Taldan, do games w Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI'

The market is going to be flooded with so much slop. It’ll be incredibly difficult for regular game developers to get any sort of budget to compete. I’m not even against AI being used in games, just the inevitable lowest common denominator slop that we’ll end up with

We as consumers need to find a way to reward quality games

JeeBaiChow,

…flooded with so much more slop…

Ftfy. I thought all the generic trophy farming and ‘x game maker’ games were slop enough. Its so difficult to wade through all rebadged same concepts ive given up on all the markets and just go through the reviews, and even those are bad enough.

So pretty much just like real life.

In real life we can’t contain Greg, either.

He’s right you know. Old yeller, Bambi’s mom and others need to die. Why?

Often the tragedy gets overlooked and people want to just get sugar in their diet. But a good story needs all the elements to come together as a cohesive experience.

When it comes to the tragic death, you should not retcon it or even try to exploit it after the fact. Death is ultimate and in the context of story needs to be given the respect it deserves.

But readers and viewers are fickle and shallow in regards to this context. Hollywood will placate to them all the time, but this is why Hollywood movies suck - because they placate to the viewer all the time.

Quit cheapening the tragedy, you ignant bastards. I swear.

They aren’t suggesting he not die, they’re suggesting that the part of the game before he died should have been much longer.

Might have hit harder when he did eventually die, I guess. But no, I think this was dramaturgically perfect.

Poopfeast420,

Eh, kinda disagree. I played the game for the first time last year and imma be honest I didn’t really care about Jackie when he died.

He says you can spend a lot of time in the opening area, before doing the heist, which I did, but almost nothing of it is with Jackie. Even the couple of missions you do with him, you’re often doing your own stuff.

That’s a valid experience, of course! For me, I really liked the pacing of the part until Jackie died.

I did not expect a Guild Wars reference in my Cyberpunk content! Recently picked up GW2 again and having a blast this time, so relevant to my interests. 😂

The searing was so scarring that I initially lost interest in the game.

cerebralhawks, do gaming w Linux has had a great year, but there are two reasons I can't tear myself away from Windows

So the article writer is basically saying they gave up on a free OS because it doesn’t have corporate backing.

So split the difference and get a Mac. Forget what people tell you about the Mac tax, they’re $500. They’ve been $480 on sale for the holidays. That’s the M4 Mac mini. You can spec it out with more cores and more RAM, but it’s 16GB RAM, 256GB storage, and something like 8 cores. Good enough for most people, but you’ll probably want more storage. So add some, it’s got like 5 USB-C ports on it, and hubs exist. It’s also like, the size of your fist. Anyway, it’s a corporate (Apple) backed computer, and it’s not Windows. So, there. Problem solved… right?

Obviously not for Linux gaming, and Proton doesn’t exist on macOS (Crossover does which is kind of the same thing… Crossover contributes to WINE, and Proton is based on WINE), but gaming is roughly the same prospect on a Mac as it is on Linux. You gotta emulate or whatever the hell WINE is (WINE Is Not [an] Emulator) but whatever. Compatibility layer, same thing to the lay person. Which you are if you go running back to Windows after trying Linux for 5 whole minutes.

TehPers,

Ever since they bumped the min-spec Mac Mini to 16GB RAM, it has looked like such a great deal. The upgrades are still way too expensive (except RAM now I guess?) but base model is great.

cerebralhawks,

I think they should offer a base of 512GB (or 500GB?) for the storage, but yeah, I mean, I got a 2TB external SSD for around $110-120 on Black Friday a couple years ago. That plus my 8TB external hard drive… My Mac has 10.5TB to play with (and around ~1TB free between all drives).

Skankhunt420, do games w After Black Ops 7's weaker launch, Call of Duty will no longer do back-to-back releases in the same series

Lol now gamepass is going to be $40/month in 3 months.

Look what you all made Microsoft do!!

"“We will drive innovation that is meaningful, not incremental.”

Gotcha, so same time next year? What do you mean innovate? I played BO6’s campaign because it was free and I said fuck it why not, and it was clear to me that the devs would rather do anything else than a CoD campaign.

You can’t really innovate, CoD is creatively bankrupt it has been for years, are you going to go back to WW2 again?

warm, do games w 'Huge respect to the folks at Obsidian': Todd Howard invited Obsidian devs onto Fallout season 2's set so they could see New Vegas in the flesh

I mean the set has missed the mark, from that image in the article. So I'd be pretty disappointed if I was a dev.

Oh right so the delay was caused by them firing devs for wanting a pay rise. “Quality” fuck off

JargonWagon, do games w To the rapidly aging person reading this: GameFAQs is 30 years old, and people are sharing their memories of the venerable guide hub

I printed out a list of gaps in THPS2 from GameFAQs. I didn’t realize it was 80 pages. My mom was really upset. I think I got every single one though.

Good memories. I was a regular on the boards at one point in time, and regularly contributed to the secrets/cheats/bugs sections
