echodot,

They are pointing out that there’s loads of good games on Steam that don’t cost $80, given the prevalence of such good games there really isn’t justification for that price point.

The picture shows that a game that is yet to be released (I actually thought it was already out but apparently not) is only £35 ($45) If you want the bundle which gives you two games it’s only an extra £1

Personally I’m not that interested in snow runners it just seems like an infuriating game, but the fact that you can get it for virtually nothing is interesting.

echodot,

One of the most obvious signs of this is the fact that EA had a small team of about 10 people who made one of the best Star wars games that have been released in years. Of course it’s EA, so they screwed it up by shutting the servers down eventually but still, much better than Battlefront II

echodot,

Does that mean it can’t run on the steam deck then?

echodot,

That’s what I don’t get. Presumably there is some lore behind this game (unless they really are that lazy) so why don’t they just use one of the companies that they definitely have for the game

echodot,

It’s surprising how few people at the top you need to change in order to change a company culture. One of the companies that I regularly work with has gone from being a nightmare because we could never get information out of them, to a nightmare because of how whiny and demanding they’ve become. That was the result of the CEO changing, that’s it one person and it results in a totally different corporate personality.

echodot,

Placeholder art should go in the place folder art folder. Then just before release you delete the placeholder folder.

echodot,

Surely the actionable end state for Microsoft is to cease their AI support in Palestine? Of course they won’t so functionally this doesn’t really matter, but I agree that it makes sense to have a stated goal even if it’s just for the purposes of explaining the boycott to other people.

echodot,

The correct move is to call down an airstrike on your teammate by attaching the beacon to their head.

echodot,

I swear you lot just make up names of Linux builds.

echodot,

Game seasons are not really the same thing as live service games though.

I’m really not into Tekken but there are games I play that have setup. Of course probably the most famous of all been Foxhole.

Anyway the point is that without “seasons” (simply called that because it harkens back to TV not because there are necessarily four in a year) there isn’t really any natural conclusion to the game, so you have short tournaments and people rank up within those tournaments, but obviously you don’t want the tournaments to go on for too long because otherwise there’s no way in for new players as they’ll start way down the rankings and not be able to compete. The solution for this is to reset everything every season, but then you’ve got the problem that people learn the meta and are able to rank up to high ranks almost immediately, whereas newer players don’t stand a chance so you haven’t really fixed the problem, the solution to that is to change the meta every season. That way everyone has an equal chance of working it out for themselves and ranking up.

I’m pretty sure they even did this with OverWatch back in the day.

echodot,

Even if they got it right the first time if they introduce new characters later on they have to rebalance everything.

echodot,

What universe are you from where it’s coming out next week.

echodot,

I’m taking bets on whether we’ll get GTA 7 before GTA 6

echodot,

It’s not a bug, the swing sits in New York just do that.

echodot,

That’s what she said.

echodot,

So take it you’re not a PC gamer?

echodot,

Yes but you still don’t have a physical release

echodot,

That’s because the founding fathers forgot to put in the Constitution don’t be corporate dicks because they thought it was obvious.

echodot,

When you make a game trailer steam recommends two trailers (I think you can only have two trailers at any one time). One of them can be edited but the other should probably include some gameplay. Because just from that trailer alone it kind of looks like an RTS, I’m not getting any city builder vibes from it.

echodot,

It was such an underwhelming product at least from my point of view. I mostly just kept it docked but really other than Zelda games there wasn’t anything worth playing.

I still own it, but for the life of me I couldn’t tell you where it is.

echodot,

I’m pretty sure it’ll turn out to be illegal in the UK too, it’s just that the UK isn’t in Europe anymore so these things always end up having to get hashed out in the courts and then it always turns out that the UK basically just follows the EU standard anyway.

echodot,

Why are you arguing? You’ve stated your opinion, great we’ve heard it, but unfortunately it’s based on zero knowledge, so it’s worthless.

echodot,

By doing nothing. They are awful at reading the room, they’ll kill themselves.

Best bet is to just ignore them until they go away.

echodot,

The EU has said that EULAs have zero basics in law and we can ignore them.

echodot,

So there really is no excuse for the new Pokemon games to look so terrible.

echodot,

Their games have always been expensive , but they are but they’ve always been this side of reasonable. Let’s see how $90 games treats everybody.

