You’ve unintentionally stumbled upon one of modern gaming’s most pressing questions. When both free and paid options are a neverending smorgasbord of poor design choices, why purchase anything? Live service game models have shifted the landscape much closer to the free porn model for several game genres. Slightly tangential but… !patientgamers
I’m not the person you originally responded to so hold your assumptions. The journalist who still actively works in this specific field a decade later, after becoming the subject of its ire is an objectively better choice. Don’t blame me for having the capacity to answer your question.
Wait, what? I was at an event where she spoke about it and she seemed comfortable enough speaking about it in that context. I guess feelings can change over the years, my mistake. Sincerely.
Huh, I always thought the Czech Republic, where their studio sits, was more accepting of non-cis folks. Turns out they’re still not even past debating gay marriage.
I have to wonder how much space Mario maker 1 levels occupy on nintendo’s servers. What are the dimensions of a level? How many total levels? It could be surprisingly light. Too bad there’s no way to download what may be less than a terabyte of data.
This game is about to be 4 years old but i finally got around to playing it. I am floored by this game, i couldn’t put it down. I love the new combat style, the cut scenes are great how they just roll straight from the gameplay and back. The music, holy shit, the music. Every track is a banger and makes the fights and story...
Its major issues are anime noises and some odd choices for voice direction. I guess that’s technically one issue. The combat feels fantastic. I have no strong feelings about the story one way or another. I prefer some changes and dislike others enough that my enjoyment is reduced.
Hopefully they’ll use this as the base for kingdom hearts as the combat in KH3 was agonizing.
There was a game that came out a few years ago that scanned in most of its rocks for photorealism. I can’t recall the name. EA was the publisher, I think?
The older, significantly more polished Pokémon games come to mind. Every decent platformer of the last 2 decades had one as well, in one way or another. They’re honestly a common feature.
So I’ve been hanging around all-ages shows, passing out fliers about eating vegetables and getting a good night’s sleep. It’s a horrible business idea and these teens keep kicking my ass.
Oh no, I just linked the photo for a joke. I’m just as envious of their massive collection as you are. The only interesting controller I own is a fighting stick.
I got the vague impression that their collection occupied more space than intended. Between reorganizing shelves upon the ground and limited space, the “this is taking longer than expected” factor kicked in and decided the end.
The only review you can definitively trust is your own. No commentary playthroughs are abundant on YouTube. If you can’t scan through and find a fun mechanic in the first 20 minutes, the game isn’t worth playing, in my opinion.
Palworld really didn’t do anything revolutionary. It’s a pick’n’pack of 4 separate games. All that they did well was get the game as fun and addictive as possible. How they’d incorporate more “fun” elements into a platformer, I’m not sure. Gonna check the demo later.
Disability income is horrifying in the US. You’re essentially disallowed from owning things. Given that Europe will be waking up in a few hours, I’d like to ask whether the situation is panic-inducingly dystopian over there as well.
Technically possible, sure. Just don’t get caught during a random inspection where someone surreptitiously follows you for multiple days to see whether you’re faking.
It physically hurts to know that the US system is essentially identical to any other. It really offers a 1-2 punch to anyone unlucky enough to become disabled. I sincerely appreciate you writing this out, it was eye-opening.
Ah, I misunderstood the unemployment benefits portion! That’s entirely my mistake. In that case, your system is far and away more reasonable and I apologize. It still physically hurts that disability is horrifically broken in the US but at least it isn’t universal. I hope we’ll eventually achieve something approaching acceptable treatment.
Checked out some threads about it and it seems to have a fair number of bugs. It’s still a ridiculous effort for, what I assume to have been, one person.
It stems from your character being a blank slate that you act through. They don’t bring much story with them, just your headcanon and whatever you enact. It’s a true RPG in that way. I think that’s part of the reason people end up going the horny route, it’s a means of placing yourself in the story and becoming part of all of these fantastic characters. The main character is only as interesting as you make them.
I’d welcome that. Honestly, something of the sort may eventually end up in the game at the rate updates have been coming out. Feature creep must have been a constant worry given what BG became in the end.
The art is a fair bit more detailed, but I’m fascinated with whatever might be taking them so long. The original took about two years to finish and is ridiculously polished, so doubling the development time is wild. Is Hornet’s movement system just terrifically prone to breaking? Is the game simply gargantuan? Did they make a game of sneezing into each other’s coffee and lose a few years to the kitchen camping meta? All equally possible.
I still don't get why people spend money... there's tons of it for free (sh.itjust.works)
