echodot,

Basically I’m mildly interested in the back end of 25 and that’s about it. Although I’ve never been a diablo player so perhaps I’m not the best person to ask.

Even if I was interested in playing call of duty which I’m not I can get that on PC. In fact it would be a better experience on PC the console version is always frame rate limited.

echodot,

Same for Microsoft flight simulator. Why the hell are they putting that on a console?

echodot,

Oh yeah but then there will be another unhinged controversy.

echodot,

It’s Chinese developer so I wouldn’t be that surprised that their sexist it just seems to be a very common viewpoint in China.

They obviously know it’s unacceptable because they don’t want to be brought up on it. But rather than improved they’re just going to ban discussion of it or at least try to it won’t work of course. We’re talking about it after all.

echodot,

You would have thought that by now they would have realized that explicitly banning people from talking about a subject is basically a method to guarantee that they do.

echodot,

It’s just fascism at this point mascarading as communism. Rather like Russia in that regard.

echodot,

Unreal Engine is pretty good value for money already. You can make quite a large amount of money as an indie Dev before you have to give them any cut.

echodot,

The thing is, we don’t need a demo trending page all that much. Since you says will find the demos only game store page, they ain’t looking at the trending list to find them

echodot,

They have the same attitude I have to tech support tickets.

If I call and the user doesn’t answer then I guess the issue is fixed isn’t it? Ticket closed.

echodot,

I’m sort of confused about why Valve even care that much. Surely they know that “leaks” are the best way to build hype for a game.

Although Valve are making a game again, so I’m not sure how much hype they really need.

echodot,

I had one which turned out to be the cop that did it. I have no idea if that was intentional or a bug but it was certainly funny.

echodot,

So is this a new emerging genre? Poker Like?

echodot,

The reason that they can be a lawsuit is you can sue for anything in the US, doesn’t mean that it has any merit to it, or the case will ever even be heard.

echodot,

Somebody was showing off an AI technique to de-interlace old videos. This is a problem that is notoriously difficult to solve algorithmically you either end up with blurs or you end up with crossfade.

This will revolutionize the old VCR porn market

echodot,

I was in a meeting yesterday where one of our corporate managers admitted he doesn’t actually know what his job is supposed to be.

But realistically is that his fault, or the companies?

echodot,

I do not understand why anyone bought Destiny 2, The first game was so uneven and hard to define, was it a MMO or a loot shooter or what, and then they came out with another game without fixing the first one, why would you expect it to be any better?

echodot,

I keep thinking people are going to make my dream game and then they make it too big and then it doesn’t work.

I just want a space game set in a single solar system planets with multiple locations that I can fly around do stuff in. Basically just make the Expanse into game.

But they are always trying to make it the whole sodding universe, and then inevitably say you have FTL, because otherwise it would be boring, and then it turns out that it’s just a bunch of cutscenes playing between various levels and it isn’t a whole cohesive environment at all.

Even Elite Dangerous is guilty of this, although they are much better at hiding it.

echodot,

Why can’t they just do anti-cheat the way it’s always being done, which is to identify cheaters and then stick them in a lobby with each other? I appreciate it means we might have to put up with some cheaters for 5 minutes, but realistically it’s hardly a high stakes situation.

echodot,

He’s just bored at this point. I would love to know whose idea that was.

echodot,

I’m so confused about what fortnite even is now. It used to be a game where you fought zombies, now I have no idea

echodot,

Not that that was a very useful comparison because I don’t think any car can survive being shot with a 50 cal that’s kind of the point of them. They kill vehicles.

echodot,

So it’s CoD but with building mechanics

echodot,

Did they try having some games I might be interested in? I don’t feel like they need marketing I feel like everyone knows about Xbox, then the fact that they exist. The big problem is that I have no reason to buy one.

At some point have they tried possibly making a decent halo game? Because the recent installments have not been good.

echodot,

It helps to make games people actually want. I know that seems obvious, but so many game studios just make games that are fine, but are not exactly inspired.

echodot,

What I mean is don’t make 48 Assassin Creed games. They’re fine of course but when was the last time you were actually excited by one?

echodot,

As with most games I’ll wait until about 3 months after it releases before I consider whether I’m going to buy it. It’s not like it’s going to run of copy’s out is it?

echodot,

My copy looked a bit different.

echodot,

Sunk cost, they pre-ordered it, and they are darn well going to play it, even if they don’t enjoy doing so.

Don’t pull the video games especially when they’re digitally distributed. It’s not like they can run out.

echodot,

Starfield’s big problem is it’s a huge universe built on an engine that really can’t support massive worlds like that. The reason you can’t fly around on the surface of a planet is because their crappy engine can’t cope with that much space existing, and it can’t load more environment when you get to the edges like every other game does because their engine doesn’t support proper level streaming.

