We're talking about memory recall, not mind control. Memories are fundamentally unreliable and are very easy to influence, intentionally or not.

Hypnotics regression absolutely 100% does not work. You're creating false memories, which is incredibly easy to do. Human memory is very, very, very fallible. This nonsense is exactly what triggered the satanic panic in the 70s, where there was a sudden proliferation of stories of childhood ritual abuse all coming from this kind of hypnotic regression, and every single one turned out to be complete fabrications from the subjects being hypnotized.

I think moreso an opportunity for developers of specific genres to get attention in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

Don't know why the headline is so shitty, but the "mmo" seems to be a splatoon-like multiplayer game unrelated to pokemon.

Did that have any effect on your game? Minor UI issues are pretty common in plenty of games, I personally can't see that as much of an issue. Certainly not the game-breaking bugs of launch Oblivion and Skyrim

Did you even play it, or are you just jumping on the hate bandwagon? It's hardly perfect, but I literally didn't find any significant bugs in over 20 hours of playtime. The game has plenty of fundamental issues certainly, but the bugs are more of a meme than anything.

Just look at the mod sites to see how many bugfixes are out there. It's been improved in the years since it launched, but it's far from a bug free game.

Admittedly haven't played it yet, but BOTW was absolutely a masterpiece.

That said, the NPC scripting and interactions are way simpler than Bethesda games, and there's very little in terms of even marginally open ended quests. It's a great open world, but it's pretty on rails story wise outside the order in which you tackled areas.

Well yeah, that's what happens when you make enormous games with basically no player safely rails. With unrestricted freedom comes unpredictable interactions and inevitable bugs. Feel free to point out any other game that comes close to the scale of a Bethesda game without being full of bugs.

Thank you for being one of the few people in this thread with any sense.

Not just that, there's a bunch of nutjobs that believe FEMA is using the disaster as cover to nationalize the lithium mines near Chimney Rock. There are groups organizing to try to hunt down first responders.

Well, you absolutely can because the argument was immediately withdrawn as completely unenforceable, just like this certainly will be.
