That’s how you end up with Horizon Forbidden West having 3500 credits, because you credit every single employee of every single company and division that even looked at the game for those five seconds.
That also is kinda problematic, because now your contribution is buried in the names of all of your coworkers who didn’t work on the game, so were you then properly credited?
“Battlefield 6, made by {list of every single person currently employed by EA}”
One of the best builds to make CP2077 absolutely horrible to play is stealth + tech weapons. You spend all of you time crouched behind boxes, first trying akwardly to sneak your way in, and then shooting through them with the wallhack weapons.
Meanwhile other players clear the same mission in 45 seconds looking like the worlds biggest action hero badass with sandevistan and katanas and hacks and shit :D
Kinda. Same as me, they know why the launch failed - no notifications - but don’t say anything why the notifications didn’t get sent.
Steam has a section for the developers for setting up the release date. It specifically states that you need to be careful with it, because two weeks before that date you start getting visibility on the “upcoming releases” list, and will then show up in the “new releases” section, and once that happens, you can’t change it.
And Planet Centauri is showing their official release date as being “3 Jun, 2016”, not the 2024 date they left Early Access as it’s supposed to. So did they mess that up and the notifications were actually sent, but they went out nine years ago? Or did Steam glitch when this game specifically left EA, not updating the date and not sending the notifications?
If it did, were other games affected?
Why it happened I can’t say, but I know what caused the failed launch - the game has an early access date and release date both in 2016. Steam didn’t send the mail that the game had released when it left EA because from their point of view, it had already released nine years ago.
Other games that have recently left EA have their release date update to the date they leave EA. No clue if it’s something that (should) happen automatically, or if it’s something the devs missed.
And a really shitty one, price difference between those two for a manufacturer ordering things in massive quantity is barely anything. Sony saves $5 per console, users lose 20% of their storage.
If someone has those kinds of hours in a new game it’s a sign of having no life, but playtime starts stacking up real fast - just three hours a day gets you to 1000 total in a year, and MonHu World is already seven years old.
For me that game was Deep Rock Galactic, I played it for around 700 hours in the first year or so just by running a few missions each day.
The only way I could manage my evil dark urge & minthara playthrough was to leave Karlach entirely unrecruited. Not that you could even get that far with her anyway as she doesn’t agree with evil choices and will sooner or later leave.
Just be thankful they haven’t followed inflation of both the value of money, and their budgets. A $40 NES game would be $120 in todays money and it was probably made in a month by three people in a shed, meanwhile something like CoD Black Ops Cold War credits over 9000 people and had a budget of $700 million. GTA 6 has already blown past a billion.
Though nyko should be on the hook to buy you a new switch if they design a piece of shit that wrecks your switch
Nintendo also tried to lock down the Switch 1 docking, and 3rd party manufacturers had to hack together a workarounds. "When Nintendo released the original Switch in 2017, accessory makers similarly had to figure out how to crack Nintendo’s esoteric docking protocols, and some of them (Nyko) allegedly led to damaged handhelds."
I’d more blame that for causing the issues in the first place, if the Switch spoke standard USB-C, then all reputable docks would work with no weird hacks.
If it isn’t ridiculously expensive and inefficient, it doesn’t really fit the definition of a triple-a game, because it specifically is the term for games with the highest production values and costs.
And the opponents wait for 2 seconds after finishing their attacks. Soulslikes are all about learning the patterns and finding the opportunities to hit between dodges, not about mindlessly hack-n-slashing your way to victory.
And different weapons work for different people, I have some I’m absolutely useless with because I just can’t work with their movesets.
There is an argument to be made that Expedition 33 was essentially created by a studio with 30 people (though once you add everyone that worked on it the credits do balloon to over 400) with a rather small budget, and meanwhile companies like Rockstar, Sony and Activision have thousands working for years and spending hundreds of millions creating games like GTA 6, CoD and Concord, so naturally they should be a lot more expensive to buy too.
They just shouldn’t be surprised if people don’t buy all the $500 Waguy steak on offer and are perfectly happy with way cheaper options.
