@xyfdi cryengine halo
@Witch_Hunter_Siegfried @Nudhul Oh gawd, yes please. Just to piss of Tim Sweeney
@xyfdi then the indie stuff is all derivative slop and the Japanese stuff is all derivative action RPGs with the same wannabe hoyoverse art style. There has just been a massive global nuking of taste so any fundamental design principles of art (in video games case concepts like depth vs breadth, tension curves, Nishikado rhythm, replay ability, designing for high level play) all just completely so people are left with a vague idea that something is wrong but the lack of taste means they can’t appreciate the classics to understand it.
@xyfdi too bad many indie games are shit like "here's this cute animal game also something about capitalism and shieet"
ひげ
@branman65 @sendpaws @xyfdi I was just about to say that lmao, or all of the shitty ps1 style horror games that are extremely broken but have like 1 scary gimmick moment so they're sold for $2 as streamer bait.
@beardalaxy @sendpaws @xyfdi ps1 stuff is the le pixelart indie game of the 2020s

@All_bonesJones @xyfdi @sendpaws Is that PS1 Hagrid?
@xyfdi I've felt zero desire to upgrade my PC at all to play the new games that release now. everything plays and looks worse yet requires me to get a $500+ upgrade to play lmao . I would rather keep the money in my savings account doing nothing
@xyfdi Can't wait to see it posted to fitgirl
@Marshall1Banana @xyfdi Yar har, fiddle de dee.
@xyfdi "Man, I wish there was a good combo building combat game..."

@nobullyplz @xyfdi been wanting to play this for forever
@coolboymew @nobullyplz @xyfdi we used to play split screen halo at my church youth group on two networked xboxes on two side by side big screen tv setups it was so sick and we always played Blood Gulch
@olmitch @nobullyplz @xyfdi I did once or twice at a friends house. I had never played before and modern FPS weren't my thing so I sucked at it lol
I was doing quite decently at UT99 on Dreamcast though, I had played that plenty on PC already

@coolboymew @nobullyplz @xyfdi INTERESTING INFORMATION RECEIVED https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_iVeG_dFk4
@coolboymew @nobullyplz @xyfdi Goldeneye X was a rom hack for Perfect Dark and now it runs on the Perfect Dark PC port I'm hyped. Look at that demo
@xyfdi "How does spending 50m dollars on ray tracing improve the player's gameplay experience?"
"Gameplay?"
"Gameplay?"
@Homosoypiens @xyfdi Is that how much it costs to use Unreal Engine?
@WhitestTemplar @Homosoypiens It depends. Switching to Unreal as a big studio, for sure. Updating from v4 to v5, most likely not.
@xyfdi @WhitestTemplar Ya was just making up a number but I assume the vast majority of the budget of modern AAA games is either ludicrous graphical development or legions of middle management troons/women
They certainly aren't spending it on gameplay and enemy AI breakthroughs and nearly no actual QA testing is done these days before launch

This. Have you seen the pictures of modern "dev teams" it's like 90% women, which means that they do basically nothing and a couple of the actual men and maybe even troons are doing the actual heavy lifting.
