Don’t Think, Just Jam
I don’t expect anything but I’m going to try anyway. Thanks for posting!
I’ll wait for more info before taking out my pitchfork but boy do I hope this isn’t a new game. They can’t be this stupid, can they? If they’ll even hint at doing something new before the stuff we’re waiting for is finished and released I’m done with the project for good.
Lets hope this is some kind of side app connecting to SC or something.
Ubisoft also announced both The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest will have an offline mode (twitter post, screenshot). Looks like the Stop Killing Games campaign is working.
Speaking of, if you’re in EU make sure to sign the The European Citizens’ Initiative petition - we’re already over 30% required signatures!
I think an important step would be to not be afraid of creating characters with actual… well, character. It was somewhat mentioned in the video but it seems like devs are unwilling to make NPCs with their own likes and dislikes, ones that might disagree with players instead of being all over them no matter what. This might be a slight exaggeration but boy do I wish we had more “real” feeling NPCs in games. I’m sure I’m not the only one who couldn’t care less about being the most important being in the universe and would rather be treated as an equal part of the world.
From a mechanical standpoint, relationship system in Scarlet Hollow feels like a good step into making interactions more natural (here is a detailed look by one of the devs) but I realize it’s a lot of work for something a good chunk of players won’t care about. I understand why this isn’t something many (especially bigger) devs would be interested in using but it’s still a disappointment.
Maybe AI will be able to help somewhat with this problem in the future but I’m not going to hold my breath on that.
Oh, I didn’t try to imply you did. It’s just I’ve seen a lot of talk about this route being more… rough (on a story rather than quality level), so to speak? If that’s the case I’m just not in a headspace for something like that and would rather play it when I’m in a position to better appreciate what’s there. Maybe I just misunderstood people’s thoughts about it, that’s also a possibility.
Either way I do want to go back to it eventually, if only to spend some more time with both characters (I do find them fun whenever they show up in other routes).
I also learned about Yotsuba to when looking for something to practice with (still haven’t touched the Japanese version ironically enough) but yeah, it’s a great series even as a normal read. Quickly ended up among my favorites.
Nan Hao & Shang Feng feels like looking at my friends from school at times. I don’t think their adventures were that crazy but many chapters made me go “yeah, that looks familiar”. Is there anything similar from the female perspective? I’d be curious to see how that compares to real life experiences.
