Tencent could just do the same game with much better writing but we know they literally cannot. Does any tencent game have good writing?

This is a completely stupid idea that will seem good to children and idiots.

Sounds like a win-win.
- Comment on Video Game Physical Software and Hardware Sales Just Had the Worst November in the U.S. Since 1995 - IGN 1 day ago:
We’re in the middle of the latest episode end-game-capitalism. Of course things are gonna be bad but nobody will blame the wealthy people because their job has become dependent of those same people.
- Comment on Microsoft is pushing Copilot onto LG TVs with a recent software update 3 days ago:
My LG TV will never go online. All I wanted was the OLED panel. Everything else on that thing is trash.
- Comment on As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all 4 days ago:
It’s acceptable to a lot of people. I don’t care for it but I’m not for censorship. I don’t think it’s funny and it’s also extremely played out. It’s hack material.
I’m 100% for firing and not hiring actual sexual predators.
- Comment on New Tomb Raider Games Recast Lara Croft With A Gaming Veteran 5 days ago:
Do you think they should not hire a professional actor to act?
Is it hard to understand that a game with photorealistic visual can just use their paid actors likeness for the entire performance? It seems like an artistic choice that may be a good benefit for the actors to get future work.
- Comment on As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all 5 days ago:
Yes, it’s in bad taste. Still not anywhere as bad as actually doing in real life.
- Comment on As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all 5 days ago:
There’s a pretty big difference between real sexual harassment and fictional sexual harassment. One actually affects humans negatively and the other is just a matter of tastes.
- Comment on Reddit files legal challenge to Australia social media ban 1 week ago:
I would imagine that the Australian government has plenty of evidence showing predatory behavior in social media algorithms.
Reddit is full of bots and ads masquerading as humans.
- Comment on The Game Awards begins 11 hours from now. What are you looking forward to? 1 week ago:
I haven’t played any of those yet but isn’t the subject what we’re looking forward to seeing at the Game Awards?
I’m gonna have to toss a going between Expedition 33 and KCD2. They both seem like my type of game
- Comment on The Game Awards begins 11 hours from now. What are you looking forward to? 1 week ago:
Larian
Fromsoft
Nintendo
Those are probably the only developers in the AAA world that are not selling money printing skinner boxes.
Indie devs don’t have money to advertise on that shitty show.
- Comment on PS5 is outselling Switch 2 1 week ago:
It did but any sort of discount is a big deal because nobody expects prices to drop in anything anymore during the end stage capitalism death spiral we’re stuck in.
- Comment on PS5 is outselling Switch 2 1 week ago:
Isn’t the PS5 under heavy discounts at the moment?
- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 1 week ago:
It’s closer to being a Betaverse than anything of value.
- Comment on Geohot: Bikeshedding, or why I want to build a laptop 1 week ago:
Seems like he doesn’t want to spend time getting the hardware to work. He wants it to be efficient and of high quality.
- Comment on When a video codec wins an Emmy | The Mozilla Blog 1 week ago:
Isn’t that orders of magnitude more expensive than paying a royalty?
- Comment on Netflix to buy Warner Bros for $82.7 billion, including the creators of Batman Arkham, Mortal Kombat and Mad Max 1 week ago:
We need more corporate consolidation.
- Comment on IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending trillions on AI data centers will pay off at today's infrastructure costs 2 weeks ago:
It’s the same thing. Either way, they get free government money and lots of passive income because they don’t actually have to make anything or do anything to make money.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 install size reduction effort yields 131GB in cuts, and you can try the slim build right now 2 weeks ago:
Best they can do is layoff when the game ships.
- Comment on IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending trillions on AI data centers will pay off at today's infrastructure costs 2 weeks ago:
Nobody wants it to pay off. They want to be the last one standing which will pay off.
- Comment on LET IT DIE offline version announced 2 weeks ago:
I wish every free to play game released as full games at the end of their life.
- Comment on Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out 2 weeks ago:
Speedrunning enshittification!
- Comment on Thieves are starting to steal RAM now that it's as expensive as gold — a memory kit disappears in the snail mail at four in the morning with a bogus signature 2 weeks ago:
About a week ago I ordered 32GB of RAM for a new PC.
I paid $190.
It costs about $300 today. This is ridiculous.
- Comment on Sean Murray just crushed my hopes of playing Light No Fire anytime soon 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, early access with an apology.
- Comment on Paradox Takes the Blame for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Sales Flop, Announces $37 Million Write-Down 2 weeks ago:
Dang, they’re a joke.
Weird that they want to expand out of the strategy game genre by turning a love RPG into a basic action adventure game.
- Comment on Sean Murray just crushed my hopes of playing Light No Fire anytime soon 2 weeks ago:
He didn’t hype No Man’s Sky. He lied about the game and what it had at release to trick potential customers into making him rich.
“Lie” - a verb with a clear definition and there’s no reason sugarcoat it.
Also, the game didn’t have “free” updates. They made millions selling an unfinished piece of crap to a lot of suckers.
- Comment on By technical standards were 3D TVs impressive, Why didn't they catch on back then? 2 weeks ago:
Weirder things have happened.
3D TVs were pushed by movie studios trying to sell 3D Blu-rays at a time when streaming was killing the idea of physical media.
Video games didn’t go all-in. Which made it even more niche.
VR is having a lot of growing pains.
- Comment on By technical standards were 3D TVs impressive, Why didn't they catch on back then? 3 weeks ago:
VR seems a lot more isolating than 3D glasses in front of a TV. Even the powered active 3D glasses are a lot less cumbersome than any VR headset.
I absolutely wish that someone made a 3D TV with the New 3DS technology in 4K. Have the 3D effect turn off when more than one person is watching TV.
- Comment on By technical standards were 3D TVs impressive, Why didn't they catch on back then? 3 weeks ago:
Yes, you needed a 3D disk player, 3D TV, 3D version of whatever you want to watch. That’s a lot of upfront costs.
Very few movies are filmed in 3D. Avatar did it right but almost nothing else did and it shows.
Video games should be doing it right now on PC but most folks would rather use all the extra horsepower to run their games at 200fps.
