Thread: It has been sad to see Stephen Colbert turn into a hack
I miss Colbert Report and his old actin' days of Strangers with Candy and stuff. His show was genuinely terrible before Trump was elected, and honestly I don't think he would have lasted much longer before that. I remember the last show I was watching pre-Trump days and he set up an act for almost ten minutes of him holding a Captain America shield as Chris Evans threw a tennis ball at him. Then they showed it in slo-mo. It was like them wanting to get viral hits like Fallon but not having a clue how to set up anything like that. Now it's very low hanging fruit and he basically sleepwalks his way through each night with the easiest of jokes. Seth Meyers is easily better, no question.

Thread: Why in-game achievements aren't widespread on the Switch?
Achievements/Trophies are fantastic. I cannot praise them enough. Those who compare them to "lazy game design" are completely misinformed. Here's a few reasons why I enjoy them from both a player and dev perspective: -They get players to do certain objectives they would normally skip. For instance, the easy tutorial trophy- many players skip tutorials altogether and can miss key details that they would have otherwise known via the tutorial. This is a nice way to nudge them into it without having to resort to locking game modes or content away at startup, something that negatively impacts the experience for those who are not playing for the first time. -They can show players fundamentals that the game would otherwise have a hard time relaying to the player. I was playing Gran Turismo Sport last night and I saw one of the trophies was to spend Mileage points on upgrading cars, something I didn't know existed until I saw the trophy despite dozens of hours in the game. Similarly I've seen trophies that describe combos or player moves where I've thought, whoa, I can do that? This is much more rewarding than having a little tutorial bubble appear. -It gives the game a little bit more weight in terms of progression. Getting a bronze for something that takes an hour, vs a gold trophy that you get at the end of the game, makes it all feel more final and adds to the accomplishment of beating the game. -Trophy/Steam Achievement rarity can be a great easy way to get some stats from your player base as a dev. I've seen low rarity on some achievements that I thought were easy to get, and this told me that the game wasn't surfacing the mode or playstyle appropriately or in a way that players were paying attention to. -They add fun challenges that would otherwise not fit within the structure of the game. Using my game as an example, I wanted to do a special achievement that unlocks if a player plays a level in an exact style. This would be awkward to put into the game since it wasn't built for extremely specific scenarios like this, but as an achievement it was very easy and fun to do. -They show up on friend's profiles and are another simple way to surface your game to players who don't know anything about it. There is certainly such a thing as bad trophy/achievement design. I think a lot of the older Uncharted games, where you had to kill people with a specific gun so many times, leads to endless grinding that is not fun at all. Similarly, trophies based on difficulty can be tricky and leads the player into sticking with a difficulty level that may be unfun for their skill level and might discourage them from continuing to play (I was thankful to see God of War skip the difficulty mode trophies). I'd say any trophy that requires grinding can be a slog, and I'm guilty of that as well. Anyways, just my two cents. I hope Nintendo adds them because there is absolutely ZERO reason, NONE whatsoever, that they shouldn't be in there. They are great for everyone, and you can turn them off if you disagree.

Thread: Creepy stalker liveblogs about two other people on a plane, ends up getting one of them doxxed
There was a lady who was talking to a guy that was clearly uninterested in anything she had to say, and it was pretty painful to watch. Then when we all got up to exit she says, "hey so let me have your phone number and I can send you those pictures!" "um, no. No." "Ok well are you on Facebook I can friend you on there?" "Uh no, nope. No." "Oh come onnn!" (gah) *mumbles something as he looks straight ahead to the exit* It was the cringiest thing I had ever witnessed.

I mean, the PC version launches in nine days. It's hard to believe it would take a year to release on Xbox, especially since it already has a lot of parity with the PC version sans the new map and probably a few other features I'd assume.

I think the main problem is that there are other Game Preview games way more polished than this (Fortnite). I mean wayyyyyy more polished. I wonder how mainstream gamers will take to the level of roughness that PUBG has in the preview program. I think it's asking a lot for console players to get accustomed to this level of, well, jank before they bail out.

I give him credit for not taking any money until its on shelves at least.

Thread: Should Sony try their hand on a more arcadeish Gran Turismo, Horizon style?
What does that make Forza Horizon 3, which sold less than half of what Gran Turismo 6 did and a little more than half of Sport? Turn 10 announced this week that they aren't making Forza 8, and instead are working to improve Forza 7 which had lots of launch issues. The bi-annual release schedule finally caught up with them and I never felt like releasing so many games so quickly was ever a good thing.

I mean I'm having a blast with Sport but its no GT7 for sure. I don't really think there's a tremendous rush to secure the racing market, and Forza still has a long way to go to build up the franchise to a power seller. But they'll get there eventually.
