I was recently discussing Farcry 2 with some friends and how cool the fire spread system was - And how it essentially was never used again after that title.
In case you didn’t know, Zelda Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have a very similar fire spread system.
I think the author might be interpreting a bit too much into Sean’s words here. “In the background” could just mean out of the eye of the public and he said it’s another tiny team, not necessarily smaller than the NMS one which he also calls tiny in the same post. Hello games is a pretty small studio. LNF could easily still be years away, but I don’t think Sean’s comment here tells us anything either way.
Tons of things. Instantly talking to a person the next town over, let alone the other side of the world. Turning on a light source whenever we want. Freezing a moment in time by taking a photograph. Etc
The pedant in me also feels the need to point out that the 1600s weren’t medieval though.
I’m sure that’s the case at some companies, but where I work, I can freely choose which tools I use for coding and whether or not to use AI, despite one of my bosses being obsessed with it.
Now that’s a game I haven’t thought about in a while. I backed the game in 2013 and played it for 100+ hours in beta, but dropped it shortly after 1.0 because I didn’t like many of the fundamental changes they introduced. Last played September 2016 apparently. How is the game these days? Maybe I’ll join and give it another try.
As long as AI doesn’t take away our hands, it’ll always be perfectly possible to draw our own art, compose our own music and write our own code. And especially in the open-source space, there’s plenty of creative software not jumping on the AI bandwagon.
Even if that did happen, it wouldn’t defeat the point of the disclosures at all. In fact, people will appreciate it all the more if a game is made without any AI involvement and it will become a selling point.
I initially installed Bazzite when switching to Linux, but the development experience made me switch to Kubuntu after a few days. I’ve had various problems with development tools which probably related to Bazzite’s immutability. For example I couldn’t get Godot to connect with a code editor. I’m sure there were solutions to those problems, but I haven’t regretted switching. Development works great now and gaming feels just as good to me as it did on Bazzite.
You’re right, good catch. Canadian dollars makes sense.
Did the shop add a significant markup here or is this some non-USD currency? Otherwise that price is $30 more than even MSRP. Right now I could buy it for 50€ here, which is still probably too much but significantly less egregious.
Might be a bit of both. Any pre-Ryzen CPU is very long in the tooth now and one from 2010 really isn’t going to cut it for almost any modern game. But I’ve also read of many people having Linux-specific issues in CS2.
I’ve played Ultros recently and thought it was really cool and unique.
According to the overview trailer you’ll meet federation troopers “occassionally”. I’m pretty sure Miles will only be around during the early game, but there will be other NPCs later on. Does sound like you’ll be alone most of the time though. I’m not a fan of what I’ve seen of Miles at all, but I do enough have faith in retro studios to be sure that they won’t give us a quippy sidekick for the entire game.
Society expects men to be “tough” and not show too many emotions. So men are less likely to have someone they can emotionally lean on and with whom they can talk about their feelings, even if they have many friends. Obviously it doesn’t mean that women can’t feel lonely. You wouldn’t go into a discussion about femicides and be like “Don’t men get murdered too? Wtf?”, right?
Huh, didn’t expect that to ever be a thing. I never played the original GW campaign, only Factions and Nightfall, so I guess this will be a good opportunity for me to finally play it.
Degrading in terms of physical capabilities? Mental capacity? Hearing? I think you’ll need to be a bit more specific here if you want any useful replies.
I was interested in this game but a 70€ GKC is a nope for me. Even if it were a proper physical release, that price seems way too high for the kind of game it is.
“Bad” is relative, but it does reduce the long-term lifespan of your battery. Ideally you should charge to 80%, but if you actually need the 100%, I wouldn’t worry about it either.
Wish they’d give us the on-console activity log back instead of putting everything into apps.
The sanctions did impact Steam’s operations in Russia. Russian users currently can’t use any payment methods to buy games aside from Steam Wallet funds.
