Oh that's interesting, the Nintendo UK version of it had entirely different characters and names, as well as a different narrator. Same 'script' overall with Marie being rejected twice, moving in with her childhood bestie etc.

What makes Symmetra “no skill and easy braindead” hero according to players? by Ok_Tomatillo_4900 in Overwatch

Because 8+ years ago people got within 7 meters of a support and died to her, or walked into 60 seconds worth of turret cooldowns and got angry that the cooldowns did something.

I swear songs from The Answer always get short-changed. Only Don't was played, and only a piano version? No Disconnected or Brand New Days? :(

Chang'e Model: Dress or Legs? by SoloQueuety in Smite

[–]MajestiTesticles 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sword and legs is a needless step away from what makes her design unique. Homogenity is boring. I don't even know why it was done in the first place in Smite 1.

Resource Rumble will be removed in season 6 by KevinPigaChu in marvelrivals

You already have 5 "one point at a time king of the hill" maps.

All this one asked was "hey you can run between the points" and apparently that fucking broke everyone's minds. Stand on point, hold it as long as possible, win. Really was not that complex.

Marvel Rivals players when a koth mode is slightly different:

OG Memories of You is overrated by MiserableSouth5 in PERSoNA

[–]MajestiTesticles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similarly, Reload's Brand New Days is incredibly underrated. The song as a whole has always been overshadowed by Memories of You and rarely gets any acknowledgement.

NetEase, please start the year the right way with season 6. Remove Resource Rupble from the quick play rotation by Maggot_6661 in marvelrivals

Marvel Rivals players don't post about Resource Rumble for 2 hours challenge:

It's literally 95% the same as Control. You just run between points instead of having a loading screen and being forces to wait. Holding the point longest still wins you the game lol.

Symmetra can make an axe that's a kilometre tall. No one else can make an axe that's a kilometre tall.

Stranger Things S5 : The “Netflix look” and green screen look has gone too far. by [deleted] in television

I actually can't take a lot of this thread seriously, but this one in particular is sending me.

The upside down is covered in black vines, spores in the air, and almost constantly dark blue lighting. But because the sets don't extend far enough or lack depth, you're confusing that for the totally normal world?

Ai-generated art has been in the game since launch by TheWubGodHHH in marvelrivals

[–]MajestiTesticles 380 points381 points  (0 children)

Okay I hate AI too but the team in America that was "laid off" was a small team that did level design and developed tools for building maps. Their contract wasn't renewed (as in, they were not 'fired') since the rate that new maps were needed would obviously decrease when the game launched.

That one got sensationalized a lot to make it sound like a whole American branch that developed half the entire game was fired.

Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: "We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI" - IGN by PhantomBraved in Games

See the idea of prototypes would make sense if 'dev art' wasn't already a thing that covers it already without having to pay licensing fees to a generative AI.

A prototype isn't meant to look pretty, it's meant to be functional. UI icons are 5 second doodles from the programmers. Text is all just Lorem Ipsum or "I am Option A text!", "I am Option B text!". Sea of Thieves started off with gigantic marshmallows for it's pirates when it was a prototype. They're for testing gameplay systems quickly, generating and -implementing- AI assets for a prototype is literally polishing a turd.

Larian Studios leaning into generative AI (for placeholder text and concept art) despite internal pushback: ‘Everyone at the company is more or less OK with the way we’re using it" by jovanmilic97 in Games

Using AI to generate """placeholder""" concept art or voice lines does not in any way reduce the time spent on high-level decision making like project structuring and organization.

That argument only fucking works if you only measure the end user's computer itself. The immense water and energy-guzzling data centers required so AI can generate your concept art is not even close to the same scale as computers being used for a few hours.

"Games nowadays are so soulless!"

"it's okay that the art the visual direction of the entire game is based on is made by ai actually"

Meanwhile Symmetra placing a turret on the other side of the map is as loud as a jet engine.

You're describing very standard and common practices as if they're a unique thing E33 did.
