I did find it strange that the most recent article was 3 days old when I checked the site the other day.

I've said before that I like that Dave the Diver has a fast pace at which it introduces new mechanics because I don't like long tutorials, but the game still hasn't stopped introducing new mechanics and it's getting a bit ridiculous. One of the last mechanics I unlocked was the ability to pick...

I played some more Dave the Diver and it turns out I was wrong, I wasn't collecting too much, I was in fact not collecting enough. Turns out you unlock a bunch of collection quests that you can only complete over the course of several dives. Though I was right that the sushi restaurant is only...

I played more Dave the Diver today. I unlocked a bunch more game mechanics and it's starting to seem like the restaurant part of this game is a much smaller part of the game than I initially thought. The restaurant is just a way to make some money, the real gameplay is finding specific items...

Yes, The Phantom Pain. Maybe I'll try the game with mouse and keyboard next time, though I don't really mind playing with a controller either. I'm not planning on having to do a lot of shooting.

AI can definitely do lip syncing. I saw a video the other day of a model holding up a product with her mouth closed and a monitor where you saw the AI filter that added an AI generated voice and made it look like she was actually talking.

I have gotten close to falling asleep at the wheel once. I was not used to driving in the USA and it was a five hour drive mostly on a straight highway late at night. One of the worst experiences and probably one of the most dangerous things I've ever done.

I started two new games today. First was Metal Gear Solid V, though I initially only got so far as the main menu screen before I had to stop. In most games that would mean the game was on for like 10 seconds, in MGS V you get like 5 minutes of unskippable cutscene first. It also became...

I don't remember ever falling asleep at my PC before, though I have fallen asleep on top of a book at least once.

I have my doubts that any other company is going to be able to compete with Roblox and Fortnite. You need skilled creators to make the content, but those will only bother creating something if there are players to play their games. But players will only come if there's quality content, so you...

I played a bit of Flotilla today. It's kind of like Frozen Synapse, but in 3D space. Each turn you give both of your ships an order of where to move to and who to shoot at and when you end your turn you watch your ships and the enemy ships perform those orders. In between fights you can fly...

I'll admit I was wrong. Subnautica can definitely be played as purely a survival adventure game and the developers label it as such, but there wouldn't be a creative mode if it wasn't intended to also be played as a sandbox game.

I think this quote from the article sums it up pretty well: I haven't played Starfield yet, but from what I understand the main problems people have with the game aren't the bugs, but more the fundamental design of the game, which is a lot harder to fix. I think No Man's Sky was similar, in...

I disagree that Subnautica is a sandbox game. While you can definitely just exist in the world if you want, there isn't that much to do besides progressing the game. You can build a big base if you really want or collect all of the fishes, but that's hardly enough to count as a sandbox in my...
