I’ll be honest, I think Bethesda is too big. They hired too many employees for the studio to handle.

Most AAA studios have too many people. It gets to a point where these huge teams take too long to make something because they cannot be as flexible as game development requires with so many people.

That they held onto so many people for this long is pretty impressive, actually. I thought certainly it would have happened sooner.

Morrowind was made by less than 75 people (including the voice actors) and was an absolute banger. Starfield came out and, while I like parts of it, it is nowhere near Morrowind and how many people worked on Starfield? Way more than the <75 of the Morrowind team, that’s for sure.

I think the marketing did this game a great disservice. It promised something the game was not, and the developers had to alter their plans to match the marketing. This ended up with a very rough launch, but the recent patches have really helped pick the game up.

I find it is still more limited than even something like Starfield, as far as limited choices effecting the game go, and while I would have preferred the greater freedom Starfield presents (to that games own detriment sometimes), Cyberpunk 2077 is still an enjoyable experience for what it is.

Just make sure to fully spell out the name instead of abbreviating it. Bit of an unfortunate situation with that, unless you call it C77.

I mean, Gabe is right mostly. But piracy sometimes is just a pricing issue. In a lot of poor countries piracy is more common because they cannot afford games at $59.99 USD.

Gabe couldn’t really have predicted games would get where they are today, with publishers trying to normalize $70 and $80 for the basic incomplete versions in a global economy spiraling the drain, so holding his statement to today’s standards isn’t very fair. He’s right, but things have become much more dire than he likely imagined.

Shame its delayed. Not sure how I feel about the maps being changed like that, they were already fine in the original PSP release and the remaster on other consoles later on. Interested to see more details.

More than $6815.18, because my account is older than 2015 and purchases only go back to 2015.

But in reality, I will just reacquire the games if my library gets taken. Barnes & Noble isn’t breaking into my home to take books out of my bookshelf, it is not unreasonable to demand digital products are treated the same. So I treat them the same, regardless of what moron politicians say.

Nintendo wasn’t always like that. Every Nintendo console before the GameCube was the most powerful console of its generation. The GameCube was second most powerful behind Xbox but ahead of PS2. But like the N64, Nintendo made the GameCube with a fatal flaw that caused a severe limitation that was completely unnecessary: the game storage media.

For the N64, it was the choice to not use disks and thus were limited to only 64MB at most of game filesize, but the GameCube had disks. Except they were those stupid tiny ones that only held like 1.5GB instead of a normal sized disks at the time which held up to 8GB.

Then they made the Wii, which was just the GameCube 1.5, used nearly the same parts except it used normal disks finally and it sold like crazy. Unfortunately, Nintendo learned the wrong lesson and instead of saying “make normal consoles” they now learned to “make weak, cheap consoles.” And now we are at where we are.

(Free) Most: Super Mecha Champions, which was a free battle royale game on Steam that was a port of a mobile game. Best FREE.99 I ever spent, was such a fun game until servers closed.

(Paid) Most: The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. Literally peak game. It got me into modding and software development, and I still play it to this day. Best $59.99 I ever spent ($59.99 brand new for the 1.0 gold cart in 1998)

Worst: Need for Speed Unbound. Worst $4.99 I ever spent, I turned the game off after the characters in the game couldn’t stop yapping in my ear about “police and politicans oppressing street racers.” Also the driving physics suck because of course they do, Criterion made it.

Can we just have a Turok like the first game, where we play an awesome time travelling Native American that hunts normal dinosaurs and maybe some aliens barely at the end? Is this too much to ask?

How is this game? It looks interesting, but I don’t know if I should get it now or wait and hope another sale at a lower price comes around?

Direct effects of price reduction from $20 to $5. More at 11.

No, because the only Rockstar game I have ever bought was Smuggler’s Run Warzone.

Maybe if another one came out, I’d buy that.

Wait until they hear what Quake, DOOM, Marathon, Half-Life, etc were doing in the 90s…

Pretty sure Nintendo is specifically trying to prevent you from being able to pay less like this.

This is why Steam has a “monopoly” by technicality. Steam doesn’t do anything to the competition, the competition just keeps making an objectively worse platform so bad that they end up killing themselves. Steam shouldn’t have to be accountable for that, its not Gabe’s fault the other CEOs are stupid.

SM is obviously Square Miles.

Though more likely, “Standard Meter” was the intention, after the SM^3, Standard Cubic Meter.

Roach is powered by “Horse Heart” but Epona isn’t even powered by carrots. Whoever made this knows nothing.

The Silt Strider is not a vehicle, it is an animal. Actually, there are a lot of animals in this.

Looks like Dark Cloud or something like Skies of Arcadia to me.

Its a separate game. I have both CS GO and CS2 in my library as separate entries. You have to manually re-add CS GO because it was added as a new entry when CS2 replaced it though.

Jason Jones probably the only person that worked on original Marathon that is still connected to the company.
