I didn’t realize they’d been out for 4 years already. I could have sworn it was just hitting like 2

…at what point did I write off Skyrim?

20 minutes is enough to get an idea if a game is going to be fun or not.

Which is weird they’re STILL having these problems, anyway. If you watch any of those making of Halo docs, it comes across like it was a fluke those games ever got released in one piece. Every time.

This is where I point out that being able to retain the context of the conversation is helpful. I specified AAA titles. There being thousands of indie games of varying quality out there doesn’t change the fact that AAA games are taking years to release, there’s been a huge amount of publisher consolidation which always leads to studio closures, and them pushing these remakes/remasters is only adding to the staleness facing AAA

And your entire second paragraph is completely irrelevant to my point.

Given that NEW games are taking longer and longer to make. Remakes coming out at the same rate as always is a problem.

It’s all they do now. Copy paste Sequels and remasters.

Turns out some people want new exciting experiences and are such of the repetition. The industry focusing on these means less new stuff in an already barren wasteland of interesting games.

This is my fear. It’s already bad enough. AAA has been yeah for years now.

Man… Unity really went to shit in the last decade.

So not Titanfall 3 like the rumors had hinted at being worked on…

These people also care more about what happens to fictional people than what happens to real people.

They want to restrict access to virtual guns, but actively fight any efforts to restrict access to real ones. It’s so dumb

It’s not a mistake when one of the upper management guys was ranting about it before it happened…

That’s interesting, as the initial reviews seemed to not like it.

Maybe the publisher wanted to push it onto some other team?

Funny coming from HP, who has poured billions into making their printing experience suck. Deliberately

People said the same thing when XP came to its end of life support dropping. You overestimate how technical the average person is. Or how patient those that are technical are who just want their programs to work without hours of tinkering each time they install something

You, specifically, enjoying a …remake of a spiritual successor to a game that came out decades ago… doesn’t mean the genre is alive and kicking.

Remaking a game from a few decades back reads more as desperate than anything else. They’re relying on nostalgia for sales, not actually attracting a new audience

I clearly touched a nerve. And, just like I’d expect from someone who would overreact like this to a very neutral comment, you completely misread what I said.

…Who was asking about Myst?

Point and click has been a dead genre for like 2 decades now
