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.

ech,

Still there as of now.

Geoff Keighley: I do agree that the music was played too fast for award winners this year [...] it’s something to address going forward. (nitter.net) angielski

By the way - I do agree that the music was played too fast for award winners this year, and I asked our team to relax that rule as the show went on. While no one was actually cut off, it’s something to address going forward....

ech,

It’s also the first year after a notorious “too long” speech. It makes sense they’d go out of their way to prevent that happening again. At least they’re acknowledging it was a mistake.

ech,

Are you also as pissy about all the trailers that take up the majority of airtime? Because that’s all that was - another trailer. Turns out that a big part of TGA is (and always has been) about promoting future releases. Decrying that as some huge error is simply being out of touch with what the show is about.

ech,

You don’t have to be “right” about everything. Just let people be happy, dude. It’s not that hard.

ech,

It’s not a “misunderstanding” when you’re laughing about what you think is going to happen and getting excited about your “vindication”. You’re not helping anyone here. You’re just trying to get them to join you in your cynicism.

Once again, Just let people be happy.

ech,

I pretty much covered it.

ech,

Legit dropped Nier:Automata after it auto failed me for taking the “wrong” path to a boss fight. Hadn’t saved for a while and didn’t feel like redoing all that progress because the game arbitrarily decided to kill me.

ech,

I’m both disappointed and relieved. I love KotOR and was intrigued by what they would come up with, but I’m also quite sure it would have missed the mark in the end. It would’ve been nigh-impossible to recapture the magic. Shame this killed the fan-remake, though. We ended up with the worst of both options.

ech,

Pretty much from the dawn of gaming. There was another video posted just the other day about ADOM and how it’s pretty much unplayable unless you’re willing to put endless hours in to learn and memorize all the inscrutable details it makes use of, mostly by dying constantly.

ech,

No one’s saying you have to pay for games you don’t like. They’re saying you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about because grindy games have been a popular mainstay of the medium since its inception.

ech,

When did it become the expected norm to receive endless updates for a one time purchase? How is that a “pump-and-dump”? Unless the game is a buggy, broken mess (and maybe it is, I’m not familiar with FC6), once the purchase is made, any additional content or service should be considered a bonus, not a mandate.

ech,

Except this isn’t about DRM, or even online game servers. They literally said all of that will continue. They’re just not making DLC anymore and people are calling it a “pump-and-dump”.

ech,

What’s that got to do with not making DLC for a game anymore?

ech,

Gaas was a mistake and I’m hoping companies begin seeing this and course correcting. I get why it happened as it was wildly successful for most, but I’m pretty sure customers don’t actually want the same game and content for forever. Maybe there’s a way to fix it without abandoning the model entirely, but personally I’m hoping it goes away for good.

ech,

But… Like… Did we ask for that?

Most of the gaming community did, yes. Players want servers that last forever and updates that never stop, and they’ll throw a hissy fit if it costs them a cent more up front than it did 30 years ago. I’m not a fan of it either, but it’s where the industry is right now.

ech,

Because that’s how they make more money.

ech,

For anyone paying attention, it shouldn’t be. Anyone that goes back to business as usual fully deserves the rug pull when this or something worse is implemented again.

ech, (edited )

The state of video games is wild to see. People will play a hundred hours of a game and say it’s lacking. Players expect endless content and it’s honestly unhealthy for gaming at large.

ech,

I don’t really see the “sucking trump’s dick” aspect there. Most of the video is spent going over the legal framework that was being used by the administration with little to no editorializing. And the end of the video directly calls the politicization of the emergency powers a threat. If anything, I’d say the video was critical of trump, not supportive of him.

ech,

It’s not that bad. Kinda pointless, tbh, particularly for a channel that’s focused on vfx, but it’s not biased like they’re claiming.

ech,

Honestly, this doesn’t seem all that far-fetched. It could very well just be the art department being extra diligent with accuracy to the event start date, but the VI does suggest more to it. I suppose everyone will find out next month.

ech,

For me it’s not the speed, but the quantity. Docking? Loading screen. Launching off planet? Loading screen. Changing planet? Loading screen. Landing on the same planet? Loading screen. The only solution is to fast travel everywhere in an “immersive” space sim RPG. NMS and Elite:Dangerous have solved this issue. Bethesda needs to get with the times already.

ech,

Pete in June:

“I do think, though”, he concedes, “we have stumbled, and it feels like stumbling on a mechanic that has never been seen in a game before.”

