Weird.

I’d have expected Assassin’s Creed Odyssey achievements to be added to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.

I don’t.

But I’m about to ensure nobody ever gets to buy any Winnie the Pooh stuff ever again. I will obliterate every trace.
I have my reasons.

Yeah this new stock of devs just don’t have it in them to deliver anything great. Their values and language likely prevent them from even considering something more visceral. Wouldn’t be surprised if most of them have lived such uninteresting lives they have nothing to draw from. That’s at least what they write like.

Seems they don’t know why their hero kills, they don’t believe in the culling the player enacts. They’d probably rather he didn’t.

They seem like they’d prefer to make Animal Crossing in space, they don’t really want to write about empire, conquest, terrible crimes, deep-seated hate. Ending threats.

They don’t even want to know how the tools of the trade work. Just look at the animations for the models, you can tell that whoever worked on then feared being put on an FBI watchlist if they looked up a video on how pump action shotguns work.

These kinds of dev teams are fully incapable of writing good villains and a cast of characters with wildly different moralities that are grounded in something real.

They’re not interested in combat games. They shouldn’t touch them. They should leave and make room for those who want to.

Too fucked up and funny for contemporary audiences.

You can have a commune of wiccans represented respectfully in the game, with a soup making minigame, a small patch for planting and harvesting vegetables you can use, and a short quest chain featuring a little “theatre” performance event near the end, where you get to play the role of one of the fae. You even get a “play dead” button. The commune will feature interesting and iconic characters with appropriate jokes.

“Let the old games DIE!”

Fuck you and everything you stand for.

It’ll become a partisan thing and then the Republicans will start killing more games just to make libs sad.

And that’s fair. If we can’t figure out how to write this regulation properly, people shouldn’t sign it.

I don’t think so. It’s dead.

He hates StopKillingGames, because he thinks it will make bad actors try to ruin devs because he expects people to try to profit from being able to provide game access to players when the devs are out of the picture. So therefore we can’t stop killing games, we need to just let games die and stop feeling entitled to the necessary code to run servers. And besides we need to get comfortable buying games with temporary licensing deals that are more convenient and cheap for the developers so they can not renew them if the game isn’t successful, and if the license runs out then we need to accept that the music or car or whatever legally needs to be removed. And we need to accept that if corporate wants to delete our accounts or sew our mouth to somebody’s ass then that’s just gonna have to happen because it’s what we agreed to. Turns out the man is a business bro shill cunt totally cool with the new bullshit because it’s preferred by the suits.

What are the names of the people on the board, and the main shareholders?

Personally I’ve always wanted a game where I can talk to the raiders in the forest, tell them to stop raiding the nearby villages, then leave and come back later to find burnt ruins where a village used to be.

But this’ll do.

I’m sure the coffee pirates are good pirates who respect other people’s property. Coffee merchants in pirate costume.

Business majors just get more authority than they ought to. They should be treated more like secretaries and advisors in most cases, not bosses.

I was tanking and wiped three times on the sea giant in Siege of Boralus yesterday, at Mythic +3, before I remembered the giant statue in the middle of the area blocks the wave attack.

Top gamer.

The funny thing to me is that a throwaway Sony account seems more likely to make a future intentional use of Sony’s services a hassle.

You can’t make the account because that email is already in use. You do the “forgot my password” thing. You notice that the account’s name is terrible, and now you’ve spent more time fixing a worse thing than if you just didn’t have an existing account at all.

Or you make a new account with a new email. Making the God of War account a useless little mole on your library.

I’d call it an appendix, but unlike forced account creation for single player games, the appendix has actually been proven to have a legitimate purpose despite its shortcomings.

That’s where modern sequels are best experienced. At a distance, not dealing with them.

Because business majors only know how to exploit good things that would be better off without them.

If the good thing is left to just be better off without them – while they fuck around with a separate thing – then people will never be interested in the business majors’ product.

Rewriting things like dwemer would have no impact.

Right.

Fuck you.

You are why they do these things to games.

Tear out the guts, replace them with industry standard parts and the most recent fad.

They haven’t been working on it since then, if they did, they’ve already scrapped it and fired the old devs.

They’re developing games for modern audiences now, they’ll be adding a bard class, there’ll be a traveling circus prominently featuring throughout the story and with a tent near most major cities. And you’ll finally be able to play as a bearded midget lady. That’s what dwemer are now, they decided. A matriarchal bearded civilization whose ancient traditions led to modern circuses. And you have to help the Queen save the world from the Nazi Elves and alt-right Nords.
