Because ChatGPT was first.

Yeah but it hasnt improved at all since. All efforts seem to go only toward GPT4 and whatever future release comes next. GPT3 is seriously flawed and held back for finding information on anything due to its time cap. At best, it can just serve as a writing cheat tool

https://www.cyberhaven.com/blog/chatgpt-vs-google-bard-usage-statistics/

According to the link above, Bard is still 30x less used compared to ChatGPT.
I've used both extensively and honestly, both produce about the same results. Except Bard DOES edge out with a few advantages.

1. It's more human-like in its responses. In comparison, Chatgpt feels like it just pulled all its shit from Wikipedia and tosses one big chunk of info at you.
2. Bard is in real-time, ChatGPT isn't.

Of course, I'm only comparing ChatGPT3 to Bard, not GPT4 but I'm sure most people whose companies didnt endorse OpenAI cant use ChatGPT4 either anyway. In such a case, Bard does prove more useful compared to free GPT3.It's really not a bad AI and just got bad rep from the mishap in Google's initial presentation.

Am I the only one that thinks sentient AI robots will never become a reality, unlike in sci-fi movies? Everyone is too damn scared right now to accept it. Right now there's only one robot I know of being developed to highest sentience called Ameca. Even then, the robot isnt exactly popular. Most investors shy away from it and the general public shuns such projects. No wonder there arent more robot projects going on in the world. Just this one.

Just think about it. Humanity has NEVER been able to predict our own future at all. 100 years ago people think we'd be having flying cars and jetpacks today. Nope, didnt happen. 200 years ago, people wouldn't have been able to fanthom two world wars happening and we'd be traversing in metallic vehicles

So what makes us think we can foresee a silly future with robots, cyborgs and s***? Just think about it. We undo our own predicted futures. Because of watching too many stupid sci-fi movies, humans are more scared of robots than welcoming of it. Sure, chatGPT is a thing now but at its current form it's more like just a chatbot than a full fledged tangible thing by itself yet.

She absolutely is the draw. Or do you not remember the Halloween after where literally every other girl who could pull it off dressed up as her. Porn as well, couldnt get away from her cosplay for like a solid month.

Even so, she wasnt THAT popular. Maybe just among a vocal minority of female cosplayers. I dont know of guys who actually are fans of Harley. Maybe she's average in attraction (but Margot Robbie herself of course is way above that level without all that white makeup)

Crimsoness posted...

I don't get it either but it's because they think they can market Harlequin

Maybe Margot Robbie slept with the producer or some s***. IDK how else

Harley Quinn is a very popular character, and the best way to use her is to put her in Suicide Squad stuff so she has a bunch of people to bounce off of without making her be a "good guy"

Need a reminder that Birds of Prey was an utter failure?

Kitt posted...

Honestly, the og Suicide Squad movie feels like a bunch of WB suits saw Guardians of the Galaxy and was like, "We can do something like that!"

The diff with GotG is that the characters are actually likeable, dont behave like aboslute assholes and not at the risk of getting their heads blown off within one movie.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I read a lot of superhero comics as a kid. And I honestly don't remember Suicide Squad ever being popular dude.

The first movie did okay-ish in the box office but was ripped apart from critics. The second reboot movie did crap in the box office despite being well-received by critics.

Then WB decides to hire Gunn to re-do the whole damn DC cinematic universe again despite his movie's flop? And now they're also having Rocksteady make a SS game? Who the hell asked?? I remember gamers asking for a Superman game, not a freaking SS game. I dont think I've even heard anyone being a fan of a SS member aside from a few cosplayers enamored by Harley Quinn.

Then now apparently they're making an ANIME on Suicide Squad.

Dafaq, WB? Does the company even know what their customer wants anymore or are they just running out of superhero ideas to milk?

No.
Nobody seems to be able to create open worlds like Bethesda.
Every copycat just falls short and lacks the same feel.

You mean the kinda open world filled with re-used animations and furniture and decoration assets all over, and every single place barred between loading screens and tiny ass cities that look smaller than my school backyard?

Lonestar2000 posted...

Maybe if they released mod tools like Bethesda does.

They do now... check out CP2077's mod scene. It's advanced a lot since

People keep hyping TES6 but honestly, I'm more excited over the next Witcher title. The problem with Bethesda is their stubborn refusal to stop using their depleted Creation Engine. It's just ridiculous they're releasing Starfield at 30 fps cap and even still struggle with performance issues.

If anything, I have a feeling CDPR's next game will be more in line with Cyberpunk's liberating design now that they dont need to follow Geralt. That is, letting you create and customize your own character and maybe even incorporate BOTH third and first person camera views together! If they can add these two features, they'd have finally gotten rid of Bethesda's only unique gameplay features left.

And given their use of UE5 which is far more superior to the Creation Engine, the next Witcher could be incredibly advanced... Honestly, CDPR was already light years ahead with their tech advancement of CP2077 and Witcher 3. They created the first ever RPG with fully realized cities & towns... unlike Bethesda still stuck with their miniscule tiny cities, jaggy NPC animations and loading screens at every door.

