  • IMO having AI dialogue is only going to make it generic and possibly inconsistent between characters or with the lore the game is trying to set up.

    Maybe not too big a deal for a sandbox-y experimental kind of game, but terrible for a story-driven one. Some stuff is better written.

  • Let's be honest, the only reason I was still following E3 for a while was hope that something like E3 2006 would happen again.

    Since it only got progressively more boring with time, I didn't care much about it being cancelled, be it this year or forever.

  • It's worse than tide pods somehow.

    Tide pods was a challenge, a incredibly stupid and lethal one but one that was not presented as anything else than the stupidest dare ever.

    This is apparently presented as a health tip (complete with the usual "detox" pseudoscience bullshit). Fuck these assholes.

  • Are you sure they're not just decent dubs? Non English-speaking countries have been used to synced dubs forever.

    This is why adapting (well) for dubs is way more complicated than just translating dialogues. You have to find an equivalent line that matches visible mouth movements.

  • That doesn't sit right with me. It sounds to me, in that moment, like they're implying that people from other cultures could be less moral, and that we should be willing to be more free with our weapons towards such people.

    This is, unfortunately, how many, many very religious people think. And it's not only insulting for everyone not following their beliefs, but also terrifying in my opinion.

    People who believe their god is the only thing that makes them moral aren't really moral. Because then they never consider why it's important to, you know, not be an asshole. It's just compliance.

    And the terrifying part is that since their only frame of reference regarding what "good" is would be whatever their religion dictates, it's always on the verge of breaking completely. You just need to listen to the wrong interpretation at the wrong moment in your life.

  • Wait, what? I really can't understand why they'd port it without touch input.

    Even weirder is that Grindstone, another Capy game, has touch control on Switch. I guess someone else might have done the Clash of Heroes port.

    I had the game on DS too, really liked it. I tried the android port that already had the enhanced visuals, but because of the weird orientation choice it was almost impossible to play on a phone screen, units were way too small for capacitive input. I'm sure on a larger screen it would have been no problem.

  • No Man's Sky's UI is almost entirely through cursors, drag and drop etc.

    Even choosing between a couple dialog options used to require moving a pointer over buttons but they finally fixed that at some point. Now with a controller you can just select the answers right away.

  • You've unlocked some deeply buried memory there.

    I remember I used that not so much to "accelerate" downloads but mostly because it let me download stuff in multiple sessions, instead of trying to do it in my browser and lose everything because of a lost connection.

    Hours to download a few MB, interesting times.
