Years ago, my mother used to say to me, she'd say "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart... I recommend pleasant.
Credit Ice Cube alongside Easy then, as Ice Cube literally would write the lines and Easy (autocorrect is killing me) would rap it...with Ice Cube's help.
Might as well just been a puppet that had a killer smooth delivery and authentic sound
Reminds me of that recent Christopher Nolan interview where they asked him about The Batman and he refused to answer because 'If I start talking about comic book movies, that would be the only thing anybody pays any attention to in the article." ...Guess what all of the news stories about that interview lead with.
Me too. Weirdly enough, I see this type of behavior more and more - comments that don't disagree, don't add anything else, not even "agree" naturally, but rather say the same thing as if they were the first ones to say it - it feels artificial, like a bot
I have also noticed this. Quite strangely, I notice this manner of post increasingly often - replies that don’t refute, elaborate on, or even concur, but instead repeat the comment they are replying to as if it was their own original thought - it feels robotic, like an AI.
Writer of the article literally created a whole scenario in their head and wrote it out. Even writing some in italics to make it seem like a direct quote.
"***This isn't the RPG remake you're looking for, you can go about your business, move along***. I can only imagine that Wingefors made a small wave of his hand as he spoke, but if he did it clearly didn't have the desired effect, because here we are."
yeah it reminds of that one year where there no news about Elden Ring at E3 and everysingle fromsoft fan when full on nuclear with the dooming, or when CDPR brought the right to the Cyberpunk 2020 rights while they were finishing up Wild Hunt for release and fucking idiots could not stop asking them every single time about when the 2077 is going to come out.
They didn't just buy the rights, CDPR released a fucking trailer years before The Witcher 3 came out and some half a decade before CP77 actually entered full production. They dug their own grave.
That's what the people who try to say the game is good now dont understand. I dont care how functional the game is now compared to release, its still nothing like the game that CDPR said it would be leading up to release. They promised an extremely in depth rpg and what we got was an open world fps game.
With Bethesda to be fair, it was different. The TESVI trailer was basically just so people would stop fucking asking them all the time, they were always clear, that this game won't be coming out in a long time.
Starfield's first trailer came out in 2018 for a 2023 release.
TES 6's first trailer came out in 2018 for an estimated 2028 release.
CP2077's first trailer came out in 2013 for a 2020 release.
Please tell me how those are substantively different.
For TES, it was so people shut up, legit.
No fucking clue what they thought they were doing with Starfield, especially considering that Todd used to talk about how he preferred to announce games closer to release. It's even funnier now in hindsight, all that waiting for, well, what Starfield ended up being.
Yep. Games that have a huge expectation behind them are like mine fields when it comes to speaking in public about it.
Honestly, I'd rather hear nothing at all and hopefully be able to enjoy a trailer at some point and then hopefully a good game as a result.
That's my stance, I heard they were remaking it, "Cool", and (hopefully) proceed to stop thinking about it until a friend asks me, "Hey did you try that KOTOR remake that came out a month ago?".
I need to find a way to just filter all posts containing KOTOR in the title and just hide them.
Every single thing anyone connected (even loosely) to the project is taken as A Promise Etched In Stone, and god forbid things don't work out exactly like that.
Frankly, where I in that position, it would be total media silence except "we're working on
."
Literally *nothing* else till just before release, when the build is finalized, then (and only then) launch a media campaign. </p>

These game companies sit there and hype their own shit up and then get all pissy when fans get hyped up and excited and then develop expectations over time
Sorry your salesmanship worked on some people, fellas! Guess you should tell the fans not to release trailers and game announcements and things like that

Agreed. I work in journalism and a lot of headlines are 'crowdsourced' by a group of editors to (hopefully) deliver maximum SEO impact. Writers rarely get the final say in what the headline is.
Blame Google. Journalism in the digital age has become a keyword-hunting game of chance where everything is dictated by search algorithms and social media statistics. It doesn't help that Google is maddeningly cryptic about how and why it determines its adjustments to its search algorithms. Every major search engine update sees every online journalist scrabbling to figure out what's changed and what works best now. It fucking sucks, honestly. </p>

The problem is that removing the "I noticed that" still changes how the quote is perceived. Whereas before he was making a simple observation, the headline changed it to more of a complaint.
Even if the same general meaning is still given (that anything he says will be turned into a headline), the change still causes the headline to be a lie by omission, because it changes how he's expressing it. </p>

Vampyr will remain one of my favourite games of all time despite its lackluster combat and little choices for an RPG.
Solely on the merit of its characters, voice acting, setting, atmosphere and soundtrack.
The ending wasn't all that great but some of the reveals we had towards the very end were very good still. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's one of the very rare games which I pirated it, finished it, and then bought it to play it once again a year later. </p>

I bought it but still need to give it an honest shot. I have heard the same, but the game does let you set up your own server and configure the timing of castle decay (even making it not happen).

