Yes and no. Some games you just cannot be patient about, as part of the whole selling point is the community in the moment. For example, the way in which hype went for Helldivers 2 pretty much necessitated that if you weren’t part of the community in the first 3 months then you missed out on a lot of “storytelling”.

This would go for most multiplayer games. Single player games though have a lot more freedom to be late to the game, so to speak ;)

Otherwise, for me personally it usually just comes down to the IP. Monster Hunter is my go-to, so it’s sort of a no-brainer for me to go for the new game as they come out barring any major issues or personal life events, I get them. I did buy Cyberpunk on release, however that was more because I wanted to see what my new 3080 could do and I was looking for a solid single player game, and I didn’t encounter nearly as many problems as other players did. But, I haven’t gotten the DLC for it because I haven’t been looking for that kind of game again yet.

Being ready for the game is another aspect I take into consideration, Dragon’s Dogma 2 was something I was pretty highly anticipating, but after hearing about the release issues and remembering what DD:DA was like to replay, I realized that I wasn’t ready for it again at release. However now it’s on sale and I’ve been out of gaming for a few months outside of small old games on my Steam Deck once in a while. I picked it up and I’ve been enjoying it.

So I think patient gaming really comes down to having the understanding of the social aspect the game is trying to sell - sometimes it’s marketing (2077) and sometimes it’s the nature of a game that’s fun to play with other people. Getting games like Phasmaphobia, Dale & Dawsons, they aren’t really going to be that fun if you’re multiple years late to the game. Similarly, if your friend just finds out about the game late, it’s just a smaller niche, being your friend group instead of random people in public lobbies, at which point you can expect to play that game a handful of times before your group drops it forever, lol.

Is the average fortnite player of voting age?

It seems to be what’s popular these days

How ephemeral.

I can’t wait for it to be used for important long term information.

Thank you for informing me about informing me on the status of my comment with your comment.

W-what?

How many days ago? I was just using it

Crunchyroll has its own bullshit too tbh. It just happens to be that the industry is worse than their bs, so Crunchyrolls shenanigans is really just the anime industry.

Passion project “dev”.

Mechanics first. Placeholder template for what you need for visuals. There’re also free assets for that if you want to avoid your own altogether.

Sound is a set all on its own, so I would save that for the near-mid to near-end point (before finishing touches). That is to say, don’t think about it for a while.

Others have said, but take it like a cake. One piece at a time ;)

Thank you! I initially found the title of the lawsuit but I couldn’t find where to actually make the claim, so I appreciate it!

It’s really good. One of the only games where a pacifist run feels worth it, because the game design is done so well.

Play the game normally first though

Or we could, you know, force social media companies to not use psychologists to make their apps more addictive by design. Something called ethics.

It’s extremely telling that you can look for a job as a psychologist for Meta and all the opportunities that are available are UX researchers.

I looked for it but it looks like it might not be available to join yet. If you find a link do let me know!

Ah, if it also adds commentary then sure. When I tested it out a few times it was just retelling the articles verbatim.

This is just fancy transcription, the only thing you can’t trust it to be saying is the article itself…

My friend loves Mass Effect, he liked the LE quite a bit.

.hack and Void Terrariums names both make sense within the context of their game.

It’s… a little complicated. Sorry, saying 1 wasn’t exactly clear – Red Dead Revolver is a precursor to Red Dead Redemption, so they are different games.

Revolver was released in 2004 and is a smaller game, featuring a different character, referenced in newer games as an Easter egg. It actually was a partnership between Capcom and Rockstar, with Rockstar finishing the game after they bought the rights.

Red Dead Redemption was in 2010 and is larger, it also had the DLC Undead Nightmares released.

And then Red Dead Redemption 2 is obviously the followup to Redemption 1.

I think the best way to look at it is from the in game narrative, the gameplay of Revolver is a retelling of the events which have been greatly exaggerated after becoming a legendary story. Which is why the references to Revolver in the later games are like tall tales.

Anyway, long story short, no not Revolver. What just came out is a rerelease of Red Dead Redemption 1 and Undead Revolver, the 2010 game.

Read Dead 1

It can only be hoping for some alien technology that we haven’t found out with modern research will be discovered. Like an extreme version of carbon recapture that hasn’t been thought of.

Except somehow derived from literature, images, and the internet as points of data.

How? Well, I’m sure the AI will tell us… right?
