shoo, wczoraj do gaming w Commentary on taking feedback as a game designer, from someone who worked on the original DOOM.

I feel the bad feedback trope is inverted in 2025. Devs will release a game, get a solid audience, then completely change mechanics or style or direction for no apparent reason. The audience complains (pointing out what they like in the original release), the devs tell them to kick rocks and the game shrivels up and dies.

cough ^Battlebit^ cough

biotin7, wczoraj

Agreed

warbond, wczoraj

What happened to Battlebit? I didn’t play it much, but when I did it was basically just voxel Battlefield 2/3/4. If they pivoted I sure hope it’s something stupid like survival extraction zombies or something, just because that would be the lamest possible direction.

People keep buying calls of duty like their lives depend on it.

Make it make sense.

Dyskolos, wczoraj

It’s probably “everyone in school is playing it, so I have too”. Yet only 5 people actually like it 😁

Must be…

ampersandrew, wczoraj

Our demographic is dwarfed by the type of person who only plays 4 or fewer games per year. These people play Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, EA’s soccer game, GTA, etc. Call of Duty is one of the highest selling games each year because it sells to people whose only video game for the year is Call of Duty.

Expected more people arguing about dark souls in here. There’s usually a contingent of people going at it over “I want to win on the first or maybe second try” vs “the game is about failing repeatedly until you persevere”

Lucky_777, wczoraj

I get the Souls like game type and the appeal. Not for me personally, but respect players will to grind out those victories.

When Steam had its outage recently, I decided to go through my GOG library instead to find something to play. Noticed I had the Thief Trilogy, which I had never played, so I gave the first game a try. I wouldn’t have thought that a 3d-game from 1998 would hold up so well! It pretty much does stealth as good or even better than modern games. Sound design is brilliant as well. I’m 10 hours in and quite hooked on it right now.

FlashMobOfOne, 6 dni temu

Love that we’re all finding cool stuff we forgot about in our backlogs and saving money this year. :)

random_character_a, 6 dni temu

Isn’t there a open source game inspired by Thief Trilogy that tries to improve upon it, with tons of community made maps.

Can’t remember the name.

Edit: it was The Dark Mod

Katana314, wczoraj

I could be wrong, I think it’s a rare case of a game releasing with zero levels. The idea there was to let people take it and make their own levels for it (which, I’m sure, many did)

chunes, 4 dni temu

Make sure to play the second one too! It’s widely regarded as the best game in the series.

massive_bereavement, wczoraj do games w The Best-Selling Video Games Since 2020

Switch Sports was quite bad tbh. I'll rather play the original Wii game.

MarcomachtKuchen, wczoraj

I also was shocked how little content the game had on release.

I’m a little shocked by how few of those I’ve even heard of

echodot, wczoraj

I’ve heard of four of the games on the list and it’s the four you would think.

Rusty, wczoraj

I’ve only heard about Clair Obscur because of the AI art drama.

echodot, wczoraj

I haven’t heard of anything on the list until we get to 8, and I only recognise the name I have no idea what the gameplay is like.

Krompus, wczoraj

Damn, have a look at each of them, there is some excellent gaming here.

fakeman_pretendname, wczoraj

Absolutely, I plan to :)

If you try to please everyone, you will please no one.

After genuinely laughing at this, I anecdottaly remember my father asking, “If your home sick, why are you playing vidya games?”…it was ‘Rise of the Triad” at the time…

I also added a shader pack for myself. I’m not usually big on these as i feel like they make the game kind of fuzzy and crank up the bloom

Same. I like the real time shadows and water waves, but the extreme bloom and sunshafts most shaders add are just not for me. I like being able to see my screen!

MyNameIsAtticus, wczoraj

Yeah, the bloom ended up getting to me, along with the TAA fuzzing everything so i just went back to vanilla lighting. On the plus side, the hydro electric dam i’m building in create doesn’t nearly cause my PC to crash anymore with how many water wheels there are

2 mininap mods? This is the level of greed they talk about in The Bible

MyNameIsAtticus, wczoraj

I was trying to get them both to work for the players who wanted each. Journey map was having issues, but i got it sorted out. Unfortunately i forgot to remove it though. It’s kind of grown on me in a stupid way though, I’m half considering keeping it for shits and giggles

Fizz, wczoraj do games w Day 532 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Create is such a cool mod. I wish it was around back in the days when i played nodded Minecraft.

MyNameIsAtticus, wczoraj

It’s like the only mod keeping me from making this modpack into an Attack of The B-Team server. I love create so much

Is it just or is anybody else excited to read these daily games, it’s kinda relaxing.

MyNameIsAtticus, wczoraj

That’s what i’m going for. I want to provide a spot for people to talk about games while sharing my thoughts and opinions

What’s your upload bandwidth?

I wisssh I could do this but I have 10Mbps up.

I want to say i’m 25 Mbps Upload, i’m not 100% sure though

WolfQuest RP servers were not what I thought they’d be. They are definitely not playing the season through cooperatively but without using the chat.

I’m pleasantly surprised that it takes two did so well. I hope it shows publishers that there’s a market for couch co-op!

Scrollone, wczoraj

Too bad their newer game (Split Fiction) wasn’t that good. I read good reviews about it, but when I played it it was completely disappointing: stupid story, repetitive games, no “aaahh” moments like in their previous games.
