@Weez there is no saving grace to this, movement does not make it easier to read anything on screen.
There is a reason why visual weight as a concept exists, it's not just so that it has always been done in one exact way, but because if you can't rest your eyes, can't gather information at a glance it becomes confusing and irritating even if it's just a still image. This can be great effect for stills, but if you are doing it in a competitive and interactive environment... It's a disaster.
I wonder if any JoUrNaLiSt blogger ever feels shame when schilling for a product that has 80-90% chances of being a flop and 10-20% chance of being okay enough to run for a year or two, before inevitably crashing.
Bethesda is the single most overrated studio in the industry, to this day it both appals and baffles me that they were ever succesful and were not laughed to their grave because not a single game they developed was worth a damn, neither technically, nor in gameplay.
Using the literal first image that comes up when you search for his name is quite lazy.
That aside, nobody should care what he thinks, the dude literally has done nothing successful ever since then, and he is pretty much fked in the head. Who cares?
Bad move, all the info is out, and the rabid anti-AI crusaders don't care what they state, they already decided where they stand. They should have just say that yes, we are trying stuff out, deal with it, then shut up about it.
They might hold good IPs, but their workforce in the gaming department is dogshut, so I whole heartedly agree. They would need to fire 60-80% of the staff and hire competent talent to do anything with their titles.
The only thing that could be major news is if they finally fix performance issues and make the late/endgame not toss. Little chance of that. Any other thing they do is just a bandaid and after the initial excitement people will leave in droves again.
Yeah nah, the main campaign was agressively mediocre, trashy millennial writing, non-existent threat, empty one dimensional checkbox fulfilling bland characters, little enemy variety and weapon variety, absolutely abysmal upgrade system, useless hunting/gathering.
Nothing they did with the DLC's fixed anything with the core systems.
So no, nothing they add or change will fix this mess and I'd advise anyone to not buy this hot mess, even the trashiest FC episode runs circles around this travesty.
This game is dog****. 99% of the gameplay is boring nothing then it's a dice drop of either you biting the dust with zero way of winning, or you steamrolling some idiots. Then there are the times when the arc swarms you and you literally have no way of surviving because they block all paths and simply mow you down the second you leave cover. What an amazing concept...

Re: Hands On: Marathon Is Dense, Demanding, and Drop Dead Gorgeous
I have yet to see such an ugly ass AAA game. The visual design is broken at the core and I am dumbstruck as to why anyone fids it appealing.
