What if, just what if Grumms with the mental age of a 4 years old finally releases his own game, which is under development for more than a decade? And maybe show us how to do it if he’s such a genius, and not just crying all the time like a little snowflake🤡
I don't even like AC or Ubisoft and even I thought this game looked good when I finally saw the footage of it. I'm not gonna buy it right now I don't have that much faith in a series I don't like but... During a sale or something? I actually probably will.
aside from the actually really weird cash grabs that Ubi always does, it seems like they fixed the one thing I heard about the game that was actually objectionable (the shrine thing) ~<3
Grummz is a former Blizzard dev who worked on Diablo 2. He now spends a lot of time making commentary on video game culture, vast majority of which is rather controversial.
He currently has a game in development called Em-8er which appears stagnant but still accepting donations to create.
To be fair, I was wondering yesterday how a relatively important scene (killing your first target) was all hand-animated instead of motion captured. It kinda made it look very stiff
Hand animated literally means every pose is hand picked. It also means if no pose is picked, the character just doesn't move for a couple seconds. They don't blink, the eyes don't move from one focus point to the other, etc
Performance capture means something is always moving, just like real life.
arguably, it could be their second biggest launch in terms of marketing, and might have broken certain sales records for a specific period in time (first 24 hours, etc), but then sales numbers dropped rapidly rather than holding steady or increasing so it’s a disappointment
Neckbeard incel game developer has been that bankrupted his company a decade or more ago and has spent recent years promoting anti-woke/gamergate nonsense.
When games cost $80 each, you've already limited how many games people can afford to buy a year and forced them to be more selective. Can only afford to have a handful of tops selling games. Especially in this economy.
- Ubisoft: 'We've added Japanese music to the game!'
- Japan: 'This is Chinese music...'
- Ubisoft: 'We've added Japanese folk instruments!'
- Japan: 'They're Chinese instruments...'
- Ubisoft: 'We've added Japanese architecture!'
- Japan: 'This is Chinese architecture...'
I love that the article references Split Fiction selling well and Grummz was screaming just weeks ago about Split Fiction being woke because it has two women protagonists.
It's even fuckin funnier that it took him 2 hours to respond and he referenced a game in the steam charts that's not even his as a counter LMAO what a fucking loser
This is the first Assassin's Creed game I've played and I'm in love with it. I'm only 5 hours in, but it's beautiful. The prolong took me 2 hrs to complete...
If other Assassin's Creed games are like this, I may have to go try them..
It cost me 90.00 for the deluxe edition and so worth it. Imo.
The assassins creed games are consistently fairly good and fun. People act like there’s one ever year still and that it’s a cookie cutter experience every year. It’s not.
Mark "Grummz" Kern was famous, prior to his reinvention as a right-wing rabble rouser, for a string of failed business ventures culminating in a crowd funding scam named EM8ER (not to be confused with the dating game released on Steam of the same name).
more importantly he's scamming backers out of $600k for a game he's been "developing" for 8 years - aka a terrible demo full of placeholder assets, AI monthly skins, and one (1) untextured model, for a game called Em-8er that's taken so long that someone else on Steam beat him to the punch

I approve.

No way I'm paying 70€ for it though.
Will have to wait til the price drops to that of a sandwich.
It just looks pretty good 🤞
It'll cost you 18 dollar/17.99 euro/15 pound.
😀

Finish the game and cancel +... cheapest way to play games these days it seems. 🤭
Then they realise it cost him $3,000,000 and they laugh even harder.
Amusingly, I Googled "Firefall bus" and the first thing that pops up is the Wikipedia entry for Mark Kern.

You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.

Either way, may the Ubisoft social media team lead long, fruitful lives, with cold pillows and perfectly brown toast.

I thought Grummz was a commentator; are they a developer, too?
I was struggling to remember the name of his shitty scam game, and then your comment reminded me that it has one of the worst titles I’ve ever seen.
