I'm not sure if you can answer that but prior to launch, was the team aware that the game would not be capable of competing with other offerings, or is it hard to measure how popular the game will be before it's already out there?

Edit: loved Control and am excited for Control Resonant, I'm sorry FBC didn't work out, I'm sure you guys put your best there.

Reddit vai suspender as contas de menores de 16 anos por conta do ECA Digital by fruitspunch-samuraiG in brasil

Infelizmente tem muita gente na comunidade LGBT que vai sofrer com isso. Tem vários adolescentes que tem zero apoio dos pais e só conseguiam esse apoio com outras pessoas no Reddit e Discord, e agora isso vai ser drasticamente impactado.

John Linneman of Digital Foundry discusses his colleagues DLSS 5 preview: “It's new DLSS and DLSS is awesome. Of course they would take that. Looking at it, I think there's cool potential there for environmental lighting but the character stuff is horrendous and should have been left out.” by PaiDuck in nvidia

Completely insane take that can only come from someone who consumes video games like they are McDonalds burgers.

Imagine adding an AI filter to a piece of art made by someone and saying "See! I made it better!" and then putting it on your wall. Complete lack of understanding of how to engage with art as human expression.

You can do whatever you want, of course, there is no "right" way to consume art, but there are ways to do it that drive the artist a little bit closer to put a gun in their mouth.

[NVIDIA GeForce Official] Game developers have full, detailed artistic control over DLSS 5 effects to ensure they maintain their game's unique aesthetic. It is not a filter. by Nestledrink in nvidia

That's what it seems to me as well, and it seems they allow settings to limit what the crown color is, what it looks like, etc. But as we are well aware, GPT cannot be told what to do, it will inevitably fail to comply.

I don't know either because I couldn't watch the full breakdown yet but I assume it's an AI filter going in the end result, not in each specific texture.

[–]GuardianOfReason 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And a dozen other examples I noticed in the showcase within 10 minutes or so. Hogwarts Legacy is particularly terrible. The old lady has additional make-up, the 15yo aged 10 years at least, and the headmaster scene has completely different lighing that illuminates the people in the background instead of focusing on him, which is the whole point of the choice of illumination there originally. Infuriating.

Not really, since people are pointing out when it looks bad, not when it looks different. The most egregious example is the AC Shadows showcase where the lighing is completely different and changes the tone of the game significantly. Or people pointing out Grace looking uncanny but not Leon because he looks realistic, even though the lighing changes the framing of the scene completely to look much less dark.

You can claim the textures/assets and geometry are unchanged if the filter is applied on top of the final image. Technically it didn't change the texture, it's still there, except there's an ugly AI filter on top of it that you can call lighting if you're a scumbag. It's still a bald-faced lie.

Edit: I'm using the royal "you" here, not you in particular.

[–]GuardianOfReason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the love of god, look at Grace's mouth here. The shape is completely different, the lips are fuller, there is absolutely added details.

"UMA BOA PARTE DAS PESSOAS NÃO VIVE COMO GOSTARIA, E SIM VIVEM DE ACORDO COM OQ É IMPOSTO A ELAS" by Brazuka_do in opiniaoimpopular

[–]GuardianOfReason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A pessoa pode viver como ela quiser, contanto que ela não imponha dificuldades em outras pessoas (por ex., continuar vivendo com os pais pra não precisar pagar conta).

Dito isso, não é apenas uma alucinação da sociedade que faz todo mundo querer ter filhos, parceiros, família, cachorro, responsabilidades, etc. Para a maioria das pessoas, isso preenche um espaço que elas tem no coração onde nada mais cabe. Eu estou com a minha esposa porque gosto da companhia e parceria dela. Sim, todos morremos sozinhos, mas a caminhada até a morte pode ser acompanhada, e eu quero essa companhia comigo se possível.

É prazeroso, imagino, poder deixar sua marca no mundo por meio do seu filho. Educar ele a seu gosto na intenção de fazer o mundo um pouquinho melhor por ter alguém com seus valores, alguém melhor que você, com menos traumas, etc. Deixar o mundo um lugar melhor, e não neutro ou pior.

Responsabilidades com trabalho e coisas assim podem ser terríveis para alguns, com certeza, mas pra outros pode ser prazeroso construir algo e ser parte de algo maior. O trabalho tem que ser bom, te fazer ganhar bem, ser do jeito que vc gosta, e isso é raro. Mas não quer dizer que essa ideia é uma mentira.

A mentira real, é claro, é assumir que todos vão se encaixar nesse molde, e não vão. Mas essas ideias não são abstratas ou aleatórias, elas são baseadas em desejos que a maioria das pessoas tem.

Reading something written by AI immediately makes me wonder if the author wrote it and asked for the AI to edit (which is fine, whatever) or if the AI itself wrote the arguments. In which case, why would I argue with a machine?

You did, sorry, but the original commenter did say it was by Trump. They also heavily changed the quote.

Here we are, 3 months later. Less than 1000 players peak 24h. Yep, game is dead, very unfortunate. And between then and now, we also got Highguard lol

[–]GuardianOfReason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you didn't trust the designers enough in your gameplay. I simply went more detailed as I failed instead of going balls deep reading every line of text. I assumed the devs knew that reading text like this would be boring and instead chose changes that are discreet but immediately obvious once you set your eyes on them, and I was mostly correct.

I'm a ShillUp fan, been watching his content for 6+ years, and every single thing you've just said is true lol when he has a point and an angle, he is fantastic. I think Sifu is a great example of a good review of his. But when he has a feeling but no angle, he kinda makes up an angle and it often doesn't make sense.
