newthrowaway20,

Doesn’t explain single player games.

newthrowaway20,

Just to be clear. The radical view in this context is “metal gear solid is going political”

In this case, it very much was a joke.

newthrowaway20,

A year back he started invading my feed and I took the bait for a bit. Ended up blocking all his channels I came across though. My mental health has thanked me.

Today’s game is Spore. I didn’t get a chance to play anymore Alan Wake today due to plans getting in the way, so I dicked around in Spore with my free time. This was what I ended up making (I realized I have the maturity of a middle schooler)...

PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off (www.ign.com) angielski

Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now…...

newthrowaway20,

I didn’t know this was something I agreed to when I bought my console.

Now to figure out if I can block this.

newthrowaway20,

Got to be honest, this is the first I’ve even heard of this game.

newthrowaway20,

Or a Wrestling Faction from the late 90’s

newthrowaway20,

If they fix some of the wonky character animations during cut scenes, it might be worth it for that alone.

newthrowaway20, (edited )

I played through final fantasy 16 on PS5, and well… Let’s just say I’m not in any hurry to play through it again.

Once you’ve figured out how the combat works, there’s really no additional depth to it. The summon fights look spectacular but aren’t all that engaging. Lots of spectical, not a lot of challenge. The game is absolutely gorgeous, but it’s so so shallow in gameplay. The side quests are extremely boring. The main story is ok too. They really tried to be a lot more serious like game of thrones, but still kept it like right below that mature line, so it felt like a half measure to me.

There is absolutely no depth to the weapons or equipment outside of ‘number go up’. There aren’t any elemental weaknesses in you or the enemies, so The only challenge comes from the actual fighting technique, perfect blocks perfect parries, and chaining together different summon powers. If you like the combat, you’ll enjoy doing the monster hunts, but there aren’t many hunts compared to other ff games.

Overall, the story is decent, if a little lacking in focus. I’d probably say it’s worth picking up on sale, but it is not really worth the current price tag at all. It really is a shell of a final fantasy game compared to the past games. It’s a great looking action game, but it’s shallow.

newthrowaway20,

Oh to be someone outside, looking in at this series… It must look absolutely insane lol. As someone who’s been playing these games for years now, this feels right at home for this series to me.

newthrowaway20,

People went anonymous online and lost all shame.

newthrowaway20,

Remedy has always wanted to blend the lines between tv and games, so this honestly doesn’t surprise me.

newthrowaway20,

Lots of soft ball reviews here.

newthrowaway20,

Real small at the bottom right. " Account for Playstation Network required." At least they listed it on the requirements, technically.

newthrowaway20,

Yes, absolutely. If you made a PlayStation account back then, the same account will work. You don’t need 2.

newthrowaway20,

FYI, you can use the same account, you don’t need two.

I own ghost of tsushima on ps4, and logged into my PSN account for it on PC because I was curious how it would work. The PC version shows up in your trophies as a totally separate game ‘ghost of tsushima PC’ so they don’t blend.

But the point still stands, there’s no good reason for a PSN requirement for this game.

newthrowaway20,

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

newthrowaway20,

Cuphead is a banger if you like that kinda music.

Nier Automata as well. Very different, but hauntingly brilliant.

Also, fallout radio if you’re feeling that real classic sound.

newthrowaway20,

Hey, that’s pretty cool!

newthrowaway20,

Does it matter at this point? They lost a lot of interest in this game.

Embracer rolls out new AI policy to 'massively enhance game development' | Game Developer (www.gamedeveloper.com) angielski

Article textNewly-restructured Swedish conglomerate, Embracer Group, will leverage AI models to bolster game production. As noted in Embracer’s annual report, the company has adopted a new AI policy package it claims has the capability to “massively enhance” its production process by “increasing resource efficiency,...

newthrowaway20,

The executives that say this shit have such a lack of understanding of AI and the kind of work people do daily.

newthrowaway20,

So they aren’t updating the original? Just releasing a new version??

I kinda feel like they’re trying to make me buy the game again.

newthrowaway20,

Oh a 2-year warranty? Not sure how useful that warranty will be if they continue to deny every warranty claim.

newthrowaway20,

Churn is inevitable with any subscription service.