If you mod the game to force the issue it gets glitchy very very quickly.

echodot,

I have no problem with people liking it. But I know for a fact that a lot of people really are just obsessed with it because they got bamboozled into pre-ordering, because Bethesda, and they don’t want to admit they made a mistake.

echodot,

The thing is when people put games on Steam they account for the fee that they take. So in a sort of way the lawsuit is right, Valve are effectively causing players to get overcharged for games.

But if I put the same game on both Steam and GoG And make the gog one 20% cheaper, I still get more sales on the Steam page. If I only have it on GOG people actually complain even when you point out that it’s cheaper that way.

So Valve are causing players to get overcharged but players are forcing publishers to put their games on Steam. So players are causing players to get overcharged, so what can you do?

echodot,

I swear they’ve already done this at least once.

echodot,

Well if they include multiplayer then it will definitely require that.

echodot,

Paradox seems to be having some problems at the moment. No idea what is going on.

I think it is just an issue that management is greenlit to many projects simultaneously and now there aren’t enough resources to go around (shockingly), so they have to suspend some stuff so they can focus on other stuff.

echodot, (edited )

Honestly it’s cute that you think that the British government give a damn what you think. They are incompetent and corrupt, why would you possibly think that they would have the mental capacity to effectively respond to this petition?

The Conservatives only care about profit, what you’re asking them to do is legislate against businesses. They do not do that. They are not going to implement any pro-consumer laws because that just gets in the way of making large sums of money at the expense of everything else.

echodot,

Banging your head against the wall is not a solution if banging your head against the wall has no possible hope of having an effect.

echodot,

Yeah because I said that didn’t I.

Jesus Christ doing pointless stuff is pointless. I’m all for action that is effective but petitions on the government website have literally never achieved anything in the entire history of the system existing.

echodot,

But the petition isn’t going to work so you’ve also done nothing.

echodot,

Yeah whereas you’re doing loads

echodot,

Realistically that is actually the only option.

Turning back time but just hoping that the EU implements something. Then we all get to benefit from the Brussels effect. There really isn’t anything that we can do.

The best we can hope for is we can vote for whoever is necessary in your constituency to get the Tories out, and hope that Labour care, but they probably won’t.

echodot,

No I am talking about this specific thing. My point is that people sign the petition and then get all smug and feel like they’ve done something, the government doesn’t care about it, as is evidenced by their response.

If you want to do something go and publicly protest it’s the only thing that gets their attention. Things might be different in whatever country you’re from but in the UK petitions are not worth the paper they’re not written on. Also this petition was stupid anyway because it’s too focused on video games, (as opposed to software in general, operating systems, critical business applications, and device drivers) which basically guaranteed the government were going to ignore it from the outset.

This petition could have been much more broad and it would have had much more marketable appeal. All I’m doing is pointing that out, and I’m getting hate from all sides from people who seem to think that the government should somehow care about video games as much as they do. Now, if somebody came up with an actual campaign that had any chance of victory I’d be all on it. The trouble is no one ever does. They just create petitions ad infinitum.

echodot,

It’s the EU’s fault and their stupid ill thought out law. Even they admit that it’s bad, and it’s only made things worse.

echodot,

Calling things in OverWatch style shooter is a bit like calling every first person shooter a Doom clone. Just call it a hero shooter I know what a hero shooter is. You don’t need to compare it to another game.

It’s bad enough that the term a “roguelike” exists, I can guarantee that hardly anyone who plays them has ever actually played rogue, and fair enough since it’s ancient, so they have no idea if the game they’re playing is like it or not.

echodot,

Yes it is. They completely failed to specify what would constitute compliance. They were warned repeatedly about this when the law first came out.

It has good intentions behind it but the law itself doesn’t work. They haven’t reduced privacy violations at all because everyone just clicks yes because it’s so frustrating, And it isn’t against the law to implement these dark patterns so what’s the point?

Marvel Rivals Apologizes Following Alpha Banning Controversy (gamerant.com) angielski

​​​​​​With such a broad scope on what counts as “disparagement,” this has caused quite a stir among the community, with some players being banned without realizing the terms of this contract. The developers released a statement addressing these terms, with NetEase saying it is aware of the “inappropriate and...

echodot,

Even that doesn’t make sense though. How would people not have caught on when they were banning people but not telling them what for other than you violated some terms of service agreement?

The obvious next step would be to actually go look at the agreement.

So this outcome was 100% inevitable, and moreover 100% predictable. How else could it possibly have gone down.

echodot,

They are probably concerned because management has decided that the game should be shown off even though it’s probably not ready. This is that kind of clouged together solution.

As per usual it just seems to have blown up in their gormless faces.

echodot,

It’s already been decided in Europe. Terms of service have about as much legal weight as toilet paper. Usually what’s true in Europe is true in California as well so I assume something similar has happened over there.

echodot,

If it’s actually a closed beta then it shouldn’t be open to streamers at all. If are going to allow stream is to play it then it’s not really a closed beta. It’s a marketing gimmick.
