Capitalist want more capital.
They need NEW IP so that they can be made unburdened by the past experiences of a game industry that respected players even a little.
I mean come on a blood Bourne live service gatcha game would be ridiculed, so need a new IP with its own hype for a live service gatcha game.
I played it at a lan party when it first came out. We all had a blast and after a day of playing we had wildly different stories and experiences.
Its an awesome game, and with mods you could get another games worth of fun out of it IMHO, but I don’t think its the end game of games like they treat it. It can be better (mods show just some of that potential), and they’re are other games.
Firaxis’ big swing: End of Civilization
“No more turns”
I still want the spore game he promised. I want the version of fable 3 he promised.
Maybe just go back and finish a game dude
Every function of the economy felt it was a game in its own right. Crafting required skill just like fighting did.
Full dive makes it way more immersive too, so more subtle things like taste and closer details matter more.
The world, while a game, really felt like it was ment to be lived in too.
UX is pretty painful. I’m never sure if its bugging or if I’m doing it wrong or working and now needs me to do some other step.
I’ve modded to hell and back with Minecraft, Skyrim, and every Paradox game. So it was kind of shocking just how hard modding in Linux was with Vortex.
So at what point is buying up competition just to shut them down anti competitive enough to get a law suit from the feds?
Very different games to me tbh. Squad pve with gun focused combat, but thats where the similarities end. Borderland is crunchy with tons of guns stats and special movesin a RPG open world with a set narrative to go through.
Helldivers has a way smaller arsenal and a tighter mission based combat loop. They have more of a meta narrative that you affect vs being the main protags. The tighter gameplay loop is probably the biggest reason I liked it but haven’t play borderlands in forever. Like its very much built for dropping in blowing up your friend and maybe some enemies too, try to do objectives against mounting odds, pass or fail the mission, continue. The fact that weapon progress almost always makes friendly fire a even bigger threat makes it almost a trade off and not a clear path to success.
Maybe a FOSS engine remake and new art/models to match.
The stats, and writing were all great and I honestly wouldn’t really want it touched.
I mean a broken clock is right twice a day right?
In terms of writing both Owlcat and Larian are both exceptional IMHO. They both have made games that are just massive in scope IMHO. Obviously Larians technical polish on BG3 is also world class, and I hope that some of those pieces can trickle down to more devs.
I’m still disappointed that stadia didn’t work out in some ways. Imagine if they were working more like valve improving community tools culminating in the basis for their cloud offering.
Damn I hadn’t. That’s such bs. I don’t blame Yuzu team for avoiding the heat, but still a shame that it came to that.
Nintendo making downstream worse now… I hope they get slapped in there lawsuit for the waste of time they put all these people in
Careers pages seems very Japanese focused. Which I mean if knowing Japanese is preq it is what it is, but might limit the amount of the newly released devs in the market.
This is super cool! I kind of want some time importing it into Sweet Home 3D!
I mean, the games mentioned really are games about being a capitalist, right?
Kind of wish there was some worker coop games for running businesses actually.
Welcome to Linux friends!
I love Morriwinds memory, but the gameplay was so rough to try to get back into.
