Seven countries need to reach the threshold and 1.000.000 signatures are required in total. The seven countries goal has already been reached, so right now only signatures are needed, regardless of the countries they are coming from.

kurcatovium, do gaming w Open World Games: yay or nay?

I can’t say one or the other globally. It is very much game dependent for me. There are open worlds that are just wonderful and it’s joy to play them and there are others whose world is empty and useless and that sucks.

One of the best executed open wolrds is old Gothic IMO (Gothic 2 is great too). Sure it’s probably ugly and bland by today standards, but the world is absolutely amazing. It’s completely open from the start, but player is so weak it is probably good idea to play semi-linear at the beginning. But nothing (except for tough enemies) stops you from exploring whatever and whenever you want. And there are tons and tons of things to explore. Hidden cave with loot? Shortcut connecting two roads? Place with very rare alchemy ingredient at the end of narrow valley? Shadowbeast lair? There is so much love put in there I still have cravings to play it even though it’s like quarter of century old game… Quite the same can be said for e.g. Morrowind which is another absolute gem from early 2000s.

But there are also open world games where open world either simply sucks or serves no purpose. I’d have to think about which games fall in there, because once it’s like this I tend to uninstall and forget the title…

I already signed last year. I sent it around all my friends here in Europe and they too signed. And then they sent it around their friends… I really don’t know what else to do.

SolarPunker, do games w Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?

Pixel art will always be great but…do you really need another fucking Pokémon game?

Elevator7009,

Nope, but fans would like one. If you don’t want one I don’t see what the problem is if you just disengage from the series.

SolarPunker, (edited )

So I cannot critique the idea because some fan would like this? I don’t see your point here, I’m interested in videogame as art, not to commercial success.

We also already know what fans bring to creator, look at Netflix series…people don’t really know what they want.

Elevator7009, (edited )

I read your comment less as critique and more as “fucking fans who like Pokémon” but I have a history of confusing harsh tone for a negative “you can’t like this thing, because I think there is too much of it” attitude.

Also, your original comment only says “do you really need another fucking Pokémon game?” It’s a statement of you not wanting to see another Pokémon game, but besides making a reach and guessing you think they are producing too many too fast, taking a quantity over quality approach, or that the series has reached its end by now and is being overplayed, it does not provide any actual critique of them. Not even a “the [specific thing in game] is awful” with no more elaboration. So I do not really see critique of ideas, just a statement of dislike.

SolarPunker,

You’re guessing right, that was the critique, a statement can be a way to critique.

addie, do games w Developer interview: my Q&A with the Heroic Games Launcher team
@addie@feddit.uk avatar

Heroic has made me start buying games on GOG again.

I used to dual boot “Windows for games” and “Linux for work”, and would buy GOG in preference to Steam because I love what they do.

Got rid of Windows years ago because it’s more of a PITA than it’s worth, and basically went 100% Steam because Proton is so good.

Heroic is so awesome - better interface than Steam, in many ways - that GOG is back on the menu.

Awesome interview as well, @PerfectDark - a really interesting read.

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you for reading through! I was really proud of this one, and so grateful to the team that they took the time to take it so seriously.

And I’m so glad you’re back on the world of GOG. By far it is my preferred platform, I own so few games on Steam - but my GOG library is endless :)

reksas, do gaming w Open World Games: yay or nay?

if its well designed to utilize openworld concept. For example, kenshi is very well designed for openworld. Kingdomcome games are well designed for it too.

Being lazy and not feeling like doing every single thing in openworld game is good thing because it will make replaying it sometime later nicer by leaving content untouched. But if the content is just finding one more collectible then its just awful gamedesign.

I dont necessarily seek out openworld games, just good games that fall into the slots i like. Unfortunately things have been very barren regarding that to the point i’m starting to lose interest in games.

TipRing, do games w What is your favorite indie game?

Absolute favorite is Outer Wilds. The only thing I don’t like about it is that I can’t experience it again. A true masterpiece of a game.

After that, probably Noita for sheer insanity. Deeply unfair, but getting a god-run going is that much sweeter. It took me ~100 hours to beat it the first time, now I can consistently win if I try but I’m addicted to doing stupid things to see what happens.

Chimera Squad and Hi-Fi Rush jump to mind — is that the sort of thing you have in mind?

Yeah! Exactly like those!

otacon239, do games w What is the most "Indie Feeling" game that is definitely NOT from an Indie Studio?

A super old one, but Grow Home from Ubisoft was a really cute little game that felt like nothing else from them.

Azrael,
@Azrael@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah! I can see that! Unravel comes to mind too (Out of nowhere)

Vinny_93, do games w What is the most "Indie Feeling" game that is definitely NOT from an Indie Studio?

Ori and the Blind Forest/Will of the Wisps?

Made by a smaller studio but published by Microsoft

Abso-fricking-lutely!

mic_check_one_two,

That was my very first thought. It has all of the indie vibes, but was published by the OG evil tech company.

So GOOD!!! You are right…

To further muddy the water we had Baldur’s Gate 3, which was made by an independent studio with AAA budget.

overload,

Yeah 100% I was getting this thought.
