I bought it blind on gog when it was on sale, visual novels aren’t my thing usually, but it did not have the anime look so I thought I gave it a try and drop it after half an hour.
Turns out it was one of the most impressive games I played these last years. What a mindfuck!
And the ending warmed my cold heart!
So I wanted to watch a review on YouTube, and what! The! Fuck! I had no idea how different (and gruesome) this game could get! Soon it’s holiday time, and it’s on my top list of things to do! Let’s see how I can fuck things up!
This was a very interesting game. I didn’t feel exactly satisfied at the end of the game but I almost feel like that’s the point. I’m always down for weird experimental stuff in games even if they aren’t 100% my thing. I’ll still remember those weird games that test the boundaries more than most of the standard AAA slop.
I wish this developer well and can’t wait to see what they do in the future.
I was bummed when I saw it launched in a crappy state. I thought it looked really neat as well. From recent reviews it seems they have fixed a ton of stuff and are rapidly working on other things so I copped it. Hopefully I can finally play it this weekend.
I doubt it. Other forms of AI could be useful, but generative AI? I doubt it.
And tbh even deep learning through neural networks doesn’t seem to be making the leaps we’d hoped for. AoE4 promised, prior to release, a machine learning–based AI would be delivered down the line. It’s now almost 3 years since release and we haven’t heard a thing about it.
Maybe eventually we’ll be able to easily train a machine learning algorithm to play any game at a wide variety of skill levels (or at a very high level, if not at customisable levels), but it doesn’t seem like it’s any time soon.
It’s an early access game, just finish the game instead of trying to ‘revive’ it while it remains incomplete.
A handcrafted campaign (ever seen a non-handcrafted campaign?) seems like something you’d save for a full launch anyway. It would make more sense to me to make sure the rest of the core game is fun and works as intended, then top it off with a campaign at launch.
I was so looking forward to this game because the aestetic was so cool…and then I played, and it was a buggy always online mess with a convoluted crafting system. So disappointing.
Currently, that is the case. Update 7 was supposed to have mod support for consoles as well, but that got delayed to a future patch. It’s coming though.
