I didn’t know BAFTA awarded videogames too. TIL

Well it’s listing only one game per year and BG seems to be the winner for 2023.

Never welcome news to hear studios closing down :(

They do say straight away that the concept and design departments are getting slashed, now with very few human artists, all who are forced to use AI in their workflow.

The same is happening in VFX and film to some extent, though I know that from personal acquaintances and not the article.

That’s it. The rest is conflated as you say. It is a very loooong article so I didn’t finish it. Perhaps I missed the real horrors at the end of it.

They might go up but I’d be surprised it will rival Skyrim. I’m a Skyrim fan, yet I’m not enticed to play Starfield for reasons beyond me. It feels like it’s lacking something and I can’t put my finger on it. I don’t believe mods would make much of a difference, but who knows, maybe I’m wrong.

I modded Skyrim (and Oblivion) because the vanilla game was exciting already, in spite of its flaws. I couldn’t be bothered otherwise.

I was laughing at the onion article and stopped- was that really published in 1998 ?!?!? Or is the date also a joke?

Mothra, rok temu

I knew the onion is old, but didn’t imagine they would keep a website with old articles still up!

Maybe I misunderstood something in your explanation. But afaik, jobs in the videogame industry are very much like freelance jobs and the position you have today is going to be very different from whatever you will be doing in 2 years or whatever. Heck, you are lucky if your contract lasts more than six months. Same for VFX jobs.

It’s supposed to be their hands, not there, haven’t yet seen AI making mistakes on purpose but I guess it could if prompted

You can just use NewPipe background player. NewPipe lets you create and save playlists. No ads.

Mothra, rok temu

I’ve seen xManager and couldn’t convince myself to install it. Do you need a Spotify account? Does it let you create playlists as you wish?

Amazing people make articles on… Nothing, essentially? It’s just encumbrance, right?

I was expecting it would at least go into detail and explain or compare how many items or units of weight you can carry, if it slows you down gradually or if it pretty much freezes you on the spot, differences with previous well known franchise games but no, none of that either.

Cool! I haven’t played yet, I like how that sounds

I think the issue might be that if you need the XP you may have to consider sex even if you don’t want to. I otherwise don’t have a problem with sex content in a game, if it doesn’t affect the rest of the gameplay mechanics

Yes, that’s to be expected, a videogame has to compromise a lot on the assets they use. A movie should be able to get something more polished up

Interesting take. I’ve been in educational institutions in South America and Australia and usually the bare minimum you need to pass is a 6, occasionally a 5/10. I think expecting most people to score a 7/10 to pass is a bit unrealistic, unless we are talking about school for gifted children or something. No idea that was the standard in Central Europe

Mothra, rok temu

I’m not a fan of RT because I find their critic score absolutely meaningless. IMDB is much better for me, I find the average people score rating usually matches my appreciation of a movie. I am trying hard to remember a single movie with a score of 5/10 that I enjoyed though.

Mothra, rok temu

Fair enough, thanks for the explanation

Mothra, rok temu

But it’s not based on any educational system. That’s just the spin people erroneously attribute to it. It’s just a percentage, and it’s up to each person to figure out what number works for them or not as an acceptable minimum.

Same with movies, another commenter said a 5/10 movie was good enough for them sometimes, whereas for me the lowest enjoyable is a 6.

All that is fine, what makes no sense is to expect others to have the same standards I do.

Mothra, rok temu

Ah yes totally, and never stick to a single review. Ratings tend to be accurate when they are the average out of a large pool of ratings

I would prefer for no public figure ever to become the community logo. Especially if it’s a political figure.

Some of that is probably reusable, such as the concept material. But when it comes to assets themselves, that’s a different story. Sometimes red tape prevents migrating assets from one game onto its sequels, meaning they may need to remake a somewhat different version of the assets.

Not so long ago I searched for a Spanish dub of a very popular anime and had a tough time finding active seeds on most sites listed on the Treasure Trove page.

I think YMMV depending on what you look for, and how old is it. I had much better results adding “Spanish” and “latino” to a simple google search. Turns out some people stream a single series on a website (as opposed to multiple series hosted on large streaming platforms).

Not in Australia, I can assure. Unless they are buying them second hand on Facebook marketplace

How noob/non tech savy friendly would you say it is?

I haven’t watched Sonic Boom or TLOU.

As for the Witcher, I’ve watched a few episodes and found the writing and direction just cringe. It’s also based more on the books than the game as far as I’ve seen (which I’ve read and liked).

I’m not a Castlevania fan. I’m judging solely the show here. Watched 2 seasons and gave up. Visually it does make clever use of resources, they’ve nailed the colour and bloom effects and they can pull off action scenes with very limited framerate animation so hats off for that, however the characters go off model frequently and it shows that it’s hastily made ( budget reasons I guess). The writing kills it for me, the characters and story feel very shallow.

Arcane is a really good show. Solid writing, acting, action, animation, and it’s also visually stunning. There was a lot of talent and effort dedicated to it and it shows. At the time of its release the painterly style was very innovative as well the techniques used to achieve that. I would also vote it n1.

I haven’t modded since the times of Wrye Bash. My neurons wince in pain as I try to remember which software did what.

Mothra, rok temu

I guess you are right. But a Bethesda fan might be looking for these features. So it’s not meant to sell novelty, but familiarity instead.

The novelty is in the space setting already.

Totally.

Ultimately I don’t understand all the bickering. I don’t like Subway or McDonald’s, but I also don’t rant that they are no good because they don’t have lasagna on the menu.

No, I’m not OP but I’m on the same bandwagon and for me this is the first BG game I hear about.

Okay so after seeing the bot TLDR and the other comments, I actually went and read the article. It’s a bit wishy washy as to why and mentions RAM could be the issue for S consoles.

When I read the headline I thought it meant it was also not viable for PCs either, which doesn’t seem to be the case at all. Most PCs have at least 16GB ram these days.

Why are people upset at all? I don’t get it. I actually think this is good, it will either force Microsoft to change their policy with consoles and/or release a line that can compete with PS. Or else. Meanwhile PC is still an option.

Mothra, rok temu

The article says they’re not allowed, legally, to do that, and the ball is on Microsoft’s yard.

Mothra, rok temu

I have, but I doubt I’ll be playing the game so I’ll go read

I tried tutanota and didn’t. Sorry for the late reply

Not the same person you reply to, but I think they meant some more gripping. More exciting. For you. Whatever you consider more exciting and gripping
