ITT: Folks comparing labor hours without cost of those hours.
Folks, coders who understand how game engines work and can make graphically intense well running games are 3.5-4 times more expensive per hour.
I really can’t believe I have to spell this out for everyone. Do you really think naughty dog or Rockstar aren’t hiring folks at 200k+ to work on these games for thousands of hours only still to fuck out up after 6 years of development?
I’m not saying 3d is better, it’s clearly too expensive for everyone to push these boundaries and different tools for different games; but this is just the economic reality.
But graphically intense is a supply side decision not a demand side one, most of the big hit indie games including 3D ones are either overtly styalized or doing a kind of pseudorealism that looks clean without having to model the refraction index of individual rain drops.
Silksong is using a 2D hand-animated style, which is not cheap to make, not because of coders but because it requires way more work from artists than other art styles.
Who asked for these games to look photo real, I used to like GTA back in the San Andreas and Vice City days. I hated the look of GTA 5 and didn’t even finish it, the older games had cartoon graphics and lots of charm, these new ones suck
Everyone who isn’t being pedantic and ignoring the vast majority and economic data and sales that led us to giant graphically intensive open worlds rpg and action games.
You don’t like that shit, good for you. But pretending the demand isn’t there is head in sand dumb.
I designed this penis slicer using the absolutely best components, and years of German engineering. I’m charging $1000, which is a steal if you think about the cost of the labor and parts.
Blah blah blah I’m going to ignore the economic reality of the largest entertainment industry on the planet cause hur hurt graphics for dummies. Prototypical dumb nerd shit.
I’m not saying that it’s not irresponsible to grow to the size that they have, but I don’t think people understand the staggering difference in the size of the development teams between GTA and Hollow Knight.
MobyGames lists 4,771 people in the credits for GTA V and just 85 for Hollow Knight. Honestly most of those on Hollow Knight are translators and testers, people who weren’t working the full length of development time.
As a reminder, 99.9% of the cost of a game is number of staff * salary * time.
Yeah, I can be pretty frugal with game purchases and will often wait for sales, but this one I didn't even have to think about. They're going to sell a bazillion copies at this price.
Go murder a bunch of crabs to make the town safer? Size your destiny and become the legendary hero? Tired, cliche, no thanks.
We wanted to make some banger cheese, so we left it in the dungeon to age, but now a dragon lives there and I really want that cheese? Now THATS a quest I wanna go on!
Binged the game in a month about two years ago, I did everything, including the flyiig bean and the triple bird, great game, unique experience, I love it and I fucking hate it at the same time lol
The game is ruthless and not for the faint of heart, I think you may need to be a certain degree of masochist or something to do everything in it, I also remember needing the performance mod for the later stages of the game.
I’ve been waiting a few years to forget more about it so I can replay it again as blind as possible.
Omg I got WN in one of my first runs(at like day 13) and I KNEW who he was but chose him for the shiggles anyways…😭😭 how anyone could WILLINGLY choose him is beyond my comprehension
Binging it in a month is insane tho!! How do u even find the time for that O_O goodluck with trying to forget everything, the PTSD of queenie’s meltdown causing her to breach shall always stay deep within your heart 💔

Jest to o tyle ważne, że tę opinię wystawił organ państwowy. Dlatego tym bardziej bezzwłocznie zgłosiłem się z tym do Ministerstwa Cyfryzacji.
Oh lord this looks incredible. What’s the age rating/target audience for this? I’m a teacher who works to try and bring quality and engaging games into the classroom, and at a glance it feels like a perfect junior high entry into gaming.
I cannot wait for all the AAA developers to whine, cry, and complain about how everyone is saying Silksong is so good and that AAA can’t compete with their own games.
