A reminder that Microsoft coined the term “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” and they are going to continue doing this on purpose

So Xbox bought the studio about 3 years ago and then just went ‘nah, not profitable.’ Fuck Xbox.

I’ve been through a similar process (as an employee) and all I can keep thinking is “Fuck you.” after every sentence this guy says.

Hi-Fi Rush might genuinely be one of my favorite games of all time.

These guys did great, and I’ll be thinking twice about any Xbox product I consider purchasing in the future.

The shareholders aren’t making enough money until every worker’s dreams are crushed.

frog,

Not even then. I think the thing that’s easy to forget about shareholders is they’re not doing this because they’re evil and get off on watching people suffer. They’re doing it because their own personal inadequacies are so vast that the only way they can cope with life is by trying to fill that enormous emotional hole with money. As a result, even when every other person on the planet has been crushed and ground into paste, and just one person with this mindset finally owns everything… it still won’t be enough for them. They will still be left with that unfillable emotional hole. They will still be empty inside.

BroBot9000, do games w The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered on PC has been ready for at least seven months, it’s claimed | VGC

Just wait till next year for remastered X chronicles version with horse testicle physics and customizable skins.( $9.99) There’s a secretary outfit and a gangster with a Tommy gun and even a cheerleader one!

The battle pass auto expires if you miss 3 dailies in a row and every micro transaction directly donates 10 cents to the “build an Ai Cory Barlog” foundation.

Didn’t last of us part 2 come out seven months ago?

DarkThoughts,

What? It came out 4 years ago.

Kazumara,

The Last of Us Part I released last year in March. Part II isn’t out yet.

If it is as bad as the last of Us PC release. They can keep it.

slazer2au,

It be nice if the spent some of that time optimizing it for PC but I doubt they did.

I feel this game won’t hold its audience for long.

Very few games do. So few that the ones that hold a high player base or even grow are anomalies. This one is making strange moves like being a fighting game that, at least at launch, can’t be played offline and costs $240 to stock with every character for local tournaments.

It has had a lot of polish aince the beta last year, and the store stuff/season pass microtransaction hell was dialed down. The first season pass appears to be free, not sure how they will handle that stuff in the future.

It is still fun to play although all the flashy daily stuff and the awkward menu navigation is atill annoying.

simple,

I’m excited to get back into it. Is the game still unbalanced towards 1v1, though? My biggest issue is that it felt too easy to dodge everything that matches would last forever until someone gets hit.

jaaake,

There’s a dodge meter now that shows you how many dodges each character has left

applepie, do games w Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo

Corporate loga are cancer. I don't give a fuck about your shiti brand. I paid you for use the license. You don't get to fucking stick your shiti advert into my life after I pay you.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Actually yes, they do. You paid for a license.

See, now before you used to be able to buy an individual copy of the game. Then you did have the right to edit those out. Can’t do that when you only buy a license.

applepie,

Yarrr ;)

SeattleRain, do games w Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo

Hey bro, just pause the game and play their jiggle on your phone if you miss it so much.

todd_bonzalez,

Was anyone complaining?

Etterra, do games w Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo

It’s especially weird to have all that time dedicated to something nobody cares about. Who goes looking to see if a game or movie was made using Dolby?

Potatos_are_not_friends,
Telodzrum,

Anyone with good media equipment cares.

tacosplease,

You were down voted, yet here I am. A person who cares about surround sound options.

GeekFTW,

But do you as that person need to know that fact every time you launch the game or is finding out about it before you buy it from it’s technical information sufficient?

You can care about surround sound options, but a non skippable splash screen on every launch gives you zero information or use.

tacosplease,

Nobody is advocating for the sound to play at startup. The comment that started this conversation specifically uses the word “looking”. We’re just saying people do pay attention to what kind of surround sound something has.

h3mlocke,

It must be weird to care about being reminded of what surround sound the game is using everytime u play it? Nobody’s saying they don’t care about sound quality, nor options. Idk how u can read this thread and that be your takeaway. It should be on the box/product description, no need for a splash screen in the game is what the argument is about…

tacosplease,

I was originally responding to the comment about looking for surround sound options and was not trying to defend the sounds. Obviously, the info on the box is usually the best way to tell.

But as we discuss it, some use cases for the sound come to mind.

If the media is just a file on a hard drive or if the original packaging is lost or damaged, I might appreciate having the sound to indicate what settings to use on the receiver.

And honestly beyond all that… Who cares if somebody does like having the sound play every time? We all do weird shit.

SeattleRain,

You don’t need to be reminded about sound encoding every time you boot the game even if you do care.

Telodzrum,

Dolby (and others) have determined that it is in the best interest of their brand to put this alongside developers, producers, publishers, and others. It is now part of their license agreement.

SeattleRain,

Okay, and their ego maniacs for thinking they’re that big of a part of the game to be credited everytime. That’s why most people in the thread applaud the move.

Telodzrum,

I don’t agree, but it’s good that you always have the option of not buying a game with a brief splash screen.

SeattleRain,

It’s good that creators have the ability to boot parasitic vendors like Dolby when their licensing agreements are insanely greedy too.

Telodzrum,

Ok boss, sure

aksdb,

That information belongs in the specs/feature list on the encasing, not in the fucking splash screen as dedicated video.

For the buyer that would be too late and for the one who bought it already and now wants to play it’s utterly pointless.

Telodzrum,

It’s on the box. In order to license it the grantor requires screen time.

ricdeh,
@ricdeh@lemmy.world avatar

No, the grantor requires fees. Screen time is just a bonus

h3mlocke,

Wow

summerof69,

Anyone with good media equipment cares when they consider purchasing a game. Nobody needs this info every time they launch it.

JasonDJ,

Playstation 1 boot up sequence plays in background

Telodzrum,

The two go hand in hand. Want DolbyVision? The logo comes with that.

h3mlocke,

Wow

Smokeless7048,

yea, ill go looking for great movies and games which have good Dolby Atmos… but once i buy it, i dont need to see a splash screen every time.

Wish we could have a single splash screen with all the bits of tech. then its only one, instead of screen after screen…
