"We're making something new but it's boring and will suck." said no one ever.

"We're making something new and don't have high hopes for it. Just don't even bother"

Anyway, here’s our new game Wonderwall.

We’re going for a cross between spore and star field.

A quote from Vincke at the end of the post only stokes the excitement further. "I don't know if we’re going to pull it off," he wrote

This is so refreshing. A studio with big Ws that still goes balls out and takes risks. You love to see it. Take notes, gaming studios. This is how you make fun games.

People didn't really like it when CD Projekt Red did that with Cyberpunk, and this is a pretty close mirror image of that..

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Because they failed, but then still delivered an unfinished game. If CD PR was as well managed as Larian rather than being shareholders' bitch, they'de be releasing Cyberpunk right about now, properly finished.

The main problem with that one was a hypetrain without brakes that crashed into a solid wall of broken promises

People don’t like that cyberpunk was/is graphically unoptimized. If your computer can run it the game’s fine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

You're saying this like the reason everyone was pissed off about cyberpunk was because of anything other than it not being finished. STILL.

I am not one for company loyalty but larian,hasn't dissapoşnted me yet, let's see where this leads to

This is me being pedantic, but here goes: best work ever meaning this is as good as it gets, it's all down hill from here?

I know they mean best work yet but c'mon man, say what you mean.

The studio would like to remind everyone that a group of Pedants is called a "Phlegm".

A group of redundants is called a redundants.
