I havent needed to make an intro post cuz I never had enough people following me lol but hiiiiiiiiii welcome!
I usually post my thoughts whenever I also game alot
The worst read in the gaming industry RN is the hate on @TimSweeneyEpic .
He fought platforms like Apple charging 30% fees which cost gamers and devs. This includes steam who BANS Developers if they offer their games cheaper on other stores who take less cut.
He buys forests just to turn them into nature reserves.
Epic store is not NEARLY as good as steam yet. But they take WAY less money from developers and literally hand out free AAA games each months. Does it need time to expand features? Yes. Are any of those factors something that is motivated by 'evil' no.
And MOST of all. He's 100% correct that its not 2016. Like it or not AI is existing. And the reason you only see the 'anti AI' comments are because the 95% of developers who ARE using it RIGHT NOW are just scared of the backlash.
This doesnt mean they're just vibe code 1-shotting games. They're utelising it to create workflows that streamline otherwise time consuming (and ultimately not 'player experience' defining factors). Stupid 1-shot assets/entire code bases are not what AI is actually being used for. But there are thousands of talented developers using it in a very thoughtful, structured way which gives them full creative control.
We all are 'scared' by AI - and what it means for jobs, creativity, and creation as a whole. But it DOES NOT change the fact that Tim sweeney isnt wrong.
He's just the person with the balls to actually say what is true.
Alright, gonna do something different this time around with the camo grind for all gold guns. Gonna describe either the gun or how I felt while getting it gold in 1 word

"Our end goal is that every match is a good match"
Hard to have a "good match" when other people make it their top priority to strictly target players.
Its really easy to do so as well btw bc unless you take the cargo plane infil (which is 100k btw) spawns are stagnant and 🧵
Infinity Ward comments on matchmaking in MW4 MP to IGN:
“We're looking at the players and their experience, and we can quantify how it affects a certain group of players or a large percentage of them in a negative way. Our end goal is that every match is a good match.”
So the weapon leveling system isnt working as intended. It should skip right to weapon level 67 but its going through the attachments individually even though they are marked as 'shared'
We're opening things up early. #MW4 is LIVE worldwide!
The love for Campaign and DMZ Early Access has been incredible. We see it, we appreciate it, and we can't thank you enough.
Now it's time for the full experience.🫡
