Nifflas

Game developers have so much to learn from board game designers, who are experts in how to make a thing people of different skill levels can have a fun time with together.

And... investing in features that only appeals to the best of players... as a game developer, do you really want to invest in that? Really?

Journey showed you can even achieve fun by having players simply hang out. There's so much more online stuff to explore, but if you pit randos against each other you basically eliminate every player who is not already skilled at the genre.

New rule! PvP invasions are boring and always leads to beginner frustration. Come up with other ways random people online can interact. Dark Souls summons was great, both pvp and pve summons.

But you know. I didn't really expect the devs to get this one right. Arkane still makes excellent games.

Uh, no, no deathloop multiplayer for me. Just as expected, someone with outrageous FPS skills killed me three times in a row. Every invasion is gonna be like this. They should have balanced it differently.

Currently having an internal debate whether I should play Deathloop online or offline. If I play online, I kind of worry every invader will have outrageous FPS skills and I won't stand a chance.

Deathloop GOOOOO!

Oh wait, I have to update the graphics cards drivers first.

Deathloop Gooooooooo!

It's an incredibly wholesome, fun and clever game. It kept surprising me with fun discoveries and characters!

The TOEM demo was an absolutely lovely surprise! Definitely get this game when it's out!https://twitter.com/SWMGames/status/1432690730464681996 …

Why do I get the weirdest earworms? Scatman! The DK Rap. Grulovia. And now... the Swedish Chef?

Representation and accessibility shares a lot of properties. They lead to the work being liked by more people. And they anger some people who just can't take that everything doesn't cater to only them.

Like, of course representing more body types are gonna annoy some people, but I think far more are gonna welcome it!

Can I also add something to the God of War / Thor discourse? A lot of good points have been raised already, but don't lose track of that most people are actually saying the design is awesome.

My hypothesis: Streamers are more likely to have pets. For some reason. At least the ones I follow. I have no idea why.
