  • atocci,

    I just started last night, but that was immediately the vibe I was getting. Not a bad thing so far, but I never did finish Skyrim, so I guess I'll see if this goes the same way...

  • tias,

    Bethesda didn’t evolve over the past 10 years. They just added some ambient occlusion and increased the resolution of their textures. The game engine was OK when when Skyrim came out, but it’s really kind of embarrassing that the exact same issues still remain in 2023.

    I’ve only finished eg. Skyrim or Fallout 4 both once, but I’ve got gods know how many zillions of hours in them, especially after installing Sim Settlers 2 for FO4. I like the worlds, I just don’t care much about the story and the games don’t make me care about the story

    Not something that happens in the game.

    jdeath,

    it’s the very start of the game homie

    He overlooks his operation packing up.

    Dirk_Darkly, do gaming w Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose because 'when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there' but 'they certainly weren't bored'

    This is a nice sentiment, but it falls apart when you realize that a lot of the exploration is procedurally generated POI that eventually copies not just assets, but layouts and granular details. That tends to detract from a sense of wonder and mystery.

    Which is fine, if they would just embrace that instead of trying to change how people perceive their work.

    It didn’t take me long to find two resesrch facilities that were identical down to enemy and loot placements less than 1km from each other.

    thanks_shakey_snake,

    That’s exactly it-- The game is what it is and will be alot of fun for many people. They’ll have nailed some stuff and missed the mark elsewhere…

    But all the spinning shortcomings as design decisions is off-putting. Like if a restaurant is taking a long time to make my food, just say “it’ll be a few extra minutes…” Not “Actually the anticipation of waiting a little longer will enhance your enjoyment, so you’re welcome.”

    That’s not a review bomb, you guys aren’t victims. That’s gamers telling you to fuck off with lies, under delivering, treating your employees like shit, micro transactions and battle passes

    People obsess over the weirdest things. Just need to develop broader hobbies, instead of obsessing over video games. Like maybe read some Governor-General literary awards winning novels. Yeah.

    A friendly reminder that the creators in the past have asked those interested in the game to pirate it instead, though of course I do not endorse such activities.

    Gotcha. I'm definitely not about to fire up qBittorrent right now and use it, because that would be illegal.

    Rodsterlings_cig, (edited )

    I would also definitely not seed anything as well, especially when utilizing a VPN.

    Edit: word

    almost1337, 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'

    That’s because it’s trying to replace paid skilled workers who are entitled to benefits and rights. Of course it’s bad for the industry. Still not going to stop greedy executives from pushing for it.

    DeathsEmbrace,

    Its also just trash thats never needed. Coding games is based in variables not complicated enough to need AI in the first place just a lot of work and playtesting.

    I think you have it backwards. Coding games is complicated, and that’s why AI can’t be used to code them effectively.

    niiice! by the movements it looks a lot like the Halflife mod ‘The Specialists’. that mod was the bomb, i played it so much and really liked the community

    DaddleDew,

    The Specialists was amazing. Expect for the players who were min-maxing it, but they were rare. Most people were playing it for the fun of it.

    Sadly I'm in US East, I don't remember the name of our server.

    mctoasterson,

    I had completely memory holed The Specialists until just now.

    Love how they incorporated the peak Matrix fanboy culture into that mod.

    CosmoNova, do games w Hero shooter Highguard reportedly didn't even pay for the Game Awards slot that's earned it so much preemptive hate—the showrunners thought it deserved the spotlight

    Monster Hunter Wilds and Matrix 4, huh? It looks to me like the Game Awards don‘t have the best track record for choosing their last big reveal if that‘s what people expect.

    lath,

    As per my understanding from the last VGA comments, it is the private fiefdom of a techbro idiot who neither knows nor cares what people expect.

    @ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

    I’ll give you the private fiefdom part, but whatever other criticisms you’ve got for the Game Awards, and there are so many, that man loves video games. Putting Highguard there was likely misreading the room, but he probably thought it would be a banger.

    Banrik,

    Honestly what I think happened is, in the lead up to the game awards there was a lot of talk about the cost of slots & I imagine the final of the show cost a pretty penny. Then I think no one was willing to buy said slot so the haphazardly shoved something in a lot closer to the event then the usually would. I doubt this was anyone's first choice.

    The buyout has effectively already gone through, and as the price has been decided, any money you give to them is directly going to saudi arabia, as they will get that new value.
