| | | | | The fog effect in PUBG is really fantastic, and changes so much in terms of how you play the game. Sniping is greatly reduced, close quarters combat is far more common, and mid-range combat is full of new unknowns. Areas of the map you normally have a great view from you now likely don't, and... | |

| | | | | It's being reported that the upcoming Animal Crossing: New Horizons will not support cloud backups for its save files "to avoid manipulating time, which remains one of the founding concepts of the series." (Source, translation.) It's bad enough that Nintendo doesn't allow you to back up your own save files manually and makes a paid subscription the only way to protect your data from hardware failures, damage, loss, or theft. That's already anti-consumer. But if they're going to do that, then once you're paying money for the privilege of backing up your data from playing your game on your console, no game should be able to opt out. It's ludicrous to charge you for a service and then tell you "Nope, this particular developer didn't feel like you should get to use the service you're paying for on the product they sold you." Supposedly, developers need "a good reason" to opt out of cloud backups, but in practice the reasons we've seen so far usually aren't good at all. But what I find interesting about this one is how paternalistic it is. It feels similar to the argument you sometimes hear against the inclusion of easy modes, that somewhere a player might play on easy even though they'd enjoy the game more on hard, and preventing this possibility is somehow worth blocking other people from enjoying the game at all. I don't care if some player out there uses save backups to finish their insect collection faster or whatever - why on earth is preventing that worth blocking all players from backing up their save in a game that's intended to be played for months or years? | |
