There is an expiration date for IP. But I have little idea what type it goes under.
I just assume the reason old, barely functional games get the odd 1.3kb update every once in a blue moon is to “refresh” that expiration date.
Diplomacy is usually the way to go.
I realize that this is a foreign concept for Americans, but yes. The stopping of trade or even the threat of such, is a powerful tool indeed. And there is so many options within that concept that doesn’t involve arming every man, woman and child to the teeth and just letting them go at each other until something is resolved.
Because looking at the countries that encourage such, we see that things just tend to get even more complicated. More complicated and more violent.
In that case, why bother to label them at all?
Let every purchase be a gamble.
I’m just saying thank the gods for Screenshots, ‘Let’s Players’. because labeling everything as just “RPG” is the same as just labeling every type of meat as just “Meat” and graphics cards as just “Graphics Card” in closed packaging with only the companies names to differentiate.
I like specifications on the products I might be buying.
If history has taught us anything, it’s that just giving guns to people is a terrible idea.
From the few snippets I’ve seen, they have downright been killing aid workers. It’s so fucked.
I too would like more on-point classifications.
Like, we got 3 big classifications ARPG, CRPG and JRPG. And I guess that’s nice. But a bit of subclassification would go a long way, imo.
Now if only publishers would use these labels. But to them everything is just an RPG, because that’s an umbella everything fits under.
Are you Todd Howard?
Not the most flattering examples they pulled up of games he’s worked on.
One was a failed overhaul and the other got criticized for not having anything to do when it came out.
not so bad that Fallout fans won’t stick with it for butchering the IP.
Todd already beat them to the punch on that account.
The only way to go is up
Without having seen the series I’m guessing yours is probably the most accurate descriptor I’ve seen so far.
Whenever it comes to fandoms like this, the camps are always so divided in extremes. And neither camp is usually correct.
I mean, I saw Twisted Metal season 1 and it was not good by means an “actual reviewer” would stand by. But was it enjoyable? Sure. (Probably more so if I was high while watching it.) Will it be remembered? Not by a long shot.
The Fallout TV Show is likely better than TM, but I doubt it will remembered alongside Breaking Bad, The Sopranos or even Futurama for that matter.
Todd isn’t busy fixing anything. Let’s be honest.
There’s enough diehard Bethesda fans that will buy anything he shits out. Even F76 has a playerbase now.
The ending of the TM season 1 was literally the annoncement of the tournament. XD
Disregarding established lore is a Bethesda specialty. Shouldn’t come as a surprise if the show does it as well.
Probably because Valve doesn’t make games anymore. Not on any serious level anyway.
Most of their games are old as hell, and most of them where in the “proof of concept” relm. They only really made games to push the technology they were working with.
It’d be a poor argument to bring up their old catalog of games from 20 years ago as something that made them a worse company today.
It’s about more than just taking a 30% cut of sales. Everyone agrees that it’s a high price. So what else might the potential competition do that make them stand out as worse than Valve?
Also, overworked and underpaid Devs are a different matter. You have look at their Publishers about that. I believe Valves Devs are quite well paid and far from overburdened.
It has a Skull called Murrey?! Sign me up! 😃
I think that, regardless of brand, most users just want the most basic (almost black slate) OS that can run the programs they choose to install.
And that is close to, if not completely, impossible to get if you don’t have a mind for Linux.
I feel like both can be true
Sounds awesome.
If you’re interested in suggestions, I’d love to hear a remastered version of Dungeon Keepers Track 5.
I think it’s called “The Dungeon Keeper” or “It’s Construction Time” (dependent on game version).
Addendum: Decent 2 - “Crawl” is a sweet tune as well.
