I want to say I would replay the game, but I struggle with that even with games I enjoy. I've made a few attempts to replay Witcher 3 and haven't been successful. I still haven't finished Act 3 in my main playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3 either after getting distracted by Starfield.

So, I'm working under the assumption that I've only going to be making one solid attempt at playing through the game.

I bought the base game on sale but only spent a few minutes with it. Still haven't decided if I want to play with or without the expansion at this point. But all these update are making me want to keep waiting for the "final" final patch, haha.

Can't believe this actually happened.

I haven't used Godot before so I can't provide too much in the way of context from a user.

Overall though, the notes are pretty massive and encompass a large number of changes, most which are going to be meaningless to you if you not are a game developer or a Godot developer.

Some specific things that standout for a more general audience would be adding support for FSR 2.2, support ('experimental' aka not necessarily production ready) for project exports targeting Android and iOS (which were broken when they switched from Mono to the standard .NET library for C# support).

The problem is when those "older builds" rely on a connection to a back-end. If this was just a standalone piece of software that is one thing, but you can't just let out-of-date clients that connect over the internet to run indefinitely.

I fucking hate people who write articles to stoke fear for clicks.

What about people who are confidently wrong in their ignorance and post old articles that don't prove what they think it does?

I've honestly gotten into the habit of checking dates at this point, as I fall into that trap a lot, haha.

I'm also not sure I'd characterize 8+ years as "released recently" either.

You didn't say that, so I'm curious what you feel that measure would be.

But whether this stance is going to be accepted (via upvotes/downvotes) in this type of community comes down to a simple popularity contest.

If I thought that Starfield was fun and tried this type of sentiment, I would be downvoted. Would that be because there is some objective measure of quality that separates the two games, or just because more people are fans of Larian than Bethesda?

I'm not thrilled with the idea that we lower the bar for game developers based on how biased we are towards them or not.

I feel like the games should speak for themselves and we shouldn't aim for special treatment.

Ah, OP admitted to being a shill! This is a rare occurrence. Let’s continue to observe

I don't think you know what "shill" means...

I don't think I've had a Pixel phone that survived much past the two year mark. They've all had various issues, either problems with the battery/charging or just dying altogether.

I still use them because you can get them for cheaper than most phones, but "longer lasting" is the last adjective I would use for them.

To be fair, didn’t it eventually come out that pretty much everyone was cheating? VW just got caught first.

Which other manufacturers were cheating?

Honestly, I hadn't realized there was a paywall on the article after having signed up a couple weeks ago.

I'll actually avoid posting their articles here then. Thanks for the callout.

Edit: Though I'm still interested in hearing about where they are hypocritical. People keep saying Aftermath writers say paywalls are bad, but I haven't seen that anywhere that I've noticed.

I don't know, how will I know if my opinions on a game are valid and objectively correct if I don't have player numbers to back them up?

That is all that has ever existed in the genre and is all anyone wants from it.

I don't remember you appointing you as the sole representative for all gamers.

Personally, I think games can be written about beyond "game good" and "game bad". Or maybe it comes down to whether you find gaming something important, or just a silly way to waste time.

Where in the article did they complain about registration or paywalls?

I'm not entirely sure what connection your comment has to the article itself?

That or they just don't like the content of the post?

I haven't upvoted the post because I'm not a huge fan of the "I'm not like other gamers/posters" style of content and don't really want to encourage it.
