Ain't nobody gonna play that fat chick with the tiny head. They didn't learn from Concord apparently.

Roger that, well I guess I'll wait patiently with everyone else for there to be a resolution. This kind of bug going on for as long as it has sort of signals that this is either incompetence or just nobody really cares that much (perhaps because the site doesn't really make enough money to make it worth the effort).

At any rate, I appreciate you man. Sucks to be stuck in the middle like this. Happy New Year!

Roger that. I'm here if you need me.

Hey Christopher this is heart breaking to hear. I tried DMing you but as predicted, that's broken too. So maybe you can DM me an email address so I chat with you freely. I run a tech team of web app programmers and I promise you we can fix this site up. I do this work for large VCs and enterprise level apps with massive concurrent users.

If this is interesting or there is a budget you can try DMing me with an email address for more details or to setup a call.

I know we're not supposed to be playtesting games for devs, but keep in mind the pressure that comes from a big company like Warner Bros. It's very likely they were forced to rush this out. I do think they'll fix the input lag, lack of displaying strings, offline play issues and add in match making lobbies before the year is out.

The argument you're making is a strawman. No one is saying companies should own genres or mechanics. FPS games, fighting games, and Souls-likes all share traits, but they still build their own worlds and identities. This Chinese clone didn’t just borrow ideas, it blatantly lifted Horizon Zero Dawn’s art direction, world design, character archetypes, and even logo styling. That’s not "the nature of art," that’s straight-up plagiarism.

Your comparisons to id Sof...

Well said, I just wish you'd written it yourself without Chat GPT writing it for you. It makes your statements lose impact and come off as trite.

They may single-handedly set the market price for video games given the quality is AAA. I have to think any AAA that is thinking about $80 games will have to rethink that price point. We need more games of this quality and this price point to keep AAA game devs from thinking that $80 should be the new norm.

Don't click the link! It is a spam site that says your phone has a virus.

"if you have ever wrestled with a xboxdev kit you might understand why" I felt that in my bones also having developed on an Xbox Devkit.

There is a reason Sony chases GaaS and live service games and as a game developer I'll tell you why. When they hit they make TONS of money. Let's use GTA5 as an example. The game's total revenue was $8.6B. At least $3B of that total was made from GTA Online. It can expect to make at least $500M on a yearly basis.

Now God of War and Elden Ring $9B and $1.2B with God of War being a hit title by a first party studio and Elden Ring being more of the norm for a third...

As it stands right now, AI is really good at taking existing concepts that a human imagines and then organizing them into a coherent story. You still need creativity, but I think having a "room of writers" is probably no longer necessary. So in that regard AI is taking jobs. For instance, let's say I provide AI with a number of characters and what their personalities are. I might say, (if making a murder mystery) the Butler who seems like the protagonist is actually the killer....

Kojima's narratives and characters brim with imagination and creativity, often overshadowing any shortcomings in dialogue reminiscent of B-movies. Frankly, that's part of the appeal. Embarking on a journey into Kojima's mind is an exhilarating experience, and for many of us, we eagerly embrace it. Could the character dialogues be polished? Undoubtedly. However, doing so might strip away the very charm that makes these stories unique. There's a part of me, perhaps the inner chi...

It's not about budget. It's about a "fat" character would be more pixels to shoot at and a severe disadvantage to anyone playing a character like this. As it is, even noob Fortnite players choose the female characters for this very reason. Smaller targets are harder to hit.

Was the first thing I noticed as well. They could legit record it from the movie since in that scene there aren't any other sounds overlaying it. If this game is coming to PC, the mod community will replace the sound properly I'm sure.

Thanks for letting us know.

After 2014 Sessler became kind of a loon. It's cool to have a political view. It's not cool to say you hate anyone from an opposing political party including members of your own family. He used to be a smart commentator. Now I can't look past how crazy he's become. Of course that's part of the reason G4 failed anyway.
