  • It honestly feels more like an appeal to talent to me. Especially to creative talent. This is an “hey we’re not so focused on technology anymore, we’re gonna be more focused on making good games. Come work for us and make something cool!” Kind of PR statement.

    In my mind they’re trying to attract community members and modders that make fan projects to come work for them.

    Immediately made me think of that UE5 fan game that’s being worked on. It’s like a spooky flood game or something? Looked kinda cool.

    They might be trying to get the people making projects like that.

    i.e. they’ll overscope because all the engine people that knew what they were capable of doing are gone. Theyll then make a game with seemingly good ideas thats buggy, non-performant, and almost certainly unfinished. They’ll then shovel that thing into the ever more slowly burning furnace of Gamepass for us Halo fans to meekly huddle around while we slowly freeze to death.





  • As for someone changing their mind at the very last minute, Nitschke said: “Once you press that button, there’s no way of going back.”

    Regardless of what your philosophical beliefs are this seems like a gigantic problem to me. You should be able to stop the process at any point before you are unconscious. Imagine having second thoughts in that thing after you hit the button. You just know you’re fucked, that you are going to die, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. Sounds fucking terrifying.






  • Yeah I don’t really get all the hate. Is it the greatest game ever? No not even a little. Is it good though? Yeah I think so. The combat isn’t all that deep but I’m mostly enjoying it for the writing and world building. It also helps that it’s a gorgeous game.

    That being said I can’t see paying full price for it. I subscribed to ubisoft + for it and plan on canceling once I’m done with it. Playing it that way makes it cheaper than a ticket to the movies but for way more hours of pretty star wars locales.
