Exactly. The term "shovelware" came to prominence during the Wii era.
Although, I do remember the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something for the NES.
Then again, Atari 2600 had ET.
Democracy managed.
Exactly. When it was coming down to the end, there were over a quarter of a million people playing on the final automaton planets. And we had just started fighting their flying ships.
I don't think they were ready because their spawns don't destruct like everything else in game. And now they are no more.
Layoffs have are a short term solution to a long term problem. If these companies don't have anyone doing the actual work, they can't grow. Profits have skyrocketed at the expense of the in the chair devs.
Those are highly skilled employees. The quality of AAA(A) games are going to plummet.
I think the mobile game is Resurgence.
"A Soulslike that focuses only on magic and sorcery hasn't been done yet"
Yes it has. It's called Elden Ring.
@frost
I'll go one better:
"Micheal Pachter Blathers on and on, once again"
You mean the Division Heartland? Did they change it to Chicago?
I thought I was the only one.
I call that "backlog."
"Fixed issue where save settings for PS5 would be reset when the game is rebooted, causing things such as loadout and hint settings to reset."
Finally!
That would be amazing.
No. I'm just making fun of Kid Rock and his fans.
I think you're getting downvotes for comparing those of African decent to "wild chimps." That racist idea dates back centuries.
Whether you intended it or not.
Kid Rock is music for divorced dads who don't show up for supervised weekend visits with their kids.
When I'm playing Helldive, Impossible, or Suicide difficulty, a level 5 won't be of any help.
So 500,000 is good?
I just heard last month that more than that is bad, really bad.
Dumb. Typical. But still dumb.
Making millions, taking million dollar salaries and bonuses but it's the dev in the chair that's preventing profit?
Yeah okay, Phil.
That's due to scaling enemies. I remember not doing Haligtree untill near the end and having enemies withstand almost a full blast from Azur's Glintstone Staff Comet Azure. My level was quite high.
Melee characters are not fun in that game, especially for the Elden Beast.
Elden Ring is a terrible game for melee. It's focus and lore are all magic and sorcery.
