Nothing definitive, but one of the people involved behind the scenes made a long post that went into the details, the post was deleted, and Hussie refused to confirm or deny anything afterwards. Because of that, most people assume it happened but when he found out they settled before it reached the lawsuit stage, and the settlement included some kind of non disclosure agreement. I think I remember hearing something similar happening between that company and Neil Gaiman too, but I might be remembering wrong.

Not only that, but they also announced that the epilogue to King's Quest would only be available to people who bought the Complete Edition and not to those who bought the episodes separately or through Season Pass, which was, of course, not announced until two or three episodes in (unless that's changed since I last heard about it, in which case, feel free to correct me).Idran posted:I think I remember hearing something similar happening between that company and Neil Gaiman too, but I might be remembering wrong.

His disliked it for the same reason (among others he had) I did - the horrible grind. Glad I didn't bother finishing the game, had I saw that ending I would have been really pissed and/or annoyed. Then again, a lot of indie hipsters are all about that meta poo poo so maybe they're just saying all games are a tedious grinds that are ultimately worthless and amount to nothing. I don't agree with some of his other videos but at least he takes the effort to explain them and do so in depth. A good channel. Thanks for introducing me to it.

No Man's Sky suckered me with that first trailer of theirs but the hype quickly died out and I'm glad it did. It looks like a game of a series of bad execution. Maybe if I hadn't played Elite Dangerous, the game could appeal to me as a chill space exploration game to unwind with or whatever but it just looks like it has no mechanical depth to it whereas with Elite, you could make your own fun using what tools exist there and appreciate the minutia to it all. And boy, that was some ending. The game would have been better served by not having one, but from what I've seen that's the least of its problems.

Sounds like people who say that the reason Spec Ops' gunplay was bad was cause war is bad. What I'm saying is I hope I get these people buying my games that suck and instead of thinking its a bad game instead find some deep metaphor in it while I continue laughing my way to the bank.

Leal posted:Sounds like people who say that the reason Spec Ops' gunplay was bad was cause war is bad. Yeah, I don't buy that excuse one bit. Games are comprised of parts and while you, as a developer, have strengths in different areas, you should and must make a game to the best of your ability. Deliberately making the gameplay garbage to prove a point is terrible. Unless you are giving the game away for free, then that could be an interesting idea, assuming people make it through your bad-playing "game." I'm all for weird poo poo developers can come up with, but if you are peddling that stuff to consumers you have to make sure it's of a certain quality. You must never make the people who played your game feel as if they wasted their time. That's the biggest failing of a game. To play a game get absolutely nothing out of it because of the gameplay loop and what it all leads to. DStecks posted:This game about nomadically travelling from world to world has an ending where it reveals that your journey has only just begun? What the gently caress is this bullshit I deserve a refund If you don't intend a game to have an end then don't put in an ending. It's as simple as that. I've put an embarrassing amount of time in Elite: Dangerous and there isn't an end-goal except the ones I set for myself. I set a goal to buy a really fantastic ship and once I did that, I felt a great sense of accomplishment in doing so. If the developer put that goal in at the onset and made it part of the UI telling me how much closer I was to getting that, my expectations would have been built up. So if I bought that ship and it wasn't the greatest game-changing thing I've ever encountered in the game, I would have been aggravated or let down. It just seems like a no-brainer thing to do. Non-endings are the least offensive of bad endings, in my opinion. They can be overlooked if the gameplay was solid but endings that retroactively make everything you've done pointless (either narratively or gameplay-wise) just ruin games. Don't get art-house with your endings, yo.

Much like the rest of the game, people seem mostly mad because the devs gave a false impression of what it was going to be like. *NB I have only followed this from watching others' gameplay/criticism

That's why the game isn't built for you ever returning to places you've been, because NMS is about forward motion and never staying anywhere too long. Also LMAO at criticizing a game for "wasting the player's time" and praising Elite Dangerous in the same post. Jimbot posted:Don't get art-house with your endings, yo. NMS is an art game.

Puppy Time posted:The problem, in my view*, is that it gives the impression that it's building to something, then basically does the equivalent of the Super Mario Brothers ending. honestly, that is a sound inference to make with my programming background I can tell you that everything NMS does mechaniclly is tremendously simple, what was sold was not scope or scale but a 64-bit seed value with ZERO culling conditions. the generation algorithm can produce 2^64 discrete states and it outputs ALL of them. What I only recently discovered was all the little tricks to make it work, each planet having 10 species and 3-5 planets, and one space station is not a choice of the seed system: I'd wager that to save on initialization and other overhead, none of those objects are ever culled from memory just overwritten continuously. The upshot of which is you're seeing the same solar system with a new coat of digital paint each time, and not in the sense 'everything feels samey' but the 10 slots for creatures are in identical registers, locations of minerals and points of interest would placed in identical coordinates on every planet. Most computer entertainment has learned to hide these tricks; NMS from what I've seen doesn't bother, or more likely doesn't know how. The junior team packaged a lot objects (crafting, mining, procedural generation, plot progression and dialog tress) in a very CS 101, just the bare minimum to get the passing grade fashion, it ships after having implemented one prototype and won't ever finesse or revisit a completed project, which can be a problem when all your marketing material states that in a masterstroke hello games birthed an entire universe in less than 6 gigabytes. skullhead tethyis fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Oct 2, 2016 |

I just caught up with this one, and thought it was interesting how you contrasted Welles as Falstaff (lovable rogue) with Welles as Harry Lime (villainous rogue). When Welles got the chance to reprise the character of Harry Lime for radio, he played the character as a charming schemer, more along the lines of Falstaff.
