They failed with the first game after it spiked in popularity. They were only ever releasing a number 2 in an attempt to cash in on another spike, but it didnt work out did it.

What dickheads are there in osrs? Unless you seek it out yourself? Everyone is just going about their business.

Why would you not want a safer pool design?????????

I can get why, pitbulls are the most problematic and the breed that should be banned first before moving onto others. People often use deflection and bring up "well X breed killed someone, why dont we ban them huh?", it's fine in this thread since the post explicitly mentions other breeds too, but its a classic comment to see when people are trying to defend pitbulls for whatever reason.

Sure, and nobody is denying that. But there are breeds that are more aggressive in nature and a lack of training and control of them is far more dangerous.

Huskies have been involved with plenty of attacks on humans in the past. Pitbulls significantly more. I'd ban them all from being available to the general public to be honest.

It still suffers from temporal AA (or "AI" upscaling), which has lots of blur and ghosting.

Yes... smaller devs should be encouraged to try alternate engines, but that's not always possible or feasible for some.

I have less issue with smaller devs doing it, for reasons you mentioned. Sometimes their creative idea is best getting out there on any engine than it not getting out at all. We just need to stop normalising the use of Unreal Engine, before it is too late. Balatro is a good example we should be highlighting instead of something like Expedition 33 (which I am not saying shouldn't have released at all, we just shouldnt be praising it for it's use of UE, but rather for it's other features/standouts, like as you mentioned).

I have yet to see a well made Unreal Engine 5 game, but every studio is seemingly jumping to it. It's become like a buzzword almost (you never used to hear about the engine much, but now it's all "yeah our game is on Unreal Engine 5!!!"). But for some, me included, it's like putting a "rotten" sticker on a box of food. I just want to see more devs try other options, so we don't stagnate and allow Epic full control over the industry essentially. We used to get lots of custom built engines, but we have been slowly consolidating over the last decade, which I know at the root of it, is down to good ol' capitalism. It just sucks for games and by extension, the consumers, us.

You are right thats what it would be called, but it doesnt do anything to be a "spiritual successor". It's just a modern copy of it, even worse in places, definitely in terms of quality. I wouldnt be surprised if the assets are just from a marketplace. I left some more thoughts elsewhere in the comment thread and they certainly love their "modern technologies", with AI generated art ingame.

Fuck the UK, you should be doing the opposite.

You just spam F and one tap enemies. Lol.

The game is incredibly poorly made, with clipping textures and models everywhere, animations are horrible, performance is terrible, it's hazy and blurry, there's AI imagery all over the place.

It's a cash grab at best. You just have to spawn into the lobby to immediately know you just bought an incredibly low quality game.

Yeah, exactly.
