Northgard: Garm, Clan of the Hounds Review (ELRIX)
Disclaimer: I am not against AI
I bought this dlc only because I am a long time fan of Northgard and I also want to warn every developer out there about using ChatGPT (or any AI assistant) to describe their game contents lazily.
There is a certain level of AI assisted writings (or anything really) that people can tolerate.
For me, I could not tolerate lazy writing and I could immediately recognize ChatGPT's writing style immediately in under 3 second if they're being written without any love or passion for the game.
If you, as a game developer, doesn't even have the fire to write simple description for the contents you've made, why would I, we, the buyers, want to buy the content you've made? Just think about it.
I am not against AI, I am against laziness born from the over-usage of AI assistance. The lack of human touch in your content description reflects the lack of passion you have left for the game. This time, I give you a thumbs up as a favor to Northgard, your once great game. The one game you love back then.
I've seen this once and once is enough, Shiro Games.
The next time I see this sort of laziness again, I will make sure that I steer away from your newer contents and games completely. And everyone I know, will know of this too.
I wish you the best of luck and please keep on creating with love and passion, don't fall into the AI-induced laziness like many other game developers have suffered from. You've made something great and you know you're better than this.
