Let me guess, a Live Service Always-Online Crypto game? Unfortunately, modern SEGA hasn't won me over. Except Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.

This abomination is so ugly it almost takes the crown from the Fiat Multipla and Tesla Cybertruck.

Can we talk about how cancerous PCGamer is, for a second? I want to read an article, and the screen is like 80% advertising.

There shouldn't be any problem in using AI to translate something, translation is more or less static. Its no different than someone using a calculator for mathematics equations.

Localizers will still need to check the AI output for contextual accuracy, but they will be able to complete this faster as they can essentially skip a step.

My only issue with translation currently is that localizers often go too far with the liberties they take. Its necessary to ensure people from another culture can understand what is happening. For example, in a language that has no word for "rye bread" or a saying like "you are what you eat" specifically, the localizer may substitute the closest word or phrase that conveys a meaning as close as possible to the original. What is not okay is completely altering large portions of the work because of the localizer's personal opinion. And unfortunately, because this is entirely on the localizer, no amount of AI can help prevent that. Unless translation AI can be so good that it can even understand context from the various bits of text needing to be translated. Then the developers can just use it themselves. But AI has a while to go before it gets to that point.

Sony started the $70 game increase. Nintendo is just following Sony, really.

Why didn't you include Sony in this image? They increased prices even before Nintendo.

None of that would really matter because all that matters is what is actually in the game. If Bungie deleted all that content out of the game, then as far as this lawsuit is concerned, Bungie deleted the evidence.

Dead By Daylight is kinda a fighting game, in a way, and Capcom had a crossover with it to add Rebecca Chambers into the game as a playable character in one of the two Resident Evil DLCs.

FromSoftware is not a multi-billion dollar company that has major influence on games pricing in the gaming industry, and when game prices jumped to $70 USD, Armored Core 6 released at $60 and Elden Ring Nightreign will release at $40.

Nintendo is not even close.

This was going to happen whether Trump became president or not, because Trump isn't the problem causing this, it is a way simpler problem: greed.

"They fly now?"

They're both going to be dead in less than like 2 years because they are both PvEvP Extraction Looter Shooters. Combining the top 10 playercounts on Steam in this genre adds up to only like 10k more than the peak player count of Helldivers 2, which is a PvE Extraction Shooter. This genre of game, without a PvE only mode, is dead. Its only good for streamers and content creators, because it is fun to watch someone crash out after losing gear they grinded to get for 50+ hours, but the viewers don't want to play the game because feeling that themselves is not fun.

This genre of games is basically a wet dream for toxic people. Because the PvP players know that the PvE players dont want to fight them, and take advantage of that to camp, grief, etc. What other genre of game rewards a player intentionally ruining someone else's gaming experience?

I am grateful the toxic sponge exists so I dont have to deal with those players in other games, but these development studios keeps trying to make this genre popular, and it literally can never be popular.

I'll still buy FromSoft games at full price. But only because I know they won't disappoint. And Yoko Taro's games.

But in general, it would be beneficial for more people to spend less on games.

I mean, this is Lemmy. Not exactly a paragon of avoiding spreading misinformation. But I appreciate your integrity nonetheless.

Spez would have been notified still, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he disabled or turned off notifications, even deleting them without reading them or never reading them at all. Most high profile people do that, including CEOs that use their own service or product.

Dude. Save some Goth Girls for the rest of us.

Well, to be fair, YU-NO is a Classic Japanese Adventure game, which has come to be known as Visual Novel these days. Its basically a book in comparison to other video games.

Its hard to get excited about your work if it is also your hobby, I get you there.

Thats a bit of a weird way of saying that, but I get what you mean.

For me, it has to be A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of This World YU-NO. The original PC-98 release.

Be warned, the game has very explicitly drawn and described sex scenes, some of which I found extremely disgusting, personally, but I understand it is a game from a totally different time and culture and I am not here to police any of that. Fortunately, I learned pretty early on that none of those scenes contain anything actually relevant to the story of the game, so I could just quickly click through them until the picture changed. Fair warning, if you aren't the kind of person that can overlook this, then you will probably only be focusing on the like, two parts that amount to maybe 5% of the whole game. But its pretty bad, at least in my opinion.

YU-NO took me no joke 80+ hours to beat, on a blind first playthrough. The story is about time travel, and features a very complex branching story, especially for the time the game came out. It has like 9 different endings. Basically the main character is trying to travel through time to find his father, who was a historian that disappeared one day. You get a device in a package from your father that basically acts like a Quick Save for the various timelines in the game that get created by the choices you make as a player. If you give or don't give a certain item to a certain character at a certain time, that could have consequences that put you onto a different timeline, and if you need to get to a different one then you can Quick Load back to a point you used a jewel at. As you go through each timeline, you pick up jewels that act as more Quick Save points in the story. You have to collect all the jewels to get the True Ending of the game, which literally is just a sequel game. The Epilogue of YU-NO is so fire I almost wish it was its own game, YU-NO 2. It was a twist I was not expecting, but loved.

Needless to say, that game had me hooked. And while there were a few parts that were beyond my own personal opinion of redemption, I am glad I could look past those parts to see the rest of the game. There was a remake in 2017 that IMO totally destroyed the art of the original game, which was unfortunate, but I also don't think it even censored or removed the sex scenes, so I couldn't even be happy about that. Its just an all around downgrade except that it is easier to get that in English since it is on Switch, Steam, and PS4.

For $100. No, $110. USD. Base game only (digital key only).

In my area, extremely common target for shoplifters. Like, if there isn't at least 5 attempts of shoplifting at a Ross store in a few hours, it's not a Ross store. They usually end up having to close up around here because the losses are so bad. We were down to just one, but it got turned into a TJ Maxx, which is basically the exact same thing.

They usually sell discount and cheap clothing, mostly. They ahve other stuff as well, but they mostly carry clothes.
