Thank corporate morons forcing devs to the door to meet ridiculous timelines, they don’t give a fuck if it’s ready or not.
I’m a SWE and my manager would tell me shit like “even Apple pushed out the iPhone with some bugs”, “at some point you have to wrap it and ship it”, etc. Mgmt uses this bullshit to feel better about their (or their bosses) poorly balanced priorities and decisions.
It’s all about announce early, bag as much interest and money as possible and then ship it regardless if it’s reached the definition of done or not (you better believe mgmt will throw those goalposts around as they see fit)
Pre-ordering morons hold some blame here as well as they play right into the bullshit I’m talking about
I didn’t even last a fuckin week… I tried putting off the final mission until I was just so bored with everything else and then I lost everything not knowing that was the way to do ng+. No shot im playing the same fucking missions again that soon, they were not that good to begin with tbh. At least with Skyrim I actually fucking cared about the plots and quests.
The only way this game could span years is if modders put in a lot of unpaid hard work. Shame on you Bethesda, how about YOU do the fucking work before you try to sell us on a shell of a game. Skyrim could and did do years without needing mods (tho the mods really made it shine), it’s a completely different story for sf
The only bright spot left is the creation kit coming in ‘24 and even then it’ll take time for good mods to come about
Wow looks excellent! My buddy and I have been playing groundbranch which is also a realistic fps sim but it’s still in alpha or whatever. Missing the IFAKs and the pain management and such but looks like this game has that from the start!
The dems have absolutely given us things to vote for: infrastructure act, record low unemployment, union support with the pres visiting the picket line for the first time ever, we have the best inflation rate across all of the G7.
Yeah it’s not enough but that’s on the contrarians more than anything else.
And? Sony has patented their way of doing it, big deal if it’s been done elsewhere. It isn’t something PlayStation games can do easily so they’re building a solution.
This article isn’t saying this is some groundbreaking discovery of technology or something, nor is it a press release/announcement.
While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.
Just because you reused a large amount of the shit from the previous games doesn’t mean you get to include those previous games’ dev time in the total of this game.
Goddamnit why the fuck do all the goddamn brainless morons over in leadership/product management get to make these decisions. It’s just like Google sinking their primary fucking product to “extend the journey” in order to increase promoted content views. YOU ARE KILLING YOURSELF, morons
I believe the technical term is “enshittification”. I just love it when the people that clearly have no goddamn idea what the users want, get to define the whole fuckin thing. Instead it’s “how can we push it out faster, how can we pump more dollars out of this shit without extending dev time or doing any other work for that matter”
Fucking terrible project management, it’s a fucking brain dead chase for unending record quarterly profits. Who needs a good fucking product that speaks for itself when we can shit in our users mouths instead and charge the same goddamn price?
The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats...
If so, that’s fucking ridiculous. Jesus fucking Christ democracy will die because Joe Biden didn’t force Israel to stop their genocide and only told them to stop instead???
Fuck this goddamn retarded existence just fucking kill me already Jesus fucking Christ
Every fucking capitalist/c-suite moron is so fucking desperate to join in on the financial subjugation of the lower class (US has no middle class anymore).
Eat the fucking rich, throw them out onto the streets and take the country back French style
will anybody think of the C-suite!!! How will they be able to face their other rich friends if they don’t wage-steal to ensure they hit record profits quarter after quarter???