“And a lot of this is very mystical because I’m trying to avoid to tell you what it’s like. But it’s going to be a lot more like a kind of Fable - Black and White - Dungeon Keeper kind of experience”

Of course it was blockchain bullshit.

ech,

Your phrasing suggests blockchain is only being used here to facilitate an actual interesting game, which I can guarantee is not true.

ech,

My point, albeit overly obtuse, was that the game is blockchain. He didn’t patch on the idea just to get funding.

ech, (edited )

It could, sure, but I’m positive the only reason he’s making it is because of blockchain. I seriously doubt Pete was rolling around a game idea for online real estate separately and just threw blockchain in as a way to get funding.

ech,

Could we collectively agree to not all-caps the title? I know it’s the official stylization and all, but boy is it not fun to look at.

ech,

No worries. I don’t blame you, it’s just a pain to look at, hah. Any fault lies on Squenix’s shoulders here.

ech,

Are you under the impression that Embracer is doing this for the sake of “artistic integrity”?

ech,

So you’re just cheering on blatant capitalistic bullshit because of your presumption of other “capitalistic” offense of a developer you know nothing about?

Unity issue an apology on Twitter for "confusion and angst" over the runtime fee policy. (nitter.net) angielski

We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical...

ech, (edited )

It’s truly the year of mask-off corporate reveals. WotC, Reddit, Unity, Twitter. Probably more I’m forgetting or unaware of. So many big moves to capitalize on long time stability that, quite predictably, result not in amazing increase in profits but the irrevocable tarnishing of public trust that they relied on. It’s kinda wild to watch, honestly.

ech,

Aside from the alleged child abuse, which if true is horrid, I don’t really get people’s problems with content they don’t like. That wiki page is so overboard, it’s absurd. What exactly is it about the content that they can’t simply ignore it? Did Tim Buckley go to their home personally and Clockwork Orange every issue into their brain? Just let people make what they want (within reason), and if you (the figurative you) don’t like it, just ignore it and go find something you do. No need to add so much negativity into the world.

ech,

To be clear, I’m not saying he doesn’t deserve criticism. I have no love for Buckley. He probably deserves most of it. But spending so much effort on wiki pages like that and on thinking about content you simply don’t like is so pointless. And it’s not just CAD hate. This kind of mentality permeates the internet and seems to latch onto everything. It’s so tiring to see.

ech,

Yeah, I gathered it was edgy bs by the goatse logo. It’s just so dumb and disheartening to consider that nonsense like this could discourage someone from following their passion, just because sadsacks feel compelled to drag everyone down to their level.

ech,

Humans using past work to improve, iterate, and further contribute themselves is not the same as a program throwing any and all art into the machine learning blender to regurgitate “art” whenever its button is pushed. Not only does it not add anything to the progress of art, it erases the identity of the past it consumed, all for the blind pursuit of profit.

ech,

Generative AI is trained on thousands and millions of images and data points from equally numerous artists.

Congrats on pinpointing the problem.

ech,

Me not knowing everything doesn’t mean it isn’t known or knowable. Also, there’s a difference between things naturally falling into obscurity over time and context being removed forcefully.

ech,

If it’s “too difficult” to manage, that may be a sign it shouldn’t just be let loose without critique. Also, innovation is not inherently good and “rolling with it” is just negligent.

ech,

Does meandering into other’s conversations and arbitrarily insulting people make you feel better about yourself?

ech,

There’s stuff like Curseforge, but it’s only for some games, mostly Minecraft. The problem, if someone considers it a problem, is really that communities for games generally centralize around one site for their mods for the most part, and Nexus has garnered a lot of trust and therefore has more pull/inertia for communities working those things out.

As for Github, I believe the vast majority of mods have Github pages, but Github itself doesn’t really have a UI suited for mod downloaders, and no real incentive to implement one. So sites like Nexus and Curseforge are still a necessity.

ech,

Or, maybe, inclusivity is never a bad thing, regardless of your personal level of cynicism. Hate the world all you want, but there are people out there that appreciate and deserve things like this.

ech,

But that’s probably more my personality (I hate being publicly praised) than anything else.

Revisit this thought whenever you consider if other people “really care” about something that you don’t instead of questioning whether inclusion is ever “necessary”.

ech,

How I choose to make my character look has no impact on anyone else’s experience.

Tell that to the idiots making mods like this. Not that it changes anything for anyone but themselves, but it does promote bullshit bigotry over a menu selection of all things and fully deserves to be shut down.

And none of this is about “public validation”. It’s about having even just one more avenue for people that don’t happen to be cis white males to make a character for themselves that’s more relatable. More options should always be welcome. It hurts nobody and lifts up many.

ech,

Nice! Personally I don’t have any particular issue with Nexus, but it’s always nice to see diversity. Monopolies are pretty much never good for end users.

ech,

That’s fair.

ech,

Was anyone else unreasonably hoping they got Ryan Reynolds involved? Obviously the longest of long shots, but I’m still disappointed, hah.

ech,

Unity: Everyone really seems to hate EAEA sure is making a lot of money

Also Unity: Let’s hire the CEO of EA

🤦
