- Comment on Dragon Age veteran says scrapped Anthem Next "could have been" up there with No Man's Sky's legendary turnaround 3 days ago:
I’m sure whatever NDA I signed is extinct now.
I’d imagine these comments are being made as a some thought experiment kinda deal. I play tested one of their concepts for Anthem Next. It was unremarkable, and the majority of the session was them trying to narrow down why people played Destiny. It was obviously what audience they wanted. The guy running it was visibly annoyed that my looter shooter of choice at the time was The Division.
It wasn’t going to be anything without a lot more work. The flying was nice. Everything else was still painfully generic. There’s a reason it got canned.

Silly consumer, you don’t own anything! You’ll take your license and follow these terms.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 week ago:
That is also the plan! I’m just waiting for 40,000+ photos and videos to finish transferring to a cloud drive I obtained, I’ve got a couple distributions ready to tool around with on a drive, just a few more days and I’m going to finally start the process of getting off this microslop nonsense I’ve been looped into since the 90s.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 1 week ago:
They are trying so fucking hard, it’s so sad. Especially when everyone saw that report of them slashing AI related metrics because nobody is fucking using it.
I can’t wait to build my new PC and install Linux. Cannot wait.
- Comment on We'll probably never see a Grand Theft Auto set in a futuristic city like GTA 2 because the team "hated it": "People didn’t connect with the game or its city" 2 weeks ago:
Weird article. GTA2 came out in 1999. That’s a long time ago. I doubt most of that team still works there. The idea that they had an issue making it somehow meaning that, over two decades later, the same issues will remain is an odd conclusion.
It’s just a weird comment, I get what he’s saying back then, but Saints Row had multiple games come out in pseudo-futuristic setting that were batshit crazy and fun to play, so obviously it can be done.
Lets be honest, we won’t see a futuristic GTA at this point because shark cards are a money-printing machine and Take Two will never approve anything like that because it would be too risky.

- Comment on What're your strong opinions from an aged / dead fandom? 3 weeks ago:
Sonic sucks.
The guy is supposed to “go fast” but the levels are absolute nonsense that inhibit your ability to “go fast”, and then once you play the game enough (which you shouldn’t) to memorize the levels (what a waste of brain matter) and “go fast”, the game ends quickly because you “went fast”.
Fundamentally terrible games. People who like sonic are weirdos.

You people need help, I’m not religious and this is unholy as fuck.

That studio is shady as fuck.
- Comment on Do we have No Man's Sky fans here? 4 weeks ago:
I know I’m wilding but I actually liked the launch game more than what it became. But that says more about what I look for in a game than the quality of NMS. It objectively became a better game than it was at launch, but it pivoted to become more of a crafting and building thing than an exploration game…. And I’ve been done with crafting and building for a long time
- Comment on As ‘Hitman’ Turns 25, IO Interactive CEO Talks Eminem-Slim Shady Collab, ‘007 First Light’ Inspiration and Future of the Video Game Franchise: ‘Of Course There’s Going to Be’ a ‘Hitman 4’ 1 month ago:
I couldn’t give two fucks about the sanctity of some bloody leaderboards, just let me play the blasted game offline without making it out to be some kind of gods damned crime worthy of multiple popups warning me how you “Make a distinction between online and offline play” How about you fucking don’t No one NO ONE is going to pour through the annals of history in 509 years time to find out who topped the leaderboard in the Sapienza level of Hitman. ITS A SINGLE PLAYER FUCKING GAME Stop taking leaderboards so bloody seriously.
Anyways, great game, ten out of ten, probably a top ten all time. Probably would be a top five if it wasn’t for having to sit through loading screens just to play it offline.

The funniest part is it became even more difficult to comprehend when they folded it all into one game, it was easier to just buy the fucking games when they were 1 - 2 - 3.
- Comment on Last Epoch players turn on the action RPG for announcing a paid DLC class, tanking its Steam reviews: 'go play Path of Exile instead' 1 month ago:
Hoping to cover costs solely from cosmetics is a pie-in-the-sky fancy and they knew that, the only way that works is if your game blows up in the way that only those rare, 0.01% of games do. Saying they expected that to work out was some fucking bullshit. I sympathize with their plight, it’s obvious that if the options are sell DLC or shut down the studio, you sell DLC, but it shouldn’t have happened like this.
They were dishonest at worst or brutally naive at best from the start. I’m willing to accept that latter simply because these were originally Reddit people who wanted to make their own mark on the genre, but it’s still inexcusable. I have zero involvement in the industry and I could tell you that was not gonna work out.

People keep saying “lemmy is dying Bluesky is dying” but maybe it’s the fact that the people who migrated to those sites were already burned on social media and know better than to start arguments on the internet.
- Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell 1 month ago:
Yeah, my pc has been sitting around for over two months. I think I’m gonna go with Cachy on my machine, just need to find some time 😫
- Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3 1 month ago:
The Wii sold the most consoles but the 360 had the most engagement. Wii consoles sat in closets or became Wii Sports machines, 3rd parties gave up releasing titles on it due to miserable sales and the only games that sold were Nintendo games. Saying it “won the generation” because it sold the most consoles isn’t really telling the whole truth.

Ubisoft is a textbook example of what happens when you pin your companies revenue on a small handful of IPs and milk them to the absolute fucking limit. I like assassins creed, but I’ve played enough of them for the rest of my life. Make something new my dudes.

Loot boxes should be banned and in game currency needs to be banned as well. I’m so tired of this just accepted practice of scamming people out of money with shitty in game currency prices.
