It clearly isn’t!
A) Man has dreamt of Artificial Intelligence for decades now, often times very much realizing the capabilities (and dangers) of such technology B) AI in its current form already support business, hobbies, creative work etc. The traffic and processing power needed is constantly rising.
I feel with a such a bold (and just incorrect) statement the article cannot be much worth to read.
A) Article isn’t available
B) Before the garbage article was taken down, all it did was source an eurogamer article from 2012 when the law changes first where made
C) y’all wasting your time
Yeah, i don’t like bugs in games I pay for I guess
Everyone’s experience will be unique, especially considering bugs, but the fact that an experience can be as bad as mine is bad enough.
This is my experience with Cyberpunk 2077 in 2023:
this summer, i built a new PC specifically so that I could play the game with good, stable performance. With ray-tracing on, the game would curb-stomp my RTX 3080 (not a cheap card mind) with 30 fps in the inner city. Not great, kind of disappointing.
What followed was nothing but a never-ending stream of bugs. Feel free to sample from the smorgosbord;
night would shift to day in an instant
characters would t-pose on reload
characters would walk through cars like a tank and blow them up
npc driven cars would run through walls and cars and blow them up
ragdolls would flip out and fly out of bounds
citizens walk in circles through the streets
animated objects like cell phones would not disappear when put away and instead float around their bodies
npc driven cars would teleport forward when driven
lost count of how much clipping issues were present
All this after about 5 hours of game play. It was brutal until I could take no more. And the game play is just not that fun, even though most of the characters are interesting and the story is good.
The absolute most damning thing is that the game demands immersion, the world is built around the concept, but with a bug every 15 min throwing you out of the experience, it’s just too much.
I’m not hopeful for this DLC.
I would consider The Witcher 3 a masterpiece as well, far from a linear experience. And I love Fallout, so I know what a good turn based compat rpg is like. And few games have had me so on the edge of my seat as Xcom 2, so I know what an excellent turn based combat system is supposed to be.
BG3 just doesn’t live up to that. The polish fails it, and the combat is just not very fun. The role playing is excellent as long as the other things don’t get in the way, which it does.
I’m aware, but no, it’s not a pause since it can not be used to pause the game, for example, when in dialogue.
Most of the time, it’s not even turn based. You run around in real time, or did you forget that?
I’ve missed dialoge since I can not pause a conversation in a single player game ffs.
I’m trying to get a refund from GOG, after spending nearly a month truly working my most to love the game, to understand what makes people say Baldur’s Gate 3 is a masterpiece.
People said Read Dead Redemption 2 was a masterpiece, and I found myself in agreement. Same with Half-life 1, 2 and 3 (Alyx).
But the almost overwhelming attention to every detail and aspect of those games I cannot see in BG3. Everything from janky animations, buggy combat pathing, awful tutorials, visual glitches, the worst journal I’ve seen since Morrowind, and no pause button in 2023!!
Ironically, nothing of which this article brings up since it seems to shit on save scumming which I don’t care about, all power to the player.
You cannot argue this game is ‘bad’; the story and characters along with competently designed game play would prove that. But it’s no masterpiece to me, and I feel I fell for the the overhype from the fans who just love the franchise.
No game should be buggy, of course, but since I have access to the devkit and console, whatever breaks in game, I can fix.
Compare that to Cybepunk 2077, which is still a buggy pile of garbage, and that game I can not fix since there are no distro of tools to do so.
It’s not optimal either way, but the former I can work with and the latter I can not.
It probably will be just like every big bethesda launch title and you bet it’s going to be buggy too, but guess what, I don’t mind because I’m going to mod that sucker until it’s good enough for me.
That’s the beauty of Bethesda titles.
Capitalism sucks.
All the greatest games ever made were created in capitalistic economies so i cannot see how that is a determining factor. I don’t know what games your thinking of. Tetris?
I Sverige ligger opinionen fortfarande tungt emot ett förbud, med huvudargumentet att det inte går att göra specifika undantag för yttrandefriheten; antingen har man yttrandefrihet eller inte.
Och det är enligt mig en korrekt bedömning.
Andra sidan av opinionen menar att det går att räkna in koranbrännigar i de lagar som inte täcks av yttrandefrihet (ex. hets mot folkgrupp, förtal etc.) Jag kan se argumentet men det passar inte in i de lagar vi har i Sverige idag, och då måste nya religionslagar stiftas. Detta är dock oförenligt med Sverige som sekulär stat. Deras argumentet håller inte av det skälet enligt mig.
There’s good reason this garbage didn’t launch in the EU.
Mm, is that why Silent Hill 2 sits on ‘Overmevmingly positive’ while still plagued by serious performance issues?
The statement is simply not true; gamers are willing to swallow just about anything if sold correctly.
