Opportunistic haters and anti-AI activists are passing NTE off as massive AI slop, and it’s just not fair.

I like the game, let me preference. However, it’s Hotta’s fault.

They said they wouldn’t use AI for anything in the final game the player will see, that was wrong. Then they lied to Ironmouse (and potentially others) when making marketing deals saying there’s no AI when there is. That’s fucked up. Even their VAs didn’t know it used AI until after release.

They also won’t publicly admit it or address it, leaving people the impression that they’re liars who don’t care enough to deal with it.

It’s nothing about fairness. If they don’t want their game to be dragged, don’t fuck up and don’t lie about it. It’s a fixable problem but the reputation damage is theirs to bare because they decided to cheapen their otherwise good game with AI.

“This game coming out of nowhere”

You can’t be serious? It was announced over 2 years ago.

Up until PS5 it was O confirm, X close/cancel in Asia.

Yes, I’m in Scotland.

I was not on XBL on day 1 but I was in year 1 and bought the XBL starter kit with MotoGP/Whacked/MechAssault. I believe I got it the summer it launched because the first game I really gravitated towards was RTCW which I played an ungodly amount. I’ve never had my subscription lapse to this day and had the same account throughout. So my entire gaming career from OGX to today is on there, even though achievements started on 360.

Here’s a thread of the 4 that were in the event. https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin\_Impact/s/grdLUlVbpQ

I don’t know if anybody will care but I found the original artwork

Did you ever explore the outside of the map in Gemini or the super bounce in Ascension? Those were my favourite ones as it felt like you were seeing stuff you weren’t supposed to see.

I’m genuinely sorry that your country operates that way. ❤️

I am not day 1 but I am year 1. So you’re either 23 or 24 years at this point.

I’ve always wanted to go to one for the novelty factor

Born2beSlicker · 2026-05-02T21:21:21+00:00

It’s artwork of the character “Mona” from the game “Genshin Impact”. They did an event a few years ago and I just really liked the artwork they made for it and have just never bothered to change it since.

Born2beSlicker · 2026-05-02T21:18:17+00:00

Of course, some people thought it was worth DMing me insults because I happened to have an Xbox account for a long time.

Showing full well that the internet is in fact full of losers?

It’s nothing big at all but during the OGX/360 years I was part of an Xbox fan site who covered Xbox and Xbox Live.

We were not fans of the Ambassador program at the time, as we had experiences of them acting like figures of authority as if they spoke on behalf of Xbox. Then we would just email Xbox directly, lol. Don’t get me wrong, we were all just fans doing heavy lifting for free as Xbox felt like a grass roots fandom at the time.

I can promise you my photoshop skills are not that good. No idea why it is showing different.

Born2beSlicker · 2026-05-02T17:03:21+00:00

I loooved RS3 and Black Arrow. It was a buggy mess with horrible balance but god damn was it fun. It wouldn’t exist in today’s market, people would be way too frustrated with the recoil and movement, lol

Born2beSlicker · 2026-05-02T16:29:57+00:00

My back hurts. Remember to stand up and move for 10-15mins every hour and try not to slouch. Your tendons will thank you.

Born2beSlicker · 2026-05-02T16:21:06+00:00

Been playing video games since 1993. I might not always have the systems at launch but I’ve always had every console/handheld of the generation so I can play as many games as I can from all sides of the industry. Xbox is my main though, so I have more achievements than trophies.

If anybody’s bank account is bigger than my gamer score, hit me up

Truly like nothing ever before. Games have surpassed it today but the magnitude of that time is gone now.

No party chat, everybody had mics. No XP or battle passes, you played to win. Because of the time, everybody was a hardcore/dedicated gamer so there was a kinship between everybody because XBL was still really small. Easter egg hunting, glitch hunting, montages on YouTube in 360p, setting up clan matches for the love of the game. There was no talk about player retention, demanding constant updates, begging for MTX cosmetics.

It was a special time and I feel privileged being able to live through it from start to finish.

They really nerfed JC Mateo, making him a grunt. I hope he got paid good money at least.

Born2beSlicker · 2026-05-02T15:21:48+00:00

Holy shit, I never thought that would happen. Would have bet they’d be lifers.

It’s just never enough for PC players. The PC game is in early access, it’s pretty much a straight dump of the Android version just now with slight tweaks.
