People have a misconception that cars waste more fuel at lower speeds, but it's really due to where the lower speeds are happening. Fuel is mostly wasted due to constant stopping and acceleration, like in a city environment with traffic lights and stop signs. On a highway, it's actually more efficient because you aren't stopping so often.
Sources online have said he's 5'0 (~152 cm) and 120 lbs (54 kg) so he's a really tiny guy. I can definitely see him squeezing through the gaps in razor wire.
A Wii. I'm not super big into emulating it but I have a few games on dolphin. It's just the console I remember having the most fun with as a kid and I wanna experience that again. Every time I walk into a video game store the shelves are lined with Wii games so it shouldn't be hard to get into it compared to other older consoles like a GameCube or something
As a hobby I make maps for a game mode in csgo called "KZ." In short, it's a parkour type time trial mode. You go from the start to the end and see how fast you can go. Some maps are so hard that theyre more about who can finish rather than how fast you go, but I digress.
I got into a lengthy and heated argument about how not all maps need to be about forcing the player to move and think fast to be fun. So I went and made a map that caps your speed at 180 units/second. Normal speed is 250. Lots of people had fun playing that map and a lot of people told me it was my best work. Go figure. Took me probably 6 months to make it, but I am a slow mapper so it might have taken another person 2 or 3 months.
That makes sense. I think demakes have a bit of retro style, but if he's recreating the game it might be closer to the whole "running doom on any piece of technology" trend. Gameplay wise it's the same doom, it's just on an ATM now.
To chime in, I think a lot of this kind of discourse is just based on what you're looking for in a game.
In American Truck Simulator, one of the DLC's is the state of Wyoming, which is remarkably barren. It's the least populous state in the whole country, and many of it's "biggest cities" don't even top out over 100,000 people. If you look at the reviews for it, it's actually somewhat divisive. A lot of people criticize it for being "boring," but that's also how Wyoming is in real life, having driven across the state partially myself. I think a lot of this has to do what people come into the game expecting. Some want to enjoy the game as a truck simulator and Wyoming offers plenty of space for that. Some also want to enjoy the game via other formats, such as the scenery, and Wyoming doesn't excel that much in those areas.
My point being, I think it's just hard to make claims about this thing because it's all just subjectivity. I think if you make a black-and-white claim about this then you just aren't thinking very rationally. Some people will like it and some people won't. Such is life.
Did they pay you to write this?
Are you forcing yourself to enjoy the game because you paid so much?
Or am I insane?
Please for the love of god can we not turn beehaw (and lemmy as a whole) into YET ANOTHER space where people enjoying a game to whatever degree they please is somehow truly impossible to believe that you question your sanity??? Just learn how to have a conversation for crying out loud!
Not surprising to see them get complaints about this tbh. They went for "borderline horror game" with how much of a miserable wasteland Fallout 3 was and got blasted for it.
They're not saying a Bethesda game is supposed to be bad. They're saying a Bethesda game is supposed to be... a first/third person western RPG with exploration and looter-sometimes-shooter elements and a heavy emphasis on skill checks. That's been every one of their games since Morrowind besides FO76. Expecting different at this point would be asinine, especially considering Todd and Bethesda repeatedly said this was an RPG.
As a current college student, I think a lot of this has to also do with teachers and our schools also having this mindset and even actually giving us basically job training. On the one hand it makes sense; If you're getting a degree in graphic design, you might as well learn Illustrator. But on the other hand, it communicates to, say, graphic design students that their degrees are "Illustrator Degrees" instead of "Graphic Design degrees." I don't want to generalize too broadly, but I've definitely seen it where if you give a student these types of classes, they start to disregard the theoretical or even the "knowledge base" classes in favor of "here's what you'll be doing in 2 years" classes.
