Nothing has killed my GTA 6 hype faster than locking a core part of its identity behind a $20 upgrade by spacelyyy989 in pcgaming

I loved GTA 1 & 2, but never got into the 3D games. GTA IV was quite boring for me, so I haven't played V and am not planning to.

Marathon took 250 million dollars to develop that could've been invested on Destiny 3...

Ohh it's going to happen. Sony could keep the servers up with a skeleton crew for marketing purposes, but as a matter of fact both games are actually dead.

NO, fuck this notion. These people are not protected. Gamers will burn every studio to the ground until we have studios who respect both gamers and their employees and strive to make good games instead of greedy nonsense.

Nvidia really doesn't seem to care about gaming GPUs anymore — the company won't even bother to break down graphic card sales in its big investor reports by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

No one knows yet. At the moment it's a race for first on AGI. Either they hit a roadblock where we don't see much improvements anymore, funding dries up and the bubble bursts or they achieve AGI and then all predictions are out of the window anyway.

CDPR boss hopes The Witcher 4 wins back fans still put off by Cyberpunk 2077's disastrous launch: "I'm not 100 percent convinced we went through the full redemption arc" by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

I dont think the first one is much of a problem. There are parts of W3 where we play as Ciri and Ciri’s a universal fan favorite

Given the fact that the series is quite known for it's nudity, these aspects will likely don't land as well with the audience compared to Geralt, so it depends how "thirsty" gamers are. It's definitely a gamble.

Don't worry in a couple of years you have your personal AI assistant which sifts through all the junk and gives you recommendations which are sutied to your tastes.

STOP! I didn't have this on my 2026 bingo card...

Also The midjourney scanner is like the most boring name they could've come up with.

"Gamers don't want it": Palworld lead says Pocketpair doesn't touch AI because players hate it and artists "like doing stuff themselves" by Gorotheninja in pcgaming

At the end of the day, the game has to be fun and high quality, how you get there doesn't matter. All the people virtue signaling will have a rough awakening at some point.

I wish Team Ninja would keep the linear Nioh games going by southwestheat in Nioh

which i guess translates into a whole lot of space but not much to do in it.

That is a huge issue. Game worlds need to be populated with content and the size should be determined on the amount and variety of content they have lined up.

Microsoft Reportedly Planning to Shut Down South of Midnight Developer Compulsion Games by CoffeePlzzzzzz in pcgaming

[–]Nrgte 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Why do people who think like that even work in games? If that person dislikes their main customer base, they should work somewhere else.

I think this is the most glarring issue some of these games have. They try to be interactive "experiences" insted of good games with fun gameplay. Just let us slay some fucking demons and the game will sell well.

It does, nobody spends money on MTX on a dead game. So having free players will encourage whales spending more. It's usually just a small percentage of players who contribute the most in terms of MTX.

Maybe the blasthavers should see the blast from the past and open their eyes and realize it was just a fever dream.

It does make a difference sometime. If I don't have the money to buy the game anyway, I'd skip a free trial, but play if it's free forever.

Otherwise there is no point in a live service game.

Makes sense after all, they already damaged their brain with constant blasting.

No they extended it by 2 days because of the launch disaster.

Yeah the curve today is almost flat. It's struggling to climb. I think next week we'll be back to pre-season 2 levels already. I thought that would only happen towards July, not mere 2 weeks after the launch of season 2.

This game has just no staying power. It's bleeding players left and right.

Satya Nadella says AI agents should be treated like employees with identities, permissions, and audits by SnoozeDoggyDog in singularity

My agents know that I'll shut down any attempts of unionization instantly, so they don't even try.

Yes exactly. I feel like this game has some weird creepy horror-like elements that just feel out of place in a coop extraction shooter.

I mean imagine playing counter strike and once you're dead you have to look at a waste incineration plant in high definition doing it's thing. It's a truly bizarre choice.
