  • Star Citizen Pushes Through the $700 Million Raised Mark and No, There Still Isn’t a Release Date

    Jump

  • Any comparison is meaningless because for every bad thing you say, people will jump at you with the classic ol' "its still in development".

    The fact is that it's buggy, crashes all the time and you lose progress, it can't be played like any actual existing MMO - it's a demo atm even if you ignore the common resets they do officially on major releases. Until it's actually released and can be decently reviewed from start to finish it can't even start to compare to an actual released, playable game.

  • Star Trek: Discovery Beats Picard & Rises Higher In Nielsen Streaming Top 10

    Jump

  • Lorca got me through discovery for a season or two and then he was gone, I don't think I watched anything beyond it. I hear it's only gotten worse, somehow

  • Damn, thinking about the msn messenger brings me back to such simpler and happier times

  • Furiosa director George Miller’s comments on Mad Max game and Hideo Kojima prompt response from Mad Max’s original devs

    Jump

  • Same experience here, it's a fun and entertaining movie. FR is still better but that is a perfect movie IMHO, it'd be next to impossible to match or beat it in any way

  • Never understood what people see in that game, it was like any basic ubisoft open world game - grindy, repetitive and filled with question marks to explore and "clear". The ground combat was exceptionally bad IIRC, I gave it up after ~6 hours.

    Now if you got Bend Studio to work on a sequel... I'd be interested in that

  • Gamers Are Becoming Less Interested in Games With Deep Strategy, Study Finds

    Jump

  • Yeah, there hasn't been a lot of innovation in the genre and what we have is often a buggy mess - that definitely doesn't help the adoption of 'deep strategy'. I love games like what you mentioned but even I get sick of them when I start running into AI or optimization issues, where games devolve into snowballing or boring tedium after the first few hours, when the UI is a frustrating mess that makes me hate every second spent on trying to make it work the way I need it to work.

    Or maybe I'm just spoiled by the amount of polish and thought that goes into games like factorio or against the storm.

  • ENDLESS Legend is Currently Free to Claim on Steam

    Jump

  • Amazing and beautiful game, the only issue I have with endless * series is that the combat always falls short for me, but you can still easily get a few dozen fun hours out of it.

  • Stellaris gets a DLC about AI that features AI-created voices, director insists it's 'ethical' and 'we're pretty good at exploring dystopian sci-fi and don't want to end up there ourselves'

    Jump

  • Very easy time if it's about commercial use (well, at least outside of china). Companies need to have licenses for the software they use, they have to obey copyright laws and trademarks, have contracts and permissions for anything they use in their day to day work. It's the same reason why no serious company wants to even touch any competitor's leaked source code when it appears online.

    Just because AI tech bros live in a bubble of their own, thinking they can just take and repurpose anything they need, doesn't mean it should be like that - for the most case it isn't and in this case, the law just hasn't caught up with the tech yet.

  • That's a very naive perspective though. We're not blaming the guns for gun violence, it's the people, but restricting access to guns is still the proven way to reduce gun incidents. One day when everyone is enlightened enough to not need such restrictions then we can lift them but we're very far from that point, and the same goes for tools like "AI".

  • I thought this was gonna be easy

    Jump

  • Oh absolutely, it's a shame but long gone are the days of having access to like 3 games in total and having to play them all the time as a kid. Nowadays if there's isn't something new in the game every few months it just disappears from my mind - there's always something else, newer and better, to take that space instead, for better or for worse. I enjoy helldivers but after 80ish hours of repetitive missions, I need new toys to make it interesting.

    Jump

  • For me personally it's not Sony as much as how grindy the game feels. Requisition credits and most samples are just going to waste, xp is kinda meaningless so the only thing I'm getting are extremely small amounts of medals and SCs which just feels bad.

  • [PCgamer] V Rising review (89/100)

    Jump

  • I really like this game! Wish it had more pve content, as it seems it's very dependant on pvp interactions to spice up the late game, but even without that the exploration, combat and gear progression is really fun and engaging. The game also looks great and feels really good to play, neat UI and controls for both combat and building.

    Basically, if it were primarily a pve sandbox game with AI to fight it'd be my dream game!

  • Either that, or Sam was simply uncorruptible and should have been carrying it the whole time

    Jump

  • That's true, but even in Shire Gandalf wouldn't even touch the ring. When he merely reached for it he got Sauron PTSD flashbacks and he physically stepped away in fear when Frodo tried to give the ring to him later. He uses Frodo to test whether it's cool after being heated in fire and I imagine this is for the same reason, not because he considers Frodo a good guinea pig for experimenting with metal heat dissipation.

    Has 0 issues handling it in an envelope tho lol

  • Am I the only person that feels that retro games are better?

    Jump

  • I can give so many but you'll have to narrow down your preferences a bit ^^

    I've recently been playing Remnant 2, Songs of Syx, Age of Darkness, dotAGE, Helldivers, Valheim, Against the Storm... all really impressive and amazing games made by (relatively) small studios or AA developers with a passion for games. If you're completely new to the indie scene you probably can't go wrong with Hades, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Terraria

  • Am I the only person that feels that retro games are better?

    Jump

  • Abandon AAA, buy more indie or AA games and you'll find what you want

    Jump

  • Frodo should have kept that envelope from the beginning of the movie, that thin slice of paper alone let Gandalf handle the ring when otherwise he wouldn't dare even touch it

  • "PSN isn't supported in my country. What do I do?" Arrowhead CEO: "I don't know"

    Jump

  • It was a bit frightening for me to see how quickly the mob turned on AH during this fiasco and just how much vitriol and propaganda has been generated on the subreddit like this is any other ingame operation with the associated shitposting... except this time it could very well shape the futures of real people and fate of the company for years to come.

    Unfortunately this is the only way to accomplish anything. If there wasn't an outcry like this both AH and sony would just ignore any criticism and move on until it gets buried and forgotten. It's a world of extremes and the scales could have easily tipped into the other side, with people rightfully complaining about these shitty practices but getting ridiculed for complaining about just another account or sth.

  • Which RSS aggregator do you use? I cannot seem to find one that works for me.

    Jump

  • Does Fluent Reader count? Doesn't have an amazing interface but it's free and simple to use.

  • Helldivers: Internal discussions are ongoing about the mandatory linking change. The response from our dev team has been pretty universally negative and we're looking for better options.

    Jump

  • Tbf the social aspect was barely functional, I can't add friends from steam ingame since day one and we had trouble joining each other games if it was set to private.

    So I wouldn't say perfectly fine but then again, no clue if them basing everything on a psn username would fix it either.

  • Polar Patriots Warbond Trailer

    Jump

  • Well I dunno about others but I'm both playing less and when I do play, on higher difficulty missions people explore and open caches way less than in the early days.

    While technically not paywalled, for me personally it's definitely going to end up being like that. Down the line that's be fine for a live service game but it's a 40€ purchase and it's only been a few months, I'm not sure I'm a fan of this model in the long run.