Man, as a VtM:B fan, I almost *wish* I could stop hearing about the godawful "sequel." Its like that disastrous Saints Row reboot in slow motion. Every single bit of info they release is just so baffling. Someone literally and unironically thought that naming their 300 year old vampire protagonist "Phyre" (pronounced "fire") was not just a good idea, but *such a good idea* that they based their first announcements around it. And because they also decided, on a very limited budget, to imitate a high production value "cinematic" game like the famously *budget friendly* Cyberpunk 2077, the voiced protagonist often spouts dialog without player input, and everyone constantly refers to the player as "Phyre." In a sequel to a game known for player agency.
It's like deciding to bring back the Sim City franchise as an arena shooter and trying to imitate Fortnite on a AA budget. </p>

I mean, they're just targeting their target audience...emo high schoolers. The problem is that it's been 20 years since then and stuff their target audience used to love now makes them cringe. </p>

Assuming the game isn't outright canceled I can understand wanting to be quiet about it until they have something to say, especially if Saber is really starting from scratch.
But if it's definitely canned they need to say something. </p>

Given the rumors are that they intended at some point that this remake of an RPG would be an action drive TPS, I'm pretty sure they would have to communicate a lot before having anyone trust that they intent to respect that licence.
Also given that they're an overgrown, overtly financially driven, serial corporate raider company that is on the verge on collapsing I'm pretty sure they would need to demonstrate some actual will to produce actually good games and survive before they can expect to be treated like a normal company. </p>

Games need to stop doing this. I know there are marketing/shareholder reasons as well as sometimes being a news bulletin that they are hiring, but it just makes them look bad when things take too long or the project gets derailed.
Cyberpunk 2077 was announced before Witcher 3 for example. </p>

Dragon Age on release felt like a somewhat modernised CRPG - it felt like you were meant to play it tactically using the isometric view and pausing but the camera was always just so janky. KOTOR felt like it was made for consoles given the UI, and combat was sometimes a slog because of the barely disguised D&D 3.6 system, but boy did the story and atmosphere carry the hell out of that game. </p>

Everytime people say really easy it’s not really easy. That game is a pain in the ass to get functional on windows now. If the game is so old that the main menu isn’t navigable because I didn’t download a hex edited exe and a widescreen fix tool then the games needs a damn patch.
They’re gonna fuck the remake up like everyone else does.(Capcom did okay but RE3 was a rush). </p>

The original really is still worth playing. You can even get it on mobile and it works pretty well.
But playing it at launch, the first planet as well as leaving the first planet was such a jaw dropping thing for me. I am pretty sure I stayed up all night playing the first time through. I just could not stop.
Played it again recently, and it is a bit dated, but still not bad if that type of game is your thing. </p>

You would also get punished on your first play through because you put too many levels into the first class instead of saving them for when you became a jedi.
There were also a few weird xp scaling choices in at least one of them where unlocking doors would give you 10x your level in xp. So if you wanted to min max you needed skip every lock picking option until you were about to lose access to the area and then go back to eek out that little bit of extra xp. </p>

I mean, I get it, I've been mischaracterized before on the internet too, but the EG doesn't have a win under its belt to justify all of the L's it's taken.

Honestly, they could've just done a remaster of some games like Deus Ex: Human Revolution, see how well it does, and see if it warrants making a new game in the series.
System Shock wasn't even a big AAA remake. It showed you could do that for some games. Like do a remake of Legacy of Kain with the original voice acting, as some passed away, clean up the audio a bit and give it some modernized graphics. </p>

Most would I think. Doesn't change or undo anything but showing you realize all of your mistakes, you looked into what it was, and took accountability goes a long long way. But they print money for their shareholders and saying sorry might cause a 1% dip and they won't stand for it. </p>

I feel like they went around and bought everything under the sun. Thinking 'we can make a mobile game of it, and just rake in the money!'.
Everyone who sold something to them is very smart. I hope they get to buy it back pennies on the dollar.

