i really hate this guy :(

sounds great but they’re talking about having multiple hand-crafted areas that are larger than entire regions in recent assassins creed games which means at least one of a few things

1. this game isn’t coming out for years
2. the amount of crunch needed to get this game out the door is going to be horrendous
3. the game will be huge but also insanely empty

yep, this is also 100% on the money.

pretty rough episode imo. season 1 was all over the place but felt fairly consistent. this was some real highs (all the cleonic content) and some real deep lows (everything else)

my thought process was essentially: without enormous amounts of crunch (or slave labor) to fill in these spaces, they will wind up with hand crafted-but-empty spaces if they want to launch the game on any reasonable timetable

i don’t disagree, it could probably just be its own show

in the post-no man’s sky era, “procgen” kind of has a bit of a bad rap unfortunately. as wary as i am of starfield (i don’t think it will be good), their method of using procgen for the broader world and handcrafting specific zones seems like the way to go

if you wanted to get mildly conspiratorial about it, you could say they phrased it that way to make you feel sympathy/pity for her because they don’t want you to think she did anything wrong

i definitely agree but i try to hedge my bets cuz you never know how ppl will respond to that kind of information in TYOOL 2023

isn’t the Deck also just like… better than those devices? like obviously they have more compute power and whatnot but everything i read about the ASUS one was that the extra hardware power meant nothing when everything was bogged down by Windows and other issues
