Re: Poll: Is Fallout 4 Underrated, 10 Years Later?

LordAinsley

I hated it.

I don't like the lack of dialogue choice and I think the radiant quests are one of the worst things ever put into a Bethesda game.

I also dont like the base building, which would be fine if it wasnt painfully obvious that the rest of the development suffered to include it

Re: Sony Is a 'Terrible Company' That's 'Blowing It in the Games Business', Says Michael Pachter

It feels like a wave of amnesia has hit gaming press.

It felt like maybe, a decade ago?, people just stopped reporting on what he said because he just guesses and talks nonsense and doesnt know what he's talking about.

Then suddenly, the last year, I'm hearing his lukewarm takes again. What gives? Either journalists have collevtively gone insane or a new wave of journalists who don't remember this grifter from the last 10 years ago are posting about him without the background knowledge

@nessisonett I was going to make a comment about how the game was set a decade before it came out so has this sort of weird nostalgic touch to its dialogue etc so it wasnt really cringe but I just did a quick google, apparently its set more or less the year of development.

thats insane, I played it on launch and always just assumed it was supposed to be set in like 1995 or something and its dialogue etc was kind of cringey because it was supposed to be indicative of how people were talking a decade before.

Apparently it was just cringe

Re: PS5 Pro Pockets a Native 8K, 60fps Game

I really like the idea of making games that are almost tech demos around more simplistic topics like Pool.

Big fan of Rockstar Table Tennis and thought it was an incredible demonstration of the then new RAGE engine

Re: Rumour: Sony Wants Warner Bros' Gaming Assets, Like Mortal Kombat

Bad source in my opinion.

There's no reason why a wrestling website would be able to find this out, people are pointing towards the fact that AEW is broadcast on WBD channels and HBO Max but it just seems so unlikely even if a wrestling site has some insiders at AEW, that anyone there would be aware of this kind of deal.

The Variety piece is interesting and builds on some previous announcements they had made around their gaming division months ago

Re: 'People Are Less Willing to Pay': Dev Speaks Out Against Day One Releases on PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass

LordAinsley

The conversation has completely changed. You see it with Mindseye.

People arent saying "looks bad" or "maybe ill try a demo". People straight up say "I will try it WHEN it lands on Plus". Not if. WHEN.

People know, sales will be bad and they will try to recoup by selling the licence to Sony or Microsoft. And they know the worse the sales, the sooner that will happen.

No idea if you can put a lid back on that

Re: Despite Black Panther Cancellation, EA Is Still Making Three Games with Marvel

LordAinsley

This is a big company thing I think.

They got the rights for these properties, presumably for a cost, and instantly their leadership announced them even though no work had been done to try and fluff up their stock price.

The Iron Man game has actually worked out but presumably a year or so of trying to get this Black Panther game going, nothing interesting/fun came up so it gets "cancelled". I suspect it never really existed in the first place.

@Ammurphy612 Yeah, this guide is a little odd.

It specifically highlights some outfits but not others.
I thought maybe the idea was to highlight outfits tied to mimes as most of them are in this guide but then I found a few mimes in levels that arent listed in the guide as well.

Its been good for journals and music tracks though, I've got all the music now and just need to beat some optionals for the last few journals
