- Comment on The psychogeography-est of Disco Elysium's spiritual successors is a gonzo journalism RPG named Hopetown 1 hour ago:
The corporate destruction and subsequent ridiculous fallout is incredibly disco elysium, I’m 100% here for all the successor studios.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 publishing director thinks GTA 6 might have the "clout" to normalise a $100 price tag 2 days ago:
Don’t forget the drop in necessary production costs, tools have only gotten better and cheaper while corpos have valued less and less.
- Comment on Cubic Odyssey announced as a fusion of Minecraft and No Man's Sky 1 week ago:
Nms absolutely doesn’t hit the way Minecraft does, and it isn’t the blocks. Minecraft allows for much more free expression with what you build than NMS does (from what little I’ve played of NMS).
- Comment on Minecraft gets new pigs, wildflowers and ambient features in the latest Beta 1 week ago:
… They didn’t already have the leaf thing? Whatever, I’m not particularly interested in the update (or snapshot, i suppose), but it looks like they are filling out small details they’ve ignored or never even thought of, which is a good thing. I’d rather have fine detail than a half assed new system that’s disconnected from everything.
- Comment on School shooting lawsuit reveals that Black Ops Cold War cost $700 million, the highest development cost yet reported by a publisher 2 weeks ago:
Fucking how?
- Comment on After much talk of an acquisition, Sony and FromSoftware parent Kadokawa announce "strategic alliance" 5 weeks ago:
It’s not the worst case scenario, but it’s still not good news for multiple industries.
- Comment on Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl gets a massive patch with an AI overhaul and lots of A-Life fixes 5 weeks ago:
Say less, I’m in.
- Comment on Core Keeper developer announced KYORA that looks suspiciously like Terraria where "every pixel is yours to shape" 5 weeks ago:
I’ve seen a few terraria likes but none have reached those vaunted heights, sadly
- Comment on Funko issue a statement about the itch.io take-down, while also apparently calling itch founder's mom 1 month ago:
What in the god damn? That’s seriously insane, hopefully funko takes some kind of hit.
- Comment on Dread toy-peddler Funko Pop gets cool, handsome Itch.io taken offline via dodgy "AI-powered" brand protection 1 month ago:
Man, funko needs to sink. That low quality trash does nothing but fuck up the environment when people inevitably toss it.
- Comment on The next Dragon Age game might be another "reinvention", say BioWare, drawing parallels with Final Fantasy 1 month ago:
“we have no idea what we are doing” and “we don’t want to fuck up this badly again” but with more ego assuaging is what I’m hearing here.
- Comment on You’ve got ten days to pick up the original Warcraft I & II from GOG before Blizzard pull them, but GOG will support their preservation forever 1 month ago:
Eh, they weren’t that great.
- Comment on Project Zomboid set for a massive update that should get a Beta before Christmas 1 month ago:
The definitive zombie game, cataclysm dark days ahead. In my latest game i built a battle train.
- Comment on Nintendo is targeting members of a popular Switch piracy subreddit | VGC 1 month ago:
So this latest wave of pointless attacks is to try to destroy the competition of their next console, yeah?
- Comment on No Man's Sky Head Claims Team Isn't Close To Being Done With Game's Content 1 month ago:
Idk, old Minecraft generation was excellent. All they really needed to do was make it literally deeper/taller and make the biomes wider. The extreme and weird landscapes were rewarding to explore on their own back then. Imo developers just need to be comfortable letting interesting landscapes from instead of boring, uniform ones like NMS does. The novelty would eventually wear off, sure, but it’d last a lot longer.
And community worlds is an excellent idea. Having custom planets, or hell even just things players have made in their games, show up would add a lot to any game like this.
- Comment on Riot Games is cracking down on players’ off-platform conduct 1 month ago:
On the one hand, i fully believe they should be able to target players they know are a problem without them strictly breaking TOS, but i tend not to completely trust corpos. Not that i care about riot games anyway.
- Comment on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2's first big patch is out with 650 fixes for crashes, progress blocks, physics and AI bugs 1 month ago:
No a-life no buy.
- Comment on Project Zomboid set for a massive update that should get a Beta before Christmas 1 month ago:
I’m more of a cataclysm gal than zomboid, but that looks like a great update
- Comment on Assassin's Creed Shadows to Feature Denuvo & Mandatory Ubisoft Account Linking 1 month ago:
What the actual fuck? Is this game some kinda developer revolt? Are they trying to sink the studio?
- Comment on That lawsuit against Steam’s 30% cut of game sales is now a class action, meaning many other developers could benefit 1 month ago:
Didn’t the overgrowth developer make half of a game, release it, then fucked off into the aether? Why are they doing anything?
- Comment on Stalker 2 devs insist complex AI simulation of enemy patrols is in the game - it's just broken 1 month ago:
That’s, like, the one thing that needs to function properly in stalker tho
- Comment on There's a playable Disco Elysium 2 prototype in the wilds, according to a report on clashes between the "spiritual successors" 2 months ago:
I mean, a spiritual successor is absolutely on the horizon. It’s a genuine masterpiece, artists will be emulating it in some way for decades at least.
- Comment on Hybrid gaming controller MoveMaster has a new website, shipping to the UK now available and 10% off 2 months ago:
That looks so weird
- Comment on Sony is in talks to buy Dark Souls and Elden Ring parent company Kadokawa 2 months ago:
This could unironically be a dark age for Japanese culture, if our experience with sony in Western circles is indicative of anything
- Comment on Sony reportedly looking to acquire Kadokawa, owner of ELDEN RING dev FromSoftware 2 months ago:
More than just that, they are big novel publishers, they own spike chunsoft, hell they even have their hands in tourism and some science labs! Idk the broader culture of Sony, but experience with their gaming branch says this will be the disaster of our times for otaku.
- Comment on Sony is in talks to buy Dark Souls and Elden Ring parent company Kadokawa 2 months ago:
That’s not just what’s at stake. Kadokawa is a massive company and this will hurt industries from books to anime to game development outside of fromsoft. On the publishing and consumer facing sides, btw. Apparently they even own a few scientific and tourism endeavors!
- Comment on Sony reportedly looking to acquire Kadokawa, owner of ELDEN RING dev FromSoftware 2 months ago:
Not just a few games, this is gonna hurt anime too.
- Comment on Pokemon TCG Pocket Craze Continues To Hit New Highs 2 months ago:
Pokemon is never gonna get better, is it
- Comment on Dragon Age: The Veilguard's impressive tresses feature '50,000 individual strands per character for over 100 hairstyles' 2 months ago:
No, it’s pretty mid action combat.
- Comment on Terraria hits over 60 million sales with Terraria 1.4.5 shaping up to be another big update 2 months ago:
The sequel hasn’t fallen through
