opposed to messing around in a private lobby. Luckily CS:2 will most definetly have private server support with server lists and mods.
Yesss! I barely play counterstrike anymore, but I am excited to see this. And coming this summer? Summer is damn near over. They gotta be releasing it soon.
It’s a bad look, and I won’t make excuses for them, but none of this really surprises me, either. I still like their content, and I already understood most of this to be the case by inference without it being spelled out like this. Their coverage has been good enough, and when I need someone to genuinely go hard on the nuts and bolts of a thing, Gamers Nexus is the better choice.
The laptop sponsorship thing is a perfect example. He straight up says he invested in them, which instantly makes the video revealing their latest model a clear extension of that sponsorship. Did I still keep watching? Hell yeah, because the laptop modularity looks awesome. Should I trust everything in the vid is presented objectively without bias?
I think a lot of people look to LTT for guidance on PC components and trust their conclusions even though they’re not as technical as something like gamers nexus.
I don’t think that is the case anymore. Saw a comment in an unrelated thread of someone talking up how LTT takes the time to make sure their sponsors are trustworthy in response to someone saying to not trusted whatever products youtubers shill in sponsored segments.
So there is a number of people who do see LTT as a respectable and honest outlet that takes their recommendations seriously.
With details you mean the actual tests and what not? If that is the case, I highly doubt it. LTT is even quoted/referenced/talked about by people like Dave from EEVBlog.
I can’t really judge the tests, I know too little about them. My point was rather that these tests are not really relevant to 99% of buyers. If, for example, GPU A is 3.5% faster than B, but costs 5% more, but also draws 5% more power, is that really a relevant information for a gamer?
Just finished watching these matches, and as someone who’s played a good amount of SSB64, that was INCREDIBLE. Such top notch playing from start to finish. Thanks for sharing this.
25 players is not a lot for what they call an MMO. I’m a bit skeptical of the game, but I signed up for the beta and will give it a go. Most games going for an Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley vibe just fail to capture what makes those games special.
