Echo Dot

Have you tried having another kid?

The online mode a bit wortnit unless your idea of a good time is getting blown up ever 5 seconds

As a very much code oriented person I don’t think I could even give you useful feedback on music.

Presumably I would just hand over a dev build of the game and see what they thought made sense. I wonder what the AAA developers are even saying to control the music direction.

That would have to be the weirdest advertising strategy in the history of all advertising.

My our game, it’s really shit

The cam girl porn was the valuable bit. I sure as hell know nobody wants the Borderlands code

So why hasn’t someone in charge taking his Twitter account away from him?

You know how some people have seen eye dogs, well he needs a thinking brain person. Anytime he is in public there should be someone stood next to him who interrupts him before he has the opportunity to answer, and gives the corporately sanitised answer he should have given.

It’s not that he’s a tool it’s at the game it has poor performance. And being a tool is just a guarantee that issue will never be fixed.

So in a way I kind of do blame the team, they must have done testing they know what the performance is like.

Was he?

Personally I’ve always thought of him as a bit of a prick.

Any interest I had in the game, which was already fairly minimal, was completely obliterated when the price was announced.

2K can actually release a functional game though. The problem is they get greedy after the fact.

I mean I sort of agree, but I’ve both used custom engines and seen people trying use custom engines and you have this problem where the engine was designed for a game, rather than for any game. So if the original game didn’t have a particular feature the engine has no capacity to do that thing, so every time you want to make a new game in that engine, you basically have to rewrite the engine.

It works if you build an engine to be an engine, but as you say that’s extremely expensive and time consuming and you probably am not going to get any benefit out of it. You could try selling the engine, but you’re unlikely to make much progress unless there is a significant improvement over the other options already available.

I don’t understand how Sony would allow a game on their platform that doesn’t actually run. Like surely they will require to provide some kind of advanced copy for them to review?

If your engine is crap then you don’t get brownie points because it’s custom.

After all, Starfield is on a custom engine, and it had exactly the same problems as Borderlands 4.

Yeah but I would have known thwy had released because they would have been advertising or something. I don’t feel like anyone’s spoken about Borderlands since that comment about how it should be $90 or whatever.

I thought steam banned those kind of games.

Will probably have an actual galactic empire before this game releases. Assuming they never does release because I’m not convinced that the guy isn’t totally in on the idea that it’s a scam.

I have an issue with the idea that Borderlands is dominating gaming news. I didn’t even realise it had launched so I wouldn’t exactly call it popping off the shelf.

People need to be compensated for their work, that may end up being an awful lot and probably in excess of what they need, but that’s how it has to work. Any other system would just disincentivize people from putting in the effort, in fact it would force them not to because they would have to do something else in order to earn enough money to live. The precise opposite of your desired outcome would happen, the rich would produce endless amounts of content just to more money, and all the smaller artists would have to go and get a job in Costco or something.

The only way your idea would work is if we completely change the economic system and got rid of money. Which I’m all in favour of but I suspect is probably outside of the scope of copyright law.

That isn’t the problem.

Copyright law does run out after a while it’s not immediately upon the holders death but after their death there’s a grace period and then the copyright runs out.

The problem is the likes of Disney get special treatment. Their patents should have run out long before any of us were born and yet they didn’t.

The problem isn’t the system itself, the problem is the abuse of the system.

But ot does work with foliage though.

Maybe they think they can do a better job, but it definitely does work with plants. It didn’t used to, when it first came out it was limited to just static objects, and it didn’t work on terrain at first which I was thought was a weird restriction, but it works on pretty much everything now.
