If you read the full release, it seems to suggest AI generated stuff is what got them nervous

Maybe - critic reviews are always a toss up. The main unifying themes I am seeing in the negative reviews are 1) Too much world building 2) Too many seemingly disjointed scenes/plots 3) Feels like half a movie At worst it might end up being a Mockingjay: Part 1 it sounds like. Lots of time...

One issue is people always use a monolithic “the devs” to describe the problem On games this size, the blame usually rests with the people who hold the final decisions. Coders and artists and the like are doing what they are told.

The US Civil War was in part a proxy war - some European nations really wanted their cheap cotton supply to continue

Because segments of the US still have a puritanical streak. Violence is ok, but god forbid you show tits. Relevant

Apparently Twitch is banning people who are following the new TOS still - sounds like there is either a disconnect or a ton of auto-mod stuff going.

You could watch it just fine. It’s not like you’re going to watch it then suddenly the stream turns into a dildosaurus fighting a twerkodon

Oh that’s a cool find. Can’t watch it now, but what do they do on that stream? Just discuss paleontology news or do they actually do stuff with real fossils too?

Once you get into mega view territory, you’re basically a brand unto itself. The strength of your personal brand will dictate what you do on stream. Guys like Ninja tied their brand too much to one game and when the game fell out of favor, so did their brand. Guys like XQC or Soda or...

They aren’t the same audience. That’s like saying people who like eating at an Italian restaurant are going to now eat at the strip club instead.

Exactly. They have some cool world building at some of the POI…that leads no where.

Yup - in the short term rural areas that already have some farm infrastructure in place might do better maybe. But those people in cities and small towns are eventually going to move where they think the food is like a zombie horde. And this isn’t the 18th century - even in rural areas, they...

I agree. Fallout4 eventually released a hardcore mode that had no fast travel, permadeath, needing to eat/drink, etc. But the core gameplay loop was still interesting even without that. Starfield, even if they added a hardcore mode, still leaves you with a “what’s the point?” feeling...

Twitter still shadowbans many mature content accounts I’ve even seen some “red pilled” porn stars complain that even under Musk they are still being shadowbanned

I’m confident there will be bans and/or amendments in the next few weeks. Everyone is going nuts like someone that turns 21 and drinks themselves into a proverbial coma because they can legally drink now. Once the novelty wears off, you won’t see as much as you do now. And they will refine...

The copy paste is what hurts it a lot. Once you’ve played long enough, you know where the big loot crate is and don’t bother exploring or interacting. Your even know which locked doors have no loot behind them

Are you elderly or an Australian politician? Video/PC games aren’t just “for kids” and haven’t been for a very long time. Some are, just like some movies or tv shows or books are. But the majority of the modern games market (and prime demographic for advertisers) are that 20s to early 30s age...

That’s a good point - the “space stealth” thing is used like once and then never again. Even the rerouting power thing feels needless - once you get a good ship, is there ever a reason to not go max power on your guns and shields and engines? It feels like complication for the sake of...

I mean it sort of is a partial space exploration game considering the core handcrafted content is pretty sparse. You don't have a reason to visit 80% of the planets or moons really. Although asking for this to become Elite Dangerous and wanting longer travel times isn't something I'd want lol

Tankies like Aryisar probably

I don't know what streams you go into seeing ads targeting kids All I ever see is that stupid T-Mobile ad with those 2 dudes singing, Doordash, Car ads, and random game ads for FPS (like 'Ready or Not' or Apex).

Yes, missing the point of the conversations that conveniently demonstrate flip flopping of reasons Pages of demonstrating max incel "hate women" shit then it becomes "think of the children!!!" as a means of morally smoke screening that disdain

Given how the majority of pages in this thread have people bitching about people watching streamers, I'm surprised you care lol

Dream of some of the pearl clutchers on this forum: The year is 2035 - Puritans successfully took control of the US and caused it to backslide into a destitute shithole nation with a GDP below Somalia. The below scene is a woman who showed 1cm too much ankle and the "simps" being punished by...

Keep in mind these labels are probably going to directly impact advertiser pools for the stream -Twitch basically saying you can do X, but ad dollars will probably get tanked. Most streamer money comes from ads, so it will be a self-correcting thing in the long term. Although I noticed they’re...

There is a blurb about the president’s third term as well, so I suspect that hints at what is going on since it implies the president is either ignoring the constitution and becoming an actual dictator or something happened that allowed it to get modified without all the states getting on board

Title: Civil War (2024) Tagline: In this land, anything is possible. Genre: Science Fiction, Drama, Thriller Director: Alex Garland Cast: Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Jesse Plemons, Nick Offerman, Cailee Spaeny, Karl Glusman, Sonoya Mizuno, Jefferson...

…Which has nothing to do with this game. This was a dev house that just used some UE4/5 assets and slapped them into a half baked game sold at a AAA price.

One element of Empyrion that is cool is you can subscribe to blueprints on the steam workshop for the game and if you collect the required materials, you can basically spawn the building/spaceship/etc. Or at least you could - I havent played the game in like 10 years. I played on a server...

If they don’t start playing the DOOM theme when Jesus arrives in hell, I will be disappointed

I haven’t played that in forever. I liked it when I played, but they made annoying changes that made some things needlessly complicated

Realistically with this game you're going to notice repeated content eventually once the novelty wears off: Repeated POI, different biomes being the "same" after a while with slight cosmetic differences, certain animal types looking sort of samey after a bit. Just like NMS. I am curious how...

Capaldi and Missy made a great duo, but ya a lot of the story plots/writing in that era were poopy. It's also too bad he really only had one episode with River as well - the Husbands of River Song had great acting between Capaldi and Kingston.

They probably treat female victims in horror movies differently also. The original trailer trampoline scene would have been "too sexual" for the ratings board I am guessing, although I could almost guarantee you they would have had 0 issue if it was a man on the trampoline. Same with the oven...

They toned down a lot of stuff from the fake trailer vs. the movie itself. He probably knew the ratings board would have tried to slap it with a NC-17.

Matt Smith + Amy + Rory era was my favorite. 1st season Rory was kind of a 3rd wheel, but he really grew as a companion as the show went on. Plus they had some pretty good side characters, like River Song and Strax and Lady Valestra/Jenny.

The show seemed to be trying to say it only happened because of the Toymaker, so they will probably just use that to explain why it doesn't happen normally Although I suspect the real reason they did it given the RTD explanation: It lets them bring back prior Doctor actors, but explain away...

There never has been. They’ve always just retcon or added a plot device to get around regeneration limits. When the show originally put the 12 limit, they probably thought that was super far off and not a concern. Like when 60s Star Trek mentioned WW3 happens in the 1990s and Trek has been...

It wasn't that bad - the ending concept was odd (although they seem to handwave it as possible due to the Toymaker warping reality), but the episode itself was pretty good. I like when the Toymaker put on the play talking about Amy Pond and Clara and the Doctor starts getting pissed (although...

I expect the One-Eyed Vault Overseer scene in the trailer is at a different open vault - the female protagonist's father is the overseer in her vault (33) and played by a different actor. After looking at the trailer some more, the vault dwellers killing each other appears to be in Vault 33 and...
