I only ever bought RDR2 from them, which is still bringing me a lot of enjoyment, and after seeing how they squandered RDR online for the heinous crime of not printing money fast enough, I don’t think I’ll be buying anything from them for the foreseeable future.

Dude’s gonna get epsteined

Conversely, lack of proper management is also an issue on a lot of videogames projects. Probably has never happened at Ubisoft but I’ve seen it firsthand in small studios

You’re missing out. Ryzens are awesome

This is why I carry 2 Dane axes. One to throw at archers, one to fight

Meh. If it has no major flaws (except the blandness) they can pretty much prop up the sales with marketing.

I found a fatal flaw : it’s an extremely invasive kernel-level anticheat.

I’ll take my payment in euros, thanks.

That was the one thing they didn’t fuck up. Ironically I remember them breaking that system a bit with a recent update (maybe they fixed it since, I have not played it for a while now)

BFV was ok. A little starved for content but it wasn’t a bad launch imo. It could have become amazing if they actually released that eastern front update they teased for ages

Not hating on the originals but that’s not a high bar to clear. But yeah, so far I have not encountered any major bug after 3+ hours so I’d say they cleared it. DLSS is fucked up though for some reason, (I can see the actual (not upscaled) frame every 4 frame or something) which is weird because it usually works pretty well out of the box in unreal.

They still have not evolved suitable defence against their other natural predator (the Russian state)

Will do. I’m basically one decent trailer away from impulse buying it anyway. As a fellow game developer, allow me to say: I truly wish things will get better for you guys.

Bethesda has some serious issues they need to sort out with their production pipelines

That’s a strange way to spell “Todd Howard” /s

Do you really think that either of them are going to pay any significant amount to be the default?

I can see Bing doing it. And Google is so far gone that it would probably be an improvement

They are all bullshit, but holy fuck, how the hell were they even allowed to register the third one ?

its not normative womans, gays and trans people.

Not broad enough. When “gamers” say that something is political, what they mean is that it contains politics they disagree with. The ones you cited just happen to be the things they easily recognize because their favorite right wing grifter is raging about them 24/7.
As you also said, they usually don’t have the media literacy required to recognize more subtle political messages, which can be pretty funny. I remember when Disco Elysium was first released and they were very confused because it contains some actual, pretty deep political reflections

The old-school way, which is basically just overlaying an image with transparency over another one (in this case I also had to crop the template I found because it was the one with the 2 guys, and I used some online image editor tool but paint.net or gimp would have done the job if I had bothered to install them). I just searched “soyjack pointing template transparency PNG” in duckduckgo images search for the template.

These weapon handling animations look gorgeous. Hope they’re not faked for the trailer.

Basically me when I saw that one :

Any IP escaping Take Two’s claws is good news

They brought that one upon themselves imo. They were privately owned for 10 years before their IPO in 2018
