Imagine seeing this in ancient times. I'd think the world is ending.
Exactly. Ubisoft is the perfect example of this. Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, R6. They used to take risks and try to push gaming forward with amazing ideas and design that made my kid brain explode.
Now those IPs are dead or extremely stale. And it's because releasing an AC with microtransactions makes them more money than making an offline single player Splinter Cell. Or releasing a skin for 20 euros for R6 siege makes them a huge profit for the time invested in creating it.
God I wish we'd get a new single player Splinter Cell. Some of my best memories I have as a kid are playing the original Splinter Cell. Even if we do, it'll be riddled with microtransactions and will fail to capture the magic of the original games.
I'd happily pay for premium as I use YouTube religiously. But it's Google so fuck them, they already process my information in order to show me ads and profit off of my data. I think that's payment enough, so I'll just find any free way possible to watch YouTube without ads.
I don't get it, he should be a perfect host then right?
And, everyones total misunderstanding of the fediverse. Yea, no wonder it's all tech people here, dumbass
That seems like a lemmy problem. It's not their fault they aren't techy, it's Lemmy's fault for completely disregarding them.
Alan Wake 2. What a masterpiece, especially THAT sequence. I absolutely loved this game.
The older I get, the more I start to appreciate studios that take risks and believe in their creative identity. Games like Death Stranding and Alan Wake 2 are perfect examples. They're not everyone's cup of tea, but that's what art is. Someone might hate something that you personally find breathtaking. And vice versa.
I'm also playing Spiderman 2 at the moment, and while it's good and it's very fun, I will not remember this game 1 day after I finish it. Death stranding I finished 3 months ago and I still think about it. I'm extremely excited for DS2 and hopefully Alan Wake 3.
Sony will buy EA or some shit and the corpo wars will begin.
They don't want to be communists and they're literally doing what the communists in my country used to do
Deserved. Their work gave us hope and a way out of the pandemic.
Relay also stopped working for me today, so here I am for good now, at least on mobile.
I hope reddit sinks to the bottom because of their greed.
If we can get match threads and goals in here then that's 80% of my reddit usage.
Calling Figma free is like calling complimentary bread sticks a full dinner.
Penpot would be a better alternative. I never used it but it's gaining momentum.
