Internet Kraken posted:Nobody in Overwatch is ugly. Everyone has a design meant to cater to a specific demographic in terms of their physical appearance. At least that's how I felt looking at the base cast. Dunno if Blizzard added more unconventional characters in terms of appearance down the line but I doubt it. This is the company felt the need to make the mutated master of evil space bugs sexy. You're very picky, but Moira is a type you don't see too often either. I'd love a legit porker of a woman in OW though. I'm sure they'll get there.

I bought Destiny 2 for $12. I also bought an Overwatch skin for $15. I'm pretty pleased with both purchases.

DisDisDis posted:I'm really tempted by cheap D2 because I haven't enjoyed a singleplayer/pve fps in years and Destiny at least has lots of non hitscan enemies and I love the Halo campaigns but man, so much about it seems so incredibly lovely So like I'm not a picky gamer, but I also don't love every game I try out either. I didn't play Destiny 1 at all. I've played Destiny 2 solo now up through level 7. It feels very Halo. I like the hub worlds where enemies just spawn periodically and other players are milling about and you can just shoot poo poo. The story is fine. It's all pretty chill and fun. It's definitely gonna get stale in another 10 hours. I don't give a poo poo about the cosmetic stuff that's all microtransactiony but I get it if people are. I dunno, it's fun. It's whatever. I paid $12. That's an insane level of content and quality for that price. It's a very chill shooting game. It's not near as good of gameplay as Titanfall 2, but nothing really is. It's good. It's fine.

Viewtiful Jew posted:https://twitter.com/ron_lajoie/status/996085567120175105 I've been through 3 studio closures. Generally speaking, when a studio is in immediate danger, management is fighting for a deal to extend the runway long or short term. Making payroll and continuing production become primary short term goals. It is a sad dance, this, because in order to make payroll and ensure survival you're either looking to investors/publishers for a long term contract, funding injection, or a short term bridge funding loan to help the company limp along while a long term deal is negotiated. In order for any of this to be successful, you need to have employees present and you need to be able to show investors that you are making progress. This means that the easiest way (if lamest) to do this is to not tell your employees specifically how close you are to the edge. "We're hoping for good news in the next couple weeks." That kind of stuff. If a CEO came out and was like "we'll be bankrupt in a month, FYI" then everyone jumps ship and then the company has 0% chance instead of 10% or whatever. It's easy to sit here and go "Well duh BossKey shut down durr" but based on my experiences and what I know re Cliffyb's network, I bet he's had a dozen deals to fund the company at least in the past month form and fizzle on him. Every one contingent on keeping a workforce present. No one wants to fund an empty company. I suspect this was the ACTUAL purpose of Radical Heights. I'm sure they would've been overjoyed if it had suddenly gone viral but I'm pretty confident that they released it as bait to investors more than as a money making product. "We made Lawbreakers, which was good but bad luck/timing, and look we just launched only 3rd to market in the biggest genre worldwide." It was a portfolio piece to enhance how they looked. Now, as an employee, none of this is your problem. That is, you shouldn't ever feel compelled to stay with an employer who has tipped the symbiotic employment arrangement. Without knowing anything of what went on behind their doors, I can say that I would've started job hunting as soon as Lawbreakers' numbers looked like they weren't gonna bounce. I'm confident that that character artist up there was actively looking for new work, but there aren't a ton of employers in that area, which is good for BossKey, but not great for people looking for life rafts. Edit: For a game produced in the middle of a death spiral, I'm impressed that Radical Heights is as good as it is, frankly. That's pretty impressive. mutata fucked around with this message at 02:34 on May 15, 2018 |

Well, only in that it's harder to find open mid-to-upper management positions on short notice, yeah. I forgot, the other option is, of course, trying to get acquired/bought. Those deals usually require even more secrecy for legal and other reasons though.

Well, he's not wrong about that. Most devs I know talk openly about how they make games (1) for themselves and (2) for the silent group that they hope are the majority.

Wasn't Powerstone on the dreamcast? Anyway Ecco The Dolphin's Pro Dolphin Flipper 2 was on there too, so dreamcast wins.

Is that a real quote? Because that's awesome. I mean, Japan has plenty of its own hang ups but that's a good quote.
