  • COLLECT LEGENDARY HEROES
  • Lvl 60. Morgan
  • six-star rated Morgan
  • 72,000
  • Roster of other heroes marked by their level and stars
  • Stat blocks revealing that it's just HP, Attack, Defense
  • Stats balooned to level JRPG would find ridiculous
  • Oh shit, three different currencies

I wish a very bad on the people financing these dime-a-dozen trash garbage games



The AI will always lead with armed recon and attack helicopters. And since M150 is an M113 with a recoiless rifle, in this scenario, this meant sending all of them that it has through the same forest clearing to be blown up either by a very bored Schutze, or by a Rapira parked at the other end of the village.

Meanwhile, the central sector was to be attacked by armor, but since the deck had Cobras and recon Bradleys, I only saw a single Abrams when there were but two minutes left in the scenario.

writing for games is not so straight forward, which is exactly why we shouldn't be putting game dialogue in the hands generative algorithms πŸ—‘οΈ

this is a defense of the Hobson's Choice, a quirk of games writing deemed by some as a 'problem' to solve. 🌲

one good use of generative for AI would be for populating/filling out open world games to have verisimilitude in terrain, city and population sizes, how many wheat fields are there...

It's basically only a thing a select few nerds would care about and it would be cruel to have game designers work on this world filler. Plus, nothing stopping them from returning to AI Generated Balmora (population: 50,000, not counting slaves) and giving select few spaces lively touches.

"wait, wouldn't this just baloon install sizes for very little gain?"

Ah, eto... Bleh!