I dunno, I think it's a good trailer.

it let's you know the game's tone, you see a little gameplay, and maybe gives you an idea of what to expect when it comes to what you'll face/experience.

It's a good trailer but I dont think it'll be popular among the masses. The comedy appeal is too niche

Will_VIIII posted...

I'm hoping that the anime takes a break once the arc wraps up and that going forward One Piece follows the rest of the shounen series with a seasonal format going forward.

people like you have been asking that since forever. Pleasr stop. It doesn't effin work.

One Piece is literally the only one shounen surviving anime right now in history still going on successfully exactly thanks to their disciplined weekly format. Also they've since fixed the animation all good, so I'm not sure what's still bothering you. If it's the pacing, jeezus get the heck used to it already. This pace has been like this since what..... Water 7? That's almost TWO DECADES AGO, bro

Holy hell they really really improved a lot since the prev gameplay trailer. Looks like they really took into account people's past complaints, like the combat mechanics and weird NPC faces. And the 1000 planets thing actually looks good here... if planets all look that amazingly beautiful...

I think my only qualm is that there may only be what, 4 companions to romance? But okay, not a bigger so long as they're fleshed out like in FO4

YourBestFrenemy posted...

You mean the one tomorrow?

yes my bad. It's tomorrow. IDK why I was thinking Weds

Yeah, looks like nobody cares

After their rather controversial showcase last year, here's hoping they've fixed all their bad issues. Some I can still recall...

1. 30 FPS. C'mon Bethesda this isnt 2017 anymore.
2. Lackluster shooting with no enemy reactions to bullets
3. Questionably bad NPC face models
4. 1000 planets worth it? Or nah?

Bio1590 posted...

Feel like more people would care about Starfield if it wasn't Xbox and PC exclusive

The reveal trailer has 11M+ views whereas the actual gameplay trailer doesnt even have half of that. Says a lot...

SSJKirby posted...

Amazing first game of one of the most popular super heroes gets a highly anticipated sequel

VS

a company known for putting out buggy messes is making a brand new IP that we know little about

Even though it's a new IP, that's actually ,precisely what I'm excited for Starfield about.

I mean if you look at SM2 in comparison, they're using the same engine, graphics, gameplay etc..
Meanwhile Bethesda's Starfield looks like a whole other thing altogether. Sure it has similiar bad gunplay to FO4 but the premise and world looks way more intriguing than exploring New York for the 3rd time in a row

I meant the Spider-man 2 game, bro

AND in just a matter of 2 weeks. When combined with the duplicate trailer uploaded by Playstation, that's 20mil views, which is more than 5x more than Starfield's

I dont know but this looks extremely bad for Bethesda... Their new Starfield showcase in coming in 5 days but I doubt it's gonna boost any more interest for their game

Chicken posted...

Played it like 6 months ago and the cinematics kept having people t-posing even now after the so-called fixes

I've never once encountered a single bug whatsoever in my entire playthrough so far. Are you playing on PS4/Xbone?

Spiritlittle posted...

It's dog shit.

Even on PC with an RTX 3080 and no major issues, it's still a painfully average open world game.

What the hell are you smoking, dude? Did you even play the game fully, or just quitted after 1-2 hours into the prologue??

itachi15243 posted...

It really is great, and very immersive, however the game gets really stale at the end. You run out of things to do and you can't just go gta on everyone with your crazy powers because the cops will wreck your shit immediately

So you have to go sort through the little things and side missions just to play

I like that. It's meant to be realistic. You arent meant to be some walking apache tank machine in some arcade scenario like you can be in GTA.

I need to get it on pc for the mods

There arent many mods per se compared to Bethesda games but enough mods to improve QoL a hell lot in making the game immersive. All I have are HD textures, the awesome metro mod, the pocket radio mod, the survival mod, flashlight mod and the mods allowing you to see V eat/drink stuff.

Drumiester posted...

I loved it, played and beat it a few months ago. Looks great, plays great. My only complaint is a complaint with most RPGs, too much bullshit on the map to do.

But yeah, it's a great game and it's a damn shame the horrid launch it had.

That's actually the most impressive thing of all.... even practically almost all the side missions I've seen are all unique ones. There's almost no infinite/radiant quests unlike other open world games. CDPR really gave their 100% in this game. Seriously. It's insane...

The cyberpsychos... the theft missions... the assassinations.... all are unique and hand-crafted to so much uniqueness.

I'm also using mods that require me to eat/drink/sleep to survive and take the metro station.

Needless to say, I legit feel like I'm living in the world of Night City. The world is utterly incredible and drawn to scale. Then I went out to the countryside and got blown away even more. How the hell did CDPR accomplish such a magnificent technological feat? Like honestly, it feels like CP2077 is waaaay ahead of its time.

