- Comment on Former BioWare exec producer says EA was pitched multiple times to remaster the first three Dragon Age games 1 day ago:
I guess, unless you played literally any other RPG up until that time. Every single plot twist had been telegraphed and done before by better games.
- Comment on Former BioWare exec producer says EA was pitched multiple times to remaster the first three Dragon Age games 1 day ago:
The story was also hackneyed and utterly predictable. :(
- Comment on True or false 1 day ago:
No, because all they do is look at stated opinions and are unable to weight them. If a bunch of people say something is true and a bunch say it’s false, the AI has no way to know.
- Comment on Here’s how to spot AI writing, according to Wikipedia 1 day ago:
Something that popped up when I was looking up information for Eyes of Wakanda:
Which seems copy pasted from another AI generated site:
blavity.com/…/eyes-of-wakanda-ending-explained
FWIW - NONE of this is true. Okoye does not appear in any of the four episodes, voiced by Danai Gurira or anyone else. Given the times the episodes are set in, 1260 BC, 1200 BC, 1400 AD and 1896 AD, that would have been impossible.
Episode 4 does have a future Black Panther, but she’s from 500 years in the future (1896 + 500 = 2396?) and voiced by Anika Noni Rose.

Unlike Mass Effect, Dragon Age was never a good game. 1 looked like an OG Xbox game instead of 360 and 2 was just awful.

Destiny (not Destiny 2) - Comment on Gen Z Is Cutting Back On Video Game Purchases 3 days ago:
Gen X, can’t actually remember the last time I bought a game.
Suikoden 1 & 2 on PS5? I think that was it.
I used to buy games all the time, but I won’t pay for a digital release I don’t own. Avowed? Digital only. Looked for Expedition 33, couldn’t find it on physical.
I’m not leaving gaming, gaming is leaving me.

Infinite was a pretty high bar, they may have intimidated themselves.

- Comment on Xbox Drops Work on ‘Contraband’ Video Game After Four Years 4 days ago:
No, I have just been working in software development for 13 years.
If I spent six years on a project and could not demonstrate core functionality after all that time, I’d be fired too.
- Comment on Xbox Drops Work on ‘Contraband’ Video Game After Four Years 5 days ago:
I’m not defending anyone, I’m attacking shitty game development.
When the first teaser came out, people went “Well, that’s pretty, but what’s the game?”
Then, reportedly, the whole thing was rebooted in 2021 and we still weren’t able to see what the game mechanic was.
I get it, it LOOKED great, but as a potential player I need to know what the actual fuck I’m doing. What’s the goal? What am I supposed to do? What are the tools I have to do that?
Everwild Devs: 🤷♂️
If the suits were screwing around and changing things, we STILL should have seen what the actual game was before and after the changes. We never did. Never will.
That’s not a corporate problem, it’s a development problem.
Compare that to a teaser for a game that actually released:
- Comment on Xbox Drops Work on ‘Contraband’ Video Game After Four Years 5 days ago:
It shouldn’t take 6 years to demo a basic gameplay loop. If you don’t have a demonstrable gameplay loop after 6 years, yes, that’s a management problem, but it’s also a dev problem.
All we got to saw of Everwild was pretty, but it was never clear what the game actually was and the developer wasn’t clear either.
- Comment on Xbox Drops Work on ‘Contraband’ Video Game After Four Years 5 days ago:
And apparently Everwild was officially dropped last month too.
Can’t say I’m surprised… after 6 years there was no gameplay footage and the impression was “Well, it’s pretty but what is the actual game?”

Hey, I was in your boat when I started on Lemmy 2 years ago.
“Wow, that’s a lot of furry porn. And gay porn. And gay, furry porn.”

The only way All works is by either manually blocking individual communities or manually blocking certain instances.
Once you’re done, it’s mostly fine, but like you say, new ones do pop up.
There’s ONE GUY who runs like 20 different AI porn communities and keeps creating more.
- Comment on Can an American explain to me what's with the grooves on PS1 NTSC cases? 6 days ago:
The first 100 or so PS1 games in 1995 and 1996 were in the long boxes, then they shifted to the CD cases.

Anthem hurt because the initial demo looked so promising then the Alpha came out and absolutely shit the bed. I had been looking forward to playing what the demo showed. :(

Yeah, at launch in 1995 they were all like that.

- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 1 week ago:
Fable 2 largely was just as good as one with one added bonus… for me at least.
The cutscenes were all done in engine, with all the same rules that the game has.
So running into the final boss fight, I had run out of healing items, so I ate ALL my food and drank ALL my beer and wine before starting the final fight.
Cut scene starts. Villain starts his villiain monologue as villains do. My character proceeds to puke all over his shoes.
- Comment on The curse of ‘Disco Elysium’, the greatest RPG ever made 1 week ago:
Games are entertainment. When you’re playing a game and you are presented with:
Terrible choice #1
Terrible choice #2
Terrible choice #3
Just godawful choice #1
What the fuck is even this choice? #1That’s not entertaining. I can get where some people might derive some kind of enjoyment from that, I don’t.
