How do I read the Pms I have sent to other people? I can only see the ones I received

Can't. You have to elect to save it when you write it. Checkbox at the bottom edge of the entry field. Didn't do that? They're gonezo.

You have to make sure your account actually saves sent PMs, which I don't think is the default setting. If you do that, there should be a sent tab.

Press Start, then press B. Move the map cursor to the far side of the screen but don't click on the icon.
Instead press select. Use a large potion, equip a small shield and cast fire. (in that order)

Now when you return to the game you will have recovered all your PM's.

UNIONIZE

the international revolution coming about because of video games

but if they all unionize how will we punish them for hosting an AMA on 8chan?

VIDEO GAMES

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Not say, Blizzard?

Blizzard moving their back catalogue to GOG and not the BNet Launcher raised an eyebrow for me as to just how healthy that ActiBlizz merger is panning out

[benjipwns]

Not at all.

Remember when Nirvana showed up with Teen Spirit and the music industry changed overnight?

Think of any random Motley Crue big stage live video released only months earlier. All the explosions, lights & pyrotechnics. All that glamour & bluff.

Then look at Pearl Jam's first videos Evenflow & Alive. Just 5 dudes on a stage wearing street clothes with zero to no stage production.

If AAA buckles under the weight of it's increasing budgets games will still be around. They'll just be stripped down. And hopefully more interesting than generic AAA templates.

i hope your parents regret having you

Deep down I think almost everyone's parents regret having them to some degree.

why did bork close the 90's thread, stupid evil bork

ResetERA.com, the world's most influential video game forum:

I mean, she's absolutely right.

RDR2 is the extreme example but it's the archetype. It's estimated that 3000 people worked on it for 8 years, and though Rockstar may never reveal what it cost to make, one calculation put it somewhere between 700 million and 1 billion. This is to say nothing of the serious concerns about employee treatment that have been raised against them.

Just try to process these numbers. Something needs to change.

Reality:

Red Dead Redemption 2 had the largest opening weekend in the history of entertainment, making over $725 million in revenue in three days, and over 17 million copies shipped in total in two weeks

  something like 70% marketshare and missing many of the biggest titles like LoL, WoW and Diablo, do not support evil monopoly

100% of Windows games being on MS Windows, 99% of all PC gaming being Windows based, I don't see the problem, whats a monopoly?

[benjipwns]

Next gen I'd be happy if developers simply used the additional power to improve resolution and framerates. That doesn't cost anything.

Video games need to get smaller or we need to start compromising on graphics tech, because it’s fucking stupid that video games are so cost-prohibitive to produce. I don’t need ray shaders and individual hair follicles. Give me AAA games that look like PS2 games.

I know I'll probably get a ton of hatred for this, but... I don't understand why a really talented creative at this point would want to work on AAA titles for (most) AAA publishers. Most of the current AAA games seem to become GAAS titles, most of the time you'll have to implement Microtransactions or Lootboxes, most of the time you'll be VERY limited as to what you'll be able to do creatively since publishers (rightfully so) are scared to take too many risks on a 70-150m USD production and worst of all, most of the time YOUR creative input will be very much diluted since there are literally hundreds of people working on the product.

If this wouldn't be gaming, but cooking, It kinda feels like there are almost no high class restaurants anymore and now working in the AAA space feels more like running a McDonalds - No risk, do the same thing everyone else does (aka, follow the recent trend that makes money), really just worry about making as much money as possible and don't even try to be creative cause higher ups are scared to take risks.

Granted, there are exceptions on the publisher side, but these exceptions seem to become fewer and fewer.

So why would a REALLY talented person sign up for that? Especially since a lot of these AAA games are 3, 4, 5+ years in production, which is a long time to commit to something in your life.

We've been pretty lucky at Moon Studios that we now get to choose what titles we wanna make, we usually get full creative freedom and our partners usually trust us to know what we're doing. Granted, our budgets are a lot lower than what AAA Studios get, but it feels amazing that we can do what we really want to do and aren't stifled creatively. So I dunno, maybe it's too daunting for experienced AAA folks to start fresh with a new team? I just know I wouldn't be up for that ride, I'd rather make smaller stuff where I can make my own luck purely by how well I'm doing as a creative.

When’s eshop game #3

[benjipwns]

AAA development has been unsustainable for years. Games cost too much to produce, and consumers will not pay more than $60.

The solution is not to keep experimenting with unwanted and insulting post-purchase monetization methods. Instead of trying sneaky ways to raise revenues, publishers need to lower their expenses. Cut bloated game budgets. Make AAA into "AA+". You don't need to be cutting-edge in visuals, scope, and technology, all in one project, every project. Hell will not freeze over if you stop trying to do this. Consumers will still buy. And, less absurd expectations means less absurd workloads, and less crunch. Everybody wins if the people making decisions just come to their senses.

SPOILER
Nintendo realized this 20 years ago, btw...

start a petition!

[benjipwns]

all the posts going "AAA development has been unsustainable for decades upon decades!" are killing me

[james]

Benji, in all seriousness, Nintendo is the only developer who does a good job at creating A and AA games.

Look at the new Tetris 99 phenomenon. It likely took 3 guys half a week to put that together.

And the Pokemon games are running on an engine that was built for the DS 15 years ago

He’s the creative director, I’m sure he had no influence on the game /s

Here’s a bonus: You’d also be supporting THQ Nordic who employs people who thinks 8ch, a site delisted from google for hosting child pornography and is hotbed of pedophiles, is an acceptable community to engage with and normalize.

OK. I'm also greatly looking forward to Biomutant, published by the same motley crew, and The Last Night, whose main creator probably ruffles your feathers as well. Is there any other way I can upset you today?
