90% of gamers do not stop pre-ordering games.

My Diablo 3 was your FF8. Also D3 sucked ass.

They did the same with Dota 2. If you wanted a key, you could just ask Valve directly and get one (if none of your friends had a spare), it was not an exclusive club house for the cool kids.

I don’t think it’s 4D-marketing chess, it’s more like people who’ve already shown enough interest to ask for an invite are more likely to leave feedback when they find something off with it.

I loved F-Zero on the SNES and an old game called PoD: Planet of Death on the family PC.

The remaster is one of the few remasters that are not just a rip-off.

Add Golden Sun to that list.

Making enemies really fly would be the hard part, I guess.

Cazadores actually walk and it just looks like they are flying. They are blocked by objects, can’t cross gaps in the terrain or cross rivers (they can’t swim either).

Vertibirds in FO4 are based on the Skyrim dragons and that’s why they tumble towards you when you shoot them. They can definitely adjust their height tho, they do that often to “avoid” the skyscrapers in downtown Boston even tho they can just fly through them. Not sure if it’s the upper part of the building that doesn’t have collision or if the vertibird is just exempt of colliding with buildings tho.

They won’t learn anything. They only nulled their bullshit because it would hurt their financial quarter because their biggest cash cow game at the moment is bombing. They only way to maybe make them learn would be if every single one of the “outraged gamers” would just uninstall and never play it again, but that won’t happen and Sony knows that (which is why they can try pulling that shit in the first place).

Good for the peeps in non-PSN countries tho. For them, this is a real win.

I started using Discord because Skype was pissing me off. Now, Discord starts to piss me off with their bullshit. I’m just too tired to move to yet another platform that will start sucking once it’s grown bigger. I hate this “social media” focus on every little fucking thing. This stupid “we are building a community” garbage should die.

Maybe it’s time for me to burn everything down and go live in the woods. I don’t particularly resonate with people anyway.

In case this is not sarcasm: Do not use selfmade glasses to observe the eclipse. It will temporarily or even permanently blind you.

Edit: I misunderstood. Pinhole projectors are safe. Just make sure you don’t accidentally look directly into the sun.

What a shit take lol

AAA does not describe the size of the game, but the size of the brand and publisher.

You will probably enjoy this video: redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=nYDmBdUalgo

Dude livestreamed Super Mario 64 for more than a month with a bot attached that perfectly abused a physics quirk based on floating point precision, just so he can crash the game at 0:00 at New Year’s by overflowing a value. This over-one-hour-long video is the summary.

That’s wanted by the marketing team tho. Hype creates profit, regardless how shit your product is. There is a reason why the Diablo 4 Facebook ad says “the fastest selling ARPG ever” instead of something tangently related to gameplay. It’s banking on hype sales, product comes second. They need to rake in quick profits to appease their shareholders.

Social media has conditioned people into swarm thinking and instant gratification instead of introspection and reflected decisions. Nobody gives a fuck about long-term consequences anymore. It’s sickening.

For ages, AAA games were classed as such by brand recognition, not by quality. Inevitably, they devolved into being just a platform to sell microtransactions. The shareholders want their dividents and the CEO needs a new yacht with coke and hookers.

It’s too easy to exploit the dopamine rush playing the new, official installment of a well-known series. Even if it’s terrible, the customers get their joy by ranting about how trash the game is and how they hope the next one will be better. BG3 being an actual game does not change anything and will not reset expectations.
