Important context: the "late rapper's estate" is actually just a white record company exec who took over complete ownership after Tupac's mom died. The idea that his "permission" provides any kind of ethical basis for a deeply ghoulish practice is absurd.

Obey your teacher or you get headbutt nuked

Somedays I remember that no matter how good the intentions of friends and myself are regarding avoiding AI garbage, it's never going to stop anything. You can't stop the greed of companies that are trying to get away with it all.

[about to speak to the manager voice] well well, i wonder if the offspring knew the new crazy taxi game was using the tech undermining recording artists via mass slop on spotify, somebody ought to tell th-

Once you let go of FOMO and your Nostalgia, you'll find it's pretty easy to say no to most new titles that get thrown your way. And I'm not saying never be nostalgic; it's just realizing that your nostalgia can be used against you for a ton of things.

the other annoying thing about the AI craze is that language about it is purposely muddled and unclear to lump all automated processes under it. remember that golf game that had an AI disclosure that turned out to be because they used fucking SpeedTree

nice of Sega to pre-emptively kill the new Crazy Taxi before it even launches i hope bad things happen to every motherfucker who keeps pushing for genAI shit in videogames. what a colossal fucking waste of everyone's time.

If Persona 6 is AI slop too, I dunno what I'm going to do. I'll have to start saying Persona 5 is good in comparison. That's no goddamn good at all!

If Crazy Taxi has AI, then other SEGA stuff will as well. It isn't going to be just one or two.

You watch, as soon as I buy this, they'll finally give us info on the english Switch release

Honestly, I'm so fucking done with anything to do with Digital Foundry

If you complain about Tupac being dug up for a game, you get called a hypocrite because you aren't up to date on who is digging up who for every piece of media at every moment and you might have missed something 👍

Well, it's nice to fantasize sometimes

The idea of posting this about yourself is the most hack shit I've seen in ages

It’s hard to imagine any technology that has ever fucked it this badly, and purely through arrogance, it’s like if the people who invented the car decided to showcase its utility by driving over your family dog and then backing up and doing it again, and also the car sucked and was bad

My only use for DekuDeals is to put an item on my wishlist to be notified of a price drop. It's pointless to actually browse the site since you have to sift through all of the slop. All these years and they simply still haven't included the option to HIDE publishers/developers.

I only have myself to blame for watching some the Sony showcase. I heard "Rayman", and "Tomb Raider" so I got suckered into being invested for 5 minutes. Time to reevaluate and only focus on what is good and worth my time when it comes to looking forward to videogames.

Oh, so they're STUPID stupid. Of course, remake a game that everyone already either has already, or could buy on their modern device to decide the future of a franchise. Close da company.

They're going to remake the original God of War games into the nu-GoW style, and that seems like a great idea to people. There's very little concern over every game just playing the exact same with no nuance. It's why some are annoyed over the idea that Resident Evil 1 will get remade.

I can finally stop being partially interested in any new game that gets announced from these showcases.

If you look at enough western action hack and slashy games, you're think they just discovered magnets. Every one is the same nonsense of pressing any button on your pad to be immediately teleported up the closest enemy's asshole to deal damage. Every. Single. Time.

American writers just can't help themselves but insert some fucking quirky characters like everything is a disney movie

I'm already collecting as many keywords as I can to purge my feed of discourse around this God of War game

wolverine sniffing a thing then saying out loud, to no one, "looks like i can follow this sent if i walk forward to the objective" is what i would make up as a cruel parody of playstation games so it is a bold choice to start on that

Oh fuck off close da company

A tale as old as time

Princess Sara - FFI ⭐

Having OCD and anxiety paired up with concerns over AI is not something I wish on anyone. It's very difficult to trust anything now. It's like everything died after 2022. Am I to inspect every piece of media I've bought/consumed after that point more thoroughly, or give benefit of the doubt?

Fuck em then. We can play the Switch 1 version in boost mode on the Switch 2. Reminder they screwed over a bunch of new players as well by putting the Switch 1 version on sale before announcing this. This company doesn't give a fuck.

Full on cart Switch 2 releases (that work on Switch 1 too) for peak knight and peak song.

I didn't even finish the demo cause it was immediately apparent it was one of those games. One of those platformers that makes everyone look like a god speedrunner by making the levels optional to interact with due to your moveset. Just not engaging at all.

Every company is insane now

Just don't have any heroes. It's much easier that way. If a notable person doesn't make it clear they're against AI, there's always the chance they'll disappoint you

I should be shocked/disappointed, but I'm not. Just another reminder not to trust your goats. He was always up his own ass, so no wonder he'd attach to this kind of shit and claim to see potential.

There we go, we can start hating Kojima now. No goat will be left unwashed.

A 100+ hour RPG won't be out anytime soon. I will have to play one of the many dozens of 100+ hour RPGs in my library in the meantime!

Some companies completely flubbed the Switch 2. No physicals, no upgrades, no save transfers. All hoping you give-in and pay the full price again.

Another key-card for the trash pile. I suppose no upgrade path either?

"What, you don't want to be on the app with the nazis, pedos, and trans hunters? Bubble much?"

Google shoves AI into their search which means when you search for something it makes you a user of AI. Then Google can tell their investors people use AI. How do they not catch on? Same as the advertisers being scammed by advertising to no one since content is being viewed/commented by bots.

Bad endings in TV shows don't bother me since I already dropped that shit after 1 or 2 seasons. People focus on the ending of something even though the writing fell off a cliff seasons ago. I've dropped so many shows over the years that I rarely bother with any now.

If this is anything like what they did to XC:X, then it's going to be an even bigger disappointment.

The N64 is great if you never played anything else

It's amazing how every company that built up the computer now wants to kill the computer

ESRB only twits can now buy them and not play

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them