The trick is creating just enough value and exclusive content/services that you feel like you’re gonna miss out if you leave. But not too much.

I haven’t seen any incentive to stay with any specific game subscription service via exclusive content or services. But I do see plenty of attempts to lock people into services with shitty tactics. Like forcing save data to the cloud. Good luck moving that saved file to your own personal copy of the game. Or multiple tiered service options with features/games locked behind more expensive options.

It’s all manipulative and anti consumer.

newthrowaway20,

Sims 4 released in 2014. They had plenty of time to address bugs in-between the millions of stupid updates, but they didn’t bother. Who honestly expects any real work from these guys at this point?

newthrowaway20,

As long as it took to get these games on steam, I’ve completely lost interest.

newthrowaway20,

I could also see a database being used to coordinate game ownership with a fraction of the power usage. But neither will happen because consumers always get the raw end of the deal and nothing will ever be done to their benefit without being forced.

newthrowaway20,

Bold statement. Might wanna hold judgment till you actually see some gameplay.

newthrowaway20,

Yeah I agree.

We don’t know anything yet.

newthrowaway20,

Dual CEOs? I feel like I’ve seen this in a comedy somewhere.

newthrowaway20,

What’s healthy for the business long term isn’t healthy for the customer. Remember that.

newthrowaway20,

This is what happens when we allow gigantic acquisitions.

newthrowaway20,

Ugh.

newthrowaway20,

This poor IP getting dragged through the mud.

newthrowaway20,

Me too, but I’m old. I’m betting age has something to do with this.

newthrowaway20,

it looks like you’d wail on one enemy for 3 minutes until it gives out.

Oh you’ll wail a lot longer than that in some cases. Some of the summon boss fights took like 30~45 mins of wailing. And yes. The RPG elements are non existent, and the side quests are incredibly shallow and boring. You are spot on. No status effects, no elemental affinities, absolutely minimal equipment and weapon systems which amount to basically making a single number go up. It was honestly embarrassing as far as gameplay goes.

newthrowaway20,

If your choices are 16 and 7Remake, go with 7Remake. 16 looks pretty, but the gameplay is honestly extremely shallow.

newthrowaway20,

I guess I don’t mind it. The side quests aren’t the most exciting of activities, but they lead to a lot of great things. Like extra transmuter options, and party level increases for synergy abilities. unique accessories, and unique conversations with party members you wouldn’t see otherwise. Plus some of the best materia is only accessible from chadley. So I haven’t been minding it all that much. As you unlock life springs, you unlock more info about the environments you’re in. For me the rewards outweigh the monotony.

newthrowaway20,

Any idea if this is gonna require a PSN acct? Or is it optional?

newthrowaway20,

The resolution difference is extremely noticeable. I normally prefer a higher frame rate but this image quality drop isn’t worth it.

newthrowaway20,

But why are they boycotting?

newthrowaway20,

Wake me up when Valley comes back.

newthrowaway20,

YES

I only picked the psvr2 up for Gran Turismo, but if I can use it on PC racing games too, that’ll be the bees knees.

newthrowaway20,

The PlayStation 3 had support to install other OS’s, namely Linux. But it was removed after About 4 years with a system update.

newthrowaway20,

And just like that, my interest in either Crazy Taxi or Jet Set Radio evaporates into the ether.

newthrowaway20,

Carnival night zone act 2.

newthrowaway20,

It’s honestly amazing how well this game sold considering how mid the gameplay actually is. Having a popular IP really helped.

newthrowaway20,

I found the combat to be serviceable, and at some points I had fun with it. But it kind of got repetitive really quick. Like once you learn the core mechanics, they didn’t really introduce a lot after that to keep you on your toes. But the main problem I had with the game came from the quests, they just felt so monotonous. I love exploring the castle, but finding every little collectible just felt tedious and didn’t really seem to have any payoff.

All things I hope can be improved with an eventual sequel, I’m definitely glad I picked up the game. But it’s not something I’ve ever considered revisiting once I beat it.
