And that's - and he mentions this as well - is why indies often come up with the better game today. There is a lot of trash and it falls on you to separate it out since - like he also mentions - the professional critics have just become toothless tigers.
OOF! That's harhs man. I don't think I'd come back either. Guess just wait for Beth to release some DLC's and for some bigger mods that will enhance the game enough to spark your interest?
Double click any module in ship editor to highlight the entire ship, then hit the Change Colour button and have at it
You'll have to shout...couldn't hear you over the loudness of that ship paint
It think roots just said I need to double click in editor and hit the orange colour button.You'll have to shout...couldn't hear you over the loudness of that ship paint
It's also the managers fault, the moment someone ask for 4 weeks to write a few lines of code or anything simple to do, the response should be then i can't use you, go to HR and complete your departure from the company. When I heard this and he explained the discussion he had I wonder, why even discuss it? what should be discussed is the programmers workload, was this the straw that broke the camels back or why does he need 4 weeks for a job that will take 5 min?
The safe in your room has infinite storage the only problem is that it's not connected to you, like the ship cargo bay.
That's exactly what the mod does
That is a personal episode from his subjective view. Whether that can be generalised I can't say. I can observe, however how triple A and the market tends to stick to known and proven formulas and apply them again and again. "Call of Duty XXVII", Renegade Hero 66, Gumshoe 2011 Remastered. They do everything but develop new games - just rerun the old ones. The risk takers have become exceedingly rare. It's not just games, it's entertainment in general: Music has become increasingly simplistic, movies rerun countless iterations of old comic stories. Once they run dry, people have long had their fill with it. Cut movies to pieces, increase the cadence of cuts, add flashbang, wow.
There is no creativity in the entertainment industry these days, sometimes we get a gem but it's far and between, when did we last see a good movie where the goal was to tell a good story and not lecture people, same in the game industry, I mean SF is full of high horse lecture just take your companions Jesus it's like having a school teacher with you, they all have the same moral codex. then the Gem CP2077 where the story telling is much much better and about telling a good story.
True, mainstream, but that's where the money is unfortunately. CDPR is a company you really look at and respect, what they did 3 years ago was not good but they redeem themselves 100% what we got now is really good and the new DLC is getting a lot of praise. I just started a new game and it's like playing a new game with 2.0mainstream*
I'd say
Sadly so. Probably also part of the reason why initaitive's like FDEV's Foundry, which aim to bring the indie stuff to broader audience, often fail or just don't really spread their wings
Where there is money there is risk aversion. Public companies are very risk averse in general.Sadly so. Probably also part of the reason why initaitive's like FDEV's Foundry, which aim to bring the indie stuff to broader audience, often fail or just don't really spread their wings
But indie stuff can be amazing and very creative, and I'm not only talking about gaming either.
no not in story telling but as a game it's a gem or at least today it's one of the best Action RPG's you can play. However the story is not bad, good enough to keep you interested, and the side quests are pretty good like the AI Taxi story was an interesting twist, in SF the stories are not above average.
Look at Disney, they wasted billions and ruined SW and Indiana Jones, because of poor writing, pushing agendas no one want and that leads to failure.
