Onward isn’t licensing every single one of Microsoft’s computer peripherals. Some classics, like the Intellimouse or its modern iterations, for example, don’t make the Incase reboot list.
That sucks - the Intellimouse Pro from a few years ago was a fantastic mouse.
Because it has a library of interesting and innovative exclusives, making use of an unusual control input. Whether that makes it worth it or not is personal preference, but you can’t disagree that it offers something unique.
Because improving visuals is an easily quantifiable task, but improving gameplay requires creativity and risk-taking, neither of which are compatible with the AAA business model.
Yep, early 2000s in the UK and everyone was using MSN. I didn’t know a single person using AIM or ICQ!
Funny how this is posted to World, but it’s an exclusively American phenomenon. I’m in the UK and haven’t had to use my physical signature to pay for anything for about fifteen years, let alone something as trivial as a restaurant bill.
I think the intended use case is summarising a series of messages, not just one
I just want to know what you people are doing to your fast food over in America that is giving people diarrhoea so reliably. Every time I hear people from the US talk about places like Taco Bell, someone inevitably mentions its catastrophic effect on their stomach.
Why is that accepted as normal?!
We have Taco Bell in the UK too and it’s… fine? I eat out or order food at least once a week and I could count on one hand the number of times I’ve EVER had food poisoning, but apparently over in America it’s basically guaranteed?? What in the absolute fuck is going on over there?
Companies patent dumb ideas all the time with no real intention to develop them. No harm in mocking them for it, but I wouldn’t be ringing alarm bells unless they actually start implementing it in their vehicles.
Additional fines and, if necessary, sanctions. If you refuse to pay a fine imposed by the EU then guess what? You can’t do business in the EU any more.
So do you think this research is invalid, or are you just being snarky for the sake of it?
Such a shame NOLF is so deeply mired in rights disputes that we’ll probably never even get a digital rerelease, let alone a sequel.
It’s called a branching narrative. Most common related Steam tag for finding similar games would probably be ‘choices matter’.
TLDR: the ‘novel technique’ is PWAs
You can manually restart in OW - it’s an ability you can learn from one of the characters you meet.
In my experience, if people are going to bounce off the game it’ll come down to one (or more) of three reasons:
It’s one of my favourite games of all time, and it has good reasons for all of the above, but it’s definitely not for everyone!
And for anyone wondering, my counterpoints to the above would be:
The DC had upscaled art so the old game looked good enough on 1080p screens, plus a few new bits like character portraits.
This is a complete repainting & reanimating of the assets to 4K quality. Very different! Just compare screenshots and you’ll see.
Not to mention native console ports with crossplay multiplayer
There are prebuilt solutions in some common engines, and companies like Multiplay that will help with development and hosting, but ultimately it depends on the specific needs of each game.
What works well for one project might be overkill for another, so studios have to spend a lot of time figuring out their needs and building something bespoke for it.
Turn-based all the way for me. I need time to think about my moves!
I want to love RTS games, but I just don’t have the executive function skills needed to prioritise tasks and make decisions fast enough to do well. Single player against CPU is sometimes doable if there’s an easy mode or cheats, but online multiplayer is just impossible.
Because Windows doesn’t support OS-wide text formatting/manipulation like macOS does.
The system already existed in macOS so it was easy enough to plug writing tools into it, but to do the same in Windows would mean completely rewriting how Windows handles text display and editing (and no doubt causing an avalanche of compatibility issues with old apps).