CP2077 is truly the one and only true next-gen game I've legit ever seen... It's such a pity had a rough start with its Xbone/PS4 ports because today, the game truly 100% shines in next-gen and PC. CDPR never should have even released their game on Xbone/PS4

This is literally the first ever video game history where you can walk around an enormous bustling city in first person perspective (GTA V comes close but the city was still surface-level) and CDPR isnt getting enough credit for this revolution. Here in CP2077, I could walk into so many building interiors, all of which has incredible HD textures even... walk on the streets filled to the brim with people and each NPC always had something unique to say. It's also insane I've been seeing so many minor pedestrian NPCs just interacting with each other in diff ways.

This is like GTA but on lots of steroids. This is like a Bethesda game if Bethesda actually bothered upgrading to the amt. of employees CDPR has.
No loading screen at all, a city 1000x bigger and more realistic and incredibly varied NPCs. And let's not get into the absolutely insanely immersive storytelling of the main story. The characters all have incredible weight and personalities to them. Not once in the entire game... do you ever get pulled out of first person view. Every cutscene, every interaction, everything you do is in first person. The only thing unimmersive I found was that you can pick up multiple guns on your character without wearing a backpack.

But apart from that, goddamn this game is great... The only other game closest to immersion I've ever come to was Rockstar's RDR2

I think if Ubisoft actually just continued Aiden Pierce's story in the two sequels instead of diverging so completely to a whole new setting.... they might've succeeded.

WD2 was good but it was too far out of being relatable by completely switching the setting and main character

Jagr_68 posted...

Because they were the same recycled Ubisoft trash and gamers actually caught up on the bullshit for once.

So why did AC titles continue to succeed?

WD2 had a huge sales slump compared to WD1 and Legion just went on a huge discount today on Steam and I hardly even hear anyone talking about it... so I assume that sequel crashed failed as well.
What's up with this though? Both games got good reception and scores by reviews and people who played the game liked them too. Heck, WD2 can even be considered a huge step up from WD1.

in a concrete grid of tall buildings?? Not many.

I see you clearly havent been outside USA much...

Just go to most East Asian cities like Seoul, Shanghai, Japan. Even SEA cities like Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. The buildings are far more modern and plentiful than in NYC, and way taller AF. This is because these countries arent held back by historic sites. They were able to build up entirely new buildings from the groundup European and American cities dont have the luxury to do

Thats like complaining Batman takes place in Gotham

Except each Arkham game did have very different settings. First one was only in Asylum. Second one only in a section of the city. Origins gave a section of the city but in winter. Third one opens up the full city. It's a massive improvement each time.

And best of all? Each game actually has significant improvements to the graphics too, all culminating in Arkham Knight

You can see this vid here for the best comparison

If anything, SM2 actually looks worse lmao

A pic? You realize there's actual gameplay out there, right? YouTube is your friend.

Yes... thus my topic?

Murphiroth posted...

Who's we? Speak for yourself.

I've played every Yakuza, I'm perfectly fine with the same setting, especially when it's as intrinsic to the character as NYC is to Spidey.

Expecting anything else is foolish.

Yes that's why Yakuza sucks. Rehashed game over and over and people still gobble it up. God, game devs absolutely love such things.

People thinking this game sequel is OK are probably the same people buying a PS6 if Sony releases one today for $10,000 just because.

No graphical improvement? No visual upgrade? No new features? "Nah, it's OK it's gotta be good cos they put the word '6' in there"

MaxEffingBemis posted...

What exactly are you wanting here? For him to go to a different city or something?

uh yes??
I mean by all means, if you're fine to continually play in NYC non-stop, then sure Insomniac just found another customer to exploit while they just copy+paste their game world assets and start making effortless year-on-year sequels just like what CoD was becoming.

Murphiroth posted...

Why are you acting like NYC isn't iconic to Spidey and his usual stomping grounds?

Expecting it to take place anywhere else is insane

Because why would you wanna buy the same game thrice if it takes place in the exact same city? If GTA 1-5 took place in Liberty City, would people want to keep buying too? If Assasin's Creed kept taking in place Rome for all the sequels, that's okay too?

Who the hell wants that? We want variety

Go put a side-by-side comparison pic between Spider-man 1 and Spider-man 2 then and tell me what the visual upgrades are. I honestly cannot see any. Is this what upgrading from PS4 to PS5 means?

I remember back in the days when you could literally see the enormous difference between PS2 and PS3 graphics. Even PS3 to PS4 graphics were significant.

But PS4 to PS5 graphics are like... what? I seriously dont see a damn difference AT ALL

Like every spiderman game is in new York. Deal.

The Spider-man Far from Home wasn't. A lot of Spider-man comic stories werent set in New York either

I was honestly expecting them to overhaul the game entirely with brand new graphics and all, seeing as to how this is a very long awaited sequel and on PS5. Yet all we ended up with is a game with the same game engine rehash, visuals and mechanics...

And it's still in New York.....

My excitement level just dropped by 90% after seeing the trailer. It's just so underwhelming. Anyone else felt the same?

plot twist: OP here is actually the one who wrote it
