“He consented to me stabbing him dude, I dont get what the deal is. What, do you hate free will? He said it was okay to stab him. Get your hands off me, you cant take me to jail he coNSENTED, HE CONSENTED!!!”

wildginger,

Thats the point, dude, you shouldnt be allowed to put malware into video games. Its a fucking video game. It doesnt need that level of access.

wildginger,

Because it is obviously not true if you compare the models, if you have literally any experience of any kind with 3D models

wildginger,

Man, thats really funny, thats exactly what I was thinking about you when I read your comments the first time

Palworld Becomes the 7th Game Ever to Reach 1 Million Concurrent Players on Steam (www.githyp.com)

“Palworld is now one of only seven games that have seen over 1 million concurrent players on Steam – the others include: PUBG (3.2 mil), Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (1.8 mil), Counter-Strike 2 (1.4 mil), Lost Ark (1.3 mil), Dota 2 (1.2 mil), and Cyberpunk 2077 (1 mil).”

wildginger,

Man, people really do hear a phrase and slap it on anything they walk past

wildginger,

Its a line of white triangles inside a half oval shape. Its the most cut and dry “cartoon sharp teeth smile” design on the planet.

wildginger,

Its ark if ark had a version of the pixelmon mod, and wasnt buggy garbage.

wildginger,

Glowing yellow eyes is such an old cat stereotype that my grandmother finds it cliche, and the pals eyes are a sharper oval. The meowths ovals plateau and flatten more at the top and bottom, while the pals eyes have more of a pointed peak.

They used a “make shape” tool on some 3D modelling software. Egads, you mean the make shape software is going to make similar shapes?? As if its some sort of, what, algorithmic program?!?

wildginger,

Retail usually calls the cops and bans customers who threaten or scream at employees, which is the real world version of withdrawing communication.

I get your fee fees are hurt because a video game was not perfect, but people flinging shit like caged monkeys get shut down in most jobs. Its not excusable just because muh vidya gaem

wildginger,

… You think this primarily happens on their forums? Do they even have forums?

Do you know what email is?

wildginger,

Youre intentionally missing the point so hard Im starting to think youre one of the losers sending them death threats

wildginger,

If you get 10,000 death threats from 10,000 individual accounts, blocking or banning them does fuckall. You still recieved 10,000 death threats. And… Ive fuckin seen the twitter posts dude, I dont need CO to tell me about them. They likely arent mentioning them to prevent the risk of increasing their volume.

But, again, you are talking like a kiwifarm reject, so Im sure youre one of the people sending this “fanmail”

wildginger,

If it was only on their launcher I wouldnt care. Its the little exclusivity deal on epic that annoys me.

Its one thing to only sell your stuff on your own personal store. Thats fine, whatever. But to create fake exclusivity on pc? Nah fuck off dude, especially from ubisoft

wildginger,

Choosing not to use epic branded things because of the companies pretty nasty decisions and financial backers is completely justified. The world is not always about getting things for free.

wildginger,

Shitpost about human deaths, deal with the lectures on human deaths in the comments.

Dont like it? Shitpost about puppies. No one lectures puppies.

wildginger,

Its a beta for a reason, I doubt they expected this degree of buzz

wildginger,

You can give sheep guns, Im sure they will eat this game up

wildginger,

Master chief, he is in other games now

wildginger,

The steam page is pretty veil-off, they make it pretty clear that you gun down pals and can force them to work in factories literally to a death of starvation if you like.

I dunno if that carries through to the game, but the advertising definitely shows it

wildginger,

Wait, really? No evolving? Huh, it definitely looked like there were evo lines in the promo

wildginger,

Thats half of the games steam page. They definitely play up the ethical dilemma aspect of the gameplay

wildginger,

Thats not really NG+ then, thats just the base game.

wildginger,

All the reviews are “wow I cant believe its not a meme pit!”

wildginger,

Some console versions have a player max of 4 per server, so it seems to be single player dominant currently

wildginger,

Thats the main reason I ignored the sale. Looked akin to how I feel about horror movies.

wildginger,

What is the botters goal here?

wildginger,

The game is really not that different, you can play old versions just fine, and mods easily add or subtract any mechanics you like.

