  They don’t though? Okay, i haven’t played any of their new stuff (my poison was Stellaris), but the base games have always been decent to play. Their dlc has been getting worse, Stellaris race packs just should not be a thing, but it’s not as bad as some people make it out to be.

  The reason Ubisoft is failing miserably is because the executive are incompetent. If they cared about profit they’d fire everyone above, like, game director and start again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Elder Scrolls 6 in the Summerset Isles would be cool, or so recently unearthed Daggerfall-era dev D&D notes have convinced me⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well time for a reality check: no one who made or cared about the elder scrolls still works at Bethesda. Cyrodill wasn’t supposed to be a generic European fantasy bore, but it was and Bethesda has only gotten worse since oblivion. By azura, I’m pretty sure no one left (in a management position at least) even cares about the fundamentals of writing and world building.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout: London hasn't developed into a Fallout 4-esque hub of new quest and expansion mods so far, and its lead has theories why⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t let this misinformation slide; fallout 3 is the worst game in the franchise bar none.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale has arrived in Early Access with Linux support⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Right now it feels like a direct upgrade to Minecraft. The only thing that’s really missing is an analogue to the villagers, but we know that’s coming. Other than that, the gameplay is better (better movement and combat) and the variety is better (more mobs in general, more blocks, more biomes), and it all feels more cohesive than even base Minecraft. I just can’t wait for something akin to Create, with moving and spinning blocks.

  It’s definitely worth the into price as is, but if they continue the good work then it’ll be worth that big supporter tier as well.

  Maybe one day it’ll be an almost half-decent base for mods to make playable. Still wouldn’t but it, but it’d be a neat turn around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale gets a cheap price point, all because its devs don't think the game is good yet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Player base doesn’t determine what’s better, the most popular things are often the worst

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale gets a cheap price point, all because its devs don't think the game is good yet⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Better Minecraft. Which you’d think would be incredibly easy to do, but the project has already basically failed before. My guess from all I’ve seen over the years is this is a real personal project for the dev rather than something that was ever actually intended to be released and getting a release is just a cool bonus for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zork I, Zork II and Zork III are now officially open source⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The rise of the Internet guide really ruined video games. MMOs especially are basically unplayable with how people interact with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hytale has been saved as Hypixel acquired it from Riot Games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Genuinely surprised hytale might actually be a thing. I wrote it off years ago as a failed project (at best), seeing this at least implies the dev is doing something.

  Corpos value control above even money. Microsoft corpos especially seems to relish in having control over others even if it hurts their market share.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Halo: Campaign Evolved announced for release in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed, well, if you mean after Bungie anyway, reach is a major high point in the series. 343’s insistence on writing being just an excuse to get to gameplay has left any future there as narratively hollow as a borderlands game.

  Pretty sure there was already news out that suggested subnatica 2 was going to be awful, or at least the last good game that developer ever makes. Sad either way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Eurogamer] Pokémon Legends: Z-A review⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds solidly mediocre, a new high for the pokemon franchise! Maybe I’ll try it when it inevitably ends up on pc, but it seems like the most fun anyone will have out of this game is the comically long radicalsoda review like always.
