#XboxYearinReview2024
Excluding #1 since I technically haven’t played MLBTS24 for most of the year, but here’s a quick thread of my otherwise Top 15 most played games from 24’ since I don’t usually do the algorithm “favorite games lists”
(1/2 continued)

I am all in on finishing this first run through #Pathfinder #WrathOfTheRighteous, Aeon saving Terendelev from Deskari has been worth the build and wait fully playing through this mythic path.
I’ve completed basically all the content I can (DLC included) and nearly completed the crusading also.

Finally committed to advancing a character in #PathOfExile2 past Act 2. Druid ascended into Oracle has been a lot of fun in the current league.

I made a joke in Trump’s first term that DHS was basically The Division 2’s Black Tusk Special Unit. In hindsight ICE could never actually be that cool. The best thing for them is rotting in the most obscure Hell imaginable one day soon.

Finally picked back up on #Pathfinder #WrathoftheRighteous late last night.
Seeing the Arueshalae romance through has kept me coming back and Owlcat once again has not disappointed.
Act 5 feels gigantic but I am pushing through one quest at a time before heading to Iz.

Entering Act 5 of #Warhammer40K #RogueTrader once again. The mystery of Amarnat viewed through the personal quest and journey of magus Pasqal still to this day is one of my favorite revelations in video game storytelling.
Let the cycle be discontinued.

Rogue Trader for Nintendo Switch 2 feels like the W40k universe in your pocket, at a considerable compromise. Here's my review.

I've seen that the head of Larian will have an AMA, and it will be a shitshow. Of course it will be. Because gamers gotta have the big hype game.
And as usual, artists and creatives are being labeled as 'reactionary' and 'we don't get it' and 'lol, its gonna be here forever so shut up.'

Co-opting the AI debate for basic gamergate garbage has to be one of the most godawful things, what is this shit.

they're seriously trying to grift on "no ai in games is woke" now

“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.
It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.

The year is 40025. There is one game studio left. It produces a game every single day, killing over a million game developers in the process. Some say that the one game studio is dead but they are quickly branded as heretics

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

Wow a free Eternal Strands DLC dropped completely off the grid for me, another game I must go back and finish soon!
Yup. New map, new power, new creature, 2 new armors and 3 new weapons. All free add-ons.

Well expanded context here really isn’t helping return lost good will, Jesus fucking Christ man.
If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

current news has me thinking about the Lake House Alan Wake 2 DLC where a bunch of out-of-touch scientists can't figure out why a bad writer like Alan Wake can evoke emotion from people but their gigantic room filled with automatic typewriters only creates slop that kills you

It'd go a long way to avoid press blunders if CEOs would stop conflating automated and procedural tools (which have been used for years in game dev) with genAI.
Using the former to justify the latter is not a defensible position. Devs who benefit from such tools aren't "generally ok" with AI.
