Sir Toby from Warhorse is trying to increase his sneak stats by stealing forks from Golden Joystick Awards 😜

It's drama time!

Sven mentioned that the company is using AI but kinda in chill mode and everyone is okay. Seemingly, not everyone and not okay, but now they're in damage control mode.

Kind reminder: Dragon Age Inquisition, released in 2014 and highly limited by the requirement to support past gen consoles:

Meet the first gameplay video of Exodus. From Archetype Entertainment, a studio founded by former BioWare developers James Ohlen, Chad Robertson, and Drew Karpyshyn, and published by Wizards of the Coast.

---

So far gamers are not confident yet and compare Exodus to The Division by Unisoft. When in reality cover shooting was a huge part of Mass Effect long before TD came out, but yeah, it looks a bit 2011.

For me the issue is rather different: the video is all over the place, shows small features that aren't necessary good or polished, etc. It's very basic set of game mechanics that have to be there but don't define the game.

- You can kinda walk
- Do laggy cover shooting
- Rope swing (Uncharted?)
- Doors from Mass Effect?

It's bland AF, like a template from UE5 (which it most likely is).

And Crimson Desert just launched well. A few negative reviews are:

- Can't rebind WASD keys
- Can't lock FPS
- Has narrative cutscenes but the guy wanted it to be 100% combat and he hates dialogues

I love democracy 🌚🫠

Also, can I kindly say that investors are idiots? The game looks like it's going to be a huge hit.

And after just a few days Crimson Desert reviews turned to 73% positive and the score keeps growing. A lot of people discuss that they have learned how to play and it is getting better over time.

Haters gonna hate though

Warhorse fired their translator and replaced him with AI (Reddit). Previously Daniel Vavra defended AI and said it would be nice to replace actors with it "so they will not spend months on boring background lines, for example".

Reddit mods confirmed he was employed at Warhorse and it's not just a joke or bait.

How unhinged the dialogue options should be? YES!

Crimson Desert renewed the record yesterday which is uncommon for single player games (to grow in active player base two weeks after the release is extremely rare).

Players discovered a spawn point for gold bars in Crimson Desert. This is a very valuable item but guards will hunt you down if you will steal the gold bar.

Instead you can steal the whole fireplace where it appears!
