I really am impressed by the level of detail in Liberty City in GTA4. I have such a great time just cruising through the city going to new places just checking all the different sights. I grew up in London and there are so many parts of the world that remind me of being back home. This definitely feels like the best video game city I've ever spent time in.

A couple of days ago I remembered Ubisoft's battle royale Hyper Scape which was popular for three days last year

it's kind of depressing because it had a thing where viewers watching streams of it would vote on stuff that would affect the match like adding low gravity but it currently has 94 viewers on twitch

The last vestiges of anything resembling the BioWare people cared about has been dead since early Andromeda development

It's sad that Anthem turned out so crappy because the animation work in the game is extremely good and going entirely to waste. From what little I played, the feeling of taking off flying in your mech suit was fantastic and it owed largely to how perfectly-animated the takeoff, flying, and midair maneuvering animations were. A ton of work and skill went into those and it's sad that the rest of the game never rises above a peak of :shrug:

I'm glad I didn't end up buying Anthem. I got the EA Play thing for like $1 on some special deal and played Anthem for a few hours, then stopped and used the rest of the time on my subscription to play Titanfall 2 and had a great time

I was interested in Anthem then saw a stream where it took a group like 40 minutes to kill a boss who had an insanely big health bar and it looked miserable

and it wasn't an interesting-looking raid boss either, it was like a big ant

after editing wikipedia as a joke for 16 years, i ve convinced myself that homer simpson's japanese name translates to the "The beer goblin"
My favorite part about Anthem was first teased it and everybody was like "wow, that game will be fun to play in three years" and then the release date was like 8 months later and people went "wow that game won't be done in time" and it wasn't.

I think Stupid Physics Deaths are peak video games too; at least, in any situation that didn't involve so much falling inexorably and quickly into extremely large and hazardous interstellar phenomena (sometimes on purpose!!!)

You can complain about it to the guy who made the autopilot and see what insights he has to offer!

I made a point of suiting up as soon as I got in. I was also good at smashing into other planets/the sun/etc.

I think I spent a couple hours total landing in that goddamn thing. At least hour and half of deliberately doing so, for good reasons, but plenty of time doing the same because I'd lazily slap on autopilot and look at my phone or something and oops heat death via inside-sun

Also excited to see how you feel about it when you're done, the ending cobbles together the strangest combination of emotions, including a few emotional muscles I don't think any human alive today was meant to experience

Yeah people fixate on Developer Names and less on the names of the developers working there

Remember when EA wanted to milk the mindshare of BioWare and started renaming studios as BioWare extensions

Or when interplay brought back black isle studio as an unmanned company for a few years that did nothing before shutting down. That was such a weird non-event.

It was right around the kickstarter surge and the baldurs gate ports... Maybe they were trying to cash on on that but forgot to make a game to sell?
