Is it too early to assume that any Art is now AI generated wether it is or isn't? Maybe any uninspered Art piece we can label as AI generated. Maybe I am AI generated.
I can't wait for this bubble to finally burst. It's getting exhausting.
AI this and AI that. So tired of hearing this AI focus everywhere. It sucks because AI can mean anything from creating assets and animation to just concept Art or rough story outlines. But I have no idea what it realistically cant do since I do not work in that field. I just see all this SoraAI clips being posted and it just makes me feel uneasy about the future.
Hmmm how many games have touted this 10 year journey nonsense and failed? Remember Halo infinite for example and how that was supposed to be like the big thing? Destiny? Idk it's good to plan ahead but at the same time it feels overconfident.... Though it has to be said that I am not the target demographic as I dont like extraction shooters sooo. As long as the game is fun and stable it will gather an audience. Good word of mouth will do the rest.
Microsoft has become such an unreliable narrator/entity, that I dont trust anything they are saying. Gampeass is profitable you guys and now they ruined that with removing day 1 games on all but the most expensive tier. Yeah right..... To bo fair I dont trust none of the big 3 but Microsoft/Xbox has been especially untrustworthy in its messaging and follow up deeds. If you put out unclear messaging don't be surprised when us consumers run with whatever it is you say. Epseciaif your actions scream "we are a dying brand!"
Edit: just to be clear I dont want microsoft to close xbox. I think competition is necessary because if not we can just look at sony and nintendo and their behavior when their ontop. It just feels like microsoft doesnt know what to do with xbox.
Xbox bit off to much. Now they are choking. More games they said and yet we haven't seen an increase in activision games... As much as ms khan has been proven right, it also shows the incompetence of microsoft. Or perhaps microsoft simply doesnt know what to do with the xbox brand itself. Hust look at the past 2 or 3 years. Is xbox a publisher? Cloud based company? First party company? Xbox itself doesnt know what it wants to be further compounding the problems it has. Gamepass has been increasing in price and with the final ridiculously hige jump many are jumping off. 360 bucks a year is alot of money. Some regions are even worse off. Also the economy has changed too with costs of living rising..... I'm no expert but it sure feels like xbox is on its way out. (Not that I wish for that, I have no horse in the "console wars" race)
I gave it a try a couple of times. Sadly being forced to team up with randos is what I really dislike about games like these, so I dropped it very quickly. It is a good game but I'm not the target demographic
Is halo really the big seller at this point? Sure there might be nostalgia there for it and perhaps the novelty of playing halo 1 on Playstation. But outside of that I feel like halo is no longer as relevant as it used to be. Look at the masterchief collection or infinite.....
Gonna get it on PC when it releases there or maybe in a sale. My backlog is too great to add yet another game ontop. Gotta finish some experiences before starting the next.
Cronos didn't do it for me sadly. Made to the hospital and then stopped and after cat hing up on the ending/endboss, not sure if I wanna attempt. Idk the story isn't gripping me, the characters are apart from cool designs nonexistent and the gameplay was a slog. Blooper missed it for me so glad they have SH1 which gives them a great blueprint.
Pushsquare please don't share the vid. People like these not online thrive on reports like this but there's also copycats. Even worse someone might get physical. Notice how one of the employees jumps? People like this guy can be legitimately dangerous. Report on it sure but linking the vid might give some people the idea that it's ok.... glad this guy didn't get physical.... social media was a mistake.....
@Czar_Khastik with masterpieces like Concord I can't blame them. See they had to remove Concord from the store due to how much it sold. It crashed entire economies and this caused many studios to close since thei didn't sell anything during that time. It was rough but understandable that sony couldn't let the game of all games dominate like this.
So I caved and got the premium edition. Got past the demo part and into the first village.....Holy moly the atmosphere is something else. The way the aftermath of war is portrayed is incredible. There were a few moments just in the first village were I went wow, this is, holy sh... If it keeps this up It's gonna end up as a truly special experience. Though it's definitely not for everyone
Wow these screenshots look fantastic. I didn't like skywalker saga as much as I'd hoped (probably because each episode was so condensed in a way). So this looks.like.the definitive lego game for me. But as always these days, I'll waitnuntil a couple.of weeks after launch to see how broken it is. (Hopefully it isn't, but confidence is at an all time low)
Yeeeaaahhh no. Damage is done. They were willing to attempt to pull this off and got burned. The fact they even thought it would be a good Idea tells me where the priorities lie. Such a bad look cause many will have seen the dlc bs and wont be following up on this news. After development hell, dev changes and it being a niche series to beginn with and now this? Yeah I have a feeling it wont meet sales expectations and sink. Maybe taking the whole franchise with it.....Or maybe it is a 10/10 game and saves it....Who knows, we barely know anything about it......
