That scene where you’re fighting the dude and she swoops in and breaks his face and is like “GE DAH” and the music is fucking epic. They can take all the time they need, I’d rather it be good.
I still don’t use gog much. Last game I got there was free through Amazon prime, I think. It was Lego star wars episode 1, and while I usually really enjoy the Lego games, controller support was totally busted, so I ended up not giving it much time. 🙁
Keep on claiming those free games! Its my fav deal in gaming now - for the cost of a Prime subscription you get a whole bunch of games, each week! A lot of quality GOG games, alongside Epic and Amazon’s own.
You can’t lose by claiming them, each month suprieses me with how much I get for an add-on to a subscription I already use :)
I was hoping for an actual release date rather than just vaguely mentioning the year. They did say a year twice before IIRC and it still got delayed, an actual release date would feel more real.
Are games “destroyed”?: There will always be people making cool games in the same way that people will always want to make art. If you look at the releases from the largest studios that get the most public attention, maybe you could chart a downward trajectory in quality with some exceptions. In general capitalism kinda ruins everything, including the arts. When profit incentives are prioritized over all else, it’s not great for the outcomes. As the games industry continues to mature, there will continue to be cyclical massive layoffs, less investments in innovation, and more reliable “safe” bets that often results in bland content. Again, even within such a system, independent and smaller developers will always be making good stuff. The more the community embraces and supports independent development, eschewing AAA titles, the better the health of the art from, IMO.
Are there lots of positive reviews for bad games?: Certainly. I think this is more a symptom of the games industry maturing as a capitalist enterprise than a cause of bad games. Many review sites have a business/engagement model that requires they release reviews as quickly as possible, and so depend on access to advance review copies. Big budget studios aren’t going to provide early review copies to sites that might give them bad reviews when there are plenty of sites who basically guarantee that they won’t.
Indy studios can be just as bad as major studios. I didn’t mean to suggest that a smaller studio is definitely better. Even small studios can be run by people trying to extract as much as possible with little regard for employees. Even small studios run by well-intentioned people can do crummy things just to stay profitable (again, capitalism ruins everything). Ultimately, I think people should look into the studios they support, how they are run, and their philosophies. Maybe that is asking too much, haha.
I guess…well I’ve thought of it a few times, but in the end (and don’t judge me, hubris coming here) the idea that there might be one extra reason to come to Lemmy - to bring even a few extra people in to the fediverse, well that makes me happy.
Its an over estimation of my posts’ worth (I see quite regular down votes), but I like that this is where you’d find my posts.
…if that makes any sense? Anyway, I have considered it many times.
Nice to find another woman on the Fediverse. Usually I don’t mind male-dominated environments as long as nobody treats me badly once they know I’m female, but the small amount of participants in !otomegames and !infinitynikki (both communities for games that are aimed at women) makes me wish for more women here. Meanwhile the gender-neutral !automationgames attracted a lot more attention.
I want to support content creators, especially the ones willing to post to Lemmy.
This also reminds me of kids just trying out creative pursuits for the first time, what with “Please no hate” in the title instead of using the title like an actual title and asking commenters to be gentle in the post body. Not wanting hate is just a normal and understandable desire, so I feel bad for even saying that, but I also only ever saw that kind of thing in the title of a post when I was 9 and looking at stuff fellow kids put online. Most creators, even those seeking feedback (and I’ve seen a lot of those), will put a request to be gentle in the post body. Their title actually tells you about their content and tries its damndest to appeal to you.
“Tell me what do you think about this video” also isn’t 100% perfect English. I mean, who among us hasn’t made a screwup before with the English language? But somehow this just… really reminds me of kids trying out creative pursuits for the first time. I can’t really explain it.
I think I’m also expecting a description of what your video is even about in the body, and your message could apply to any video uploaded. A makeup tutorial, a math lesson, an avant-garde art piece… I assume it has to do with gaming given you posted it in !gaming, but that is all I know. Something about this just feels weird and wrong and I figured I might as well help you (since you did ask for feedback) by trying to explain why I feel so, so offput by this post.
Also, I opened the video, saw the #dani hashtag, and thought “oh that guy that person on Lemmy was trying to promote,” had a hunch, and checked your profile to find you are that person on Lemmy who was promoting him. So I admit I have that experience coloring my perception of your post.
Thank you! The title was supposed to say/mean please no unreasonable hate. I meant that the hate had to be reasoned. This lack of skill to write what I mean takes us to your next point. My English is pretty bad because English is not my main language that I speak. I probably know the parts where you thought that my english was bad and to be honest I admit that when I wrote the script to the text to speech bot I didn’t realize how dumb it was going to sound. I’ll try better in the future!
My earlier comment almost had a section that said “and if English is your second language, sorry in advance about all the incorrect assumptions! Learning a second language is difficult.”
Best wishes! I do think you would find better reception if you put more information about what you are posting about in the title and body.
