I dunno how common it is to use that kind of technique legitimately but whenever I see it used it always makes me think "ahahaha none of that is going to look good at release time"

speaking of sweeping camera moves, i had one of those 3d mouse things and it doesn't work with much but it would work with Second Life and it would let you control a flying camera. it made everything feel so much more epic when I could sweep through things with an easy motion and take dramatic angles of everything, even if everything was mostly sex shops and flying dongs then it broke and i didn't replace it cause gently caress for a feeble little thing those controllers are drat expensive

They could just merge the codes or something. They're probably in the same programing language anyway. Developers are too lazy for that though

Turn based strategy games, though, are all about gameplay though. Lots take into account things like positioning, elevation, damage type, or other factors like that. A game doesn't need to be in real time to put gameplay first. Adventure games and visual novels, though, are lacking in the interactivity department and often put gameplay as secondary, or sometimes make it almost non-existent.

opus111 posted:whats all the fuss with colonial marines about? Short Answer:  Long Answer: Gearbox took SAGA's money and outsourced dirt poor 3rd world developers, then when they saw what a poo poo sandwich it iwas they pre-rendered everything from the game to look awesome for all the demos, and apparently even stuff they showed Saga (I believe Saga kicked their rear end in a law suit) and just completely lied their asses off about one of the most broken and terrible crapfests in a while. It's also by far the worst Aliens game. Poor SAGA, they've had no luck with it. And before them, Aliens games were generally awesome.

Not just steam has lots of sales now either since both Green Man Gaming and GOG.com have sales regularly. Easy to wait for games like No Man's Sky to come out and drop in price once they disappoint. I could see a preorder if you're sure a dev can deliver a good product. Or if you can get a really good deal on it.

How about the part where the game had over 200,000 concurrent players at its height, which qualifies as a huge success for the development budget that likely went into No Man’s Sky. SteamSpy is estimating that over 750,000 players purchased the game, and that’s only on Steam. These numbers don’t take the game’s PlayStation 4 audience into account, nor services like GoG. "The numbers speak of a phenomenal launch for a game, the huge amount of players and respective playtimes speak to a far more content number of people than internet chatter would have you believe," game developer Rob Fearon wrote. "Holding out in the Steam top sellers for days, even during the release of a much awaited big box title is an amazing feat for a game. Despite the internet at large’s story, people want to play No Man’s Sky. People are playing No Man’s Sky. No Man’s Sky is not a failure. It is a success." But those numbers were reported on as if they constituted a failure, instead of proving that No Man’s Sky is likely to be one of the most successful games of the year. Neither Hello Games nor Sony ever stepped into with any data or even analysis to set the record straight. So the negative perception of sales and players is willing. This is a huge problem in games in general I personally enjoy No Man’s Sky, and I know plenty of other folks who do as well. I’m not playing it right now, so I contributed to the sharp drop of concurrent players. Does that mean I "abandoned" the game or that it’s a failure? Well, no. I’m not playing because other games have been released. In general I don’t play many games after the first two weeks of my purchase. I would argue that many, if not most, of the many people who purchased the game either enjoyed it, are still enjoying it or put on the back burner, or don’t like it as much as they thought they would and have shrugged at it before moving onto other things. The game has likely sold an ungodly amount of copies, and the number of concurrent players on Steam is still very high for what amounts to an independent release. You need to have the Adobe Flash Player to view this content. But neither Hello Games nor Sony have given us any of that good news. They have not blown their own horn, nor done much to talk about what the players who like the game enjoy about it. No Man’s Sky is an ambitious game that sold a poo poo ton of copies and has a Metacritic score of 64. Everyone involved has much in which to be proud. But instead, the loudest, most negative voices are shouting unopposed. Their version of events and perception of the game as a failure and / or result of years of lying is more or less going completely unchallenged by the people who have the most to gain by defending, or at least explaining, the situations that led to these controversies. Instead we get a few mealy-mouthed change logs for patches and then silence. No Man’s Sky is a huge success, but when it’s viewed as a failure Sony and Hello Games will have no one to blame but themselves.
