Tall order for an open world game, let’s see how they deliver on this, if at all.
Or how about they start making games people want to actually buy?
How about truly new games instead of zero-risk remakes/reboots/sequels or truly awful slop like Concord?
Hope it remains readily available after the holidays too
Bloober said Piotr’s actual words were: “The Steam version has generated considerable interest, and we believe that, in addition to PlayStation (for which the game was initially announced), the Steam version will also be a success. Both we and Konami are pleased with the collaboration and are confident that this is not the end of our journey together.”
“That’s not what we said! What we actually said was [AI generated PR statement].”
Yeah nah, this is 100% trying to save face for Konami. Not that I really care much either way coming from Bloober Team, but still.
Hopefully supporters remember The Game Before the developers next one lol
Wait, its not Nintendo this time?
Stellarblade is requesting Shift Up and Sony be prevented from using Stellar Blade or any other similar name in the future - and that all Stellar Blade material in their possession is handed over to be destroyed.
LOL. This is rich.
Average modern games “journalism”
He doesn’t hate diversity, in games or anything else. He is annoyed by forced diversity, like most normal people.
Just make cool stuff without trying to check boxes, its not hard.
FromSoftware has never made a game I didn’t enjoy. From their well known games like Dark Souls, Armored Core, and now apparently everyone on Earth knows about King’s Field, to their more niche titles like Metal Wolf Chaos, Kuon, and The Adventures of Cookie and Cream. Yes, I even liked Ninja Blade.
Except Steel Battalion for the Xbox 360 but that is entirely because Capcom mandated the Kinect be used for controls.
Also am a big fan of Konami, pre-2005. They never really had huge masterpieces aside from what Kojima and Team Silent made, but their other games were fun and varied, taking on almost an experimental position. Games like Gungage were very engaging, if a little short.
Life is more comfortable, but it’s a lot more miserable too. Incredibly high levels of poverty, overcrowded cities, too many work activites tried to pack into just one day, etc.
Life back in the 1910s, for example, was a lot simpler. There was less work that people were expected to do in a day, so they could take their time getting done what needed to be done. And had more time for themselves when they were off work. The general cost of living was way lower than it is now. A person could have a family with a nice home and a big plot of land on a single income. Cities were less noisy and less overcrowded than they are now. They still had plumbing, electricity, radio even, and they also had ways they could be more social in person. They didn’t have cell phones that their boss could hound them to show up to work at any hour of the day. They didn’t have smart devices that could provide immediate and addicting stimulus in their pocket all day long. They didn’t have social media wreaking all sorts of havoc on the entire global society of humanity. People were much more patient back then because they had to be, unlike now when everyone wants everything done instantly. They had a lot of jobs that are mostly gone now because technology and robots replaced them. Paperboys and Milk Men, for example. The food was less processed, restaurants either had fresh, real ingredients or they served rotten food and lost business quickly. With all the information available to people today, people back in the 1910s were significantly more informed on topics than now, especially on topics about their local community. Depression, anxiety, and other sorts of disorders were way lower than they are today, primarily because the causes of those things either didn’t exist back then or were not accessible to the general public.
All the modern amenities can be nice, but for all the good things like the internet do, they also sure do a lot of harm. Plenty of criminals abuse the internet every day, and commit disgusting, unspeakable crimes they otherwise would not be able to without internet access. Terrorists are able to organize much more efficiently than before when they would have to rely on physical messengers, letters, or some contrived telegraph system.
People may live longer now, but is that really a big win? I mean, what, we get on average 10 or 20 more years of suffering? Being old is not fun, they’re not the good years of a person’s life. Even if you make them more comfortable, they’re still old and still have to lose independence and autonomy. They have to just watch as life takes away the freedoms that they had, and the joy those freedoms gave them fades away.
Should the world reset to the 1910s? I don’t know, and it doesn’t really matter since that will never happen. But looking back on how humanity has progressed until now, I personally can’t say that the condition of humanity has got any better.
This is how progress in gaming dies. Big companies abusing the law. This needs to be stopped, but unfortunately nothing will be done and things will continue to get worse.
The worst part? This is going to happen to everything. Not just gaming.
Life sucks. Right now is literally the worst time to be alive, and it will only get worse.
May your Ls be massive, and your wenches dry, Nintendo.
They could not have paid enough people to download the game and play it, let alone get people to do it for free.
The thing I dislike about MMORPGs is that they always have the same problem, and its always because the game is an MMORPG:
The whole game feels like an amusement park.
The scale of buildings and hallways is always comical. I always have to wait in line for a dungeon/raid/boss/NPC, etc. NPCs always feel like theyre there for a photo op and everyone is always crowding around them.
I wish that MMORPGs could add a feature where I can play in my own “channel,” where the only other players that appear on my screen are ones I have invited to my channel. Because some MMORPGs are appealing to me, its just I don’t like the crowds of ten trillion people all doing the same task “only a hero can do.”
I am pretty dumb, so probably.
This image is reminding me of the old Command & Conquer box art, its too bad Frostpunk plays absolutely nothing like C&C, otherwise I might’ve played it.
There is a lot more than that.
Lemmy is almost as anti-Xbox as gaming journalists, sheesh.
Im gonna do it
Of course the Guillemot family wants to keep their control of Ubisoft. If they do and the company goes private, Ubisoft is still going to die.