I wouldn’t want to spend $90 on my kid, the little shit isn’t worth it.

echodot,

I think I realised what my big problem with $90 games is for Nintendo and it’s this, when I was a kid I used to save up money and buy game boy games. It was an important thing my parents made me do because it meant that I learnt you don’t just get given things for free (gifts are of course fine but at some point you need to learn about working to get money for things you want).

There’s no way he’s going to be able to get $90 in a reasonable time frame. What’s he going to do, cut lawns for 2 years in a row?

echodot,

I have to admit though the deck doesn’t look like it should be ergonomic. It looks far larger than it actually is and it is pretty big.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it is too large for a lot of markets. It definitely seems like a product that was designed for westerners in mind.

echodot,

There are actual YouTubers who are able to break down trailers so accurately that they’re able to develop maps who put out videos that are less clickbatey than that title.

I’ll just wait for one of them to put out an update, shouldn’t be more than a few hours.

echodot,

Okay so I’ve skim read the article and two things, one they need to optimise their damn website for tablets, so I can actually read it since half the videos were covering the text, two they don’t actually have any revelations, shocking or otherwise, because they are essentially rehashing already available information with essentially no new details being gleaned from the trailer.

It’s a toss-up on whether AI wrote this.

echodot,

Anyone who is even remotely involved in developing commercial software knows this.

Step 1 is growing a customer base,
Step 2 is making that customer base loyal,
Step 3 is and in ads, free tiers with more ads, bonus currency and other BS

Everyone knows that if you’re ever going to charge money for your product you charge money for your product day one. You don’t have a free alpha release or something and then expect everyone to pay later on, that sort of misdirect gets up people’s noses. Star citizen is an absolute master class in how to do this well, not morally of course, but definitely done well.

echodot,

Then why comment?

echodot,

Because the game isn’t out for another year and it’s unreasonable to expect them to show current gameplay because it won’t be at all representative for the final result.

echodot,

So Gears Of War is not an Xbox exclusive anymore (to be clear, this is a good thing). So what on Earth is the point in an Xbox again?

echodot,

It’s a weird game design. All of the enemies are like little mini bosses and they all have their own weak points you have to target to do any real damage, and unless you know that it just sort of feels like a shooter where the enemies have too much health. Off the top of my head I can’t even remember how good they are and actually broadcasting that information, it might very well be only in the tutorial or when you encounter a new type of enemy.

echodot,

He said that in 2006 so I guess it kinda made sense. It should have been re-released long before that though

echodot,

Well yeah, that will be their argument and legally it’s a good argument.

echodot,

If a leak causes damage to Nintendo’s marketing plans, then Nintendo shouldn’t have let it leak in the first place. That’s negligence on their part.

That’s not how the law works.

But your honour, he wasn’t even wearing body armour, it was so easy to shoot him. His murder is entirely his fault it shouldn’t have been that easy for me to do it.

echodot,

Loads of people seem to think that you can ignore a court summons by simply refuse to take it. Obviously that’s not how it works if you know that you have been served that’s enough. He would have to prove that he didn’t know he had been served which is pretty difficult.

echodot,

If he’s been served it will have been documented, the court won’t have proceeded with the case if they don’t think the person named in the case has been served, so the fact that he didn’t turn up to court means he must have been served otherwise they wouldn’t have had the trial yet.

echodot,

I’m so unimpressed with their release lineup as well. They’ve just done the same thing they always do, and made a minority improved Mario Cart and a lackluster Pokémon game. Or, and a tutorial, don’t forget that.

echodot,

I’m very sure you can even run blender on it

echodot,

Also there’s no such thing as indie switch games. Which limits the market and means that all the really interesting games aren’t even on the platform.

echodot,

£1,585.73

Not bad for 16 years I guess.

echodot,

Unfortunately it appears to be in some ancient arcane language whose mysteries appear to have been lost to time.

echodot,

But I repeat myself.

Seriously I just explained why they don’t have a choice, and you’re like, nah they’re still going to do it, even though I literally explained why that can’t happen. Did you even read my comment?

echodot,

It’s not more powerful than the steam deck.

The steam deck is a portable computer the switch can only play switch games. Those games are hugely expensive, and the price is controlled by nintendo who infamously never decrease their game prices even after 10 years.

echodot,

It’s not about discussion. There isn’t two opinions here there is the fact they’re not doing that and me explaining why they’re not doing that.
