Overwatch had a PVE horde defense thing that came out around halloween that was fun as hell. I don’t know if they still do in the new one but that was the only reason I played that game.
I like x4. It’s kind of like Elite Dangerous but the flight mechanics are a little easier and you can command much larger ships and hire NPC pilots and build fleets.
World of Warcraft. I was really addicted to it for a few years but it really helped me get over a lot of the social anxiety issues that I had. I went from being really shy and barely interacting with other people in that game to being elected to take over a 60+ person guild by the time I was done with it. That confidence carried over into real life when I went back to school and began my career.
Have they changed up the flight physics in that game at all since like 3-4 years ago? Combat always felt like it was on rails compared to like Elite or x4. I like that there was a lot of other stuff you can do but that really took me out of it.
I’m even less interested in dealing with “interesting” relationship stuff in a video game. Had more than enough of that in real life. I want escapism, not reminders of trauma.
Most games don’t bring the characters sexuality into it at all so I wouldn’t consider 99.99% to be particularly accurate. That said I’d prefer if they left romance out of it all together. I’m equally annoyed by having to deal with it in a game regardless of which end of the spectrum it is. Just let me fight/build/solve puzzles/whatever. If I wanted to date someone I’d be doing it in real life.
He’s right. Movements need to focus on their thing. Workers rights already has a movement and it isn’t specific to game development. The two should both fight for their interests but trying to combine things that have nothing to do with each other just muddies the waters. How do you write a piece of legislation that covers both how video game rights are handled and also mandates worker rights? It doesn’t make sense.
I loved that game and RDR. I 99% completed it. The only thing I have left is the gambling challenges which are ridiculous. I should have did them before I finished everything else.
That’s the thing, who defines what artistic value is? I’ve seen some pretty creative pornography over the years. Is that artistic value? I’ve seen very creative depictions of violence and uses of profanity too. What about on the other end of the spectrum, Is Tetris have artistic value?
The devs rushing the game out half added results in them getting $225M. So they have incentive to be shitty too. I don’t know enough about any of them to say which is more likely but that logic goes both ways.
