TalkingFlower, do games w This Minecraft map that recreates [Kowloon Walled City], one of history's most notorious slums made me reconsider what's important in 3D level design

He cites a lot of Immersive Sim level design, Minecraft does not have that sort of detail; it merely provides a block-by-block construction system with some rudimentary decoration, it’s not gonna achieve his design requirement.

Fedizen, do games w It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it

How is this even legal?

okamiueru,

What exactly about it is it you feel should be illegal?

Fedizen,

Foreign country buying a US corporation. Seems like their investment should be capped at like 15%

Blaiz0r,

US companies by foreign companies all the time, look at the food and drink corporations.

This is not a new or strange thing

cecilkorik,

It’s definitely not new, but it’s time to start thinking about how strange it is, and start pulling these assholes off their money-merry-go-round.

titanicx,

It’s a world economy. What are you, some sort of maga twit America first and only bullshit?

cecilkorik,

That is some very black or white, us or them, red team vs blue team thinking. It’s very interesting that you immediately jump to that conclusion when I am not even from the US at all. The answer to your question is absolutely not, and the fact that it’s a “world economy” doesn’t and shouldn’t mean any people are obligated to do business with and accept the controlling interest of literal monsters fueled by oil and oil money. Ethics must also be allowed to control the economy, not just money. The world’s financial systems have consequences beyond just the economy.

lolola,

“Stop being such a fascist and let us do business with these fucking murderers”

titanicx,

I don’t want them to buy it. But there isn’t anything illegal with investors purchasing a company line this no matter where they are from. It’s just business, it really doesn’t matter who owns them, they suck no matter what

Fedizen,

I think its more there is a certain level of baseline public investment in most corporations and it seems dumb to maintain the fiction that people’s livelihoods should be sold as a commodity, especially to a bunch of despots

Bronzebeard,

US Steel is now a Japanese company

Fedizen,

Except many foreign countries have stricter legal frameworks for corporations.

The “corporations are people” legal fiction means they have rights here. Citizen’s United has fucked this country in profoundly dumb ways.

greenskye,

I’d think we’d be far more concerned about critical resource companies before we got to worrying about gaming companies, but we can’t even do that so I’m not surprised.

forrgott, (edited )

You seem to be under some misconception regarding who actually writes our laws. Hint: they’re called lobbyists to get people to ignore the rampant bribery.

titanicx,

Bribery? They are buying a company. That’s it. There isn’t anything special about it. It’s like any other company out there.

forrgott,

And I was talking about the so-called legality of the situation. So, pretty clearly not referring to the headline…

titanicx,

Again, no legal issues.

forrgott,

How about if you can’t follow a conversation, maybe stay out of it? Like, for real, I didn’t know that else to tell you.

Cocodapuf,

If you’re not talking about the headline, what “situation” are you talking about?

Honestly, I’m not sure you’re talking about anything.

Kissaki, do gaming w 'I've had so many projects that have been discontinued lately': Nier creator Yoko Taro says he's been working on plenty of games—but they keep getting cancelled before he can announce them

I like weird. Of course they mean something different when they say weird.

Harkronis, do games w While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago

And what Valve will get themselves in again if they do not price this right.

Consoles are essentially time-based luxuries because the hardware and technology can be obsolete within 1 - 2 years at a given. That's why consoles remodel themselves after awhile to extend their life.

Valve seems to want to give people an alternative to prebuilt machines on the market. But, if they can't price right where it'll make someone think "I can build a better PC than that" or "I can find a better prebuilt than that" then the Steam Machine was a waste of everyone's time and labor.

Should just stick to the Frame and Deck.

saboteur, do games w Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading

Wait what? They just released Anno 117 and it is great! (Seems to be selling nicely too)…

SleeplessCityLights,

What are the user reviews like? Reviews by the media for games made by these mega studios are paid for, so I disregard those.

saboteur,

My short review as I’ve been playing campaign for 8h so far: If you liked Anno 1800, no need to hesitate, game is super fun and more polished than 1800 was at launch 😍

SleeplessCityLights,

Someone said that coop is not in the game as advertised on Steam and they were going to add it at a later day. Is that true?

saboteur,

That’s a good question, but for me Anno (even before 117) has been a very single player focused experience, so I don’t know the answer. Maybe someone else can chip in there

Gonzako, do games w Valve announces three new products: the Steam Frame, Steam Machine and Steam Controller

I’m certainly lining up for the steam controller to see how it feels.

JayFonduh, do games w 'I think we're in the fight of our lives': Fired Rockstar employees and IWGB are confident the GTA 6 developer will be held accountable for its alleged union busting

And here we go the first virtual scandal in GTA6! Surrender more of your time and opportunity to this conglomerate while both ironically criticizing and falling for false information for the sake of distraction!

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I was kinda wondering if this whole thing is even real or just PR to hype up GTA6.

They have done some pretty questionable advertising by manufacturing controversies in the past for previous GTA games.

JayFonduh,

All this foresight/spending/hype just for headlines to come all the way down to union busting? Believe me I’m all for a crack in the iceberg that is Rockstar. It’s looking more and more like a closed circus for billionaires to chortle at. Oh wait! That’s every circus! 😎😎😎

JayFonduh,

Yea advertising with children in those gory outfits was definitely a mistake on their part. But then people went and had to recreate it for themselves? so so unnecessary

Damarus,

It’s absolutely real.

BilSabab,

and then instead of GTA 6 we will get Manhunt 3 which will be the immersive sim with realistic murder mechanics and actual functioning organs inside each characters (including brain).

CosmoNova,

What are you implying? I just saw an interview of the fired workers striking outside the Rockstar buildings and the comments show nothing but support for them and call for a boycott of GTA 6. You can see similar recent comments under the official GTA 6 trailer on Youtube by the way. Drop in the bucket or not, but some people are actually pissed how the developers behind one of their favorite franchises get treated like dirt.

HertzDentalBar, 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 remember printing out guides from there back in the dialup period of my life.

PhobosAnomaly, 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

Perhaps it’s because I grew up with adventure puzzle games and point’n’click games, but GameFAQs was always the nuclear option for me.

I much preferred the Universal Hint System - an approach more suited to nudging you towards figuring out the answer for yourself.

There’s no denying that it was (and is) a fantastic resource though. Hell, I’ve even written a guide myself. One of the last bastions of the 90s and 2000s WWW experience.

yufoh, do games w US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment

I’ve been a fan of Halo since CE, so many memories and custom games, I got legendary editions and autographs from chief and cortanas va’s, in no way are the white house’ shit posts diminishing all of that, after all this is just the churned SLOP of some intern. I sure as shit won’t be buying anything Halo or XBOX, spineless corporation…I saw this one post DHS about Destroying the Flood??

SkunkWorkz, do games w If Peter Molyneux had a time machine to remake his cursed cube game, 'what you would give, now, would be a cryptocurrency thing'

Calling a 3D scratch lottery ticket a game is beyond ridiculous. Remember this pathological liar started his gaming career by committing fraud.
