tino, do games w PEGI gives Balatro an 18+ rating for gambling imagery

let’s just do like all parents buying the last Call of Duty to their 10-year-old and just don’t give a fuck about PEGI.

filcuk,

The thing is, this is likely going to affect their sales to some degree.
As a parent, you may have age lock on your child’s account, or search games by rating, or just not know what this game is when asked to buy it but judging by rating.

I don’t know how significant of an impact that is, but it’s unfair.

localhost443,

I think they’ve done them a favour in a way. If this was day one then it might hurt them but they’re past the point of like 90% of their sales I bet, and now pegi looking like incompetent dinosaurs is just a free second wave of social media exposure

echodot,

One of the big advantages of steam and online storefronts in general is that it bypasses PEGI / ESRB and their unnecessary Draconian nonsense.

Commiunism, do gaming w Balatro is rated PEGI-18 and Among Us inspires disgruntled people with medical needs. What other video games have been secretly eroding the very fabric of American society?

Disco Elysium features communism and communists (bad) but also has a couple of homosexuals (a secret cabal of organized people dead-set on destroying the ideals of nuclear family) as characters. I’d suggest you guys avoid the game at all costs, it’s too dangerous.

The quest for glory series was my favorite in its time. I still replay it every now and then

Harvest Moon teaches that everybody can own land and live a good life self-sustainable off of his own work.

I still wonder why the hell is this game classified as a roguelike? It’s poker mixed with MTG. Also, why are you crying dude? You made a literal slot machine.

bane_killgrind,

It has rouge features of building up a lot of utility in each run

BenLeMan,

No, rouge is the stuff that ladies put on their cheeks. You mean rogue, as in wildcard, untameable, privateer.

bane_killgrind,

Yes thank you

Rooty, (edited )

Semi-permanency is not a defining feature of roguelikes, in most of them every run starts from scratch.

racemaniac,

That’s why he said roguelite. Semipermanency (being able to unlock upgrades for future runs) is what separates the roguelite from a roguelike. In a roguelike, every run you start from 0, in a roguelite you unlock things that make differences in future runs (in the case of balatro: different decks, new jokers, …)

Examples:
Hades is a roguelite.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a roguelike.

I’m hopelessly addicted to gatcha. When I saw this I bought Balatro.

CeeBee_Eh, do games w Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat?

While this seems like a trivial issue (Just buy a third SSD for Windows and dual boot)

That’s not trivial at all. Don’t let anyone let you think otherwise.

noba_cmdr, do games w Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat?

On the contrary, I think kernel level anticheat should be illegal

Are all game rating systems just complete and utter garbage? Dare you to find a good one.

The ESRB isn’t awful, it’s not perfect of course, but I think it’s pretty dang good for what it is.

Schadrach,

I mean the point of all rating systems in the US was fear of government regulation of content and having to fight that particular legal battle. It basically exists because moral busybodies were upset about Night Trap, Mortal Kombat and Doom.

@wavebeam@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, this is true. And I think the industry managed to pull together a pretty decent one.

On areweanticheatyet.com it seems like the percentage of denied/broken keeps getting higher and higher :(

I guess it makes sense, new games come out with anticheat, and rarely do new games come out without anticheat.
