If in the future you ever actually have any real info on developers using AI QA and aren't just making stuff up, tag me with a link , I'd love to read it!

I remember Skyrim was streaming for a few days before release and I enjoyed watching a few hours. There's only one chance for a bunch of newbies to explore a game like this, and an entertaining streamer doing it with a bunch of people egging them on is pretty good. I'll probably be emotionally...

Thinking about a notional "hardest mode" a bit more, one challenge that would be interesting is if Larian sectioned off certain parts of the campaign that had to be beaten in one rest in order to gain a normal victory condition. Ex: This is partially brought from not liking the "immersion...

Early access starts at 8PM EDT https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/starfield-release-time Review embargo lifts at noon EDT https://www.videogamer.com/news/starfield-review-embargo/ Is anyone streaming Starfield rn?

Rest assured that this broke ass 1990s Gamebryo engine will always feature floating friends.

I'm no investment genius but I'm in a sommmewhat similar situation where I take home more than I spend and have to chose between paying down my mortgage and investing it. My mortgage interest rate is 2.85%, which is waaay lower than what you can expect to make when investing and is even...

I wonder what it'd take to mod this armor into Starfield. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15901 looks soooo flat compared to Space Marine 2. edit: let's gooo

that looks extremely good.

Rhanyn watching his low-prep coworkers heading to work on Tuesday:

I don't think this really holds in BG3, because

Nah, it's a great model. The developers get a chance to stress their system while filching hardcore fans of some $$$ and any release issues get ironed out for the people most willing to deal with the bugs instead of the unwashed masses. For most games I could give a shit about premium and early...

Todd Howard's release memo.

+ Elite Dangerous + Mass Effect

Yeah I definitely don't need more mobs unless Larian finds a way to "fast-roll" the results to have more NPCs taking simultaneous actions. I've been thinking about what an "Insane" or "Legacy of Bhaal" mode or Sword Coast Strategems type mod could be in BG3 and it'd definitely either be...

These all seem like questions that could be reasonably answered within the context of a goliath sorcerer and with answers colored by his race that would be different than a half-elf sorcerer with similar intelligence. It could be that he's tactically an int5 dumbass but at a young age was...

https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wired.com%2Fstory%2Fsamsungs-moon-shots-force-us-to-ask-how-much-ai-is-too-much%2F this is genius, thanks.

I like how Wired makes low quality regurgitation of articles about reddit posts, doesn't link the original reddit post (from what I can tell) and has the audacity to paywall it. This cracks me up. I roll my eyes when people crack out their phones to take pics of moons or fireworks or...

It's funny that I can't find any "gaming journalist" that did a deep dive on what % of the last 100 million were crowdsourced contributions, what is private backing from investors and what are pure bullshit figures. Gaming journalists are probably too busy trying to increase engagement with...

Kinda cool, timeline leading up to BG3. Spoilers for the whole game here:

spoilers re: Karlach

I think I was able to just ride the nostalgia train every 5ish years.

Dwayne eats the apple, core and all, then rock bottoms Queen Grimhilde. Roll credits.

Nah, the inverse. I'm a developer who hates testing and am super interested in any kind of AI productivity tools.

It's OK, I have a permit.

I'm about 80% sure you're capping and are assuming way too much integration of Microsoft's broad array of technology with literally a subsidiary (BGS) of a subsidiary (zenimax) of a subsidiary (xbox game studios).

re: BG3 vs BG1/2

re: builds and meta play, I switched to tactician somewhere in the second act but soon in the third act the game got pretty easy. I facerolled most of the third act, just blindly charging in and wasting everything. There was basically nothing that could stand against a twincast-haste from a sorc...

Lame, I wanted to make a useless quip about how interpretting Ethel as jewish is extremely anti-semetic.

Yeah, having played through multiple BG1/2 playthroughs with all the Tactics, Sword Coast Strategems mods, the Concentration mechanic is an A++++ limitation.

I think it's less about romance and more about liking the lore concept of a superbeing turned into a living weapon that is now filled with anger at their torturers. It helped that she was the other half of my wombo combo in ME2, using her psycher yeet to launch enemies into the air for my sniper...

Yeah this doesn't sound like what Mr. Booty was talking about. Some AI that uses a deep learning network of some kind to learn how to play and then being fed a bunch of savepoints and immediate goals would be interesting. I haven't seen anyone talk about testing games like this.

Is there anything you've seen that indicates that BGS is using this? There's a lot of AI chaffe over the last year.

speaking of oversights finally beat this, what a fantastic game. Now to read the other posts in this thread I've been eschewing out of fear of spoilers.
