Did I say I trust him? His speech is probably handed to him by a secretary. I’m talking about that speech even mentioning something besides rising effectiveness of the company further on, it isn’t even mentioned.
Out of all these IT companies it seems like Phil is the first to call it a painful process, not just optimisation. Seems like he at least understands what a bad press it is to lay off 2k of people so he doesn’t keep this happy attitude about that, and even promise severance payments. And compared to others, they just had a big merger with dublicating departments and other internal structural shenanigans always meaning future lay offs.
What a weird way to start a year feeling like M$ is the most ethical maneater, although they top the list in hard numbers now. Can’t wrap my head around it.
They won’t disappear anywhere so you can take your time. Blockuza is comfy and way less complicated than forth and fifth game, but all have something to them (:
No. Game switched it’s english title from Yakuza to LAD, just like it is in japanese. From now on it would be like that.
Gaiden was a shorter prologue game. IW is on the longer side and seems like it’s bigger than LAD. Plus Judgment 1-2, originally exclusives, found their way to Steam just recently.
Quake I, now remastered. I reinstall it frequently and it was one of the first games I tried on Linux, and it works flawlessly even though it came from a Microsoft-owned Bethesda-published Id. There’s something hypnotyzing in how responsive it feels so I don’t get bored nor with originar, nor with pretty new levels. Even boomer shooters don’t scratch it just like this game does.
Yeah. It ended up as a Pokemon Go with soviet solders, kek, istead off a full flashed masterpiece. And it’s depressing.
I’m happy tho that MG:R happened. Platinum Games did it in their own way, but they didn’t hold any punches. Unlike Kojima, they had time to do what they wanted to achieve, and even though it’s a niche game, it was a delight.
Even disliking it, I still saw how stylish and imaginative it was, akin to the OG MGS. The last half and parts of gameplay were very unferwhelming thanks to Konami. I wonder how it could’ve ended if MGS5 have been given the time wasted on that zombie survival flick.
For a business that already have many screens for showing queue and pushes their app to order stuff, on-phone controls in-app and a timer set to when food get prepared with some delay can be a banger. Also, gifts for the winners and leaderboards. I don’t use them, but it would sure be way funnier than clickers I saw in some of them, especially if people in a queue could just jump into a game at any point, with no start or finish conditions, like in an endless arena shooter deathmatch where you joon, you frag, you log off to your burger. Less waiting anger, more rhytm to the fast-food conveyor, more customer loyalty. Ah, and kids want you to order again to make a rematch.
They seemed to describe something other than regular, even old FPSs. If anything, these are the last tags in tneir library.
Video games are a medium of artistic expression. My favorites have something insightful to say with their story, force you to reconsider basic mechanics in new ways, make me laugh, and have proper conclusions. I don’t want to be distracted with goals outside the canon of the world I’m trying to lose myself in.
That’s why I went about old RPGs.
I don’t feel their message is well-coordinated. My first thought was that they played Elisium and Baldurs Gate 3, and then wrote that they want more games like that.
They have their taste in games, and lay it accurately with tons of ‘I know that X does Y, but not for me tho’. I expected some flame there, but no, just their personal opinion on what they like to see and lack.
Stepping into their shoes, I’d try old rpgs, quests, adventures accumulating in the backlog and already having their share of GOTY awards so you can hop from a masterpiece to a masterpiece.
They don’t go deep into why f2p and MTX are popular. It’s really just a sudden frustration that they aren’t as represented. Cheers to you journoperson, please take a sit between groups as rarely cared for as you do, or even worse
Yes. And this description gives me Alone in the Dark (2007) vibes: they explicitly stylized chapters and subchapters as episodes on dvd. Would they make something original to build a game around this idea? Would it be linear-only, for games like TLOU with limited choices? Or it’s just about patenting everything that’s not nailed down?
I think it would only stand out if you would be able to rewind and passively watch the in-engine recording of your whole previous gameplay (like in cybersports, or clip editors in some games), with an option to jump in at some sections. But it’s a little too much to implement smoothly, having no reason.
