Can't say I'm surprised but
man
Developers aspiring to be the next break-out hit gotta learn to get their games into players hands ASAP, you can't expect players to drop their favorite game to start playing yours.

This "too big to fail" attitude makes for a great cautionary tale though 🫀

I hope they sunset the xbox like "Hey guys, your xbox is just a pc now, you can play online for free and stuff"
Yeah, that'd be cool πŸ₯²

IIRC I not only pre-rendered the background, but rendered the light probes in blender so the realtime models would have lighting to match the scene

This was very naΓ―ve of me, I know there's no one way to save xbox, I just wish the console space wasn't so shit right now, I miss when game companies actually cared about gaming

Yeah, it's a shame too cuz now Sony is just going to do whatever they want in the console space and people will just act like it's good enough since they'll be the only home console around not including Nintendo

Maybe this is a good thing? Probably not.
I know I'll eat my words sooner rather than later BUT maybe a shake up is just what xbox needs, even though I have lost all faith in how they've managed the xbox ecosystem but I guess we'll just have to wait and see πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

The home feature is definitely nice for people who are attached to their pokΓ©mon but everything else is so bare bones, literally zero quality of life features added πŸ˜“

20 Dollars for 20+ year old monster collecting game is borderline criminal, every release has been so cynical to the point they just give their fans the bare minimum to see what they can get away with 😞
On a side note emulating GBA is incredibly easy and roms are still easy to find

Counselor: These feelings of "everything sucks," how long have you had them?

Butt-head: Uhh, since everything started to suck, I guess.

Gaming visual have kinda plateaued anyway, lateral thinking with withered technology is the only way the big 3 are going to push through times where hardware is outrageously expensive/scarce, maybe this way games will be optimized for current hardware

Mob mentality is ruining game dev careers...
I get this is something no one asked for, but this kind of thing is so toxic its burying games before they're even released

Maybe it's to keep the game relevant for longer? Dead Cells is still a game people talk about and it's the kind of game the devs can just keep adding to it, might be better for it in the long run, but definitely would've enjoyed a typical Castlevania game, still excited though 😬

It's a generation where Fortnite has been around most of their lives, can't say I expect much from them, but it's not their fault for missing out on all the most significant tech/gameplay innovations

Por anos os nerdolas culpando as "muiΓ© de cabelo colorido" de estragar os joguinhos deles, e na verdade quem estava estragando o tempo inteiro era a gangue dos pedΓ³filos e seus amigos.
De microtransaΓ§Γ΅es a radicalizaΓ§Γ£o de gamers.
E muita gente ainda minimizando o que foi o Gamergate e seus efeitos.

Remember when games didn't cost the GDP of a small country to make?
