My time I’d normally use for gaming has gone in to starting to learn FreeCAD, which I guess I could argue is an open world builder game.
This seems to be an unedited version of that video with sound. I don’t speak Korean so I can’t validate it against the article, but the bbc has a reputation for being credible so I’m inclined to believe it. https://youtu.be/GcUe4O_53_0
As for the organization, the only mentions I’ve found are almost all about this, with one mention of it being a think tank in South Korea, which is weirdly little information.
I hope they don’t ruin it, but I find myself cautiously optimistic.
Starfield. I know people are polarized about it, but I’m enjoying it.
Also Valheim.
It depends on what circles you’re in I suppose. But I suspect you’re right for most people that dislike it. For some of us it’s the Chromium engine it runs on, and/or the company it comes from.
Edit: So more ideological reasons. I imagine the browser itself works fine.
Oh I wouldn’t say I’m a beginner. I’ve been scripting and coding for… 20 something years. I’m just not very skilled. Stuff I write tends to be simple and small, so all I really want from my editor is auto indenting and syntax highlighting.
I think if I was trying to manage a larger project I might find use in an IDE, though perhaps it is more of a crutch.
Vim.
If I were a more competent coder I might use a bigger IDE, but for the basic stuff I do, it works great for me.
I’ve been playing Darkest Dungeon. I just reinstalled Death Stranding to test an AAA Windows title on Linux and it works so I think I’ll start that up. I feel ready for a walking simulator replay.
I’m eyeing Starfield as well, might see if I can get that running.
The current state of American capitalism is $ > anything. So yeah, I suspect we would.
Well now I have a hankering to play Factorio. There goes September, I guess!
I think this looks fun. I’ll definitely try it out when the expansion comes out.
I have this opinion of PHP. I don’t use it, and I look for alternatives when I find something that does what I want that’s written in it.
Your callout is fair though. I’m not going to switch or anything. I’m happy with my favored scripting language. But I’ll try to not be dismissive of projects that are written in PHP.
Super Mario Bros, when I learned the princess was in another castle.
Like at least a few other comments, the Last of Us sticks out. Just, the whole thing.
Not really a game mechanic by definition, but I hate forced PvP in open world/MMO style games. Even survival games, where one could argue it fits.
I won’t buy a game if they do this, so I guess in that sense the PvP is a choice.
I read it was Pokémon like and wrote it off. I’ve tried to but never enjoyed Pokémon. I grew up on jrpg’s so you’d think that was right up my alley. But I disgress…
The comments here paint a more complex story. It honestly still doesn’t seem like my type of game, but my curiosity is piqued. I’ll check it out.