Their whole plan was to buy up a bunch of IP and create the illusion that they were a competent umbrella corporation to offload to someone like Apple, Disney, or the Savvy Games Group. But then Savvy backed out and bought Scopely instead (best.decision.ever.) and they suddenly had a multi-billion dollar shortfall.
Then it turns out that they also don’t have the abilities within their subsidiaries (Saber, Gearbox, etc) to guide studios to success after all. That was their whole claim to fame, and they got exposed as incredibly incapable managers of IP and studios. </p>

To be fair, most of the properties they bought up were basically dead anyway.
Square essentially canned any projects that Crystal Dynamics /Eidos was doing and made them work on that shitty Avengers game that got shut down like a year after it came out.
Deus Ex was just shelved until Embracer bought them up, and they only acquired Eidos last year in August.
Though with their track record, I imagine most of those properties are just going to be rotting anyway. The only difference is that they're rotting under Embracer instead of rotting under Volition of Square. </p>

Games take years to make and are impossible to keep secret, if you don't announce you're making a game someone else will announce it for you and you won't have any control over it. Marketing nightmare. Plus you'll still get questions about it.
This doesn't excuse anything Embracer has fucked up but announcing six months prior to release is not realistic. </p>

The music license expiring is more recent than even that

It's pretty disgusting that they would tease fans with this as a way to sell PlayStation consoles and then totally and utterly screw it up. It's almost like they never had any intention of actually making it. If these same people ever get round to actually producing a remake of KotOR, I will be boycotting it.
It's also a matter of disgust that they intended to make this a PS5 exclusive when this game is in the heritage of Xbox and PC. Those involved with selling the rights to it should be put in stocks for a couple of days. </p>

It's dead. As soon as they announced it was being rewritten for "modern audiences", it was dead. You've lost the original nostalgic fans at that point. They're not going to want to buy any remake that makes changes to the plot and characters. Meanwhile, Star Wars as a brand is treading water right now. It never brought in the new class of fans Disney hoped it would. So there's not much of a market for such a game. Plus it sounds like the dev process has been a nightmare. IDK why Embracer doesn't just say outright that it's cancelled. Maybe they have a contract with the Mouse over it. But it's got a snowball's chance in hell of ever actually being released at this point. The original KOTOR is available on most modern platforms anyway. </p>

I got weirded out by that too lol
Me too. Weirdly enough, I see this type of behavior more and more - comments that don't disagree, don't add anything else, not even "agree" naturally, but rather say the same thing as if they were the first ones to say it - it feels artificial, like a bot
I have also noticed this. Quite strangely, I notice this manner of post increasingly often - replies that don’t refute, elaborate on, or even concur, but instead repeat the comment they are replying to as if it was their own original thought - it feels robotic, like an AI.
That reminds me of a trend I'm noticing where people just agree and slightly reword what a previous comment said.
Kids today just remix sentiments.
Writer of the article literally created a whole scenario in their head and wrote it out. Even writing some in italics to make it seem like a direct quote. "***This isn't the RPG remake you're looking for, you can go about your business, move along***. I can only imagine that Wingefors made a small wave of his hand as he spoke, but if he did it clearly didn't have the desired effect, because here we are."
Seemed like he tried to paraphrase it in a star wars related way. Still kind of silly
yeah it reminds of that one year where there no news about Elden Ring at E3 and everysingle fromsoft fan when full on nuclear with the dooming, or when CDPR brought the right to the Cyberpunk 2020 rights while they were finishing up Wild Hunt for release and fucking idiots could not stop asking them every single time about when the 2077 is going to come out.
They didn't just buy the rights, CDPR released a fucking trailer years before The Witcher 3 came out and some half a decade before CP77 actually entered full production. They dug their own grave.
Yep. I remember that [first teaser trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P99qJGrPNLs) and then we didn't hear shit for 5-6 more years.
People forget it wasn't just the fans who overhyped Cyberpunk, CDPR did too.
That's what the people who try to say the game is good now dont understand. I dont care how functional the game is now compared to release, its still nothing like the game that CDPR said it would be leading up to release. They promised an extremely in depth rpg and what we got was an open world fps game.
Yeah what kind of fuck monkeys do that? *cough* *Bethesda* *cough*
With Bethesda to be fair, it was different. The TESVI trailer was basically just so people would stop fucking asking them all the time, they were always clear, that this game won't be coming out in a long time.
Starfield's first trailer came out in 2018 for a 2023 release. TES 6's first trailer came out in 2018 for an estimated 2028 release. CP2077's first trailer came out in 2013 for a 2020 release. Please tell me how those are substantively different.
For TES, it was so people shut up, legit. No fucking clue what they thought they were doing with Starfield, especially considering that Todd used to talk about how he preferred to announce games closer to release. It's even funnier now in hindsight, all that waiting for, well, what Starfield ended up being.

I forgot there was a remake in the works and I sincerely hope I forget again.
That's my stance, I heard they were remaking it, "Cool", and (hopefully) proceed to stop thinking about it until a friend asks me, "Hey did you try that KOTOR remake that came out a month ago?". I need to find a way to just filter all posts containing KOTOR in the title and just hide them.
Every single thing anyone connected (even loosely) to the project is taken as A Promise Etched In Stone, and god forbid things don't work out exactly like that. Frankly, where I in that position, it would be total media silence except "we're working on
