Northerners in the uk

Coffeestain have done a good job with satisfactory but I can’t think of any other studio.

I love elite: dangerous and there’s still so much I haven’t done but it’s all as deep as a puddle, after 300 hours it started to get boring. (makes sense) I planned to take a break and come back to it but then they tried to add p2w microtransactions (they went back on it from backlash) and now the company behind it has replaced the ceo who cared about the game with a marketing guy and that’s made me lose interest in it entirely.

It’s linear in the same way a sony/ubisoft open world is where there is a single main path but there is a massive quanitity of side content as well. The main difference between bg3 and AAA open worlds is that the side content is better than the average ubisoft side content and the main path can take different routes in different playthroughs.

It’s definetly not for everyone but space station 14 can be a lot of fun.

I think they did this last year as well and people were just as mad, looks like the executives are determined to cause droughts, even if it means ruining their reputation :(

Didn’t they start using cloudflare to protect against constant ddos attacks causing downtime? Out of both options, having downtime from external servers failing is less of a headache to the admins (they are volunteers, this is the most important factor) than having downtime from internal servers failing.

It feels like every uk news site does it. The guardian and the independent are the ones I have trouble with the most. Reader mode “fixes” it though.

The frame being a standalone linux headset is huge, hopefully this does to vr what the deck did to pancake.

(I know vr works on linux already but it’s a pain)

If you can still use a mouse well, grand strategy games can be played with one hand. Despite all the (deserved) criticism they get, paradox games are a lot of fun. (and their modern ones even feel like a full game without having to buy any dlc) They can be a bit difficult to keep up with without a keyboard though so play on lower speeds.

If you are more concious about who you give your money to, endless legend 2 is a 4x published by hooded horse that is very good (think civ but fantasy) and since it is turn based it is a lot easier to play with just a mouse.

They return…

I wouldn’t buy it if it was bad, but any form of titanfall 3 would at least be something

So we won’t even get a shitty titanfall 3?

Microsoft rolled out an AI chatbot for minecraft a few weeks ago and it is completely useless (unless you are asking about the marketplace). I feel like you won’t even need to be playing a niche game for it to hallucinate.

“Sorry we couldn’t get away with it” vibes

The publisher is paradox isn’t it? They’ve done this with nearly all of their recent games.

The only difference is that the games they published are left to die after the backlash and the games developed in house continue to be developed but with a slightly less invasive dlc policy for a few months.

As someone looking in from the outside, the problem is with the way UE5 markets itself, (people using UE5 can correct me). The appeal of UE5 is that it does all the boring stuff for you. For example, instead of buying a good light system off of your engine’s marketplace or making your own you can just use lumen. Any system marketed as something you can “just use” is going to get implemented wrong because its appeal is supposed to be that it is low effort.

^(no shame to devs that do think like this, game development is hard and having solutions like this just gives more time to make the game you want)^

But it does make sense that it can be used correctly, UE5 is way to mainstream for it to be built on systems that never work.

The only ue5 game I have played with good performance is satisfactory and that’s because good performance is necessary for a game like that (so they put a lot of effort into it)

Do you think if the others knew they were going in a bundle with destiny they would have also skipped this bundle?

I don’t understand why people have issues with shows like this, it’s not like ads on annoying news websites, people want to watch them, I’m not watching but I think it’s quite exciting waiting for a trailer you want to see (silksong for example) compared to seeing it in a news article afterwards.

Wasn’t a lot of the usual names from the 3d mario studio’s last game (dk) missing from the credits? I heard someone say it’s probably because they were working on a 3d mario in parallel… hopefully
