This makes me sad. No preschool teacher should have to ever do this. Nobody should have to do this.

Game should be free by now. Who is going to buy this knowing its servers will be shut down sometime in the near future?

I love Elden Ring and the SotE DLC, but Elden Ring should not be elligible for GOTY again. The only reason I can see this is that Geoff wants a redo for Miyazaki after the “reformed Jewish Rabi Joe Biden” fiasco. So if this is the case the SotE will probably get awarded GotY, despite my feeling that it should not qualify for that.

Yeah, weren’t the bad guys Russians in the original games as well?

World at War was the best one, what do you mean?

Though I stopped at WaW, then played Advanced Warfare (which was cool I guess), Infinite (which I actually really liked), and WW2 (which was honestly pretty bad especially by comparison to WaW).

People are offering to pay as a hyperbole to try to tell Activision how much they want to disable the skins. Nobody actually is willing to pay extra for that. Its like dangling a carrot in front of a corporations face.

“We want to do X so badly, we are willing to pay for it,” which translates to " We want to do X so badly, we are willing to do the last possible option that we want in order to be able to do X."

Its to make you click on it to find out which studio it was. Clickbait.

Well, the developers could be at least partially at fault. Higher up positions may not be the only ones to blame, as the they may have delegated roles to the lower positions that could have included creative control.

We don’t know whether the developers share any responsibility for what happened.

I also think that the artists could have easily created better designs for the characters, so why they made the designs so uninspired and unappealing really makes me reconsider if some of the development team may be partially to blame as well.

At least the game didn’t seem to have bad gameplay bugs, but the game was around for less than two weeks and I didn’t play it, so I can’t sntirely confirm that. But the engineers and programmers probably arent to blame for the games failure. People didnt seem to complain about the game on a technical level.

Literally the reason why VHS beat BetaMax, and the reason DVDs replaced VHS so quickly.

Good. I heard this version was pretty faithful to the original and did not opt to censor anything from the original.

That is how games that are remastered or remade should be done: as faithful as possible to the original with the absolute minimal changes necessary.

If developers want to have a remade story that makes a lot of changes, then include it as an alternate mode. As long as the original is faithfully recreated, I have no problem trying out a new way to play. But only including the new way to play rubs me the wrong way. Its like someone in development said “I know better than the original team, and my ‘better’ version is the only one people will get to play.” I steer clear of those.

Resident Evil Deadly Silence did this, where it had its own “Rebirth Mode,” along with “Classic Mode.” Literally all remakes and remasters should have this.

Of course we are using upscaling to mask poor performance at native 1080p. Why did I expect anything different?

Scenario A: Only do this if the recording you are ripping from is in the public domain. Otherwise you’re going to be paying fees

Scenario B: Most sound effects already in games are either made in-house by the developers or are from a licensed sound library. These are easily recognizable and if someone decides to check if you have the rights, youre going to be paying fines and penalties.

Scenario C: Same risk as above two scenarios.

Most of the time people don’t check or don’t care, but if they do you’d be paying out a lot for something that you easily could have avoided by either buying the license for the sound library or recording it yourself.

Too bad its an extraction shooter and will die like the rest.

I would have bought this back when it was a 16 player coop PvE game. Now I won’t touch it wearing a hazmat suit.

OG? This isn’t a tower defense style mode, so how is it OG? New Wave OG?

That seems like a lot of RAM. I mean, I have 32GB, but it still seems on the high side.

Hopefully not to mask poor performance.

A video game does not need to be innovative to be fun.

Marathon is next.

It will have maybe a little better legs to stand on, but it will fail just the same. Bungie should have called it literally anything else, because I cannot think of any IP less suitable for a live service extraction hero shooter than Marathon.

With no barrel to really direct the velocity, wouldn’t it be more like attaching a tiny grenade or firecracker than a bullet? In that case the kickback force would be less than out of a regular rifle since the blast velocity is distributed in a radius and not in a singular direction.

Potentially, but at that point it probably would have lost its lethal velocity, so the worst that could happen is it gets stuck in your hair or falls into your shirt or something.
