true it is charming in a way. glitches and bugs and unintended consequences are always charming, but i was mostly talking about model interaction collapse in general as a challenge to simulation creators. simulation creators want their models to interact cohesively. sometimes the model interaction collapse is funny and charming, but not always. sometimes it can make things a slog, or broken, or boring.

>>41274
I think this is a challenge that has to be solved top-level, as a design philosophy thing. Look at the recent Zelda games and how they handle things interacting through a "chemistry" system as they call it. If you start from considering how all the different pieces interact instead of designing them separately as their own systems, it keeps everything more cohesive.

The new control scheme is such unplayable dogshit, what were they thinking?

>>45178
That people who got filtered by the old control scheme would be more likely to buy the game if everything took a million clicks to do, and they were right.

The dev team at the engineering firm I worked at designed an application for the engineers to use which had a bunch of smart keyboard shortcuts, and documents outlining how to use them, and nobody uses them, instead choosing to do everything with mouse. So this is true. Also I think a lot of people never use keyboard shorcuts because they never learned how to type in school, and so, for them, keyboard shortcuts are actually slower than using the mouse, because they have to search around the keyboard for keys they can't feel out from muscle memory… another thing that's very depressing is the generational gap in designing everything around PC vs. designing everything around smartphone and tablet.

Damn it, I was about to get that game to play with my friend.

Maybe bro shouldn't have supported the imperialist russian invasion of Ukraine while ripping off a Kiyv studio 🙄

Metro 2033 also has guitar player sitting at fire.

Assassins Creed Black Flag is 2/5 woke and DEI, KEK

How about raiding the review board? There is nothing stopping us.

>Perfect game, criminally underrated and misunderstood
Um

>>45059
All they care about is owning the libs and being racist, both of which you can do in Disco Elysium.

just why?

>>44926
Why not? It's easily the most convenient for discussion between players.

Is it worth it to get one of these 8bitdo controllers over something like a ps5 controller for pc?

>>45007

only when it's not a PS controller tbh

i can make muscle memory of the button prompts but i associate the red button with O and when i see an X i think of the button in the bottom

i know where the Xbox buttons are but my brain still can still get confused in the heat of the game

>>45008
Yeah they're a fraction of the cost and they're pretty good

>>45008
I have one and it's basically the only way to have cheap controllers with more buttons than normal

>>45008
The dualsense is a garbage controller without hall effect or tmr, and it has a shit battery life. If you want a high polling rate and gyro you buy a more expensive third party controller.

>a series of games that was known to be great for satirizing, among other things, the corporate america Rockstar grew to be.
Shakedown Hawaii is a retro GTA clone that is better about this than GTA ever was.

literally every other mission is capitalist characters finding some new way to fuck up society for a quick buck

>>44993
Thanks for this

>>44822
It was always destined to happen because there's really no reason why Rockstar should be immune to the profit motive that drives the rest of corporate America.

The satire also got a lot softer as the series went on, the comic critique of America became a lot more American than that of Brits looking at the US from the outside. As in it became a lot more politicised in that really generic liberal "Late Night" way where republicans are all rednecks and democrats are all pretentious urbanites, whereas GTA 1, 2 and III scarcely mention politics at all because it's correctly treated as an irrelevancy in a blowing-up-police-helicopters Hollywood depiction of the US where the protagonist collecting prostitutes and ferrying them to a police ball, picking up stolen donkey porn and pictures of a morgue party involving the most influential businessman in the city, mincing people into dog food so someone can avoid their debts, etc are presented as reasonable jobs for a career criminal. In such a world, the trite bi-partisan politics of Washington DC simply don't matter, it's obviously not of importance in this virtual world where someone is causing enough carnage to get the frigging army after them and then escaping after repainting their car, but the question then is does it matter in the real world that still has powerful criminal gangs, mass shootings, and hookers a plenty?

>>45001
no problem :) glad you found it interesting
