Well, that one wasn’t really much of a game at the release. More like a tech demo that they somehow transformed into a game later.

Yeah, people kept telling me that I could literally ignore every goal and just do it next year in the game if I missed something but to me doing everything incredibly inefficiently just to work around the bad game design isn’t fun. It also isn’t immersive to have a farm where I grow 3-5 plants per season only. Basically the game reminds me at every turn that I am not actually doing what the story tells me I am doing.
It is strange. I tried it once and it felt incredibly stressful between the passing out mechanic, the questions demanding I introduce myself to every single person in the whole village within the first week,… yet people keep describing it as relaxing.
That was the same for my friends group at LAN parties in the 1990s with shooters back then.
I think the main problem in the gaming industry is that it is chasing trends too much and anyone who isn’t interested in the currently trendy genres has very little choice besides playing older games.
And yet people somehow keep telling themselves that Microsoft has the best developer tools of all platforms (coincidentally mostly people who have never worked with other platforms).
Did anyone expect them to be profitable?
That is not true. It is also a way to make it much more likely part of our culture gets permanently destroyed.
Well, maybe a few more than that on a global level but something in that order of magnitude per language sounds about right.
The technology isn’t there yet, both in terms of running on the average gamer PC and in terms of producing a result that is predictable enough to actually fit into a given game world. In the context of games you don’t want the AI to just make up any old crap based on something completely unrelated to the game world.
TIL: Companies still sell games on physical media in 2023
Your home NAS being at your home means you don’t have redundancy for many things that can happen to your home PC (electric issues, fire or water damage, theft,…).
The only one who comes across as mad here is you. Saying “if you don’t support the system I use I am not going to give you money” is not mad, it is just common sense.
Well, they have changed the world, they have ruined the perfectly good term metaverse with their failed product.
