If be pissed and fight back if someone destroyed my home, too.

My condolences to the jackals.

The angled DOD seal to reflect Walter’s slightly down turned head is a nice touch

I thought that was the expectation?

They introduced us to a younger Witcher that the Geralt was training, Geralt’s story came to an end…

It felt like that’s what they were intentionally setting up, a totally Ciri-focused next game.

Well shit, the way things are going, I got that onion halfway to my mouth before realizing what it was…

Perfect dark was my JAM back in the day.

I still have my original cartridge, but unfortunately my n64 is either in a box in someone’s basement, or a landfill, as the friend I let borrow it (and my star wars games) left it at a friend’s house and the friend moved states.

PD was the first video game my sister and I played together. We never managed to finish it when we were young.

Absolutely can’t stand watching people play video games. They play wrong.

And the only videos I watch of a game are ones to see what kind of game it is when I don’t know too much beyond word of mouth “this game is great” kind of thing. Sure, you’ve described the game as an action-packed romp with tons of weapons and semi-open world, but the video shows it’s a 2d side scroller with variations of the same 5 pixel “guns” that all shoot the same ball. Not interested.

Beyond that, I have no interest in watching videos. And if companies started trying to somehow cram even more ads into their games to advertise to people watching a stream then I’m even less in than before

They’ll just relocate to Neptune. It’s basically like playing whack-a-mole.

I mean, it would have been nice if the game had been finished when it came out…

But hey, they’ve fixed nearly every problem I had with the game on launch. Which is infinitely more than most of the companies who release shitty broken games.

Being a first time, or even just smaller developer is a nightmare when you compare it against large companies.

You basically don’t have a chance if you try to carry your dream yourself, because you lack funding. But getting in bed with larger companies for funding and marketing puts an insane amount of pressure to perform well or go under.

I can totally understand why so many things were over-promised. I can’t excuse what we got on release, but I do understand why he lied, even in the weeks leading up to release where everyone who plays immediately knows what’s bullshit.

And to be honest, I would likely do the same in some situations.

Like the multi-player aspect where supposedly you would be able to see each other in-game. They really thought with the size of the procedural generation it would take a lot longer for people to meet, even if they were trying to meet up. Unfortunately they forgot to take statistics and probability into account. With the large amounts of people playing, two were bound to end up close enough to meet in the finest few days.

I think they really thought they’d have time to fix it before anyone met.

You’ll say anything when it’s your future, and the futures of all the people you work with, on the line.

The best time to fix your game is before you fucking release it

The second best time is right now.

They may have ignored the first half, but when they screwed up they tucked tail and got to work.

Nobody in their right mind would say they’ve been given a pass for NMS because they have been improving it, especially when you consider the straight up LIES Sean told during interviews. Whether it’s because his expectations were too high for the engine and dev team, incompetence and inflated self-image, or he was trying to build hype for the game knowing they could never fulfill all their promises, it doesn’t matter.

They improved what they made, but they still haven’t delivered what they promised for months leading up to release.

It’s a mixed bag. You take the bag with the good.

NMS is worth playing for the 0 dollars I spent on it, and I could see myself tossing upto $20 for it, but at no point was it worth a full price game IMO.

Lmao either this is ragebait, or top notch satire.

Well, top notch for what I’ve seen today, anyway…

Pffffffff

I can see that bright white dot against the dark mode background on my maximum brightness screen with ease! Therefore your argument is invalid!

(the point you were making)
















Their head

One of two things is going to happen when companies decide they own (all) the fresh water (and people become desperate)

Either the company hires enough goons and/or thugs to keep their “investment” safe through lethal force and scare the plebs away, possibly employing bribing “lobbying” governments to do it for them

OR

The people who are right there next to water sources they are being told to pay more than they can afford to drink from will arm themselves and overwhelm the defending forces with sheer numbers, resulting in an internationally covered bloodbath, kickstarting Water War 1 as other companies rush to beat back any perceived defiance, nations attempt to secure access to fresh water whether it’s on their land or not, and normal people prepare for the worst.

I’m not a data hoarder, I just don’t like deleting something that I may want to open at some point in the distant future…

“I carried my equipment out to the car”

Vs

“I schlepped all my brothers’ crap out to the car again”

It kind of reads like the thought process of someone who just woke up, too.

This implies it’s falling on its own.

There should be a mass of red hats trying to push it over.
