barsquid, do games w I'm tired of every game being live service

I am fighting this trend by not buying those games. Online connection for single player means I don’t buy it. Unnecessary third-party account means I don’t buy it. Packing a rootkit installer means I don’t buy it.

callouscomic,

This game actually has an incredibly good story.

Bullshit. This shit isn’t a bug. It was purposeful as a test to reception and to desensitize people

disguy_ovahea, (edited ) do gaming w A sacrifice for the greater good

I go the other way. When AA/AAA batteries are too weak for high drain devices, I save them for my remote controls. They usually last for months due to the intermittent use and low wattage.

SnotFlickerman, do gaming w What games would you recommend others to just play on easy difficulty

Anything where you’re more interested in the story than the challenge.

So… story-driven games.

Omegamanthethird,

I wonder what game stories benefit from a bit of challenge.

Like, I feel like The Last of Us benefits from a little bit of challenge to drive home the anxiety and cleverness of the characters.

  • Buttflapper,

    I’ve known about this for a while. Sadly, I don’t think it’ll ever be finished. Even if it is, Skyrim is an extremely old engine and looks like crap, runs like crap. I modded the hell out of it with 4k graphics on an RTX 4070… It’s just awful. The engine isn’t great. They need to make something new. Even Starfield had the same old ass dated engine.

    Renacles,

    Most of the work is done and they are aiming to release next year, at this point I’d be surprised if it doesn’t get done.

    In any case, this is a project that a lot of people have been working on, for free, for over a decade, I wouldn’t tell them it will look like crap even if I really thought so.

    What does “4k graphics” even mean? Did you just install 4k textures for everything or what? Either way, you can get modded Skyrim to look very beautiful, without being insanely demanding. I guess it depends on your resolution, but a 4070 should be able to manage it just fine, so I’m not sure what you did.

    They made a gigantic mistake by announcing it so early, but at the same time, a lot of people take it way too far with the excitement. Let them cook

    @Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

    You could have asked this in one of your multiple Red Dead threads. I think at least a few of us would prefer one thread per game series. There is no need to have 3 Mafia threads and 3 Red Dead threads all within 24 hours of each other

    As for your question I don’t actually know. I know system requirements don’t always mean shit, but it is a place to start, and get an idea of what the game will need

    Edit: as with most of your questions, it is a quick search away to find an answer. If you actually engaged in any of the conversations I would be more inclined to post it for you. You seem more interested in asking questions than actually receiving any answers

    Portal

    EldritchFeminity,

    Surprised to only see this mentioned a couple of times in here. This and the sequel are probably the two games I would recommend everyone play, gamers and non-gamers alike. They’re just that good and easy to get into from a controls perspective.

    Wrufieotnak,

    Most likely because we people >30 don’t see it as an older game. =D

    Jeanschyso,

    If I’m going to recommend old games, it’ll be mostly games from the age of Intel Pentium 3, before all this newfangled multi core stuff they’re up to these days. Anything that comes after that is someone else’s to go to bat to. Heck I was playing Doom for a few years at a cousin’s house before we had our family computer in 98

    GBU_28, do games w Avowed is getting delayed to early 2025

    Who cares, wait for a game to be out for many months before purchase. It will generally be more stable, and often on sale.

    squirrelwithnut, do gaming w Best Soulslike game for beginners?

    Elden Ring is the best one for beginners, because if you get stuck at a boss you can just leave that area and go somewhere else. You are very rarely ever “stuck”. That is not the case with any of the other Soulsborne games.

    In addition, it has spirit summons which make the game significantly easier.

    And since it’s the newest one AND has a DLC coming out soon, it’s also the most played one right now. So finding other players for co-op is easy.

    I also consider the bosses, on the whole, to be the easiest of all of the FROM Software games.

    Juice,

    I second this, one of my good friends only started gaming over covid. We were all hardcore souls players and helped her get through bloodborne and ds3 but she was basically just letting us handle most of the fighting. But when ER came out she got really into it and has played through solo several times. From Software took a lot of the pain points out of the format while keeping it challenging and fresh. Elden ring also has great online, I wasn’t a huge fan of the game (I prefer Bloodborne, Sekiro and AC 6) just I spent hundreds of hours just running around the Lands Between with my friends during covid.

    squirrelwithnut,

    Yeah you’re right. I forgot to mention that with Elden Ring, FROM smoothed away a lot of the rough edges of the older games. And because of that it is much easier to get into for newer players. I’m glad you friend enjoyed it.

    ObsidianZed,

    Also the biggest positive is the capability of fast traveling from your map from anywhere as long as you aren’t in combat.

    It removes the hesitation to explore areas from which you can’t return easily.

    That’s the biggest thing that made Elden Ring significantly less stressful for me.

    Plus you don’t have to worry about weapon durability.

    rubikcuber, (edited ) do gaming w With studio closures, why is no one talking about the people who sold the studios?
    @rubikcuber@feddit.uk avatar

    As a game studio - a developer rather than a publisher - it’s very much hand to mouth. You are paid by the publishers on delivery of milestones. Milestone reviews can sometimes be subjective. You’re basically the lowest link in the food chain and can be subject to a publisher’s whim, which can often be a bit random depending on your external producer. Keeping such a studio open in the long term is about chasing new contacts, and any gaps between contacts is expensive because you aren’t generating any income, but are having to pay wages. One or two project cancellations can easily shutter an independent developer.

    In some cases studio owners may simply want out, or they might legitimately see a sale as bringing stability to the studio… Or it might just be greed. But I think it’s hard to say whether a studio would have a safer long term future being independent or being sold.

    Don_alForno, do gaming w Why are there two different genres both called ARPG?

    I don’t get why Diablo-likes are called ARPG’s.

    We used to call them “Hack 'n Slash”. I guess studios didn’t think that term marketing friendly.
