steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI art slop, because your $70 means nothing anymore
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is littered with AI generated artwork which makes the $70 feel like a complete rip-off.

What's fucked up is that we already know from 17 years ago that Samus having a sidekick CAN work, but for some reason, they just refuse to reunite her with pikachu

Rather than informing the player of a consideration they need to have to successfully play the game, you are *offloading* a consideration. That's one less thing the player needs to think about while playing the game.

Consider the example in that Metroid article that's making the rounds. Having a voice tell you "hey, I think you might've missed something" when you bypass a save room doesn't teach the player to look out for save rooms. It teaches them to listen for instructions.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond delivers the series' trademark gameplay in spades, but I fear one very annoying addition might derail the whole thing
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has plenty of the good stuff. It also has an incredibly annoying, incredibly un-Metroid sidekick who won't shut up.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

lumines arise good & what you'd expect from a tetsuya mizuguchi game (which is exactly my shit). if tetris effect is tetris on LSD, lumines arise is more like lumines on crack. i mean this with the highest compliments! I always play these in the dark with max graphics and headphones blasting lmfao
