I have joined 6 revolt communities and every single one of them became a graveyard within a week. I would love to see this one buck the trend I’m seeing but I’m curious what your plans are and how active yall are currently.
Please understand I’m not skeptical of you and your community. I’ve just seen a lot of dead ends on revolt unfortunately.
dude I can’t believe it’s taking you this long to use search lmao. Part of their marketing was bragging about how they did not use AI.

Hate the game all you want, I know I bounced off it after like three hours so that is totally valid. But you need to stop just making shit up/shooting from the hip.
AI tools for game development didn’t even exist in any meaningful form when production was going for this game. By the time those tools were even coming out it was entering the final steps before release. Are you capable of using a calendar?
I get it it’s fun cosplaying as an asshole on the Internet, but it means you’re just an asshole. Grow up.
No your fault is mostly the condescension/absurd AI comments.
Your entire argument is “bad writing” and/or “bad VA.”
Your Taylor swift comparison makes no sense.
And usually by “algorithm” people mean a feed that is curated to you specifically based off all the data they’ve vacuumed up. Hot/controversial have a clear set of rules about upvote/downvotes over time and they apply exactly the same to everyone, so everyone sorting by hot for instance on a thread or community is seeing the exact same thing
The scrolling is only made to generate rage if you browse all (your issue) or curate a feed with rage bait 🤷♂️ you can fix it in seconds if you want.
Lemmy is not controlled by some sort of curated algorithm. You have full control over the sorting and what goes on your screen in a way that mainstream social media services do not allow.
If you think there’s something addictive or otherwise wrong about your feed, fix it. “The power is yours!”
I don’t understand why people have such a myopic view of games these days. They’re either God’s gift to gamers or absolute dog shit that people should be executed for.
Avowed received decent, not terrible or great reviews. But for you it’s basically Too Human it sounds like. You’re just too blinded by the need to slot games as a 10 or a 1 and can’t be bothered to consider nuance.
Anyway you have failed to give any evidence for why this is “AI slop.“ You just think it’s a bad game. That’s not the same thing. You’re entitled to your opinion but to think it was generated by AI is, frankly, way too generous towards AI. You clearly think it’s way more capable than it is. Because if you think that Avowed is so bad that it falls to that level, then you just don’t have any perspective.
christ dude are you gonna actually be specific at any point in this? That’s your case? “I liked talking to one NPC rest is AI”?
Fine then, your opinion is noted and clearly representative of a very, very small minority. Have a good rest of your day. Case closed lmao
how does it feel like a game created by AI? What were some of your experiences?
No worries! Sorry you went to all that effort just to see my edit after lol
What makes it slop?
The game was finished, which is unfortunately not the norm. It is not AI or even procgen content. It has a focused (if meh) story, graphics and mechanics are solid, it isn’t some sprawling mass open world with a billion fetch quests.
It’s hardly an inspiring game but it certainly is a complete, focused piece that many people have enjoyed. It’s the happy B student in the class.
So again: what makes it slop?
Edit: disregard below. Did some more digging into how it works and they are not recompiling or using previous assets, they are in fact regenerating these games whole cloth. What a colossal waste of resources. Spencer and Microsoft are being dumb lol
Ok, I’m pretty anti-Phil at this point. But this post seems to be doing a lot of…let’s call it “uncharitable” interpretation. And I get it, he doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. But let’s look at the quotes here:
“Today, countless classic games tied to aging hardware are no longer playable by most people,” Xbox says in its announcement post. “Thanks to this breakthrough, we are exploring the potential for Muse to take older back catalog games from our studios and optimize them for any device. We believe this could radically change how we preserve and experience classic games in the future and make them accessible to more players.”
“One of the things we care a lot about at Xbox is game preservation,” Phil Spencer says in a video accompanying the announcement. “And I think about an opportunity to have models learn about older games, games that were maybe tied to unique pieces of hardware where that engine on that hardware… Time will erode the amount of hardware that’s out there that can actually play a game.”
I initially read this as “AI can take older games that were relegated to older hardware and make them compatible on modern systems so players don’t need the hardware anymore.”
Does emulation solve this? Yeah usually. Does he have some cheap money grab planned? Totally possible and wouldn’t be surprising. But frankly I don’t know. I’m not quite sure I’m buying in to the axe grinding this article is engaging in.
That being said Microsoft would definitely do better to put their efforts towards supporting emulation and public acquisition of roms. Completely agree with that sentiment. But I think they’re kind of bending the premise to shout about that (again valid and one I agree with) point here.
I’m not sure where this “facsimile” talking point is even coming from if I’m being completely honest. If I glossed over it please share a quote with me. I am perfectly comfortable going back to blaming Phil Spencer lol
I mean at worst it’s fine. Very mid.
I love this project. If you ever want a collaborator let me know!
I am very comfortable with dmg lol the issue is iOS
Gotta go deeper lmao “Current update for insiders, proposed upcoming update for everyone that’s clearly not rolling out anymore.” Their headline is accurate but super misleading and click bait-y for sure
Those don’t work on iOS sadly and it’s a bit of a workaround to get on MacOS.
Appreciate the suggestion but iOS. Silly of me to forget that in the initial comment
No worries hope I didnt sound too “challenging” or anything! I’ll come pop in soon then :)
