Gaming, Photography, uh idk what else.
At the height of GoT popularity, I was reading the books so I could get ahead of the story. When I would get to events like the Red Wedding, I was thinking "I wonder what that looks like on the show" and it was way worse than I had in my head. I think the anticipation does more than the actual thing

So if I don't access it via big picture it won't detect my controller? Cool, I'll try it again in BP mode. :)

It feels correct. But is it controller supportable? Trying to play on steam and it won't register my controller. Happy to be MnK but still. I think my biggest difficulty is vision. Sometimes I can't tell when I'm about to be hit.

I just finished Yakuza 1 and I'm going to start 2 after a break. All I know is somewhere in Yakuza it involves secret koreans. But I'm not going to verify what or when that happens. Like unless you're playing something tomorrow. I don't think it matters that much.

To be clear I'm not in favour of games releasing in bad states. I'm just saying, buying a game at launch and playing it 6months to a year later can be different. It's a very different space to shipping a game and having it be "done" regardless of something like balance or stability.

THAT DOESNT MAKE IT OK. THIS IS ALL A COMMENTARY ON HOW GAMES GET RELEASED NOW AND CAN BE UPDATED TO MAKE EXPERIENCES AT LAUNCH DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT. SEE NO MANS SKY. WHICH ALSO ISNT OK BUT IT IS A STORY OF HOW A GAME CAN CHANGE FOR THE POSITIVE.

If we take Stardew Valley for example - that game is complete. But ConcernedApe just wants to add stuff because he wants to improve his vision of the game. He's obviously not Owlcat and could walk away whenever. But that's a 2016 game, that's still getting QoL shit.

Broken things. But patches are just an inevitable part of the modern gaming landscape. EU4 released in a half-baked state because you can do that now vs back in the day when speedy patches were infrequent.

Yeah but that's now in the modern era. Pre day 1 patches we were playing busted ass games for years. Patches are part of the hype cycle for a game. Look at MonHunWilds or Rogue Trader (Which literally had a patch 2 weeks ago) to drive up hype for Dark Heresy. I agree devs should patch broken (cont.)

I'm still on your side on this FYI. I was in the last part of Act 4 of Rogue Trader when the patch dropped and I was like "My save better not break, and my shit better be mostly unaffected to the end"

Realistically, shouldn't gamedevs be patching games to make them more pleasant? Compared to a movie which has to release a director's cut - but then eventually changes the vision of a film? Not that a gamedev has to explain themselves.

I can't tell if this is facetious or not. But like, is it just street cred? Because realistically there's no achievement that says "I beat the game before they patched it" lol

I tolerated the ubi launcher to play Watch Dogs 2. Or when I played Siege. I guess from a gameplay perspective it's not as intense as Workers & Resources is it?

Is Anno like... good? I see 1800 on sale regularly. But I can't tell if people are mad because you have to use an ubi launcher. Or it's unstable.

I think they're really neat. My aunt is the perfect target for these. There's definitely been less calls of "Hey, can you fix my phone?" Over the last 5+ years.

I have Pillars 2 sitting in my backlog. Is the turn based mode in POE2 that bad?

Is this a game you're working on? I saw other posts and this really looks like my jam.

Is the dialogue actually berating you or are you just mad at your princes? lol. Because you just know that your parents and their parents and their parents just couldn't accept failure lol.

Love it - I was very confused for a moment when it wasn't on deathgenerator. Forgot it was it's own domain.

Specially when any joe blow can go catch a 2-3hr movie and write about it vs a game which may be 16-20hrs of time. The time investment on top of the opportunity cost of gaming? jeez.
