  1. Why is game development so ineffective?

    I was going to write about why most programmers ("software engineers" lol) are unbelievably shit nowadays, but it really doesn't matter. No skilled artist, writer, level-designer, or programmer, will ever show-off their true abilities in the over-managed, sterile, modern workplace. It's the...

  2. Most disappointing game for you in 2023 and why: Share you thoughts

    Resident Evil 4 Remake. Possibly the only full price game I bought this year, and I barely made it a third of the way through. Hard to say why. Too much hype? Too high expectations? I've never played the original, but I think I understand some of the criticism of it lacking the character of the...

  3. Commandos-Like Mimimi Games shutting down

    Gaming seems to have transformed into an industry with absolutely insane growth and revenue - bigger than film and gambling combined - and yet many studios with a good track record can't turn a profit, and well known devs are leaving the industry saying they really didn't earn much at all. Very...

  4. Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island crossover

    Full 3D Melee Island. Never thought I'd see that.

  5. It's time to stop playing games.

    Zoomer take on it below - and it is actually a pretty good video. TDLR: excessive video gaming is just an easy way of coping with something missing in your life. I can only speak for myself, but as someone who played non-stop when I was younger, I do regret it. If I had just put more effort into...

  6. A Plague Tale: Requiem - sequel to medieval rodent-infested game from Asobo Studio

    Just finished it. Like the original, this game is an absolutely brutal gore/death fest. I'm not complaining, but almost expected it to get toned down the sequel... The graphics are frequently amazing, and due to a pretty lengthy play time for this kind of game, it does feel like quite an epic...

  7. Visage: The Scariest PC Game Ever Made?

    As someone who has played a fair few Resident Evils, Dead Spaces, etc, I'd say SOMA. A jump scare is a jump scare, some of them very memorable, but SOMA is a game I genuinely still think about years after playing it as it really got under my skin. SOMA did itself a disservice by trying to ram...

  8. Borderlands 3

    I was kinda annoyed they weren't going to continue the story of the first game, because it was a surprisingly good game with some real stand-out moments. But, eh, probably for the best...

  9. Which programming language did you choose and why?

    Speaking from my own experience doing OOP, I think the danger is that it becomes very easy to focus on paradigm itself and not the problem at hand. It is either trying to lock-in some upfront unchangable object pattern for a problem you don't fully understand yet; or simply churning out new...

  10. Rance Series

    Am I reading this right? Alicesoft are looking to publish Evenicle 2 to steam directly and not involve MangaGamer at all...? Interesting. Wonder if this means existing Rance deals are still go...

  11. Cyberpunk 2077 Pre-Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

    An immersive game where at any moment the illusion can be shattered by meeting a character based on a real life douchetuber or "influencer". Total cringe. Can't wait until the inevitable sexual assault allegations and patch drama though.

  12. The Last Of Us 2 - now with protagonist-murdering trannies

    After watching the majority of the cutscenes, this game makes Manhunt look like harmless fun. Spend 10 hours as Ellie hunting down and slaughtering the people that killed Joel (including a pregnant women), who are given very little character development at the time. Then it's another 10 hours...

  13. The Last Of Us 2 - now with protagonist-murdering trannies

    Brutal gore and violence. Check. Subverted Expectations. Check. Shades of grey morality. No goodies no baddies. Just nihilism. Check. Ending that leaves you wondering what was the fucking point due to the combination of the above. Kinda looks like it. This game has been in development for...

  14. The Last Of Us 2 - now with protagonist-murdering trannies

    Going on the plot synopsis and level list, at a guess I'd say there is barely a 5-6 hour game here. One hour for every year of development hell lol. From indefinite hold to release in a month and half? Sony is cutting their losses and running. It will still sell decent numbers, but I'd say the...

  15. XCOM: Chimera Squad - humans and aliens team up

    So does this actually set up anything in regards to XCOM 3?
