It's been changed to B-life.

[Metroid]

The AI required too much RAM, they had to optimize the game by removing it so plebs can play with 16 Gigabytes of RAM.

We don't want games to have a higher standards with higher hardware requirements, because people are cheap and don't want to spend money on their hobby.

Hello, team 64 gigs of ram haver here to say "That is nonsense. Blame bad optimization, not people with seemingly sane levels of hardware"

I got overkill parts as insurance against trash optimization passed off as "no man itis the potatoes to blame! Also anything we cut is to appease potato's/console peasants" Not because of the sales pitch of "Real gamers have real hardware for real specs"

Then again, that habit started when another dev cried over bug-repping 4 gig sized temp files of copy pasting the entire poorly optimized single save slot folder, then bugging out on quietly deleting itself on exit clogging up disk space (and the probable cause of the game shortly freezing the first time you load your save in a session) by whining "It is an optimization trick! we are saving you ram! SSD is cheap and the tech report dot com says SSD wear is a myth"

If someone came into your house and hit your PC with a baseball bat, team "Consumer always at fault!" would try to pass it off as "No see, the holes in your case are an optimization for CPU temps"

Majority of people doesn't even know what optimizations is, you can't magically make high quality gameplay work with low end hardware just like that.

Optimizations usually means sacrifice in gameplay or graphics in some shape or form, because there are hard limit of what the game engine can do with low end hardware.

And people who refuse to upgrade their computers for a higher standard is to blame why we get nerfed games.
If the game gets over optimized the gameplay will suck, that's my point.

Ah yes, the one game I canceled my pre-order on... Sure I own it now, but that was a years of patches sale.

Climb down off that high horse, some people aren't financially able to do that because they have to feed themselves and, I dunno, SURVIVE.

Seriously, no one is jealous of your expensive PC with ♥♥♥ spatter on the keyboard.

Is it time again, to shill for the best non-gamer keyboard in all the land?

Kensington spillproof keyboard for life!

$15-$20, stainless steel bottom with drainage holes, and a wacky keyboard sized condom over the inputs! It WILL survive your brother accidentally ♥♥♥♥♥ slapping a solo cup of coke across a room onto it!

It also has the cheapest plastic I have ever seen on the actual keys. I wore fingertip grooves into the WASD ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Don't discount resilient keys on your Gamer Keyboards, even a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ logitech one you grabbed off a discount shelf.

Then maybe you shouldn't play video games and concentrate more on improving your financial standards instead of complaining about optimizations lol

You should be jealous because that would motivate you to get a job and upgrade your computer instead of trying to drag everyone down to your low standards.

Newcomers might not know what A-Life is (marketing is important) and they've talked about it being in the game.

Bro speak about low standards but has 1480 hours in Starfield.

Just kidding, I like Starfield too, I just passing by and wanted to trigger you.

Seriously, even so, with the games we've been eating for some time now, even with the best PC in the world we can't even more run games properly.

wait.. cant they just have two versions of the game.. one with and one without? or is that a common sense type of thing thats considered heresy?

[monster wisdom]

Why did not left and option in game settings to enable/disable A-life? Actually, I'm very upset, because I was hoping AI will make Zone feel more alive.

We don't even know what really is their "A-Life 2.0". It can just be marketing things like a lot of games do with a new technology. Anyone can invent an AI today and name it whatever they want.

Stop being afraid, this type of marketing strategy has been used for years.
