But it's so far away...I can't continue playing the same 3 games over and over again anymore
Ok, I see that this conversation is getting a bit heated, so I'd like to be more specific on what I mean when I say "developers". I am not talking about the entire studio, I am talking about the man and woman that were making the game, not the higher-ups. The way those men and women that write the lines of code, make models and animations, that plan out the storyline, the way they are treated. Don't blame THEM, they're just employees and they do the best they can in the ...
I forgot to mention something and a later comment reminded me of it. The devs for (IIRC) Anthem were very active on Reddit before the release, they were glad to talk to gamers and talk about the game and their plans for it. After the game released and people started attacking and insulting them they pulled away from Reddit. That's the part where I said we need to stay civilized when things like that happen, we want them to stay online, we want them to talk to us.
Do you really think that developers don't see what you say? When you post on social media and tag the game and dev, it comes to them eventually. How would you feel if something you worked hard on is being absolutely torn to shreds and people act like it's all your fault?
I'm not saying we should ignore if a game is bad, but that some devs don't deserve to be insulted and attacked the way they are. You should complain, at the end of the article you have a gre...
That is the problem, it's not their choice if it gets released, it has to be released. I'm not saying we should just ignore that a game is bad or, even worse, praise it even if it is bad, but if it's clear the game didn't spend enough time in development, we should give the devs a chance to patch it around before we go on a witchhunt. Just make it clear we want it fixed and give them a month or two extra to get it done. If it's still not good, nor is showing signs of getti...
But can you really be mad at the chef if for years you've enjoyed his burgers and you know they are amazing burgers? Now he had to change restaurants and instead of taking 10 minutes to properly season it, grill it and decorate it before you can bite into it, he has 2 minutes to get it in your hands and start making the next one.
You could say he should just change restaurants, but the other restaurants also want it done in 2 minutes or they want steaks, sushi or maybe ...
I respect your opinion on crunch, but it really is a problem if you're being forced to do it. When I'm working on 3D models I notice a difference between the final result if I personally decided to put in extra hours to make it as perfect as possible and if I was given a short deadline and I start cutting corners and push myself further than I should just to finish it in time.
It's not just my experience, a lot of people go through that. Not only is the final pr...
The problem is, when you look at the big name developers, it's a small world. Everyone knows everyone and if you make a problem in one studio, everyone is going to know.
One of the things mentioned in the GDC State of the Industry survey is that a lot of developers are not happy (especially with the fact that CEOs get multi-million bonuses from their work and their sleepless nights) and they're considering unionizing, but they are still afraid of the possible backl...
Don't worry, Google offers internet too, as mentioned, I'm sure they would be more than glad to bundle it with Stadia
Again, this is just a very optimistic view on it and how it COULD be good, the next piece is where I talk about it more realistically.
Hyped more in the sense that it's all everyone is talking about currently.
Don't worry, tomorrow's article rips em a new one. I'm not a fan of it either, but this is why it could be awesome in theory, and you have to admit, in theory it sounds great
What's the worst that can happen, it's just EA....
You're telling me you wouldn't go full VC and cover the map in Punji sticks?
You just micromanage, theres no real action. Everything happens in the background
I'm not sure they would be interested in acquiring GOG, they have their own marketplaces they are focusing on. Also if they were, I believe they would have already made an offer by now.
Time will tell, but I hope GOG sticks around.
I agree, I've spent way too much time playing it and this were some of my favorite mods back in the day
He is trying his hardest to stay relevant...taking "Any press is good press" to another level
The awards were yesterday? I'm pretty sure that the site that was the official media partner of the awards isn't going to post about it too late.
