Quoting: aokamiI think the creator of the Stanley Parable got it all right, he made an achievement you can't earn unless you you purposely hack the game.. Says it all, can you stand a to only achieve 99% of a game ?

Some people have compulsory behaviour and game marketing divisions know that, and surely they'll have more people playing longer if you put in something like "Unlock max level in multiplayer" or "Unlock all content"...

Anyways on the other hand, global stats are SO valuable to game devs and marketing as it allows them track where most people stopped playing. It usually goes like that:
- Finish tutorial: 85% (a few people never played)
- Complete 1st chapter: 70% (a few people didn't like gameplay or what they've seen of it so far)
...
- Kill last boss: 30% (okay story and gameplay weren't this good or game was too long)
- Achieve game in difficult mode: 10% (these people liked challenge, should we have more or less in next game ?)
- Unlock 100%: 0.9% (these guys will buy DLC)

While it's just interpretation and roughly inaccurate, I doubt a fistful of people using SAM would actually change the stats significantly.

Maybe he'll find a legal professional willing to work for exposure? :whistle:

Quoting: PhiladelphusMaybe it's time to finally try that Prince of Egypt achievement run by forming Egypt as Florence. I started it once a few years ago but petered out; now with all the improvements to Catholicism and Europe, and what I've heard is a slight nerfing of the Ottomans, it might be time to give it another go. Getting the Lucky Lucca (owning the Indian province of Lucknow as Lucca, a one-province nation in Italy) achievement was one of my funnest games, where I actually migrated to southern Africa, abandoned Italy entirely, built up over a few centuries, then ended up conquering all of India (and getting the achievement for doing so as a European nation in the process!). :D

Quoting: DMGDid they finally fixed AI or it still as bad as it was in beginning and question "what else can we do" was more about "how else we can milk money from those players, without fixing the game"? :huh:

The AI will always be bad because of how complex the game is.

I don't think I can agree with that. There is no reason why the diplomacy AI needs to behave like a drunkard, yet it has been doing that since Civ 1. Being best buddies in round N, then declaring war out of thin air in round N+1? Give me a break, that's not a game being too complex, that's just a badly written AI.

If you want an example of games WAY more complex than Civ 6, and still have an AI that doesn't do overly stupid things every other minute, just go look at any of Paradox's grand strategy titles.

About the packs. I dunno. I feel that Civ 6 already has plenty of Civilizations to pick from. The additional ones won't add a lot to the game. This is indeed more about milking every last possible drop before announcing Civ 7.

Completely agree with that. I could understand, if AI won't be as good, as human sometimes. But right now AI still acts so stupid, that there are just no excuses, why that could not be fixed. They just chasing for money, instead of making better current game. And same problem with all good games. For example, ARK, X4. All just chasing for more and more DLC to get more money, when games have so many bugs and problems from the first release.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleHeh, don't take this too seriously, but I find the tag "NSFW" amusing. Are there any games that are "safe for work"? I imagine even Candy Crush would get you in trouble.

To nitpick on other strongly established terms, I find the common usage of "mature" highly offensive to language and original meanings of words. Things tagged "mature" are more often than not some of the least mature (non-infantile) things out there. And I would really like to search for mature (non-infantile) content sometimes. But I do not have the words for these searches. "Adult" and "mature" are taken. "Grownup" or "non-infantile" or "non-childish" don't sound too promising.

Let's be fair, most of us are still 15 trapped inside older bodies.
The 'mature' and 'adult' thing to do is admit it!
The reason those things is there is not to say they would only be for non-infantile people, but so that dumbass parents who won't consume the product first before passing it for their kids to watch.
I laughed the other night as I started to watch Extraction on Netflix. Its warning was 'strong bloody violence throughout, language and brief drug use" doesn't even use proper commas, but the movie didn't disappoint!
