Kind of a stupid decision to call something pre-currency and pre-codified laws “anarcho communist”.
It’d be like calling something born before animal life “vegan” because it doesn’t eat animals.
Technically correct, maybe, but very much missing the point of the label.
Dictation software has come a long way huh
games that I really do care about and want to be able to experience on authentic hardware.
Crack the console then, ps2s have software cracks by now, and sideloading cartridges exist for a fair few portable consoles.
Basically the only one where you can’t really do it is the cartridge era stuff but those can be approximated with a decent emulator, a controller adapter and a CRT screen, if you’re willing to tolerate a bit of latency with output converters.
Games are fundamentally software, the hardware gives the experience but the cartridges/disks, with some exceptional cases aside, are literally just a delivery system and a means to maintain ownership.
It’s nice to have them for that feeling of tangible presence but realistically that’s never going to be more affordable the further we move from when they were made, but that doesn’t mean you can’t at least approximate playing on the hardware or straight up just do it.
they’re just screwing us out of possible remakes
Bro don’t make me like them T~T
Very small font on very thin paper.
Here’s to a multi-year long process to port the campaigns from BG1 and 2 into 3.
I love that this comes out of Dragon age’s dev team, as if they weren’t part of the reason why people started being so aware of reuse and just general laziness.
Also, nobody cares about reuse, we care about reuse that makes the game worse.
The fact that dragon age 2 had 6 dungeon tilesets they reused super lazily with a very mediocre random generation algorithm and they got shat on for it doesn’t mean all reuse is bad, it means the ratio of content to playtime has to be higher than whatever that fucking was.
But most of all, going from a completely bespoke, no repetitive side quests, all killer no filler CRPG to whatever the fuck DA2 thought it was going to be? Step down, no matter how much of it would have been original assets, it was just worse design and a lower overall level of craftsmanship. I could throw that gameplay loop together in a day of work, it’s just not interesting.
Tbf most could do it for cheaper with a dartboard and some post-its
Wasn’t one of the Witcher 3 expansions already either nominated or even a winner a few years back?
