  • I mean, isn’t all AI in games limited by design? What’s the issue with that?

    "Designers instructed us not to improve [the AI] in certain ways, because they believed that players enjoyed being able to dominate the AI and that we shouldn’t deprive them of that.”

    This is true. Wait what? What’s the issue? If you make the AI un-defeatable then players won’t have fun. I can see where some limitations may be annoying to very advanced players, but most normal players typically struggle vs AI in strategy games at high difficulty settings. This is where Age of Empires 2s latest settings that include tunable options for AI are the ultimate way to handle AI. But the AI being limited by design isn’t really a problem IMO.



  • Infinite never had a chance. It succeeded in the art department, but everything else was such a colossal failure that even if they kept it around and updated it for the next 10 years, at the pace they’re going they still wouldn’t have parity with a game like Halo 3.

    Maybe the next Halo will be better. I am willing to give them one more chance since Bonnie Ross and Kiki are gone, among other names in management that ran the IP six feet under. But if the next one sucks I am out for good. Maybe a new property will replace Halo, who knows.



  • So what would he do that’s not illegal but bad enough to get banned?

    Twitch is a private platform, they could ban him for whatever reason they wanted.

    Disney dropped Johnny Depp because of the Amber Heard thing, but what did he do to deserve that? Twitch dropping Dr. Disrespect was probably entirely about optics.

    I don’t know anything about him, I don’t watch him or anything. But if he did break the law, he absolutely would have been arrested. AFAIK, sexual assault/misconduct or whatever with a minor doesn’t have a stipulation that the minor can choose to not press charges, thats up to the prosecuting attorney. They almost always press charges, and they should. So if something illegal did infact take place, he would have been arrested.
