Translating corporate speak into human speak is a huge part of my job and it's one of those things that's brutally necessary but very, very hard to justify to higher-up corporate types — because naturally, in their minds, they're doing just fine. It comes down to the crowds they hang out with. There's an entire industry of consultants and corporate training seminars designed to continually validate its own existence by dressing up basic team-building exercises and collaboration in layer after layer of absurd, abstract concepts and convoluted acronyms. My hope is it'll die out a bit as younger generations slip into more and more executive roles, but it's an immense tide of self-important horseshit to push back against.

LaD: Infinite Wealth looks freaking incredible. There's a Sujimon combat arena where you recruit ones you've already fought and I think they also hinted at a Sujimon Snap minigame. Four new playable characters, including Kiryu (only Eri appears to have been left out from the previous game). Lots of new jobs. It also looks like they tweaked some of the combat system things that people complained about, like the inability to move characters. Positioning seems to matter more now.

The Kins posted:Yup, Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name lands in early November. It's a side-game involving Secret Agent Kiryu, of all the things, and as such is a return to the brawler action gameplay instead of Like A Dragon's RPG gameplay. I think I'm going to finally jump into the Yakuza series with 6 since it has Takeshi Kitano and from what I've read it seems to be widely considered one of the best games in the series and when they switched to a new engine? I know I'll be jumping into the story late and some stuff won't make sense but I think it might be a good place to start and then see if I wanna follow it with LaD (since it's always going on sale so cheap) or jump to TMWEHN or Infinite Wealth. I think I'm pretty much sold on Y6 and Infinite Wealth but it'll probably be too weird if I skip the two games between them I'm guessing. Edit: A lot of reviews are highly praising Cyberpunk's Phantom Liberty DLC, it looks like they completely nailed it and I have a feeling Cyberpunk 2 (or whatever name they choose for it) will probably be an excellent game considering the director of Phantom Liberty will be in charge of development and they really turned 2077 around into something special. Kudos to the devs for sticking with it so long and delivering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeDaNgvcLko SUNKOS fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Sep 20, 2023 |

Start with 0. Edit 6 is good but it doesn't hold a candle to 0/Kiwami 2/LaD.

I don't think they deserve kudos for finally making the game better at the same time they released something new to buy for it. The 2.0 changes will help with gameplay stuff for people that buy the base game now, but you still have to fork up for what might be the only good story in the game in the expansion, which then has an impact on your final ending choices in the main game. If 3 years from now Bethesda released an expansion for Starfield that came with a whole load of changes that should have been in the game in the first place people would be livid.

I finnaly was able to get my screenshots! What I did was to install the Xbox app has people suggested, then use the "save to my iphone" option. From that, I was able to upload to websites, or even share with the pc using a USB cable. I wish Microsoft would allow to download the screenshots directly from the profile, and make my xbox profile public. But this is enough, so I can share my absolute awesome Starfield ships  Centusin posted:I don't think they deserve kudos for finally making the game better at the same time they released something new to buy for it.

The release version of Cyberpunk was a farce in several ways. Including not giving review copies for the old gen version AND the old gen version being hilariusly bad. Also, Cyberpunk at release was a honest to god excellent game in the ways the game needed to be. Cyberpunk did not need a robust police system or the things people missed, because its not a open city sandbox. The internet had a hate boner with hating the game. And a lot of that was because people make money from posting extreme videos on Youtube. The more extreme the view, more clicks, more advertising money for Youtube and the youtuber. Youtube promote extremist. Tei fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Sep 20, 2023 |

If 3 years from now Bethesda released an expansion for Starfield that came with a whole load of changes that should have been in the game in the first place people would be livid. But no one's livid about this right now, so, how could that be true? It's very positively received. I'm sure if it happened with Starfield it would be... positively received. "Changes that should have been in the game in the first place," is not something which reflects reality in terms of development schedules. Developers in general want to put out the best game possible, but real world constraints (money) can make that very difficult to do. But... I think there's something to be said for how this is more a trend with large studios while smaller studios have still managed to put out incredible games out of the box, especially over the last few years. There's something to be said for how big budgets constrain developers by passing off the creative buck to the techno-solution. When there's money you throw money at problems first, and everything else second - and then whoops, we have less money than we thought, we need money now, we don't have money to fix it with money and we don't have time because we need money right now.

Toaster Beef posted:My hope is it'll die out a bit as younger generations slip into more and more executive roles, but it's an immense tide of self-important horseshit to push back against. Every job type does this, not just corporate types. Web developers will talk about ‘hydrating the dom’ and apparently not be referring to their role at a kink club, marketing types will talk about how people ‘engage brand advocacy’ unironically, I’m sure game devs have their own weird vocabulary talking about action verbs or something. It serves a purpose of quickly separating people who know what they’re talking about up to a point, until years pass and people go native and forget to talk like a normal person and everyone thinks they run around in a leather harness getting coca colas at night. The next generation will just invent their own bollocks instead. E: oh it’s an Xbox thread. Uh starfield is more like snorefield.

I think we are seeing an interesting little shift from a studio using the sales model to capture consumers, which usually goes okay we captured all the 70 dollar consumers - with sales we can capture the 40 dollar consumers, or the 20 dollar consumers and on and on. You could also look at a no man's sky and say okay we captured initial consumers, but more consumers at the same price point exist with additional content. There's other examples of this too... into the breach had a huge free update. Rain World, same thing. Spiritfarer had a content update. I'm sure there's a lot more. No reason why Starfield couldn't do the same thing. I guess the cyberpunk update isn't free, although a lot of the qol stuff sounds like it is.

Yeah honestly I enjoyed the hell out of the game when it first came out, have played it through all over again with each huge update, and am looking forward to playing it through again when 2.0 hits tomorrow. I haven't played anything that gives me the same amazing vibes I get from cruising around Night City.

They're completely overhauling the character progression system bc it owned too much. People's heads kept bursting Scanners style at +0.25% crit chance when firing assault rifles from behind cover and it was becoming a liability for CDPR

I had no idea “Daytona” was a license that they had to renew or rename the game. I know the speedway is called Daytona, and the race is the Daytona 500, but it’s also just the name of the city

It's weird to have goons line up to defend CP2077 because even beyond the criminal state it released in technically, like 75% of the missions are the very definition of "dudes stand around in a room for the player to kill them" map clearing objectives that people decry in every other game.

Cyberpunk sucked, sucks, and might be ok with all this new content but Im definitely not buying the base game and the expansion to find out. I remember when they were flogging their steelbooks for 10 dollars, charge 20 total and I might consider it. Anyways lies of P seems fun but I just beat NG++ on Armored Core 6 so I don't know if I have energy for FROMlike/Soulslike gameplay atm. That party animals game is out today, gonna try it with some friends tonight to see if it's any fun. Seltzer fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Sep 20, 2023 |
