So it begins.
Didn’t mean any offence - just felt like putting it out there
Kind of a pet peeve, but it’s not underrated - it’s appropriately rated by those who’ve played the game. It’s just not as well-known as its contemporaries because point-and-click games, by their very nature, don’t get as much traction as other genres
I’ll be honest, I actually hadn’t thought about that before - good point
Right, forgot about those
Right, forgot about those
It’s the closest to having a “trigger warning” tag, which doesn’t exist afaik. NSFW, NSFL
Even though I’m a vegan and I’d prefer not to see displays of dead animals, I’m not as sensitive to seeing this. Others might be. No harm in adding an NSFW tag in my books
Edit: Guess I’ll just go fuck myself for stating an opinion
Of course DOOM survived. How am I not surprised?
Recently finished my first playthrough of Dragon’s Dogma 2 and started a new one playing Rogue this time. Lots of fun and reminds me of old-school RPGs similar to Fable
This is like playing a 3D jump ‘n’ run at Bubsy 3D’s house

Weren’t the guys involved in the submarine story a while back billionaires too?
I mean, the market for live-service games is absolutely oversatured as is. Live-service hero shooters are also dime a dozen (Overwatch, Paladins, Apex Legends etc) and have their dedicated niches. When an entirely new IP tries to enter when other established IPs may be struggling already, what did Sony expect?
I find it silly that every game nowadays needs to have some form live-service component. Just release a game and let it be. Why change and patch it a hundred times if you can just release a solid package one time and reap your benefits?
Like, compare Diablo 2 Resurrected (display name and profile pic definitely not related) to Diablo 4. They put out patches semi-regularly for D2 and it’s brilliant. The game is 20+ years old and blows D4 out of the water by a huge margin (might be a little biased). D4 had a biblical start and is easily Blizzard’s fastest-selling game at release, but look at it now. They’ve made efforts to make the game better with adjustments and patches, and the new add-on might even be ok, but I don’t think they’ll be getting back their momentum any time soon
Right
For sure, yes. I’m not arguing that AI has its uses. The main thing I was discussing with my friend was that the way AI is used commercially right now is damaging to a lot of industries, that it’s a trend being used by companies to make their products looks better than they are, and that they profit off other peoples’ work. AI is a tool, yes, but what I was so adamant about was that there should be regulations and policies that make clear what is and where it’s ok to use and what isn’t
Both ideally. But I get your point
I think the main difference is intent, inspiration, and feelings portrayed through art. AI may be able to replicate a certain style or use a motif, but the three aspects I mentioned are absent with an AI. It is, indeed, difficult to put into words what you mean - I’ll give you that.
