Dissidia is probably the best Final Fantasy game no one remembers anymore

Huge mobile games like this compete with each other fiercely. Part of that is being able to turn around updates, events, fixes and so on quickly. The business buzzword is Live Ops.

The problem is that it seems we always swing too much either way: it’s either puritanical “no sex allowed” or depraved “let’s sexualize everything!”.

If the universe itself isn’t eternal (as far as we can tell), then logically none of its constituent parts can be.

I wish you were right, but specially in big companies the hardworkers are forgotten while the absolutely useless asskissers get rewarded time and time again. So why put in even 100% if you can get by with 50% or less?

Typical politician talking about things people want but isn’t actually going to change.

The problem with games is that they are ruled by IP law, which was codified globally a few decades ago and is completely anti-consumer. Even if a country wanted to change them, it’s likely the US would crush them before that.

It needs to look as much of as a game as the others, that’s why they make a box for a code.

Which is a stupid reason but sales people are like this so.

This won’t come to PC and will most certainly have the most invasive anti cheat possible. Hard pass

To sell in physical stores so parents and other people can buy them as gifts.

People didn’t even shower daily a few hundred years ago. Hornyness makes anything possible.

That said healthy people don’t get that bad usually.

It definitely was unfinished, and felt like it, for most of its life. They just took forever to update stuff and lost the mindshare it had in the endless sea of survival crafting games. It’s been 5 years and they are finally finishing the last zone.

You are thinking of Dyson Sphere Program, which does look good and runs well at scale. Until you have a few star systems running dyson spheres, then your run is likely over.

Whether deserved or not Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy is always forgotten compared to its predecessor. But I don’t care, it’s the best one for me.

In the same vein The Force Unleashed II is the one I remember more fondly. It’s worse than the previous one certainly, but the story does have some nice moments and playing it on the hardest difficulty makes you actually have to block correctly and plan your movement right to survive the onslaught of fire by the stormtroopers.

That’s like arguing that people wouldn’t smoke or do drugs if they knew the effects it has.

So the headline is just hyperbole? What a weird editorial choice

I agree with you but then I see people calling themselves gacha gamers and hopping into every new gacha regardless of genre or gameplay so I just assumed I just didn’t get it.

I’m having a hard time understanding this piece. How is updating the system’s firmware causing bricked hardware? Is the new firmware purposefully useless?

The only reason I didn’t buy Marathon was because of the AC not working on linux. What a waste but at least I saved some money.

Auto-play mobile games not only already exist but are super popular.
