It’s been at least 20 years since video game “journalists” or “critics” were actually honest. Companies will blacklist anyone that doesn’t write a positive review for their games, so everything published before or on release day is advertising.
If you want honest reviews you need to wait 24-48 hours after release for real reviews. If you actually want opinions from those that completed a game you need to wait even longer.
They did change it in the remaster from thiccccc to just thicc
Treating the people who buy a game as the criminals isn’t ever a positive.
There’s just too many edge cases in VR for it to be a real platform. Movement is hard, there needs to be a lot of space around a person, form factors aren’t great for the hardware, there’s more graphical requirements, etc.
It means nothing, the engine wasn’t keeping Halo exclusive.
Ubisoft has to appear bankrupt for MS to be able to buy them, they’ve done a good job so far.
343 is just a MS studio that they gave Halo to after Bungie made the good ones. Anyone important to making Halo what it was is long gone.
There are many totally automated ports outside the US, unions have fought to keep the US in the stone age as far as ports are concerned. The first automated port was opened in 93.
Calling it unilateral restraint is absurd though. It’s like bragging about cutting out Coke from your diet while drinking a Pepsi.
That’s a weird statement for a country that’s been actively supporting multiple militias in the region for decades.
Your assuming those involved are remotely rational. Once you get to the point where someone is willing to kill themselves to kill others it doesn’t really matter about anyone else’s strength and resolve.
It’s overstated because this age is the end of ignorance. We now know about events from everywhere around the world almost instantly. At a global level something terrible is always happening. Even just 30 years ago that wasn’t really the case, things still happened but it wasn’t as widely known. Humans haven’t learned how to process information across a global scope, which leads to increased panic and uncertainty.
It may have got mentioned in passing in relation to the nukes, but most people only remember those.
3.5% or 5% of nothing still doesn’t move the needle.
The middle east only spirals to a world war if other countries start their own shit hoping that the existing conflict is too distracting. The US putting boots on the ground in the middle east is a great chance for China to start shit in Taiwan or south Korea.
The saving grace is there aren’t that many countries that can escalate anything global besides the US and China. Russia seems fully occupied in Ukraine, and Europe is still a joke for military power currently.
Unions have limited leverage, using it to stop automation is like fighting the tide. They should be arguing for training for positions running the automated cranes, priority in hiring for new positions, job placement assistance, tuition reimbursement, or other things to help employees.
AI has already been getting used increasingly on even quality movies. The good parts get renamed like ADR.
Letting the tools run wild will lead to bad results, that doesn’t mean they don’t have a place in future productions.
Non-state militias attacking a country is infinite casus belli for a state to retaliate.
Lots of people just hate stylized graphics. I don’t really understand the hate, as they tend to be more timeless than more realistic styles. Also it’s a weird statement from someone representing a franchise with multiple stylized aliens.
