You’ll find high quality captures of longplay of those old NGage games. There are only a couple dozen currently but I believe they want to archive all games this way - obviously that consumes a lot of time.

Honestly I haven’t seen the video but it looks like something I was wondering about recently so let me explain.

We’re more and more confused as to how mainstream games look like, as if gameplay was not a consideration at all. One could argue that this is due to lack of direction and trying to satisfy as many market needs as possible.

At the same time I also think that there could be an issue where there is no constructive feedback in the discussion because all of the reviews were either paid for (with a game copy and maybe some other goodies too) or have an interest in creating an outrage (culture wars or being negative all the time). There’s no middle ground so everyone works in the dark. Honest reviewers are rare and you need to find someone matching your taste which is beyond most people so it’s kind of irrelevant for how things look in general.

As much comic book holy bible is a holy bible. It’s an ecumenical matter.

:O ?!

I need to see this thing!

They’re not inherently bad. You could say modern style Mario games have achievements because some things are optional and super hard.

Maybe what the youth needs is Final Fantasy XIII but with Dunmer stealth rogue archers.

What made Morrowind great was open structure and wonderful narrative. There’s no denying mechanics sucked for a normal person and those other people (;)) can play OpenMW forever. It’d be cool if it was made more accessible for new generations though. Like a comic book holy bible.

Not in these market conditions XD

Uh-huh.

I think The World vs US Trumpistan also has a bit to do this. Far righters are rallying around Trump these days and therefore non-American or non-America-aligned = bad. Honestly, the logic behind this is so bizarre that they catch many people off guard which is why it’s so successful.

OpenMW is effectively a remaster, there’s only so much you can do without redoing the engine and maybe some of the core mechanics for a modern audience which would constitute a true remake.

You’re really boring. I’m going to block you and ban you from my single person community that you stalk as well.

Please criticise this game for real things rather than culture wars, ok?

Companies spend money at marketing, news at 11 from a LinkedIn influencer. Do you know marketing budgets games of this size have? This is peanuts.

Kind of but at high ranking levels when there’s not enough players or matches it can make MMR changes a bit wild. The again Tekken is not a team game so maybe they can balance it out.

It’s probably this?

Patch 2.00 also changes the Point Gain/Loss System. Now, the higher your opponent’s rank is, the more points you will earn for a win. Moreover, the lower your opponent’s rank is, the more points you will lose for a defeat.

Matchmaking rankings are imprecise for the top players which can lead to big swings when weights are applied. Similar problem in Dota.

This guy fucks.

The Russian way of freezing your own ears off just to piss off the libs.

SC2: Wings of Liberty was very good but they definitely overdid it with expansions and couldn’t work themselves out of that hole.

I’m not sure what do you mean by Microsoft quality lately. Just recently Black Ops 6, Hellblade 2 were received very well and Indiana Jones is a GOTY territory. Avowed was mixed but some of target audience seemed to like it a lot.
