If you need that much handholding, why not just watch a playthrough on YouTube and save yourself the money?

i no cap do this for puzzles that i don’t give a shit about and do not enjoy solving
- FatVegan@leminal.spaceEnglish3 days
I feel the same way. Yeah it’s nice to figure out a puzzle, but at some point i would rather stop playing than keep trying.

Because the concentration span of every new generation keeps decreasing. If they don’t figure out things immediately, they get frustrated and do sth else like scroll TikTok to get the instant dopamine boost.

When you were a kid in the early 2000’s, you didnt know about things like bill gates being a pedophile and “microslop”, you just knew that on friday night you were going to go over to your friends house and play halo and gears on their xbox. Those were simpler times

Microsoft was always an infamous piece of shit corporation. Shitty unstable software that people needed because MS was a PC monopoly since the 1980s.

Yes, though I think of them more as the times I unknowingly supported a company that was actively contributing to the death of digital literacy in the western world.

To quickly add 200 million unwilling new Copilot users for the next shareholder report since nobody’s buying the Microslop? Not that it’s a good reason, but that’s my guess.

If we dont sell this crap the entire world economy will implode. Now eat your Microslop.
5 daysAs it currently exists on other platforms, Gaming Copilot lets you ask guide-like questions about the game you’re currently playing. Microsoft’s official site offers an example question like “Can you remind me what materials I need to craft a sword in Minecraft?”
I haven’t used consoles for a few generations, but historically, switching between a game and a Web browser on a console wasn’t all that great, and text entry wasn’t all that great. I dunno if things have improved, but it was definitely a pain in the neck to refer to a website in-game historically.
On Linux, Wayland, I swap between fullscreen desktops when playing games, and often have a Web browser with information relevant to the game on another desktop. If it helps enable some approximation of a workflow like that for console players, that doesn’t sound unreasonable.
There are other objections I’d have, like not really wanting someone logging what my voice sounds like or giving Microsoft even more data on me to profile with via my searches. But it sounds to me like the basic functionality has a point.

“Aw dang, I completely forgot how to make one of the most basic recipes in minecraft.”
For the uninitiated: you take a stick. You take some whatever you think, and you make a sword shape. At the point in the game where you don’t know what a sword can be made of you probably have dirt, wood, and stone. Through arduous trial and error I’m sure you can figure it something out.

I think that there is a niche for platform-provided guides like on Steam. They’d probably not be user-created on consoles tho because of a potential liability for what 69_gamer_420 wrote, but either game studios themselves or existing 3rd parties could’ve created a web app to serve their guides in the overlay or integrate these into the game itself (prerecorded ghost-players?). If it could have been put as a standard accessibility feature by Microsoft, I could see it happening. And I find it more probable than a genuinely helpful chatbot because of too many dependencies on context in each and every game. I’ve already got unasked advices on a few games that boiled down to using mechanics not present in exact games I was googling about.

I’ll preface by saying I don’t think it’s a good idea, but-
Fallout TV Show (and friends) have brought a lot of new people to gaming that might have eschewed it before, a lot of those people have no idea what they’re doing in videogames.
An ‘AI assistant’ could help in a face-saving way (consider a 60 year old father who’s never played, and possibly chastised games in the past, is now getting into Fallout NV due to the TV show - asking their kids that they ridiculed about games would be embarrassing, but asking an AI may not be)
Basically, letting old people who hated videogames, play videogames.

In what way would the AI help
Like, what specific thing would it do?
- 4 days
In a Hello Google kind of way, I guess. Creating a summary of existing web pages, hoping it would be somehow correct.
- 4 days
Idk. I’m criticizing it and am not a person to use it. If anything, I’d like to read human-made guides myself. But, yeah, if Cortana/CoPilot would do anything, it would be just a neuro summary of first links on Google that you can get by voice inputting prompts. MS has no technology to insert itself into every new game in any way but with this crude and slightly context-aware voice assistant.
Why must people pay video games? If people don’t like it, just don’t play it. Watch a YouTube playthrough if you must.
Automating the experience of art is such a dystopian nightmare.
- yermaw@sh.itjust.worksEnglish5 days
Also they’ll quickly learn about games where you need to git gud. Most games, especially recently, come equipped with a “baby mode storytime” difficulty setting, and theres more slice-of-life job-simulator games than ever.
If you try and go from “games are for children im too old for these newfangled marios” to “bullethell deathfest 6” youre gonna have a bad time
They will train it on user input and have it tell players to “kill this” or “kill that”, what could go wrong…

Can Microsoft play its own games for me so I don’t have to play them?
- mrfriki@lemmy.worldEnglish5 days
That’s the idea, but you need to pay for the game first so that MS can enjoy it.

Fucking disgusting, Microslop cannot help themselves, Satya needs to be thrown out of the company at this stage. He’s going to run Microsoft into the ground and everything they ever bought. As eventually, people are just going to stop paying and using their stuff with this continued forced push of LLM garbage. It needs to stop. I use Linux as my main operating system, my Xbox Series S is an extra in my home. It will be replaced with a Steam Machine ASAP.

Hey… Not to worry. The goal is for us to be forced to use proprietary, AI ridden malware. Android is locking down, age verification and hardware level scanning laws are coming to every western nation. They would never just outlaw Linux but they could neuter its freedom and autonomy. Privacy ROMs will be banned soon, either explicitly or by being made near impossible to get. Every device, every interaction online, every communication, will be scanned for state approved guidelines.
Thiel, the Heritage Foundation, the Elsons, and a bunch of rich fucks and companies want to control every single part of your life. Mark my words when I tell you, if they get their way in the future, we’ll all be slaves (literal slaves, not wage slaves) and neurolinks will be forced in every single person. These people are disgusting and sick

Microslop trying to ease the comming AI bubble crash by forcing AI down our throat?
- pinball_wizard@lemmy.zipEnglish5 days
That’s really not true though. If Satya hadn’t guided Microsoft to their current cloud services model, their loses in various anti-trust cases could have ended the company as a penny stock.
These huge companies aren’t immune to consequences.
SEARS was untouchable, and is now nothing.
- BCsven@lemmy.caEnglish5 days
SEARS didn’t adapt. They were a mailorder king in the 80s, but somehow they didn’t feel online store was the method they should go with…which is just mailorder with an online catalog.
Same seems to be happening with MS, they don’t understand their clients.

Which was already the name of a feature on the xbox to have 2 controllers pretending to be one. Is it the same thing as the thing on Windows that keeps trying to force its way down my throat or something different that has the same name so when people complain online about it there will be deliberate confusion about the exact nature of the complaint until frustration causes users to lash out at eachother instead of finding and fixing the problem?
- De_Narm@lemmy.worldEnglish6 days
I just don’t see how this could provide any value. Assuming a new games comes out, there is literally no information to train on but the game itself. You kind of need existing guides for that and if developers have to write them themselves, you might as well add those with a good full text search.
On top of that, the age of guides seems kind of gone. Most games are quite on tue nose about everything and tend to present more tutorials than you will ever need.
And lastly, I just don’t want to write stuff out on a console and neither do I want to wear some kind of microphone for my single player games.
