Starfield design director calls out unfair game criticism: 'Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is' in c/[email protected]

That's fair, I 100% agree. No matter the reason for a game's poor quality, you shouldn't let it off the hook. Especially if it's a commercial product.

Personally though, I don't think he's pretending not to have heard that point. He clarifies multiple times in the thread that he's fine with people criticising his work. Instead, he's speaking to a kind of criticism that claims -- incorrectly -- to know things about the game's development, and that offers naive solutions to complex problems. In my opinion, that kind of criticism is pretty worthless, and takes up air that could otherwise be spent discussing the game's real, concrete problems.

But I get the frustration. Bethesda's response to criticism of Starfield has been dismissive on the whole, so the director of the game coming out against some criticism is tone-deaf from a PR perspective.

Also, it seems like no-one who complains about discourse online takes the time to provide examples of what they're complaining about... So it's hard to know what exactly Emil is talking about here.

D'aww.

Ah, gotcha. I do understand the anxiety about that though, it's hard to care when climate change feels so permanent and inevitable.

Sorry, but that's a pretty arrogant thing to say

Even if they won't care, it's normal to want a better future for the people who come after you.

I'd love to, but none of my friends use it unfortunately

Don't tell the furries

Little Nightmares III – The Necropolis: 2-Player Co-op Gameplay Walkthrough in c/[email protected]

I was really worried about this game from the trailer but this is actually looking sick as hell... I like that they're playing with different kinds of monsters and environments. And co-op sounds like a lot of tense shouty fun.

Well, Cities: Skylines 2 is here, and it's another broken game release. in c/[email protected]

I dunno -- I'm sympathetic to the DLC argument, but bad performance isn't something I can forgive on launch day. I'm sure they'll patch it in time, but if I buy a full-priced game, I expect it to run decently well. Anything less makes for a poor user experience. If a publisher truly cares about user experience then they won't release a game in that state, or if they do, they'll make it 100% clear on the storefront that the game has performance issues.
