I liked Andromeda the game more than most but I really didn’t like Andromeda the galaxy as a setting. I’d prefer to go back to the milky way with the species from the original games. Maybe set in the future after a major political upheaval or something.
but they do have all the money in the world, no external pressure, no publisher to shit on them, it’s just their developers and artists and a vision.
I think that’s part of the issue. Supposedly they do have multiple games in development and a large percentage of their employees are working on them. But they are content to let the creative and technical processes play out, without announcing too-ambitious release dates which inevitably get pushed back and still have a buggy game released. And sometimes they even cut their losses if a long term project just isn’t working out.
I generally agree, but it should still be trivially easy to ship the game with at least two options, as most ps5 games do. one high fidelity at 30fps and one high performance at ~60fps.
sure, we can quibble on the threshold of “popular” here. but you can’t question that WOW caused an absolute explosion in MMOs after it. not like anything before.
well the difference with steam is they don’t have upvotes and downvotes, they have “helpful” and “funny”. sure some people don’t use them properly, but it’s something. Maybe it would help Lemmy and reddit to bring in a funny vote too if you’re just looking for some laughs.
