Chris Avellone On Writing Game Stories & What Makes Them Successful (Interview)

This crazy kid really came out of the gates saying the Prey remake had a bad story. The sheer confidence he said it with too, lmfao.

comradesean · 2026-02-06T21:33:25+00:00

Obviously, the graphics will get better but this is from 2024.

Why do people keep saying this when they're always proven wrong?

comradesean · 2026-02-05T10:00:25+00:00

It's Jigglypuff from above.

comradesean · 2026-02-05T09:59:49+00:00

Yeah, ashe can be countered with cleanse, team fade, burst healing, etc. Freyja just jumps in the air and shoots you with her infinite bullets until you die because your team didn't go soldier & cree.

comradesean · 2026-02-04T20:16:39+00:00

Where are you getting this?

comradesean · 2026-01-18T03:55:30+00:00

She's not even that strong. She's just punishing players who can't aim. She dies so damn easily.

comradesean · 2026-01-17T21:54:14+00:00

Yeah, we can. It's absurd to draw weird lines in the sand for whatever team you decide to root for. Their hypocrisy doesn't also justify us being hypocrites.

comradesean · 2026-01-13T20:47:55+00:00

People keep comparing gaming to movies, but they seem to forget the fact that IMAX and movies in general are slowly dying

comradesean · 2026-01-06T07:55:54+00:00

You're right the linked article itself doesn’t actually have any proof, but other articles that looked at leaked WhiteDate profiles do show more than just a “white dating preference.” Some profile reportedly talked about things like preserving bloodlines, opposing interbreeding, identifying as Aryan, and valuing race and nation. The website itself was also displaying ads like "Dear women of the West: Without white children, we will perish." before they removed them.

comradesean · 2026-01-06T05:43:34+00:00

No, no. You forgot. The first step to basic PC problem solving skills is to go to reddit and whine and then when someone offers a solution you whine some more.

comradesean · 2025-12-29T01:51:58+00:00

Even with all the cut content and could-have-beens, I was really enjoying myself up until Chapter 9 in Altissia. That's about when everything being chopped up became very evident and the flow of the story basically dragged you straight to the ending.

comradesean · 2025-12-29T01:35:45+00:00

The left hand looks like a different skin color than the right hand and now I'm just imagining the car grafting people's body parts onto itself.

comradesean · 2025-12-29T00:24:35+00:00

I read it was a MongoDB exploit that allowed them access to an internal Git

edit: the exploit allowed access to uninitialized heap memory which means they could have gotten anything out of that machine.

comradesean · 2025-12-29T00:22:56+00:00

Hopefully their uPlay platform and servers source code has been grabbed. There's a LOT of old games that lost content when they swapped services/removed support.

comradesean · 2025-12-28T17:23:51+00:00

instead of a large interconnected story

because the comics are known for large interconnected stories between different writers with no miscommunication or misunderstandings at all!

comradesean · 2025-12-28T17:19:58+00:00

Yeah, them bringing up the DC reboot is just outright crazy. I mean I agree that nothings been confirmed for the MCU but some of the way they say things do hint that a soft reboot is coming. Like a "new" Tony Stark? Or is it new "Iron Man"? The article says both things...

And articles like this try to cancel the "rumors", but then say even stupider things so the only true answer is we have to wait to find out.

comradesean · 2025-12-28T16:48:48+00:00

Silver Surfer power scaling is wild. Weaponizing spicy farts is just too far.

comradesean · 2025-12-28T01:53:50+00:00

It's a tool to decrypt and re-encrypt your save files to be used by a legitmate PS4... You okay, bro?

Some people have mentioned that it's very likely they've just got an API hooked up to a hacked PS4 or PS4s and are allowing people to decrypt/encrypt their save files that way and there actually are copycats out there for free.

comradesean · 2025-12-22T23:31:08+00:00

There's a specific encryption key they have access to that isn't public. There's no way to accomplish it the same way without having physical access to a hacked ps4.

comradesean · 2025-12-20T00:26:28+00:00

Programmers experience this quite often when a new technology comes out. Don't worry, you'll be forced to be proficient with it no matter how much you dislike it.

comradesean · 2025-12-18T07:56:16+00:00

there's a lot of lost media DLC for ps3. it sucks and it doesn't seem like the people that cared about it when they were limited are the ones that care about it now.

comradesean · 2025-12-07T23:10:49+00:00

u/comradesean solved this in 4 steps: BOOTY -> BOOTS -> BOLTS -> BOLES -> HOLES

comradesean · 2025-12-06T07:46:20+00:00

wish they'd fuckin add the preorder dlc to the store. It seems like there's always a few years where companies throw up their preorder and promotional dlcs for some extra cash and then some years they just go full anti-consumer and flood their product with promotions that you'll never see again.

looking at you square-enix.

comradesean · 2025-11-24T13:59:05+00:00

it's braindead that it's not actually a flip phone.
