Re: Level-5 CEO Sees AI As 'Tool For Communication And Efficiency Improvement'

Daniel36

@BobbleBubble As a hobbyist artist, I appreciate a lot of what AI can do. If I need a texture of a rusty console with some buttons on it, I can A: buy it from something like Shutterstock, probably not entirely what I am looking for, B: Find it in real life or C: ask AI for a rusty console texture.

What I make of it is still me doing the work. I just asked for a quick texture.

Is that lame? Some of you will say yes, some will say no. I just feel like I saved an hour or two worth of searching and retouching a simple texture.

Consumers won't know the difference, and it's not like I cheated an artist out of money.

Re: Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster Controversially Cuts War Of The Lions Content

Daniel36

If they reverted the "Shakespearian" script and went back to plain and dull Engrish, it'll be a no from me.

Edit: Seems they are keeping the script's tone from WotL, which I am content with. Missing a few extra cutscenes and a character that feels out of place anyways won't bother me. Hopefully the VA is mutable. I dislike VAs most of the time.

Re: Disgaea 7 Complete Is Launching Exclusively On Switch 2 In The West

Daniel36

@JohnnyMind Dear, dear Johnny,

Seeing as I have read plenty ofnyour comments detailing your, quite frankly, insane backlog, let me tell you something...

Do NOT, under ANY circumstance, plan to play Disgaea 1 to 6 first before this one.

These games are EASILY 100+ hours per game, 200+ if you want to do a lot of the added content. These games are ridiculous. Leveling up your characters to level 999, your ITEMS to level 999, trust me, you do not want to get started on that.

Buy this game if you want, but expect a TIME sink. Also, there are cameos but the stories aren't that connected. You can easily start with 7.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age Of Heroes (Dreamcast)

@mlt That is 100% an issue of that is the best scan found online. Colour saturation and clarity should never be taken into account when voting on a Box Art Brawl, because especially with older titles, there is a big chance the art shown is from a photograph or scan, and not the source graphic, hence differences in picture quality.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Four More Titles

@awp69 the Kemco then is a hugely different thing from the Kemco now. Sure, they released mediocre stuff back then as wekl, but also some really amazing stuff. Shame all they release now is basically low effort RPG Maker stuff.

@nhSnork Ahhh, I had one bootleg NES cartridge, and I LOVED it. Battle City was on it too, and it was amazing. A friend had another bootleg cartridge which felt even more exotic. Good times!

Re: Random: Unofficial Smash Bros. Dating App 'SmashTogether' Shut Down By Nintendo

Daniel36

@timp29 Haha, no worries. There are multiple ways to interpret this entire story, and I am not even sure it's necessarily Grindr either... Though I would wager it would attract more male gamers than female ones, especially with the very apparent tongue-in-cheek name, but I also don't think there are that many people who are both Smash Bros gamers ánd gay.

I don't know...

Re: Goodbye Productivity, 'Cookie Clicker' Is Coming To Switch Next Week

Daniel36

Never heard of this before. Teacher here too but I didn't see my students do this. Did see the play another clicker once, but that was short lived.

I am honestly quite surprised to read so many comments here about how you guys played this.

@-wc- Don't know when you usually post comments on NL, but I'd wager it's during "idle moments"? Though those moments may be very short lived. I know I sometimes slouch off on my sofa and open up NL and TE to "recover" with. I should just rest entirely when I do though...

Right now I am in the train though, so might as well...

However, never ever will I waste my time with a clicker game. There are way better time wasters out there.

Re: Yuji Horii Acknowledges Chrono Trigger Remake Requests, Says He's Starting To Contemplate It

Daniel36

@NinChocolate Yeah, I guess you are right. I spoke too soon.

I went and looked up sales data. FF7 understandably did better, but 5 million for Chrono Trigger is no mean feat. Even if accounting for double dippers, and even if only a fifth of these sales are diehard fans, that would probably still mean a commercial success.

But I don't know. Maybe a million isn't worth it for Square, maybe it is... I wouldn't know...

Re: Yuji Horii Acknowledges Chrono Trigger Remake Requests, Says He's Starting To Contemplate It

Daniel36

@NinChocolate Games with a fraction of the fan base actually makes way more sense to remaster. No expectations means more people will enjoy it. Sky high expectations, like with CT, means a lot more disappointment. I mean, even here, right now, some are lamenting FF7 Remake. Nobody is complaining about the Romancing Saga remake.

The vocal minority is strong with Chrono Trigger. And let's be honest, they can do no right with this one. Whichever choice they make, there will be backlash.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: 1080° Avalanche

Daniel36

@SoIDecidedTo Personally, I much preferred the N64 game. Same with F-Zero and Wave Race, I felt the N64 versions were much better. The GC ones felt like theyball played on 1,5x speed, and not in a good way. But I might be the minority in that.

Re: Nintendo's On A Mission To Unmask The Pokémon 'Teraleak' Hacker

Daniel36

Wow. Just wow.

They didn't reveal interesting lore, people!!

They revealed thoughts and ideas that the developers felt weren't up to snuff to be released. Creativity means ypu pursue ideas that may end up in the bin because they were not good ideas. That doesn't make them "canon", that makes them ideas that got canned.

It's not game preservation, it's preservation of a digital bin of crumpled up papers, plus private information, which is just plain criminal.

And sure, there can be some value in those tossed ideas for those interested, but it's still up to the company if they want to release them. This is still just theft, plain and simple.
