Dogshit pay for dogshit writing. Seems like par for the course.

Honestly surprised that the dev company known for milking DLC for decades decided not to release its Sims knockoff

If by “milking” you mean “releasing major content additions semi regularly”, then yes.

BakerBagel,

And PI multiplayer lets everyone play with host’s DLC regardless of who else has bought it.

rustyfish, (edited ) do gaming w Kotaku EIC Resigns Over New Editorial Edict
@rustyfish@lemmy.world avatar

Hold on? Do I get this right?

By guides they mean actual guides for games? Like that stuff that I and literally any other person look up on YouTube and go for the shortest video available? Or, in more complex cases, go straight to the Wiki ignoring any other site that is just there to waste my time? Please tell me I am wrong.

“I’ve resigned from Kotaku and Jim Spanfeller is an herb.”

Someone give this woman a medal. Fantastic.

Edit: Forget what I said. They actually mean THAT by guides. It says it in the article, my brain just jumped a paragraph. Derp.

Oh boy! Let’s see how this will turn out for Kotaku!

Lojcs,

Ign or strategy wiki are my first go when I’m stuck at a game. I can’t skim videos and game wikis usually have more information than what I want at that moment (spoilers and such).

rustyfish,
@rustyfish@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I get you. Maybe it’s more of a personal preference. As someone who, in most cases, is relatively indifferent to spoilers, I prefer other sources.

I still think Kotaku is fucking up right now, tho.

I guarantee your illiterate ass didn’t read a word of this article.

hey now that's not very nice. if you want to suck off Nathan Grayson that's your problem not mine. I guarantee you it being a Nathan Grayson article makes it even worse.

Keep it civil, thank you.

SmilingSolaris,

Civility is for the case of people trying to have genuine conversations. There is no civility in people blatantly saying something untrue. There is no conversation. He has stood up on his soap box and declared a lie in the hopes that he could trick unsuspecting people. He deserves no civility because he has none of his own.

Dremor,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

Then he deserves his downvotes, not your insults.

The rules are the rules.
They were collectively written to keep conversation as non-toxic as possible. If you wish to change them, feel free to create a topic on the matter.
In the meantime, my work is to upheld them.

Interesting article.

I love how they are not directly taking the piss out of the quote, but going out of their way to show how there’s a vastly different meaning behind what he’s saying in opposition to what he intended.

You know, in layterms, he doesn’t fucking know the words that come out of his mouth.

Rexelpitlum, do gaming w X-Wing Is Video Gaming's Greek Fire

Remember playing this quite some time at a friends. But I think we played Wing Commander even more for some reason.

And way before that: Elite on a C64. That blow my mind at the time. Connected lines in 3D! Wow. And yes, I am old.

But my favorite of all time has to be Privateer II - The Darkening. Relatively open world with a cool background story and incredibly immersive with fitting prerendered cutscene visuals and lots of real actors doing the keyscenes.

Ashyr,

Nothing like sitting in the lounge of the TCS Tiger’s Claw, discussing the recent battle or the state of the war.

The fact that Elite was made to work with that amount of complexity on a C64 was absolutely mindblowing at the time. So often we forget how far things have come.

TheHolyChecksum, do games w The New Games Journalism, Same As The Old Games Journalism - Aftermath

They used Outer Wilds screenshots in their article and never even mentionned that game. Is this written by a language model or something?

Coelacanth, do games w Grown Adult Coward: 'I'm OK With Just Watching Alan Wake II' - Aftermath
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

I wish I could play it, but I don’t think my PC could handle it, being right at the edge of minimum specs. Has anyone played it on a 2060? I can live with 1080p and no Ray Tracing but I’m scared of sub-30 FPS.

Hurmeli,

From what I’ve read it runs just fine on min spec. They made them very conservative.

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Forgot to mention I have a gaming laptop. So not equivalent of the 2060 in performance, although it contains the mesh shader support so it won’t literally refuse to run. But seeing as the desktop variant is minimum spec I’m not optimistic.

beefcat,
@beefcat@lemmy.world avatar

it is ok on a 2060. the high minimum spec is not because of performance, but because older GPUs do not support mesh shaders. that is why it runs ok on a 2060 while being unplayable on the much faster 1080 Ti

Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w It's Been A Bad Year For The Video Game Industry, But A Good One For Unions

The unionization drive among testers, developers, and others has been one of the few good trends in the gaming industry this year. Hopefully, we'll see more unions form in 2024 and beyond.

@Serz@beehaw.org avatar

I like that they experiment around a lot, it probably keeps the work from getting dull for them too with how long they’ve been working on this game. This studio might be my favorite, they’re great with their community and any problems I have with the game’s systems or mechanics (pets, arcanes, under-performing frames, operators, etc.) end up getting fixed. It’s always improving and giving me something to come back to that makes the game feel fresh, even after about a decade of on and off playing!

theangriestbird,

i have mad respect for them. I play similar stuff like Genshin so my F2P time is all eaten up, but I love that Warframe continues to do whatever the f they want.

ICastFist, do games w Hey Sony, Can You Not
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

M$ monopolizes swathes of the game industry (and several other computer related areas) while Sony monopolizes nearly everything else media related. This is NOT how market competition is supposed to happen.

BTW, Gotcha Gotcha Games is the owner of RPG Maker and Pixel Game Maker, make of that what you will.

L0rdMathias, do games w Freelance Video Game Journalists Are Propping Up The Industry, And Many Are Being Paid Dogshit In Return

These parasites man lmfao unreal. Propping up what industry exactly, their own subgenre of niche writing? Pretty sure the game developers, tech companies, and hardware manufacturers are the ones by far and large carrying the actual gaming economy.
