Whoof, it’s now moved to “Overwhelmingly Negative”
Reviews repeatedly mention that it is hilariously buggy, to the point where players are constantly running into visual and gameplay bugs. Also a few complaints about features being changed/removed from the first one to be more similar to popular FPS trends
Early Minecraft was made by a single person and was in development for 2 years before it released (and had a fully playable game loop even before then).
SC has $700 million dollars, hundreds of devs and still hasn’t released anything as feature rich or playable as MC in 12 years. It’s fair for people to expect more at this point
I think you’re cooking here, maybe you can get a government grant to fund this
It’s very easy to make a mechanical clone of the game if someone wanted to play it.
This is purely about greedy crypto bros trying to grift off of Flappy Bird and using legal loopholes to steal the trademark
I think this is the patent IBM is suing over
Seems to be about pre-loading ads to a user’s device. As with most software patents, it sounds like the vaguest possible wording that covers about a million things
Man, what a mess. This site was doomed to fail
Played this years ago but couldn’t quite get into it. Maybe I should try it again to see if it clicks
I love that it has its own Wikipedia article
Even after Automattic acquired it, the site continued to lose money at a rate of $30 million each year, the company’s CEO Matt Mullenweg had said.
I still wanna know what they’re spending all that money on, because I’m sure it’s not developers or even servers. The idea that they can only be profitable if they’re constantly growing their user numbers is an investor idea that’s doomed to fail eventually and why so many social media sites are crashing right now
Wait, a solo dev with no experience other than RPG Maker games is making a highly detailed first-person 3D open world tactical strategy RPG with character customization, romance options and branching narratives? Sounds a little too ambitious to be true
I still crave shooters but don’t seem to have the time for online multiplayer anymore. I want to try stuff like Ultrakill and Selaco nowadays
Does anyone really want another generic hero shooter though? It’s not like we’re at a loss for options
Better crossposting support. Web view shows you communities that something has been crossposted to and has an easy crosspost button. Would like to see the same in Sync
And then they’ll cancel anything they didn’t spam the front page with and blame it on low viewership
Boy this legally distinct gothic horror themed game that shares nothing in common with a popular Sony franchise sure looks like a fun time
Not so much as stopped feeling nostalgic for, but realizing that there weren’t as many great games available as I thought that haven’t had better successors or remakes. And for Nintendo consoles, non-Nintendo games that stand the test of time are difficult to find outside of a few franchises that usually have more modern versions on Switch.
We are just spoiled for choice these days when it comes to games, especially with indie games. And indies these days often have better UX than most mainstream games back then.
Aside from the fact that this is IGN, this amount of consolidation is really bad for the industry
Because those pages had information that wasn’t on the new pages?
Just from my own experience, WotC migrated the Magic the Gathering site to a new one, and while some articles were brought over there were a whole lot of stories, strategies and event coverage that were lost or are only available thanks to Archive.org
Is Signalis considered cyberpunk?
