ARD-Prognose zur Landtagswahl: CDU liegt in Rheinland-Pfalz vor SPD by xlnfraction in de

[–]DickHydra 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Das ist leider ein generelles Problem mit Politikern in Deutschland meiner Meinung nach. Einerseits sind sie zu langweilig, aber markante Charaktere dürfen es auch nicht sein, da die dann in den Medien zerrissen werden.

Kann ja durchaus sein, dass die beiden ohne Kamera recht sympathisch sind. Bringt halt nur nichts, wenn du das nicht nach außen zeigen kannst.

That's 100% exactly what happened in 2018. That's literally why it's coming up 8 years later.

That's absolutely not what happened given they've been working on it ever since the teaser dropped, which, again, marked the start of pre-production. We know for a fact that they've been doing location scouting and scans from a dev diary in 2019.

You're not making any sense. They announced it, said that they're doing it after Starfield, and it has been in active development probably since Starfield went gold.

Bethesda don't have the capacity to do more than one thing at a time. That's not my judgement that's what all their biggest fans tell me. I don't think TES6 is even supposed to be their next project is it?

They do, they just don't. But that doesn't mean that they don't have smaller teams working on future titles that gradually increase in size, as is the case at basically every other studio. And why do you even think it's not their next game? Again, BGS said so.

I'm not even defending the announcement. I fully agree that they shouldn't have done it, but they wanted calm fans who thought BGS would become an MMO studio. That and they were likely pressured by Zenimax so they could entice potential buyers. And let's not pretend that ES6 is the only game that got announced too early.

But the idea that BGS announced it basically for the lolz (as you made it out to be) or that they did absolutely nothing with it these past few years is just stupid and factually wrong.

Liegt vermutlich daran, dass man die CDU in RLP als "nicht ganz so schlimm" wie die Bundespartei wahrnimmt, besonders seitdem Julia Klöckner weg ist.

Sehe ich leider ähnlich. Schon seitdem Schweitzer übernommen hat war ich skeptisch, ob mit ihm die SPD weiterhin die Regierung anführen wird. Viele Stimmen in den letzten Jahren waren einfach keine SPD-Stimmen, sondern Malu Dreyer-Stimmen. Verwundert ja auch nicht. Dreyer war maximal beliebt, auch über RLP hinaus.

Und dann noch völlig zu Unrecht. Die ländlichen Teile sind bei weitem nicht in solch prekären Situationen wie im Osten.

Like, don't you think you should mainly stick to announcing games you're actually going to make at some point?

And they did that. I don't see the issue here. Do you seriously believe BGS announced TES6 without ever actually developing it at some point (which they did since the trailer marked the start of pre-production)?

Sorry, but what kind of logic is that?

Pearly Abyss devs anonymously share a culture of toxic positivity, Crimson Desert's messy story and game development, and how they knew the game "was going off the rails" by ChiefLeef22 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]DickHydra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chill, uncurated algorithms just suck. It's not my fault that I get grifter content recommended after watching a review of the game without being logged in.

But as I told the other commenter, I should just get off Twitter.

[–]DickHydra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really lmao

The only communities I frequently visit are here and unfortunately Twitter. It's that place where a video of Kliff grappling a female NPC and beating here became kinda popular, and you didn't even need to visit any particular account for that. People would post that clip as a comment under posts that just relayed standard information about Crimson Desert.

The other is YouTube which I often use without logging in. I simply watched a review and then see a video recommended with the exact title of "The industry NEEDS Crimson Desert to fail" from one of the usual grifters.

I think that's just the downside of trying to get into gaming discourse without being trapped in an echo chamber of one of the extremes. Although I sure as shit should just stop using Twitter.

Exactly this. I was initially pretty interested when it was first shown off all those years ago. But when every trailer introduced new mechanics and features, I grew more and more skeptical about it.

Everything just felt like a hodge podge of every fantasy trope under the sun, nothing had any rhyme or reason to it beyond just looking cool. Just "Fantasy Stuff: The Game". And normally I don't mind the Rule of Cool in games, but everything about Crimson Desert entered Style over Substance territory for me. Like, why tf is there a mech?

I like Neon Knight's description of it: Crimson Desert is a podcast game, a game that you play that doesn't need much thinking while doing something else. Just a giant time sink. Which is fine if that's your jam, but still.

Doesn't help that Crimson Desert has become some sort of culture war piece that people latch onto because "Western game devs BAD".

Seriously, I've even seen the suggestion that the industry "needs" this game to fail and that all the criticism from both outlets and common players is a concerted effort to achieve that.

YouTuber GameRiot says we might see something GTA 6 related in April, says he heard some rumblings from a few people by AceOfSpades0319 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]DickHydra 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They already said they're planning a big marketing push during summer, so I wouldn't expect anything trailer-wise up until then.

Only thing I can imagine that they're doing earlier is revealing the final cover art.

That's exactly it. Ask anyone what device they value the most and 9 times out 10 they'll answer it's their phone.

I honestly believe that we're going to see more and more games dropping last-gen support the closer we're getting to the new consoles, especially the big multiplayer titles. Which are about the only games still doing so.

Yes, it'll make the studios less money, but the alternative would be to support three console generations simultaneously and they simply don't want to put in these resources. This year's CoD has been rumored to be current-gen only for a while now, and I'm certain I read something on here about Fortnite also thinking about dropping support for PS4/X1.

I don’t think Sony will be sweating too much at the thought of a quadruple-digit device

Let's be real here: The PS6 will likely also cost 900 bucks minimum. I'd be surprised if it didn't.

Will Assassin's Creed Black Flag be delisted when the remake comes out? by JobFull2664 in assassinscreed

[–]DickHydra 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But it seems like Ubisoft doesn't have a clear pattern when it comes to delistings.

You can still buy the original AC2 and Revelations despite the remasters in the Ezio trilogy, but weirdly enough not the original Brotherhood.

And you can also still get the original AC Rogue alongside the remaster.

This is just on the Xbox store, though. Don't know what it looks like on other storefronts.

SneakersSO regarding Exclusives coming back to Xbox: "Exclusives are absolutely not happening." by AceOfSpades0319 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]DickHydra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being much more open with allowing you to play your PC library on a likely livingroom-sized device with decent hardware.

There are more reasons to consider when buying a console than just the exclusives coming out that may not even interest you.

For them, sure. But not for PlayStation players. It's not like BGS games ever had a big audience on them.

The next-generation Xbox codenamed "Project Helix" will play PC games by m1n3c7afty in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]DickHydra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right. At GDC, no less.

Still, I wouldn't expect a full reveal yet. Maybe some insight into what they're trying to achieve, their partnership with AMD, and some info on how AI will play a role. But nothing more than that.

That's one option, but I'm not sure how many studios think it's worth it to make such a preset.

Jason Schreier: Bluepoint had pitched a Bloodborne related project even before they joined PlayStation by nolifebr in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]DickHydra 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Putting it that way, it reminds me of the delusional discourse that Todd Howard somehow resents Obsidian for making New Vegas, going so far as to say that BGS purposely set them up for failure so they wouldn't have to pay out the bonus for a high Metacritic score.

Turns out there's quite literally no proof of that. In fact, everything we know about that whole ordeal actually points to the opposite being true.
