Rather than an Auto Play Function, I’d much rather if some games, or maybe even just RPGs, had a ‘Speed Up’ Mode or the ability to Speed up the gameplay. The ‘High Speed Mode’ for example on the PS4 Ports of the older Final Fantasy games makes grinding much less annoying or tiring.

@@cbgg1585 To me, the term 'grind' always refers to a section in a game that unnecessarily requires you to repeat an action without any gain of knowledge or skill. So a core mechanic of hunting monsters to harvest their resources, and some of those resources being rare, is not grinding, as every time you defeat a monster you get experience with attack placement, timing, and monster behavior. That experience gives you the skill you need to fight later monsters who build on the base moveset of the ones you've killed or captured. But MH does have grinding in the form of gathering a resource from a bush or mining location, where the computer rolls the dice on whether you get the resource you want. You gain no relevant skill or knowledge by performing that task.

When I commented on it, she pointed out that it was a lot easier than having to wait or bug someone that she could pass the controller to for help before going back to playing the game normally. I am not going to lie: seeing it used like that seriously changed my mind.

"Autoplay": I see the merit behind it and also the caution of it. This is for consoles to emulate what PC already has. That being the emulation of "afk farms". Where the pc can farm materials for you in certain games while you are away to make the game less grindy. The issue with this however is that console games aren't that grindy to begin with. Thus enabling such a feature could be a message to developers to encourage more "Grindy gamedesign". . . which is bad. Beyond how this is a huge hacking vulnerability, other than that, the issue isn't the feature, but rather the precedent it could set for the type of games that come from it. It's a bad future if game developers take notice. Because how do you bypass artificial grind? That's right! Microtransactions for materials and experience boosters.

the AGC seems like a great idea.... BUT you KNOW it's gonna be a "micro-transaction" type thing ... which is just awful.... and then it will become hated.... so there will HAVE TO be a no-cost type... or EARN the ability to do (x) amount of levels or (x) amount of progress after you've played for so long, or gotten to a certain level.... or else they're just gonna be people that use it to level up their character to 30 with some of the best weapons/armor/etc then go into the PvP/online part and just whoop everyone's butts because they spent $100 but know nothing about the game..... it could turn into what the mobile games are like (paying to level up) for a lot of the single player games bu8t then it goes to PvP or teams vs teams and they will SUCK at playing but be the best leveled person on the team LOL oh and they'll be 12 ... and spoiled.... and have a FOWL mouth LOL (can you tell I don't game very much?) lmao

It’s the result of Twitch and things like that; younger gamers are ok with watching others play games without ever even owning the game themselves; this new tech is a little like that, the idea of allowing an IA taking control and play while you watch. As an older gamer it’s nonsensical but for a youngster it may seem like a totally normal and useful tool.

as someone who watches twitch a lot and streamers play games, i wholeheartedly hate that idea. the only reason i watch streamers play games is because it’s their sense of humanity that i relate to. taking that away just ruins the fun, i love seeing streamers play my favourite games

As far as autoplay goes, if it can get me through stealth segments, but then let me take control of my character after, I'll be happy with it.

I would be against the "auto play" for gaming. At that point, just give us cheat codes to boost our level instead of artificially inflating "our" gameplay time. Either you want to play the game, or you don't.

Regarding AGC, I think it’s always better to provide more optional settings for any single player game. Let people choose. The problem will be if people start using their modern AI Game Genie in multiplayer.

I wonder if the massive push by indie developers had something to do with coffee stain being split off from the other two, it definitely makes sense because these three portions have different visions and if one failed previously it hurt the others.

If it's possible to switch on an auto-player, then I think there needs to be rules. Such as not being able to collect trophies with it on, or not allowed to use at all in online competitive titles.

So game devs make it more grind heavy so you can pay to go faster and now autoplay so you dont play it. Why not make the experience good again.

Auto play as an accessibility option is great for disabled people who have issues completing the story even if it’s straight forward for normal people. Can’t say for any other use. These days most games have ton of accessibility options anyways which do make it easier for players.

I can't really imagine Microsoft going with a 3rd-party OS for VR. We're talking about the company that decided to ditch the mobile market altogether instead of making Android phones when their mobile OS didn't take off, and I'd argue they'd be much better off working with Google than Meta...

The headset announced is just a quest 3 with Xbox colours. Does come with an Xbox controller though. Would be cool if they added direct streaming from the console. Xcloud is cool but only really usable if you live near a data centre.

If anyone has played Final Fantasy 12 before they’ve technically already experienced an AGC type of gameplay. The gambit system offered the player to have each character perform/execute certain things at certain times. Specific areas in the game had enough spacing and spawn rates to where you can manipulate the system to play itself and grind. I can definitely see this as being a feasible option in RPG and action adventure types of games, but may not be practical for other types like FPS or platform types of games. I for one welcome that kind of thing as being an adult with a full time job and barely surviving takes up a lot of time I wish I had to play video games 🤣

The problem with the Auto play is it opens up the possibility that the Game devs design the games progression with it in mind and it becomes super grindy and unplayable without leaving your console/pc running 100% of the time on auto play when you are not playing the game yourself. Throne of Liberty had some drama over its autoplay feature so much that they just removed it completely. Also if you design the game to not be played by yourself why even include that feature/content? Why not just make it so its not as grindy and the player themselves just play the game as a game instead of including the grind as a chore why not just lower the grind when you know that part of the game is becoming a chore.

The idea that autoplaying is a legitimate concept for end users on their own game is proof that games are not as fun as they should be. Just ridiculous. Is it that the grind was acceptable when games were less common, and now that there are so many the whole mechanic of grinding experience is outdated? Either way, if you have to use an autoplay service, it's not a fun enough game. Maybe we are in an era where gaming is just an excuse/activity to socialize, and this makes that easier.

Embracer group killed Saints Row. It wasn't selling amazing, but it was still selling enough. Just not enough for a company that borrowed so many billions of dollars from Saudi investors that never actually followed through in the deal. Companies should not be allowed to spend money that they don't even have.

I think it'd be pretty neat for microsoft to "test the water" so to speak with Meta / VR stuff in gamepass. They already have the gamepass app on Meta (in Beta I believe) so they could kinda just drop a couple titles in there and see what happens.
