I dont think any will reach the heights of GTA SA Bigfoot, and the 17th colossus

I think everything after the PS2 era killed most urban game myths. People spent more than a decade alone in SoTC, now it's all just a group of annoying YouTubers making clickbait and doubling down on things in or about to be put in that are actually completely false and never were or will be put in. SoTC is still going strong! There's a even a fan remake happening

There is a majoras mask one that is pretty creepy

Talks about PS2 being part of weapons of mass destruction but uses a Dualshock 4 controller for a PS4 as a picture. The Aerith story I have never heard of I remember wiping my game and starting over but she still dies. Only way I know of her staying in the party was with a gameshark she could still fight but couldn't wear new armour and use new weapons and she couldn't level up and she stopped talking. The Polybius story I heard when I watched the AVGN he went to a warehouse that had the cabinet.

F*** AI

"Hey Copilot, what's a good meme to prove I dislike AI".... https://giphy.com/clips/sou...

Two trillion dollar company that just can't wait to put as many people possible out of work as fast as possible.

It feels like every single thing they do is making gaming worse and destroying the industry.

....you know it takes people to program the AI.... right? It isnt like it is sentient. We haven't reach skynet level of situation or anywhere close to the matrix just yet.

That's next Thursday.

Einhander197212d ago (Edited 12d ago )

It takes a people to program the AI then that AI is used for who knows how many games eliminating countless jobs which only grows as AI is used for more and more game creation functions.

What you're saying is so ridiculously short sighted and truly larking any kind of understanding and foresight.

Why all the hate? Im actually excited about this! Always wanted this kind of immersion, and an AI companion with me all the time helping me out knowing the status of my skills/inventory/progress and giving me tips on the best approach or how to craft something specific is game changing for the industry.

Hate all you want about AI, but this is just the start and I can see the potential already. You wont be complaining in the next 5-10 years about this, but rather complain if a game hasn’t implemented it.

Yes we can't wait for the work of others to be used without the need to pay them so that MS can profit even more from the people they fire.

I_am_Batman13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

There is no chance I'd ever use something like this, especially if it's not part of the core game design, but a layer on top of it. It's way too much handholding. Many games already feel like busy work, because they don't let the player figure things out on their own. Having a real-time interactive guide defeats the purpose of playing the game in the first place in my opinion.

If this were to become the standard like you predict, we'll see more and more video games get away with bad design, because people will just be used to ask for help from the AI companion anyway.

Number1TailzFan13d ago

Well Nintendo don't need this with some of their games these days, with invincible characters, items, easy bosses etc.. they do the hand holding built in

helicoptergirl13d ago

Takes "hand holding" in games to a whole new level.

1 major advantage to this will be launching it straight from SteamVR. You have to make a custom shortcut to get it working right now in VR.

UltimateOwnage15d ago

This is good news. It will be much easier to get it installed on my devices without using workarounds.
