There is, unsurprisingly, a Black Mirror episode about this.

"★★☆☆☆ Not a meaningful encounter"

And its certainly not the developers who are getting all that extra money.

Ah, the olde "fuck me up for life" trifecta.

Ah, the classic reddit "you disagree with me you must be a troll/bot/karma farming"

Oh man I loved that game as a teen but I had to give up somewhere near the end cuz I was in a sneaking section that I tried for hours but kept failing. I ended up dropping the game and just reading the story online. Up until then, it was a really fun game though.

The worst i hear is its games tend to be kinda unoptimized, but how much of that is the devs not being given enough time to optimize the game before release and how much is just the engine being bad idk. I used UE4 a lot and it was pretty smooth sailing for the most part, but maybe 5 got worse in some aspects.

The best (only good?) part of Thief 2014 was the asylum level. The devs should have just made a horror game from start to finish instead of the watered down Dishonored that we got.

I remember the leaked(?) gameplay a while ago showing how it was very action heavy clearly inspired by the God of War reboot. But then BG3 happened and I would feel really bad for the devs if they were told by management to pivot and just copy another game instead and now theyre remaking the game yet again... I honestly have no faith in the gameplay being anything near as good as Origins, but hopefully the story and world and characters can be good? Do good writers still work at Bioware anymore?

Only when the machine stops can we finally take it apart and fix all its problems. (I dont entirely know what this means I just wanted to say something profound-sounding)

Im assuming the base paid version will still have battlepasses and lootboxes.

Its a good way to combat scalpers and gives ordinary people at least a chance to buy it without spam refreshing a website only for bots to grab everything anyway.

Disclosure: i havent played in a few months so some of these might be out of date.

My biggest complaint was it almost always just devolved into sneaking into buildings to get employee data of the suspect which leads you to a fingerprint. There was no deduction through questioning the suspect, figuring out a motive and then tying it all together. Just find the name of the suspect, then find the fingerprints (by sneaking into buildings) of every single individual they had contact with until you find a match. I felt more like a vigilante thief than a detective. I guess LA Noire (i know, one is rockstar's baby and the other's an indie title, but still) remains the best detective game for now.

I swear this was the plot of a Dan Brown novel.

Precisely this. If Baldur's Gate 3 was 100$, I still would have bought it in a heartbeat because I know that the developers are never gonna ask for any more of my money.

The Wheel weaves as the Wheel wills.

I played rdr2 on a 1060 3gb before I upgraded my card. I had to turn pretty much everything down to low except for texture quality, keep that high or at least medium cuz anything lower and it straight up becomes a ps2 game. Was able to get around 50 fps most of the time, up to 60 indoors and 30-40 in saint denis. Your 4gb card should get better performance than that due to higher vram tho.

Even if we were, way too many people don't actually "believe" in what they claim enough to actually vote for it.

You can't just say "perchance."

I thought this was about the human species being cooked.

Damn, what provider? Im paying 3000yen for 4gb with no calls included.
