fo4 personally dissapointed me cause it felt less expansive than skyrim. Less unique quest lines and a smaller feeling world to explore. Whether it can be empirically proven that's the case or not I cannot tell but fallout 4 felt small in comparison to skyrim or even fallout 3/new vegas.

that's not something a consumer should have to worry about. Welcome to the real world where your customers don't care. Ever work in retail? You think the customer cares that you have to downstack a pallet to get to the item that they need?

yeah compressed video that looks worse than the game itself in a cutscene really takes me out of the experience. I've seen compressed 24 fps cutscenes of prerendered gameplay footage talking compressed to 720p with heavy artifacting... how is that acceptable or what you want as a developer to present in an experience.

nop

novels could be written about the dark future where this leads. People playing pokemon go in the holocaust museum is a good example of real life relations breaking down into people simply following; possessed by a need to increase their virtual standing to do things in the real world, regardless of the moral implications after all "the game told me to do it". Virtual currencies replace money as people are directed to do jobs to gear up and catch em all as real life property becomes tied to the ever encompassing game economy. Maybe a bit hyperbolic but one could envision a future where gamification of social/economic life only increases.

The sickest part is the gambling side pumps up the value of the skins and encourages a lot of transactions of skins which valve takes a cut off of. So by enabling this valve makes huge profits off of gambling. Still even if there wasn't a gambling component valve has gotten crazy with the loot box model and would seem a lot less like a faceless money grabbing corporation if they chilled with that.
