Spiderman is not that simple, it is different from other marvel games since sony licenses the IP and is responsible for creating a lot of the content.

AI is using more processing power in data centers, costing more energy and water for cooling. it will be interesting to see if AI saves more than it costs. we celebrated when bitcoin went away, only for it to be replaced with something else

awesome, another 8 bit graphics remake

what is an "x" ? is that when Elon shits himself?

Time to work on the remastered version. A finished product would be boring. Got to repeat Witcher 3 history where the game is never truly finished as in receiving a final patch.

this again? because Witcher 3 did not have water reflections like they showed in some of the original demos it was "unfinished"?

The worst thing was in five, where after every quarter of an area capture you had a mandatory “get captured” so the story could progress. It was annoying as hell

I find it hard to believe that a vibrating buttplug can be used to provide useful information to a chess grandmaster

Please inform me of a scenario where its ok that I work as a translator for an app and insert political messaging into that app without anyone's knowledge or approval.
I get that people want to "be angry" with CDPR for removing this content but it seems a bit silly since you can just as well be angry with every game company that does not include political messaging in their games.

Eh, investors have always been unrealistic about CDPR. with the crash a lot of people came to reality. All the same, this latest patch and the number of updates does go to show how much the original cyberpunk design sucked and failed at many levels. There were lots of stories about rewrites and restarts, about origin stories getting dropped. Anyway it is good to have a reason to revisit the game. Most disappointing thing last time around was I was friend zoned by my lesbian love interest, have to do more research in advance, LOL.

The unity damage is in having a boring engine that has done nothing innovative or competitive in years. why would anyone choose this over UE5.x?

supposedly outpost building was a requirement in the original starfield to increase spaceship jump range and tolerance for harsher environments was required the further out you go. That was kind of dropped. Right now it serves no real purpose aside from credit/xp farming. basically anything you need for crafting can be flat out bought so making a mining/factory outpost is unnecessary. Some people have done some amazing things with them, which is fine if you enjoy setting up automation factories, but in terms of the regular gameplay loop, does not add much.

I enjoyed the first one. picked up the DLC but never completed it, seemed like they bumped the difficulty way up. looking forward to this.

I love this game but damn it was hard for someone that is reaction challenged. I had to use cheese strategies on a bunch of the bosses and this game does not give a lot of options in that regard.

I don't really understand how companies make their money off of gamepass. no doubt microsoft has some excellent spreadsheets they pass around that show profit of pure retail vs gamepass.... but still.

Eh, this might sound like a stupid problem but issues like this can be incredibly difficult to predict and fix. As I recall outriders had a similar issue at launch. Why wasn't this caught in advance? Because 200 people accessing a server is very different from 500000 people accessing the same server. To better predict things like this many companies will run a network test where a larger audience and come in and test the game. That might get 50k or 100k people, which may find some issues, but that is still short of being a realistic test. I don't recall that being done for this game but I may be wrong. It sounds like here with the number of people logging in they ran out of network bandwidth to process the requests, resulting in a catastrophic failure. That would have to suck being the person in charge of that "solution". The third party also... doubt they will recover from this failure.

silly title aside, these do not seem to be similar games at all. space combat is just one part of Starfield. I will admit everspace did a lot better, but it depends on what you want out of a game

yeah, I've been playing it some. it appears that you have "bound" items and unbound items. Crystallized witchfire is in the former. In terms of loot, this game is not a looter. weapons/items are researched and cannot be lost. Drops appear to be gold, crafting materials, ammo and such but.... Also I was wrong about spawn location, it is random based on the portals used.

It is not quite like that. Death means that you drop witchfire, which is the "currency" to level up. There is the soft type, gained by killing mobs, and also crystallized type, which is a different permanent reward. You can go back to an area to pick up what you lost. A mission consists of going to an area, killing clusters of enemies, collecting the drops and opening associated chests, then repeating with other sections, finally leaving through an exit portal. Going back to an area respawns everything and puts you back at the portal you left from. While in a mission you can passively research for better weapons/spells. All that being said, I have had a couple of crashes (W11, 7900xtx), so stability is not the greatest.

Painkiller was one of my favorite games. This company comes from 3 of the founders of People Can Fly. This game has an overall similar feel to Hunt: Showdown, however for now it is purely SP based.

Starfield’s Steam rating has dropped below Fallout 76.

meanwhile, the people playing and enjoying starfield... don't care... LOL
