Re: Square Enix Wants 70% of Its QA and Debugging Work Done by Gen AI

guacguacboo

I’ve worked for the same software company for almost 15 years now and we have gone from mostly manual QA to mostly automated testing to now slowly moving to AI. Since we moved from mostly manual QA the quality of our software has been crap. I know plenty of other people I network with who have the same problems. I’m not speaking for everyone but I can see this going very badly and when they do decide they need actual human beings there won’t be anyone to hire because they moved into different roles or job sectors. My company now wants us to hire actual people and we can’t find any because they have moved and/or the ones that we can hire have hardly any testing experience.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Will Be 'A Bit More Concise' Following Feedback on Rebirth's Filler

I definitely agree people not only have more to play then ever but games are bigger and longer too. However Rebirth was absolutely padded with annoying mini games and checklist tasks. I’m so stoked the will be scaling that back. Let us go to the gold saucer if we want to play. We don’t need the world to be full of random mini games that are generally not even fun.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Rebirth Get a Physical PS5 Double Pack on 3 Discs

I know squenix always says their games didn’t meet sales expectations but you’d have to think these games have some long term sales going in its favor. They can package them together, do a sale before part 3 comes etc. I’d be interested to see the sales numbers down the line. But who knows anymore what a successful game is for square? They should have released it on all platforms though.

Re: Poll: What Are Your First Impressions of Ghost of Yotei on PS5?

Side quests are amazing and so organic compared to GoT. Riding the horse is so much more fluid. It’s kicking my butt on normal difficulty for some battles which I love. The enemies done just wait to attack you one by one so you really need to plan out your attacks. You really have to take advantage of all the tool sets they give you in battle . I do wish there was a designated place where you could just practice all your moves without the risk of dying. If there is one please enlighten me!

Re: Review in Progress: Lost Soul Aside (PS5) - Long Awaited Action Is Both Awesome and Awkward

@ShogunRok It definitely seemed to be faking RPG mechanics so it could say it’s an RPG. Even the PS Store description says ARPG. Kind of like FFXVI. It’s ok if a game is pure action but I guess it’s marketing doing marketing. I do think reviewers should note (as you did) if the developer is using a genre that the game just doesn’t fall under. It’s a bit deceiving.

Re: Tales of Xillia Remastered Releases October for PS5, Xillia 2 Not Included

I could never get into the tales games but it’s been a long time since I tried. I used to be very old school with my JRPGs and preferred turn based. But since then I’ve expanded a lot more into action RPGs so maybe I’ll give them another try. I do have tales of arise so maybe I should actually give that another go. I just remember the enemies being sponges and taking forever to kill.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 590

Wrapping up the main story of Kingdom Come 2. I’ve had a lot of fun but I’m ready to be done so I can wait for the next DLC. I did have Henry go into murder mode and slaughter an entire town then proceed to dump the bodies in front of the inn. Now the Kuttenberg region hates me. No clue what I’ll play next.

Re: Death Stranding 2 Premiere Event Showcases the Game One More Time Before PS5 Launch

I’ve played about 30 hours of the directors cut. I liked it enough but the combat and bare minimum stealth really detracted from the game play. I get the loop and I get why people love it. That said I’m absolutely planning on getting 2 based on what I’m hearing about the expanded combat and stealth mechanics. I probably won’t play at launch but I’ll definitely pick it up in the next few months.
