The cheapest Nvidia GeForce RTX 4000 GPU is getting even cheaper at some European retailers, in an ominous sign for the RTX 4060 less than a week after launch.
I swear, Caravan was created by like this one guy at Obsidian who was locked in a broom closet with a bunch of mismatched playing cards and when someone finally went to get the mop bucket one day found him in their, crazed and dehydrated, and he'd created Caravan.
My favourite example of Bethesda going quantity over quality is when they looked at New Vegas, saw that every gamer and their (cyber)dog said they loved the dialogue, and Todd's takeaway from that was "Soooo...we should fully voice the player character...twice over?"
Oh, and there's a reason they went to a dialogue wheel...
This. They're selling an experience, not just...a game. It's a fuckload of sizzle for a relatively tiny and bland sausage.
It's funny how you get the mainstream gamer crowd lose their shit over a lot of Nintendo games for selling well - despite the "bad" graphics and "kiddy" themes, and I'm just like..."The gameplay is solid. That's what makes games good."
Yeah, it's easy to have a bug-free game if everything is hard-scripted to play out exactly in one way. COD SP campaign set pieces are bug-free because literally everything was hand crafted to play out exactly the way it does for every player, in every instance.
They're not games so much as they're movie sets, and the player is just the lead actor. Acting simulators.
I'm not worried about the bugs so much as I'm worried about the half-arsed mechanics Todd slipped in here that Bethesda really doesn't know how to do properly (crafting, base-building, romance) that's outside the scope of their skills.
I fear it's gonna be "Todd Howard Tries To Clone No Man's Sky, Mass Effect, And The Sims - But In SPACE! - And Fails Miserably".
If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still potentially take more than a decade for the start-up to secure commercial use approval
Same. A few years back when there was a big shift to make reddit Social Media™ (which it is not) because that's what gets money from investors they started clamping down on anything non-circlejerky because they were trying to grow subs and promote it as the Happiest Place On The Intarwebs.
That's my main desire when not wanting this to be Reddit 2.0, that and a move away from the heavily US-centric bias, in views, content and assumption it's the default lived experience of the users.
Unfortunately, American lensing isn't a function of reddit, it's a function of Americans, full stop.
Did you ever have that feeling on reddit of "I better word my post just right, otherwise AutoMod will take it down"? Some subs had such strict auto moderating that it was a crap shoot to post something. Not so here. I know there's value in moderation, and I'm sure Lemmy/kbin/etc. will add more of it with time. But, for now, it...
You've got a bunch of nerds whose sole positive trait they ascribe to themselves is being smart, so they'll do anything to prove that - it's the only thing keeping them going. That was reddit.
Truegaming was like that: you had to make a post that fostered a discussion...but you couldn't frame it in any was as something that could possibly be asking readers a question, or imply a demand for reader input.
So, you had to write something that people would reply to and not reply to at the same time...
