You don’t want a new Halo game. You want to be 15 again. It’s the same reason Call of Duty “isn’t fun anymore”. It’s not really any different than it used to be. You’re just older now and there are a million of them. No MP FPS is gonna make you feel like a teenager again.

Okay, I just have to ask because my curiosity is killing me... but why does Linear Velocity need to go through an execution pin, but Angular Velocity doesn't? #UnrealEngine5

I think the problem with the video game community at large is that USian cishet incel white guys are emboldened by the political climate to believe they are the majority of "gamers" and that their voices are the ones that shape the industry and that every game needs to be made for them to enjoy.

I think it would be good for the world if GTA 6 bombs. I know it won't. I don't even think it will be bad. But I'm really grossed out by how much the AAA game industry seems to be hinging all their hopes on this megaproduction. This shit can't be sustainable.

"Secretly swapping out your baby with its own" is the most eloquent expression of why I'd never want this shit in my ideation. It'll just take your first idea, smooth it out into something more verbose and generic and tell you you're the cleverest in the world and where's the joy in that?

Being able to make a luxuriously budgeted game like Psychonaut 2 and then sneak it out the back door with you is honestly a pretty major coup

"if I refused to play every video game that uses a little AI, then I'll have to stop playing games altogether" first of all, incorrect second, this is what having principles and convictions is like. we all deserve entertainment, but if you're willing to give an inch now, they'll take everything.

........... it just occurred to me Is there gonna be a whole new generations of gamers who look at old N64 and PS1 games and get an uneasy feeling because they've grown up with that aesthetic being used mainly for horror games?

I don't play a lot of video games but I think about the downfall of the Dragon Age games a lot. And no, I don't think it was "wokeness" that did the game in per se, but rather a decrease in the willingness to write plots where ethical dilemmas were complicated and had no easy answers.
