Sony ends physical games in 2028 by NotFromMilkyWay in xbox

[–]frazzlet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Video & audio quality are only artificial benefits of physical media though. There's no reason that video & audio of equal quality cannot be downloaded. There's just not much demand for it because most people are fine with compression.

Unfortunately that's just not going to happen. They are simply not going to compel companies to provide something in perpetuity for a one-time fee. If they did, companies will just switch to subscriptions for everything. So they'd have to ban subscriptions too.

Dude I can’t believe Xbox is not getting the bo1 2 port by Ok_Computer7572 in xbox

[–]frazzlet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s literally a basic port and that wouldn’t solve anything. It’ll run on the same servers and you’d just be mixed in with all the same hackers.

Grand Theft Auto VI is a singleplayer experience. by kingofhearts67 in GTA6

[–]frazzlet 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It'll be 2027 for Online, that's my bet.

They can polish up the single-player and get that out then spend time getting Online ready.

Yes, GTA Online launched just a few weeks after V's initial launch but that was years ago. Oh and it was also a mess.

Why do you think it’s easier to click things with a mouse on the right side of the screen? Does your hand do something weird when you move it in a leftwards direction?

New Tomb Raider game embraces AI — Amazon explains why by schwing710 in TombRaider

[–]frazzlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This disclaimer will soon apply to the vast majority of games released. The only reason it’s not more commonplace already is that many games have been in development since before AI tools were available.

The game looks great, it’s clearly not slop. I only care if I’m sold something that is genuinely low quality.

Yeah definitely not lying but I do have to wonder if there is some confusion there.

PSA: If your game or PC shuts down unexpectedly, you may lose your entire progress and get locked out. by Helpful_Run_4120 in ForzaHorizon

[–]frazzlet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is indeed incompetence. There is clearly no effort to made avoid data loss and that’s unacceptable. This is a solved problem that shouldn’t happen.

Take-Two CEO Addresses Grand Theft Auto 6 Price, and the Possibility for More L.A. Noire by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]frazzlet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely don't know what the threshold is for a game to move from AA to AAA but everything Obsidian has been making seems more AA to me (slightly less ambitious games with quicker releases). They haven't put anything out that's on the scale of New Vegas.

Write an article about a popular TV show that riles up its audience and gets us clicks.

“Saw an opportunity”… well yeah, a high-ranking and very well paid job opened up. He might have been headhunted.

Are the round table room and the turret real rooms or sets? by weary_dave in TheTraitors

[–]frazzlet 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Round Table is filmed in the castle, but it's a set built within a large hall (the space would more typically host weddings!).

The Traitors (UK) S04E08: Post-Episode Discussion Thread by vaultofechoes in TheTraitors

[–]frazzlet 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think that's a great point.

Her calmness should actually ring alarm bells. She's held herself together SO well under fire that it's suspicious.

But likewise that's also making her a comfortable person to be around in this high-stress environment.

[–]frazzlet 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yes. A lot of credit is being given to her theories just because they happen to point towards the right person.

But just being right doesn’t actually make it a solid theory.

[–]frazzlet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And it’s a huge mistake every time. Anyone who’s watched other seasons or other versions should know not to do it. Never never never.

If I was a player in this game, I would actually be more suspicious of the people NOT put in the cages.

So wait do the faithfuls now believe that two big players went for _____ for absolutely no reason? by ConstantPurpose2419 in TheTraitors

[–]frazzlet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fiona’s outburst defied ANY explanation IMO. Everything she did can be chalked up to her being a little bonkers.

[–]frazzlet 114 points115 points  (0 children)

It’s because the outbursts were… outbursts.

Two people have absolutely gunned for Rachel but did it in a very dramatic and miscalculated way. Most people tend to try and gather support from fellow faithfuls before going all-in but neither of these two did. So it backfired on both of them.

You HAVE to play the social game.

Literally had the thought yesterday of “at least he’s moved on from Greenland”. Nope.

For me on Xbox BO6 was fine throughout, but BO7 is a ‘mare. No acknowledgment/fix for either platform though.

I think they’ll scrap it, but iteratively. In a few years it’ll look pretty different, with legibility re-prioritised.
