I think the gunplay is fun, it just goes for more of a “realism” approach.
Not saying it’s great, but it’s enjoyable and a good component in the context of how the entire game plays imo.
It’s not supposed to be snappy, it’s made to be kinda slow and almost purposely clunky. For me that’s always made the gun fights quite tense and punishing in a good way.
Isn’t this studio basically dead now?
I heard all the good devs left after Redfall was a trash live service game that they all hated working on.
I like how they only gave a passing mention to Redfall and then said “Finally, “DEATHLOOP” allowed us to explore time in a playful way”, when Deathloop actually came out before Redfall…
Seriously, don’t have any expectations from Arkane anymore, it’s not the same studio that made Dishonored or Prey.
From what I’ve seen and heard it’s an okay game, just seems like it could be so much more.
Ubisoft is basically a franchise at this point, so companies with IPs can give them to Ubisoft and they’ll make it fit their game formula.
Problem is, even though they might try and tweak it occasionally, that formula is now 12 years old.
If it were the original guy bringing it back then it would be worth talking about, but this whole thing is just a massive nothingburger.
Just some crypto bros who picked up the name for clicks, there is no actual story.
Annapurna claims they didn’t have enough time to collect developer contact information to alert them sooner
I mean, that’s just utter BS. In two weeks you couldn’t find a phone number or email address for your customers??
Sounds like a shit show of a company and the previous employees made the right move.

Now that GPU companies and developers seem to be giving some focus to Linux, I don’t know what Microsoft can do.
Windows is bloated to shit and that’s how Microsoft seemingly wants it. Unless they start to offer a stripped down release then I don’t see how it could compete with a Linux based OS going forward. (For handheld consoles).
Never actually seen WoW referred to as Microsoft’s before.
I did know it was a subsidiary of a subsidiary, just feels odd to see it referred to this way, and not as Blizzard’s.

Wait…
Wrong.
Yeah, but most played games ever puts them in the bracket with COD, FIFA and mobile games. Not exactly esteemed company…
Like what you like, but those games are essentially the McDonald’s of the video game landscape. They’re fun and have mass appeal.
Personally, I went into Starfield very open minded and not expecting too much, but was still very disappointed.
There really is something about Starfield that makes it so fun to hate. I usually just ignore stuff I don’t like, but really do make an exception for this game.
I think it’s the way that people circlejerked the shit out of it on release and disregarded any criticism, so the vindication that it was ultimately a lifeless husk of a game was so satisfying.
I’ve signed it, looking forward to the nonchalant dismissive response from the government.
Isn’t Wizards of the Coast scummy af?
Larian are the studio with integrity, why wouldn’t Wizards of the Coast go for the cash grab?
Meanwhile, other games just pick 5 basic templates then make 200 side quests based off those.
I do not understand how people can still play assassin’s creed.
Yeah, too many “journalists” chuck around the term review bombed to mean when a AAA game gets a load of (deserved) hate.
Also from the source:
To sustain our ongoing development efforts, about half of Signal’s overall operating budget goes towards recruiting, compensating, and retaining the people who build and care for Signal. When benefits, HR services, taxes, recruiting, and salaries are included, this translates to around $19 million dollars per year.
But they add so much value to the supply chain for an item, you gotta feel sorry for these poor parasites 😢
Yeah, Lemmy loves to talk about how this won’t work and they’ve moved to Plex, but overall it’s been working great for Netflix.
Eventually the bubble will burst and people will start to drop Netflix, but that’s a way off.
