That’s a good question. I would hope so!

It’s up to each game dev to police their forums, AFAIK.

I mean yeah, no shit. The steam forums could be removed at no loss to the human race, in fact it’d remove a non-negligible percentage of all really shitty talk on the internet if they deleted everything entirely.

Ah, they’re all crap.

Came to Teams from Slack, some upsides, some downsides. It’s a corporate communication tool, I don’t use it because I think it’s beautiful and elegant, I use it because I get paid money to use it.

All four remaining players are very happy!

It sounds like they actually control quite a lot.

Turns out, when you do something clearly not okay and then actively go and taunt the people who could sue you for it with it, they might just, you know, do that. Since you actually went and asked them about it.

Someone owned a patent for minigames on the loading screen which is why we did not get thise after Broken Sword. At least that expired, so now for example we got Mario Party Jamboree doing it again.

Yeah I suspect they own the remaining titles. So there’s no cost to keeping them on there. I was also really surprised they keep swinging at the concept, considering how tepid the reception was beyond the original internet hype for Bandersnatch. Which makes sense, people don’t watch movies to actively be ready to press a button on short notice, you don’t exactly sit down on the sofa to go “Oh I know, how about 1,5h of QTE threat?”.

It’s a very cool concept, but one that targets the wrong audience, basically.

Yeah but have you seen the cutscenes of DA:V?

If that childish word salad sounds “preachy” to you, you need to go to a different preacher! Yours can’t even english.

How can this sound preachy to anybody? Has the fascist right lowered their own standard of education enough to where they think Marvel-style dialogue is normal?!

I mean despite how I feel the linked article’s author uses a type of language that makes me wary of them, I kinda agree. The utterly Marvel way the game talks about things combined with the inane inability to ever have any conflict, negatives or issues combines to essentially make a mockery of very real issues.

And I’m sorry, it’s one thing to want to use art to showcase real issues and poke at them and shine a spotlight onto them. That’s good, personally I want art to do that. But when you essentially use it as a joke piece due to the inherently non-serious nature of all your scenes, it just becomes even worse than not doing it. 😔 Please don’t shine a light onto serious topics if the only thing you use the light for is to point and laugh and mock.

Now what happens if someone takes all the parts you replaced, and uses them to construct a 3D printer?

Do they own the A8? Or do you?

Ugh, I know the games are divisive, but for me they really did not work at all. I can’t even truly say why. They were below-expectations, yeah, but not terribly so. Just didn’t connect.

I got the same issue with FF16, tbh. While FFX worked for me (even though I’m weird, and think FFX-2 is better 😅).

Quite odd that this is supposed to come to Switch just about when the next console will probably release. I wonder whether this will be the switchover (ha!) title akin to Twilight Princess or Breath of the Wild.

Ha, 460k to create a modern huge scope game. Uh huh. Very trustworthy KS this is.

This looks… fantastic. Especially from a small studio. Love the setting they’re going for, something quite fresh.

Yeah sadly absolutely no clue so far.

Although, to be honest, that just means I’m neutral so far. Could also be awesome. The vibe is definitely there and unlike South of Midnight, they do their low-FPS motion well here by contrasting it against the super-smooth camera.

Hrm, not sure what to make of this.

From a vibes-level, this is “We got Wolfenstein at home”, UK edition.

This isn’t Dontnod doing this, but Deck Nine (Dontnod no longer owns the rights to the LiS name). So after how well True Colors worked, no, I don’t think it’s that. Was my first thought too though. 😅

And the worst is, the C-suites get to fuck shit up, reap massive bonuses, and never suffer any con-S-quences when inevitable their way of running the company causes shit like this to happen.

Well to be fair, only Cataclysm had decent writing. HW1 lived off its world building, but being a fresh setup it did a superb job with that.

Then HW2 mostly coasted on the success of HW1 in world building, bringing much of it down with its shallow design but eh, still good enougthe problem is that by now the world is known in large parts. Bow they need to bring in actual story, especially because we know from Cataclysm that they can do that.
