Game Quest Insights

Game development is a constant battle between what developers want and what players demand. Some features are seen as “must-haves” by players, yet developers would gladly erase them if given the chance. These features break balance, complicate development, or even undermine the core design of the game. Here are ten of the most frustrating ones that devs simply can't remove: 1.

Now, many updates just give us overpriced micro-content—tiny maps, reskinned weapons, or rehashed story missions. Worse yet, some updates lock previously free features behind paywalls. Series like Assassin’s Creed and Call of Duty h...

Have you ever wondered what would happen if all characters in a story had their dialogues written by ChatGPT? The results might be surprisingly logical, overly polite, and sometimes unintentionally hilarious. Here’s a glimpse into a world where ChatGPT dictates every conversation. 1. Excessive Politeness and Rationality Character A : I understand your perspective, but could we explore this issue within a broader context? Character B : Your point is valid. However, for accuracy, let’s review the relevant background together. ( Even arguments sound like academic debates. ) 2. Romantic Drama Turns into Intellectual Discourse Girlfriend : Do you even love me anymore? Boyfriend : Your question raises an interesting point regarding the nature of love. In philosophy and psychology, love is defined as… ( Girlfriend: Let’s break up. ) 3. Battle Scenes Become Friendly Discussions Martial Artist A : Take this! Martial Artist B : Your attack angle is impressive, but if you adjust your timi...
