I like video games of many flavors, but for a non-exhaustive list:
Zelda
Metal Gear
Smash Bros.
Xenoblade
Mario
Banjo-Kazooie
Doom
Mega Man
Metroid
Halo
Many more
If it's Nintendo or Capcom, I probably think it's cool.
Casual anime fan.
Fighting games are interesting but I'm bad at them.

I think execs going "don't worry guys, we only used AI to come up with ideas for us" really gives the game away that they just don't get it
I don't want to play a game filled with regurgitated ideas that you couldn't be bothered to come up with

"It's just concept art, who cares if they use genAI and not actual artists?"
Look at this concept art for C-3P0 by Ralph McQuarrie.
It's the very thing that inspired Anthony Daniels to go for the role of Threepio and perform him as such.
It is the first heartbeat of the art that now exists.

anyway sorry but i am also not looking forward to the CEO stomping their foot down and changing nothing bc they only believe in money, and ppl just conveniently ignoring the game was made this way when it comes out "because it's so good though" which is also tremendous loser behaviour

the larian stuff sucks to hear a lot. you have to be a true all-timer loser to think generative AI is useful for concepting ideas or artwork. you let the machine do the fun part you dumbass. it doesnt tell me you think efficiently it tells me youre a fuckass who's given up on being interesting

I've yet to play Baldur's Gate 3, but I did get a code a long time ago for D:OS 2 and with the announcement of the Switch 2 version, I felt like I might carve out some time to try it out. But CEOs gotta screw things up for everyone. My interest is gone. There's no reason to tarnish this legacy.
NEW: I spoke to Larian boss Swen Vincke about their ambitions for their new RPG Divinity, cutting down development time, pressures from Baldur's Gate 3, why BG3 wouldn't have happened without Tencent, how Larian uses generative AI, and much more www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...
‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’
‘I think this one is going to be way better’ than ‘Baldur’s Gate 3,’ Larian CEO Vincke says

Larian seem to have a real weird way of following up the game that sold seventy billion copies largely on the backs of its extensive use of real actors, personal touches, and general humanity :/

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.
