KakerMix posted:It's the drive for profit that is destroying everything we all liked about everything before. It's never the technology or culture shift or kids today or the guy with darker skin, it is ALWAYS about profits. This is how I've felt about the whole, "AI Bad" argument. That it'll eventually replace workers isn't an argument against AI, that's an argument for an entirely new concept of what money / income / wealth even is

People can both want an new system of money/income/livelihood or lack thereoff and also not want the current tech trend to eliminate that for folks that need it in our current system. Until we have the former we're never going to have that chat about AI's (or whatever tech) actual place is in society. We can both fight towards that better future and also fight against tech being pushed primarily for profit. Marking all that as people just saying "AI bad" is just lovely.

Owl Inspector posted:Nope, you’ve already played them. I enjoyed 4 having not played any of the games in a few years, but 5 was so similar to it that I didn’t get very far before losing interest. there’s nothing wrong with them, graphics are 30% better than the previous game etc but you know exactly what you’re getting. 5 had some bits where you have to only use one character for awhile which made you think a bit differently but there’s nothing there that feels very new. Honestly, I'm fine with this. Trine isn't a series that really needs much shaking up, as long as it keeps up the fairy-tale storybook universe, and the doofy 2.5d physics platforming to co-op around with.

Well you see they’re only feeding the stolen stuff into the algorithm, they’re not profiting off other people’s work directly so it’s okay! An actual argument they’re trying to use, somehow.

Mordja posted:Oh hey, Graven's out. I did like the demo quite a lot, possibly more than most, curious to see if they stuck the landing. Especially with...everything going on at 3DR. I was quite excited as well, but reviews I've been watching make it seem pretty shaky, so maybe you should wait. There are some bizarre design decisions like: 1) stamina existing for a world where you're going to be backtracking and climbing for long lengths, stopping so many times to catch your breath as it slowly recharges 2) no map, terribly vague journal notes, no fast travel, and a huge lack of direction for such a large and complex metroidvania world 3) weapon quickslots being incredibly limited for no reason (big weapons take up multiple slots?) since inventory pauses the game so it just makes switching weapons tedious and annoying 4) potential softlocks as the world doesn't save state properly (for example, a door that was opened by a lever will be closed, but the lever will remain frozen in activated state, on load/reset) 5) dumb enemy AI and glitchy unfinished animations 5) and the biggest and craziest one being that, despite having checkpoints, quitting the game and loading your file will always put you back at the hub, creating huge amounts of backtracking. Like, imagine having to start at Firelink Shrine everytime you loaded your Dark Souls game. Hopefully some of these can get patched: game seems like it has a lot of potential, but man, felt like they were really confused on how to put everything together.

I remember that at one time Graven had this bug where if you quit the game and reloaded you would be stuck in a void unable to do anything. It took them multiple months to fix a game breaking bug. It really killed any hope I had for this game.

Rebel Blob posted:A Stargate game was just released today, with zero publicity or fanfare, Stargate: Timekeepers. It might be a move of desperation, as they are selling the full game but are only delivering the first half now. It looks like a Shadow Tactics/Desperadoes III clone, which is pretty grim just after the dissolution of Mimimi. If you have any interest, there is a demo available. Watched a dev streaming it and it looked like the worst kind of stealth gameplay. Oops you stepped wrong, you instantly lose, restart from the last save. Though TBH I don't like stealth games at all.

Jack Trades posted:Final Fantasy 7 Remake you know what actually yeah Everything about Don Corneo disturbs the hell out of me, the guy is a serial killer who preys on underprivileged girls he lures to his mansion, but because the tone of the original Wall Market was very goofy the remake, being faithful to the original, is also goofy and lighthearted around here. It always bothered me how the depths of his monstrosity aren't treated with the gravity I think would be appropriate, and people around him just try not to think too hard about what happens to the trafficked girls who don't come home.
