He even has the same amount of pixels.

ech,

Brace yourselves for Embracest, Extendest, Estinguishest.

ech,

Not only are the numbers weird, the games within the series (more than just the main 3) came out as exclusives to a wide variety of platforms. KH has such a bizarre history.

ech, (edited )

You’re still rewarding the Epic exclusivity by giving them your money now. They get the bonus cash from Epic and your purchase years later.

ech, (edited )

They don’t care. They already got what they wanted.

ech,

If I remember right, that game also had bugs with knocked out enemies that made it just about impossible to get the non-lethal achievement (bosses don’t count towards it, fwiw).

ech,

I know. That bit was for those unfamiliar with game and its achievements.

ech,

That’s the classic Bethesda experience.

ech,

From my comment on one of the other threads:

Here, I’ll translate - “We need an undervalued and underpaid studio that we own to pop out a viral sensation we can exploit the shit out of, who we will then treat exactly the same. Repeat ad nauseam”

Switch Advanced

ech,

Reviews aren’t pointless, but their impact only goes so far. I am assuming the massive amount of refunds had more to do with it, tbh.

ech, (edited )

and the Dev picks sales on Steam, not the publisher.

Do you happen to have a source for this? It was my understanding that the publisher handled all distribution. Hence the name. And if I’m wrong, I’d like to fix my misunderstanding.

ech,

I fully believe that particular occurrence was just people blindly voting for the games they recognized. Tbh, I’d be more disappointed if it was a coordinated effort. Highlighting a smaller game that is is great would be exponentially more effective and beneficial than using the awards to complain about a game you don’t enjoy playing. The studios aren’t going to notice, and neither will most people (like me), so it’s really just wasted effort.

ech,

Just so you know, supposedly you don’t have to vote at all to get the rewards anymore.

ech,

Forage Friendships

Not sure if typo or word play.

ech,

There’s zero indication that was their comment, though. All they said was they commented “on a feature”, not that it’s too hard.

ech, (edited )

Go to the wikis. Ideally the non-fandom ones, but even those are bearable with ublock set up.

ech,

“Mod Support” means (or at least, it used to) the game has structures in place to allow modifications, not that the company is paywalling mods that they “approve”. I’m not sure what the latter is called, but I’m quite sure there’d be a massive uproar if MS/MJ did that for java edition. I know I’d never play the game again, that’s for sure.

ech,

Straight up just a Switch attached to a head strap. Hilarious. Also, I’m positive people would pay legit money for a game that lets them put AC furniture in their house with AR.

ech,

“Let’s lie to you”

The Luigi avatar in the sedan wasn’t a giveaway? It’s a joke, man. Most jokes aren’t actual facts.

ech,

“Thanks for your support in growing this community without any compensation from us that we will throw in the trash the moment it becomes less than profitable. You can continue your unrewarded work for our new and ‘improved’ product that will face the same fate in just a few short years!”

ech,

Hall effect joysticks. That’s cool to see.

ech,

IANAP, but isn’t universal expansion understood to be accelerating? How would “weakening forces of nature” account for that? Assuming this energy could be “lost” (breaking an even longer standing and well tested principle of physics), that loss wouldn’t accelerate anything. At best the speed would remain neutral.

ech,

It’s not on sale, but I had already decided to pick up Pacific Drive before I knew the sale was happening.

Also picked up Party Animals as a couch party game, and Outer Wilds as it’s been on my list for ages now.

ech,

I’ve only played it a bit so far, but it’s been enjoyable fwiw. I’m pretty into looters and survival games, though, so if that’s not your bag, I can see it seeming boring. I find arena pvp shooters repetitive, personally. Everyone’s got their own interests.

ech,

Everything sounds boring if you describe it that simply.

While I generally just like survival and looting games, the setting and story are also quite interesting to me in Pacific Drive, and while I’ve only just started, the hazards are already becoming serious concerns in each level. I can’t say if it’s gonna be amazing or anything yet, but it’s been enjoyable so far.

If someone was into survival games much and liked the settings of games like Control, I’d figure it’d be worth a try.

ech,

You can! There’s actually quite a lot of adjustment options, which I always appreciate in a game.

ech,

Appending “-like” to any genre is so unoriginal and uninteresting.

ech,

Sorry it bugs you, but it’s far better than the entirely uninteresting/unoriginal “Doom-like”. I get it’s standard practice at this point, but I’m happy whenever we get an actually interesting, poignant name.

ech,

That’s abundantly clear.

ech,

It’s an observation, not a “burn”.

ech,

Speak for yourself. I comment on obvious things all the time.

ech,

“Originality” is overvalued. Yes, it’s an important aspect, but even near-clones can be great. Just look at Stardew Valley vs Harvest Moon.

Imo, the real key to making a great game (along with skill) is heart/care. If a dev is only making a game to make bank, it’s going to come through. And when a game is made with care and attention, that comes through in spades. All of these games have creators that clearly care about the game itself and, while they are being rewarded for their efforts, that wasn’t and isn’t their primary drive in developing or maintaining the games.

ech,

Instead it refers to something that the intended consumer has no, or little, reference for.

I’d argue that’s novelty, not originality, though you may be right in that it’s what was meant. I’d still say that’s not the critical piece in a successful game. Passion and care matter much more, imo.

ech,

This is why a lot of sites demand an account log in if the user disables cookies (or at least they did for a while). They need those cookies to link the activity to a user, and since they can’t do that secretly anymore, they just force the issue with a user account the user “chooses” to make.

ech,

“Out of the blue”. They were gobbling up studios as nothing more than assets. Any “good” that came of that process was purely incidental and this sandbag dumping when they started to sink was inevitable.

Remedy acquires full rights to the Control franchise from 505 (www.destructoid.com) angielski

Today, on February 28, nearly five years after Control’s initial launch, Remedy Entertainment, the team behind the Alan Wake, Quantum Break, and Control series, released an announcement regarding a deal between them and 505 Games, detailing a full transition to Remedy acquiring full rights to the franchise. While Remedy...

ech,

Fuck yeah. Remedy has just been killing it and having Control fully under their umbrella is great news.

ech,

Ah damn, really? CS publishes/develops some great games.

ech,

“Not completely novel” doesn’t mean something is crap.

ech,

Turns out every game sounds bad if you purposefully describe it badly.

ech,

Minecraft is the highest selling game (beating out GTA V by 110 million units sold source), but it’s not the most profitable. GTA does have it beat there ($9.9 billion vs $3.3 billion). Though CoD has them both beat at $31 billion (source).

ech,

That’s true (to be even more precise, the GTA metric is also for the franchise…which GTAV makes up $8.5 billion of >.>). How about Candy Crush at $20 billion?

ech,

And taking out 99% of the rest of the game built around the basic skeleton structure makes it sound bleak and boring.

ech,

It’s not “post” apocalyptic, so no. I’m not sure I’d call it sci-fi either, but it’s more applicable.

ech,

Hilarious article. Love it.

ech,

Most ‘physical’ releases have been downloads for at least a decade now anyhow, long before game pass was ever a thing.

ech,

In what way did a hyper-conglomerate buying up every studio they could for their own profit seem to indicate it would usher in “a new age of games”? It was always going to end like this.