@get2sammyb If it stays at that I actually dont mind. Since its licensed stuff it and this way they can cycle through different licenses. As long as there is a good baseline variety. We'll see soon aneough amd early access if handled right is an great for feedback and getting data. I do hope they listen to the community.
I'll check it out because why not? Worst case I dont find it fun. Best case I find it fun. As long as microtransactions are purely cosmetic and reasonably priced and ofcourse optional then I'm fine with it. But if they lock tricks and map parts or ramps.and stuff behind a paywall then I'll be less enthused
Ah yes, the good old announcement for an announcement.....if you know the release date already just show it..... whats the point in announcing this announcement a day before??
UE5 is a resource vacuum. Even top graphics card struggle with it. Its also very dependent on upscaling and other AI tricks in Order to be playable. In time as more people.get familier with it it will be better optimized or atleast I hope. But as for now I try to avoid playing UE5 games week one.
I never finished the first one due to an endless loading screen bug. The game itself was also very meh. Roylands humor gets broting and annoyong very fast. He justbrepeats the subjects and drags the joke out. Safe to say I'm not gonna bother with part 2
The black ops 7 reveal got me even more excited for Battlefield 6 😊.
Edit: that picture sums up the reason why i hate these skins. Just look at them, they dont fit at all. Its like 2 different games slapped together. You know how in spongebob or similar cartoons they sometimes use a completely different artstyles for a cutaway gag? Od liek courage the cowardly dog? Its like that except worse and ridiculous in all the wrong ways....
Aaaaand the publisher or woever made this decision killed it. There we go. Its been in development hell. The first game is already a niche game and is notorious for needing fan patches to be in an acceptable state. Now they had a chance to give masquerade fans the definitive game...... and what do they do?...... Hamstring it by locking 2...I repeat 2 Factions behind dlc and at a ridiculous price for good measure. Is this franchise truly this impossible.to make a good game of? Perhaps it cursed. Wait I have an Idea for masquerade 3. In order to play even the base game you have to buy the day one patch as dlc. For 30 bucks. Otherwise the game won't launch....
I wasn't getting it anyway. But if this is true then what a screw up. Why not make it open map and extrection gameplay but with bots? This has the benefit that you can do scripted events for story/spectactle purposes. But if they make it multiplayer then all that goes out the window. Oh and of everyone hops onto the next game then this mission will become empty. Probably soon since you most like have to queue for this specific mission
Played it on pc shortly after launch and man did I regret it. Soooo many bugs. Soooo many crashes. I've seen the first part of the game more than any anime intro. But if you say soemthing about that the hardcore fanbase will run you over. Jank is part of the experience.... Im done at this point forcing myself to like it. Glad they are working on it but they've lost me...
I'll reserve Judgment until I see gameplay. Too many cancelations lately. But if it's another soulslike then I'm not gonna bother. Souls fatigue has kicked in for me
IMO on the one hand Studios should be as independent as possible. But then again Bungie has proven that they need a stricter guidance or whatever we wanna call it. As for marathon, after all the negative reception and the plagiarism controversy (2 of them iirc) I'd be surprised if this didn't turn into concord 2 electric bugaloo
Good. I dont need celebs nor cartoon characters in "grounded" shooters. Leave that to fortnite. I dont mind color skins on weapons aslong as they arent glowing animated and just plain unrealistic. If you keep the aesthetic grounded then extend that to the weapons too.
I think battlefield would fit Battleroyale the best. Dice has always pushed for.large player counts on the maps so this is just a natural evolution in that sense. Though they are late to the party now. Anyway I'm more interested in Battlefield 6 than cod
I left at the end of season 1. The community just became to toxic. Cosnantly flaming whether it was casual or competitive just constant flaming, arguing, isnsta locking characters and never switching and then some really bad trorrling with groot walls and jeffs that use the ult to teamkill. I mained rocket but man support was rough. People standing next to health packs begging for heals. Or running in 1 v 5 and then blaming the lonely healer wo got ganked for throwing. So yeah the community killed this game for me and I don't plan on returning
