I came to comment on the same thing. I remember when World Warcraft was yet to be released, most weren’t expecting it to succeed due to its silly look compared to Ultimate Online 2 and Everquest 2 coming out near the same time, and I want to say there was another big name that was expected to run the same time but it eludes me. WoW was often criticized as looking to cartoony and potentially made just for young children. Of course this was before the beta was out, and you had at most screen captures in gaming magazines.

I’m going to patent the crap out of everything.

Like if you push a button in the direction your character is facing you move in that direction. I’m going to patent that shit.

Then I’m going to patent that if you push button and the opposite direction of your character, if it’s a 3D game you turn around. And then I have ab separate patent with having the character walk backwards.

I’ll just take the absolute piss out of the most basic things and absolutely everything I can find. And then throw a bunch of frivolous patent lawsuits at Nintendo.

I know it’s petty. But maybe Nintendo, like many other corporations in the gaming industry, have just been around maybe a little too long and have lost the vision and the purpose. Cuz at this point Nintendo’s not even trying. But they are heavily relying on nostalgia for sales. They’re more known for being a litigious company than a gaming company.

Fairly certain I’ve bought a game that was like 34 cents or something. I definitely charged me the 34 cents.

Dragon Ball was using capsules to store things long before Pokemon did. And Dragon Ball Z, which ended in Japan in '96 had already done storing 'creatures in capsules. Saibamen for one. And after the Saiyan saga Bulma puts her dead friends in coffin capsules.

So Akira Toriyama did it before Pokemon.

This is what everyone wanted! Another “as a service” game! Oh, and look, a store front!

and partner with some “Sims” players to sell their own custom in-game content through the EA store as “Creator Kits.”

Would those “players” be musicians? 100% someone is already trying to figure out how to “collab” with Katy Perry. Big IPs of other franchises (movies/games/anime)? Are they going to do limited timed events to really push the FOMO? Did they see Fortnite and thought “Lets do that!”.

All operating systems suck ass. There are problems and issues with all of them. It’s the same argument for programming languages. Now it’s the same argument when it comes to what brand of vehicle Ford or Chevy.

Don’t get hyper focused on a brand, on a label. Simply use what’s best for you and your needs.

Pwsh 7.x works very well in Linux. Haven’t got any snags.

You have to use a Windows desktop at home.

I personally agree. I think it’s being somewhat overhyped. If step one is physical access to get things rolling… like for sure some machines are in more public areas than others. But for me, someone would have to break into my house first, then access my machine, just to run exploits later. The exploit is pretty massive, but I think needs to be tempered with “first they need physical access”. Because physically controlling machines has always been number 1 for security.

Oh your lowballing that. If they’re already trying to get ahead of this, that can’t be a good sign.

I always took it that because he’s clearly not that that’s the amount of influence he has on people.

I had to go watch it. You’re not wrong, it tells you absolutely nothing about the game. Everything looked per-rendered. It reminded me a lot of the Beyond Good and Evil 2 trailer from 2017… where it could just as easily be a CGI movie than a video game.

This is a common, well known, well documented problem. Before Lemmy or was a regular subject on Reddit. Pretty sure every Pixel has had this problem (though I’m not 100% on that)

You know it. Think of all the skins, decals, tires, and practical effects for the car. Then there’s going to be all the clothes for your character! Oh and spray paint for some reason, every game needs spray paints that everyone hates so it can fill up slots in the loot box!

Your forgetting the sweet music! Something I’m fairly certain this version wi6ne have.

Their unapologetic human exploitation to get the things made. When I think of Apple, I think of anti-suicide nets designed to prevent you from jumping to your death due to work conditions.

Anti-consumer practices. Which pairs well with the low quality, but high prices. (Before someone starts yelling at me, think how many strait up destroyed Apple product charging cables you’ve seen vs any other brand, or go watch Louis Rossmann)

A walked garden experience. Both in software in hardware.

I want to bring up prices again. Everything is overpriced.

They do a bunch of the same things Microsoft does, but for some reason, get a pass. The features on an iPhone lag behind Android. But for some reason, Apple is heralded as a leader and innovative.

I think we’re only ever see a new engine once Todd is no longer part of the company. Because the quote him out of context ‘it just works’

They had a turd. They polished it up a little. It’s still the same turd.

Their ‘modern’ engine is only modern to them, but it’s pathetically behind everyone else. I can only imagine the spaghetti code that thing is at this point.

Probably not popular opinion, but pwsh (powershell). It’s got a lot of tooling built in and means I don’t have to learn a different tool just because I’m in a different system.

Honestly, that really didn’t impress me much. Not a hard no, more of a wait and see sort of game.

Perfect Dark on the N64 was my favorite game on that console. Combat was great and the story kept me engaged. For me, it was the best N64 game.

From what they decided to show, outside the name this didn’t have any elements I would expect. Doesn’t mean it’s a bad game right out of the gate.