Its not minecraft bud

wildginger,

Is this pvz1(2)? Or is it pvz2(2)?

Because a sequel to pvz would be awesome, but I have zero interest in a sequel to pvz2.

wildginger,

They promised regular update intervals every couple of weeks to try and pad the flow of criticism.

So theyre talking about the update because if they dont, people will point out that theyve already missed the proposed schedule

wildginger,

Demos were bad for business.

A good demo for a good game was minor advertising that was dwarfed by good press. If every player wont shut up about how good the game is, their friends would skip the demo and buy anyway.

A good demo for a bad game was good advertising that bit you later. You got more up front sales, but got harder drop offs once word gets around that the demo was all you had.

A bad demo for a good game stuttered sales. Some people would turn away and maybe never come back, and it took time for word of mouth to tell everyone to skip the demo and just buy the game anyway.

A bad demo for a bad game was shit all around.

In the end, this punnett square made it pretty clear that the best option was to make a really good demo if youre game was shit, or you thought you needed the help finding an audience. but if you knew (or “”“knew”“”) your game was good? The demo was wasted time and effort. Either it was a smaller ad bump you werent upset to cut costs for, or you were slowing sales by accident.

Demos are good for us, but suck for the company making them. So they largely stopped making them.

wildginger,

Thats either because your boss privately wants to hoard wealth, or is trying to set the books up for a clean sell.

Public means you sacrifice everything in the name of profit.

Private means you operate on the ideals of the private owners.

A private owner can have ideals of profit. A public company cannot have idealistic shareholders.

wildginger,

I dont think you responded to the right comment, Im talking about the difference between types of companies, not property.

wildginger,

Ah, in that case I dont think you understand the convo at all

wildginger,

You arent actually putting forward a productive premise, of course no one is treating it as such

wildginger,

The irony is immense.

wildginger,

Nice, more bad faith misinterpreting of the point

wildginger,

You could start by actually making an attempt at good faith discussion, instead of pedantic attempts to hide from the point.

But we both know you dont want to do that, because youre not actually here for productive discussion.

wildginger,

Likely no dlc, hasbro laid off their side of the team who built the game so making more dnd content would probably be too much of a hassle and struggle for larian

wildginger,

Pretty sure they are well aware, and are bringing up a different accessability feature they also support

wildginger,

Ah, youre the kinda guy who says $1500 loot boxes are totally okay because “no one forces you to spend money!”

wildginger,

Thats what the soul items are for. You eat those while standing in front of a bonfire about to level up. Because they are an item, you dont lose them when you die, so they are safe exp.

Especially boss souls. If you dont want the specific weapon that boss makes, you eat that shit when you need the level boost.

wildginger,

Man, AI devs really are only interested in finding uses for this stuff that pisses directly in everyones food bowls, huh? Its like they cant finish unless the project has massive fundamental ethical problems

wildginger,

To make sure I understand. They added drm via an update, something went wrong, and they rolled back the drm update? With stated intent to reintroduce the drm update later?

Video game actors speak out after union announces AI voice deal (www.videogameschronicle.com)

According to SAG AFTRA, the deal will “enable Replica to engage SAG-AFTRA members under a fair, ethical agreement to safely create and license a digital replica of their voice. Licensed voices can be used in video game development and other interactive media projects from pre-production to final release.”...

wildginger,

Making the text to speech program sound like the voice actor who voiced the character who is trying to say your name is the part that requires AI.

wildginger,

While I agree, the corpos dont and will fight tooth and nail to cut the cost anyway.

So unless the US gets the stones to collar and muzzle these businesses (they wont) we have to work around these monsters who will bite your arm off to skip lunch

wildginger,

… How do you use kickstarter before kickstarter exists, tho

wildginger,

Its not often you get a stark reminder that the people who play games genuinely know nothing about how they are made

wildginger,

Which is a model of profit that does not mesh with video games, adding to why this is a bad idea
