Switch between GTA V and RDR2 and end up punching my damn horse every time I try to ride it because entering vehicles is F in GTAV but in RDR2 F is your dedicated melee button.

According to Abe, one of the most time-consuming and labor-intensive parts of game development is coming up with the “hundreds of thousands of unique ideas” needed to create the in-game environment. For example, if you want to put a TV inside of your game, you can’t just use an existing product as is – you need to think of a fictional TV design from scratch, including the manufacturer’s logo and everything else about the object.

I can just go into the asset browser and find a whole slew of TVs I can just add to my game and either use them as-is, or tweak the look a bit to fit my aesthetic choice and not need to reinvent the wheel every damn time. It’s such a small thing that’s just filling out the background, that adding details like a fictional logo aren’t necessary at all, unless it’s actually relevant to the plot somehow. What the fuck is Abe smoking with that example?

It does make sense if you replace the word time with money. Paying all those artists to make all those little details for every little thing is costly. But AI will do it for free.

“The” asset browser could be any number of sources, some of which are not coupled to any specific engine. AAA games do also use already made shit, especially when it’s an inconsequential background item like a TV. They just don’t use them for the entire game.

The reason I don’t really like these games with randoms is because even if you’re really good at the game itself, the other players won’t necessarily play the game and just fuck around a vast majority of the time, making it unfun. And if they actually are playing the game to win, it’s too easy to be on the crew and impossible to win as the imposter because the majority of games like Among Us I’ve played favor the “good guys,” which is also unfun. 😮‍💨

What’s that FPS someone made to be as small of a file as possible? It’s like a Quake rip-off, but the game runs as a single executable and is small enough to barely take up the space of a floppy disk (like just a few kilobytes)?

I’ve heard “we’re going to do something never been done in a game before” a few times in the last decade, and even the people who I genuinely thought could do it, haven’t actually done it. CDPR was already one of those developers. Now they’re saying it again?

Aw sweet. Finally I can understand what it would be like to play as the narrator in The Stanley Parable. 😃

Pixel Dungeons/Nethack be like that depending on the RNG. The color of the potions doesn’t indicate their effect; the effect is randomized and you could totally end up with Red potions that give magic, and blue potions that give health. Tho more than likely the red potion will be acid and the blue potion will be a bomb, and consuming either kills you.

The first time I was hit with something like this, I was playing Doom and my dad said if I pressed CTRL+ALT+DELETE, I could access the cheats.

This was back when it didn’t come up with the little prompt and some options, that command straight up reset the PC.

There are a couple of mystery games that are available in early access/beta that already use LLM AI to generate dialogue.

I’ve messed with 1 and it’s The problem with it is mostly in how it doesn’t necessarily regurgitate the info it knows into something coherent and logical to actually solve the mystery. That or they never ever tell you the truth. Since the only way to solve the mystery is by talking to NPCs to get enough info to piece the puzzle out, it often leads to unsolveable mysteries.

Now, if that problem with LLMs could be fixed, so it isn’t conflagrating multiple pieces of data into something new and novel, I think it would be awesome for making game worlds that are more alive and natural. Like instead of walking up to an NPC and clicking “rumors” you can actually just talk to them like a real person and they would respond in kind, as if the NPC was actually a person living in that world. It’s really the only thing I think would actually work well with generative AI chat bots, but the generative AI still has too many problems to make it truly viable.

It actually works better with trying to play D&D, because even IRL, players often misinterpret rules and argue. Which you genuinely have when trying to play with 3 AI characters.

As someone who likes games that can go on forever, I actually kinda want to see generative narratives to just have an endless story that provides more variety than the kind of “mab-lib” style procedural narrative for repeating activities.

Counter-Strike and PUBG are still in the top 10 most played games on Steam. CS is literally number 1.

Shit, even Star Trek: Online does what Starfield promised better, and it’s basically just another dime a dozen MMOs with a high profile licensed IP behind it.

For the most part, it’s either going to be missing a few things you’re looking for, or will offer everything but not actually be good/finished (such as with Star Citizen or anything ever made by Derek Smart, and why none of those are in the above list).

The truth was like a green crack through my brain. Weapon statistics floating in the air, glimpsed out of the corner of my eye. The repetitious act of shooting, time slowing down to show off my moves. The paranoid feeling of someone controlling my every step. I was in a computer game. Funny as Hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

If you can still download the legacy version of Dwarf Fortress from Bay12Games website, Adventure Mode is the best rouge like I’ve ever played. It’s not yet in the Steam version, though.

For a more action-oriented rogue like, I find Returnal to be fun as hell. Roguelike bullet hell 3rd person shooter, with a pretty intriguing story line if you manage to actually get all of it (finding story bits is as random as everything else).

Edit: Er… They’re on PC, though. DF could run on pretty much anything; returnal might need a decent gaming rig (or a PlayStation).

So… Is the movie mostly without dialogue or just 1 character who talks to nobody in particular? This is one thing I can not see being anywhere close to what the original is like, because the game wouldn’t really make a good movie if they were faithful to the story.

Ever since CGW stopped publishing, I’ve just gone back to going by word of mouth. If a real, actual person is telling me in their own words a thing is good or bad, I generally trust them. Especially if they are someone I actually know personally, or at least have shown themselves to have similar tastes to mine.

And obviously if something becomes super popular, I gotta see what the fuss is about if it also seems like something I would like.

It originated as a desktop os and you can download it right now

Well good news: They’ve also recently announced that they’re going to be updating it to be the same as what’s on the Deck. THough we probably won’t see an actual release until either just before or just after the new version of the deck is officially announced/released.

Also: The failure of the Steam Machine had little to do with the operating system and more to do with the fact there was not one singular “Steam Machine.” It was any number of prebuilt PCs with extra stupid steps. TO say it wasn’t meant for general desktop use is bullshit; a Steam Machine was nothing more than a desktop PC running this OS.

That’s why his new game is going to suck, on purpose. 😃

Wrath of the Righteous does it pretty good. The only sub game in the game that kinda sucks is the strategy game for the giant wars toward the end, and it’s more due to the fact that it’s not super robust; it’s just the bare minimum needed for that style of play.

Really that’s the most common flaw I see with “everything games;” they spend too much time putting everything in, but it’s never as fleshed out as it would have been if they focused entirely on one aspect.

With GOG, I just put the installers onto a thumbdrive.

With Steam, I was burning discs using its offline backup tool, but I haven’t had a disc drive in my PC for years now. IDK if those can be backed up into a thumbdrive these days… It only allowed CD/DVD images to be created the last time I ever used it.

Tons of my games were owned physically before Steam existed though. Those I just keep in their boxes in my closet/storage bins.

You can sequence break the game and not ever soft lock it. You probably missed a puzzle or something. Check the manual for clues.

I know it was the mic itself in my case, because the accessory also could be used in Quake 3 Arena and a few other online games for voice chat and it literally just stopped picking up sound after some time.

It wasn’t that seaman would just hear me wrong. The thing was cheaply made so it doesn’t really surprise me. But it also sucked that there wasn’t any other mics for the system, like there were VMUs.
