  • No.

    • Warren Spector's newly solo-friendly stealth game Thick as Thieves will launch as a four-hour "introductory campaign" that only costs a fiver

    Jump

  • The problem with any stealth game is that the computer has to know where you are for the game itself to work on a few levels. To play chess or any kind of game with a computer, the computer has to dumb itself down for your benefit.

    That doesn't really make any sense. Of course the game engine has to know where the player is, but that doesn't mean it actually factors into the decision-making of enemy AI. Whether you're behind them or not should not affect when they decide to turn around. It's not like a parent pretending not to see their badly-hidden child while 'coincidentally' moving towards their hiding spot, GTA 5 does this when cops are searching for you, it's extremely obvious and it sucks. I've never experienced a stealth game that does the same.

  • It sounds like they've been falling for quite a while now. Are they getting closer to the ground at all or is this some sort of orbit kind of situation?

    • RoboCache the "first decentralized video game distribution and resale platform using the block-chain" shut down in 30 days. Purchases will be lost even if downloaded previously.

    Jump

  • Funny how a "decentralized" platform can be shut down just like that. Does the word even mean anything at all?

    • Can China just steal America’s AI brain that’s costing trillions to develop?

    Jump

  • Some of the terms that have been coined to describe stuff related to AI are just so funny.

    "Prompt injection attack", also known as... asking nicely for the chatbot to do a thing.

    • World of Warcraft lead thinks the MMO will still be "kicking" in 10 years, but despite having ideas for "the very long run," Blizzard is currently focusing "on the next 5 years"

    Jump

  • Combat is 90% of the game, if those visual aid and info mods don't work in it then they might as well not exist.

    • Flotsam, an exploration city-builder where you scavenge the oceans and explore the flooded remnants of the old world with your floating colony, released on Steam.

    Jump

  • Not apart from the theme. This is a singleplayer city-builder / colony management sim, not a first-person co-op survival-crafting-basebuilding game.

    • ID photos of 70,000 users may have been leaked, Discord says

    • What prevailing theory in scientific circles do you think is likely to be replaced with a new understanding by 2050?

    Jump

  • Mathematically it is obviously not a perfect sphere, but then again I don't think such a thing exists. Not one made of matter, at least.

    • Diablo Devs Unionize Following Layoffs And Dissatisfaction With AI, Pay | Aftermath

    Jump

  • It's just a journalist thing to replace an 'and' with a comma. The devs are dissatisfied with AI and pay.

    • Would you rather stop playing a game than lower the difficulty? The First Berserker: Khazan devs reckon you would | Eurogamer

    Jump

  • I would if I could, but Dying Light didn't have that option. It also didn't have the option to let me quit a mission after I got softlocked behind a room full of bullet sponge enemies, having run out of every resource because those stay gone for good even when you die and reload.

    So yeah, I quit that game.

    Jump

  • These games can be good, but I've always felt that selling a game primarily on being "fun with friends" is an extremely weak point. Everything is fun with friends. Watching grass grow is fun with friends.

    • Gooner game of the year Stellar Blade's mods are 41% smut, ensuring gamers will never see the light of heaven

  • Would be nice if this place could refrain from sliding into reactionary conservatism even ironically.

  • any studio

    This is one with his name on it.

    Depending on how detailed the material he leaves behind is (or how detailed they want to pretend it is) they could likely still get some mileage out of it. We might end up with a Tom Clancy situation.

    • What's your time travel bucket list?

    Jump

  • I'd go back and see if I can find Jesus. See what he looked like, what he actually said at his sermons, and what happened after the crucifixion.

    • What would you do with a single use portal gun?

    Jump

  • Put portals on two boards. See what happens if I put one board through the other portal.

    • Permanently Deleted

  • I live in constant dread of the day Gaben kicks the bucket and Steam is carved up by bloodsucking profit-chasers

    • Everyone loves reading documentation, what are some of your favourites?

  • dumb user one

    Really pisses me off

    Last router I had to install had a manual that was literally only "Put this cable in this hole. Click this button. Et voila." with no explanation what any of the other buttons or slots or indicators were for.
