My Vita is sitting charging plugged into the wall a few feet from my PC. It has a thick layer of dust and I have literally not turned it on in four months. I think I plugged it in to charge so I could wipe it before putting it up on eBay, but then :effort:

I very much get mutata even if I don't agree with all their stances. Gamers are entertainment consumers feeding at a trough where most of the people involved have committed intellectual property theft since this poo poo started. It's an ugly business. It's hard to make money. You work hundreds of hours of overtime and get paid less than you would doing boring easier work in equivalent non-gaming version of your job. And a ton of people are incredibly petty and hoping you fail because you made a bad Aliens game or you made a game exclusive to a platform they didn't like or it's a story game and story games suck or you're resurrecting a franchise they love and they don't think you can do it justice or you're simply a big name but not the big name that they love or hell maybe they don't like your games for justified reasons but all they can do is talk about how much they hate you and how much you deserve to fail. And then inevitably you will fail because everyone fails some of the time and gamers, informed by a childish culture, will parade your failures forever.

At the few game companies I worked for, we couldn't read the fan boards. We even wanted to but looking at them was painful because the hate stood out. It was just a lot of near aimless negativity thrown at you about something done months or years ago when you'd moved past it and had been in a dozen meetings talking about how to do better and were already working on the next thing. Half the fans didn't know what they were talking about but we couldn't explain to them why without spending 20 pages telling the history of the thing they were complaining about that they probably wouldn't read or care about, anyway.

Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.
Been playing Dishonored 2 (got it from GF for Christmas and been on backlog) story is meh(like the last one) but the world building and lore are cool. they also greatly improved the combat and the made it even more gory. grenades really tear stuff up.

I just saw this. Speaking of Gearbox.... Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is really good. It's not exactly "modern-times" but it basically feels like commanding a Carrier Battle Group, which is a real thing

Hell yea that game was good.

Then I foolishly went back and tried to replay Homeworld 1 and 2. They did not age well at all. Especially with all their lovely missions.

They cleaned up the textures and unified the UI for 1 and 2 so you can do stuff like pick formations in 1 that you couldn't do before. No other changes beyond that, including leaving in some legacy bugs like being unable to progress a mission if you save all 6 of the cryo pods lol

It's from the MMX6 video that was posted about Blaze Heatnix's "stage" where they just made you fight the same boring red donut enemy five times in a loving row with slight bad changes and always with a massive pool of health to chew through.

Not entirely true. SInce they basically ported HW1 to a modernized version of the HW2 engine, it screwed up a lot of the balance and mechanics for the first game. For example, HW1 simulates all of its shots while HW2 just uses a bunch of dice rolls. To their credit, however, they then went and released one last major patch that I think fixed all of that stuff.

E: And "cleaning up the textures" doesn't give them enough credit, since they completely remodeled and retextured everything, for HW1, at least. Say what you will about Gearbox, but it was a legitimate, graphical remake instead of just an HD upres.

Hi,

I haven't played any PC games in probably 8 years but used to loving love playing Empire Earth, Age of Empires, and Command and Conquer and other "historic"/modern RTS games. Has there been anything in the past few years I should check out?

Thank you,
