“The collaboration that we’re announcing today will allow us to work together to deliver new offerings for both the public and the private sector to deliver connectivity through Starlink for use on Azure,” SpaceX president and COO Gwynne Shotwell said in a video. “Where it makes sense, we will work with [Microsoft]: co-selling to our mutual customers, co-selling to new enterprise and future customers.”

 
In this gen which is ending soon,

There is no new GTA, and no sequel to Grand Turismo.

Team ico ico produced ONE game in 2 gen, the last guradian.

Must be amazing working at polygramy & team ico. The job security.
 
I have played about 7ish hours worth of AC Valhalla, & I can't help but think how similar the game is to the TV series. Even the home town looks copy-pasta from the TV series. The seer....lol, just because you genderswap, you think people not know.

But that's a minor nickpit, also I heard Eivor is a female name. To verify I just google the name, & sure enough, the image results are pretty much all-female, which suggests the female Viking is cannon. But I digest. I can understand, you do not want to have 2 different lines for NPC.

Anyway, what I wanted to say is, I feel games, especially open-world games, feel more like walking, talking simulators than well.... games. Traveling huge amount of Same-ish looking terrain. Maybe when I get to England, it's different. I am still in Norway, & the novelty of northern lights & rocky snowy mountains wears off quickly.

In the last mission (minor spoiler) I spent like 30mins (clearing some checkmarks along the way) going from the town to a house in the mountains, & killing maybe 3 wolves & some deers along the way, exciting really. There were 2 "world events". One is finding a FKing comb, the other is waking someone from sleepwalking....exciting!!!!

I guess it is realistic, to cover huge ground, but is it fun. Also, combat is few & far between (so far).

MY thought is, if I just talking & traveling, & unlock story, I can do that by watching a TV series. I am playing a game, I want most time to spend doing exciting things. At least for games like tomb raider, uncharted, or god of war. The environments are cool, diverse, & there are gameplay elements like the environmental puzzles, so you are playing the game while traversing. In AC, & you can say the same for REd dead, you are just traveling & environments are just backdrop.

Personally I rather (my opinion obviously) a more compact game with more gameplay than big S world but the gameplay is far & few in between.
 
Now we know why video game story sucks. I occassionally watch her videos, & I know she was ex-ign stuff, but what exactly qualified her as game writer, or maybe I missed something.
Guys on Neogaf and Resetera have a boner for her for some reason, hopefully she'll do a good job.

I am sure she will do good job. The question is whether she was hired for her writing skill or not & that someone better (writing) should have been hired instead.
