Day Three always has a desperate wistfulness. The halls are full of wandering people trying to come up with just one more thing they can squeeze in before they finally sit down and fall into a post-PAX sleep for 24+ hours.
For me, the day kicked off with a Warren Spector roundtable. The game was available on the floor to play and the roundtable session featured gameplay going on in the background, but the bulk of the questions went right to Spector himself, and centered on his relationship and experience with the title and Disney.
There were a lot of lines this year at PAX - and more really long lines than I remember in previous years - and many of those lines were worth the wait. Among those was Spy Party, touting 60 minutes of wait time very early in the day. Spy Party probably scared a lot of people off, too, so I can't imagine the lines if the booth wasn't nestled in the far reaches of the hall, if you weren't given a four-page pamphlet on how to play the game, if the game was more than the barest of bones in presentation. I don't want to spoil the preview here, so I'll just say that this was easily my favorite experience at the show.
Also today was Torchlight 2, and I got to ask some more questions and get into the multiplayer co-op. I managed to get myself into a pretty serious boss battle with just me and my ferret, and discovered at least one way the game has been well-tuned to cooperative play - I couldn't take this guy down alone!
Well, that's it for PAX Prime 2010, folks! I'll keep you posted on the distribution of the swag, which grew today to include some Duke Nukem 'roids and tees (pictured).
WTMG's Leo Faria: "The Switch version of Sticky Business is less of a game, and more of a very clunky and shallow creative tool with not a lot to entice players for long. The progression system is silly, the gameplay loop lacks any kind of excitemente, and the controls and interface are embarassingly bad, never taking advantage of the Switch’s touchscreen, or even giving us the bare minimum of a completely cursor-based interface. There’s just no sense of accomplishment while playing it. It’s just downright frustrating. If you really want to play Sticky Business, and come up with your sticker empire of sorts (hey, I’m not judging), just stick to the PC version."
We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.
This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.
On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.
Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...
Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken
Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.
There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods
There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.
On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.
lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.
The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.
Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.
Par for Bethesda.
LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?
The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.
A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.
tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
What a great way to spend the labor day weekend!
Sounds like you picked up some really cool swag to prize out!
Would definitely like to hear more about your time with MK :)
Did they say if Torchlight 2 will hit PS3 and 360? I'm really curious after watching people play it, it looked great aesthetically and fun as well :)
Hard to imagine a game involving the word "party" scaring anyone off. However, I do take your word for it.
