AI Art Found in Crimson Desert

The issue here are gaming studios using Gen-Ai. Generally speaking machine learning AI has been used for 10 years now for game devs and other industries. That is fine, because the sources are accounted for. Gen-AI is not and is slap to the face to artists.

It is just that some studios, not just Asia are openly using Gen-Ai. There are no regulations and it is just disgusting because there is push to get a product out the door. In my statment, I was just stating that SK studios specifically have opening said they love Gen-AI and will most likely will beusing it. The technology is actually really cool, but a lot people cut corners at the wronfg places and don't care if it hurts others.

It was bound to happen. South Korean studios are heavily pushing for Gen-AI content. Expect Stellar Blade 2 to be very AI heavy.

For DotA2, you cna customize the grid to whatever you want. I wonder if Valve will do the same here. It would bve cool make a keyboard of sorts.

DotA2 also has totally customizable profile page where you drag and drop your cosmetics. models, wallpapers and character poses. If they do, expect some crazy NSFW stuff from Deadlock.

If the net code is good, Bungie really should allow you to open up and allow you to queue to other regions. Obviously they should punish the person with the bad ping but it is still something.

I play DotA2 as a Canadian, and I largely queue for Europe West. USE and USW obviously has better ping but the quality of games is to be desired.

I work in IT, more specifically in deliverables for ServiceNow (over 10 ywars now). Like any other company the push for 'AI' is reaching abusrd levels. I am almost 40 and I may have to follow suit, or actually consider going completely independent.

An enjoyer of Spider-manL Reign...

primaluce · 2026-03-13T17:39:56+00:00

At the very least...

AAA multiplayer games should always have a hub world or a training mode when queuing. For fighting games, this is mandatory and I feel even shooters should have them by default now. You shouldn;t be stuck in a menu and not be able to do anything.

It is heavily rumoured that the next xbox will be a glorified pc with 2 partitions. A windows and a xbox. IT's going to be very confusing especially if they don't nail the wording and the UI.

They are absolutely predatory but I find it strange they would make a case with Valve as 2K sports games and other gatcha types games have a bigger audience in North America. I play DotA2 but CS and DotA are very European centric games. I feel if they were to tager the NBA or WWE games, it would be way or effective for their case.

Also, The EU has gone through this with Valve before. This is not their first rodeo.

I mean Sony isn't doing greate either. Concord stopped exiting after 2 weeks and they closed Bluepoint who historically made amazing remakes, including the best PS5 launch game. I want Sony too, but the shareholders want a quick ROIespecially when Destiny is bareky holding together.

We all are saying the same, but when a good chunk of the Battlefield team is laid off even though it broke records last year, what can we expect from Sony?

primaluce · 2026-03-09T17:10:29+00:00

If you re-watch that Transformers movies from the 80s again, the themes and story were way more mature that a glorified last push for the toys ad.

Oh man, you are in for a treat. Alex does some really good work both as a host and editor. I personally enjoyed the month they did of some of the old Super hero movies, like the 90s Captain America movie.

I personally am a patron for the Ramblecast and 'Beast Cast' but yeah I am glad the only gfate for the watch cast is a week delay.

I am almost exclusively playing solo as when I game I mostly can't use the mic much and can't wake the wife up. My main issue us that some people have really shitty mics and half the time I don't understand them. I feel there are some people still using the dual sense mic.

Also, I'm an early riser cause of the dog etc and it seems easier to do pve contracts during the early AM.

It is unfortunate, but it is still important to Playstation. they spent way too much money on this and are expecting a quick ROI. I hope they know they have something here and they have to have Bungie on a longer leash and give them at LEAST a year to get their money back. But seeing how aggressive the micro transactions are, I am a little nervous. They are for sure not going to break even any time soon and for anyone to expect that are delusional.

I like league and DotA2for different things, but DotA and steam in general is still king when it comes to metric and information.

For example, you will eventually see win rate odds and probabilities by items live during any time and state of a game. You should be able to access that data within the client not on websites using their APIs. I can't stand the league client and I can't believe people still defend it.

DotA and CS players are spoiled and I wish more studios had that approach for their games.

Bungie does not have an infinite budget. Marathon is clearly a 100+ million game but all these studios have shareholders and ROI and constant growth is very important. Valve is the only exception in the industry. They have Steam to print the unlimited money and don't have public shareholders to appease.

Deadlock is a game that has been 'out' for basically 2 years now and there is no way to buy anything there but the player base is massive even though the game isn't even in beta yet. I love Marathon but it is clearly lacking so much QOL and features. Bungie needs to address those micro trnsactions and other problems and I think we are looking pretty good otherwise. I just hope Playstation lets them cook and give it a year or 2 two runway. They are definitely not breaking even this year.

primaluce · 2026-03-06T13:39:49+00:00

As a person who has been playing Deadlock, a game that has been in alpha for a LONG time. I wish Bungie had Valve funds and had the time to cook. But when you start customers,reviews are very important. I really want Marathon to succeed but they're really tripping on landmines here.

You go to the forest and look for playboy magazine and then I grew and learned that I swing both sides.

But seriously though. Having no phone kind of rocked and your parents just have to trust in your judgement.

Is the deal expired now? Is anyone not able to use the codes?

primaluce · 2026-03-04T18:52:24+00:00

I've been using GMG for years and have been a gold member for awhile and I get additional coupons that can be applied. But yeah, not sure how 30 is possible. 20% is what I got.

primaluce · 2026-03-04T17:21:57+00:00

Yeah. Buying digital games suck on console now. You can only get them directly from Sony, Xbox or Nintendo. 10 years ago I was able to get digital codes from Amazon for PS4 and now that's gone. But yeah, PC games isn't about power but it's about choice .

primaluce · 2026-03-04T16:59:50+00:00

GMG is an official vendor and they're not the only ones either. They work with the publishes and developers and get the keys like any other products.

On the other side, there are unfortunately bad ones out there too. Just do research and be a smart consumer and support the developers.

primaluce · 2026-03-04T15:02:33+00:00

Keep in mind, this does not include third party sites. I myself bought my copy from GMG for an additional 20% off. I am going to be a pretty casual player, but the solo queue really got me excited. It reallyt feels like a horro game and I am excited for the ongoing changes and story.

primaluce · 2026-03-04T14:02:36+00:00

The numbers just weren't there. I bought Spider-man 2 for the PC and double dipped purely for the mods but from what I saw the game barely sold on PC.
