Ubisoft does not have enough new games releasing that's in good enough state to justify 7.99 per month let along 17.99 per month. I bet there are terms and trickery if people tried to do 17.99 and play games like new Prince of Persia and Avatar and then unsub. (that's my cynical side coming out, but it's ubisoft. )
Or, for ubisoft, you wait a couple month and then boom, big sale for the game released 1~2 months ago.
the day this combo no longer works is the day I don't visit youtube. Honestly if there are some alternative front end/extension that's better please let me know. I visit youtube for times like game award announcement(so trailers and official release), search for review benchmark while I want to buy PC stuff, and the rest mostly just game educational stuff from Digital Foundry and channel like PBS Space Time. I am doing the upkeeping(so tagging channel as not interested or straight blocking them), but recent generated clips are flooding Youtube like crazy. I want to have a page/frontend that only my subscribed channels and whitelist keywords to show up.
10 non-skippable ads before you play? and stop in middle of boss fight to sell you continues?
it's the "people are doing it so I won't look that bad doing it as well". This is why you should not have any "loyalty" or "we are part of a family" shit in your head cause when the chopping block is on the table they can even chop off their other hand if requested by the stock holder.
t doesn’t say more people overall use ad blockers. It says people that were already using them are now switching between different extensions. Let’s wait and see if this increases Firefox’s market share. This could be the real good outcome of all this.
That's literally the first thing after I install any new system.
I will abandon windows when the games can all be played on Linux properly.
I bought the game for science cause it was the only game so far using all major features of UE5 and is a good reference to see how they manage asset, etc to keep the game running at 60fps with provided spec.
I think it does have potential, the mechanic is tight enough(the kbm default binding is not good, needs some rebind to make the combat flow more fluid), frame pacing is smooth majority of time(you have jitter mostly when it switch between cutscenes<->game), pretty much checked all the boxes and doesn't feel lacking when playing the game.
BUT, it does have poor marketing plan and kinda bad luck in releasing window. It's a good "alt shooter game" IMO.
With how games work these days, having just the disk is pretty much useless if the publisher decides to delist or discontinue the game from platform, because:
Now let's describe the cons:
Most of time, it's the juggle of time and resource available to you, but there is still a hard limit otherwise how about demand BG3 to also run on my antique knockoff NES? Cause they are too lazy to accommodate the hardware limitation? How about my smart watch? Or someone else's smart fridge?
Don't get me wrong, what you said in some cases but most likely the devs are told to push it out instead of make the game run better(on the target platforms.) There are no secret sauce to otherwise fit a game like BG3 to previous gen consoles.
Last, if you are really good at this optimization thing the whole industry will pay good money for your skill set.
This would be a game that can survive really well if it was ported to PC and supports user server.(to host their collection of dream projects.) Instead, it probably not gonna last for very long following similar treatment to PS3's little big planet when player count taper out.
I didn't watch, someone please give a TLDW. Cause I highly suspect this is gonna just be wasting time.
funny how the article does not mention lemmy or kbin, but put in disclosure that their parent company have stakes in reddit. And the best the author can do is
If users have invested significant time in a community, it’s going to be a pain to find something amid the sea of federated upstarts that all claim to be the next best thing.
The mentioned article by Rory Mir actually mentioned lemmy and kbin, cause it's EFF. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/06/what-reddit-got-wrong
They gone viral and try to use their viral power to push as much to gain the capitals back. Yes it's not healthy and it could all go south really quickly if they don't manage it well. Viral go up and boom quickly but to sustain it is hard. You need actual good game loop and mechanics to keep player coming back for content drip.(assuming not live service game.)
