sirico, do games w Does AAAA just mean awful triple A games now?
@sirico@feddit.uk avatar

I would say I really enjoyed Sony’s games the last few years but they also don’t seem to be able to tell their non-creatives to STFU and are damaging their games recently so I’m inclined to agree.

Ohh Capcom are still good…right?!

Oh sweet summer child. Capcom is on a very sharp edge imo.
Their games are solid, but everything around it is utter god damn dogshit.
Sf5? Beta was very solid, was fucked up before release. Also had a terrible microtransactions system.
Sf6? Very very solid base game, but to get all character and stages since last year + the game you have to pay +160 euro.
Re4? Very solid remake, but prepare to loose performance on pc due to dunovo despite it being a single player game.
Re: the village? Very solid game, but better pay shit up and also loose performance despite ALSO being a single player game.
Megaman: mega who?
Monster hunter : safe, for now. Monster hunter wilds looks amazing and loads of fun, but watch them fuck it up somehow…

I like capcom a lot, have always supported them despite shit decisions and a few near bankruptcies but its the microtransactions/usage of dunovo and other weird ass decisions is making me hold back on buying their stuff atm…

Varyag,

Monster Hunter and Devil May Cry and Dragon Age: full of insipid, unnecessary microtransactions ranging from regular consumable items, to cosmetics that were usually just included with the game normally. God I love Capcom’s games but I hate them as a company.

Blxter, do games w Do you think gta 6 will have better story than rdr2?
!deleted4407 avatar

Honestly no I don’t. Red dead 2 was amazing but I would love to be wrong.

Fiivemacs, do games w Do you think gta 6 will have better story than rdr2?

Lol story. If GTA5 was anything to reference then gta6 won’t have a story and you’ll be forced to buy sharlcards before the game even gets released.

I found gta5 story boring, and rdr even worse. Nothing about both games could keep me interested. They lost a fan who’s been playing since Grand Theft Auto was released, not like they care though.

Neon, do games w How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase?

Gonna be quite honest:

The Nintendo Switc Pro Controller is probably the highest quality Controler I’ve ever had in my hands.

ladicius,

Support that. MS Xbox controller falls far behind it, and the third party devices are a lot of miss and no hit.

@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah. I love my 8bitdo Ultimate for PC use (and it just so happens to be extremely close to the Switch Pro in layout and sizing) but the actual thing is still works better in raw quality. Except no hall effect joysticks but eh, could always mod it yourself if you’re so inclined.

nantsuu,

This is probably true for most casual use, but after a couple months of constant weekly Smash tournaments, my stick eventually wore down and started drifting. The D-pad is also notoriously mushy and often picks up ghost inputs when moving quickly back and forth.

Both of these issues are fixable with some not so difficult controller modding, but I wasn't willing to make the effort.

I ended up with the 8bitdo Pro 2 for general use like someone else in this thread suggested and the Nintendo Wii U Pro Controller with an adapter for Smash that has been with me for years now. The only difference is that the Wii U controller doesn't have the built in accelerometers that the Switch controller and Pro 2 have.

catloaf,

Really? Mine is laggy for some reason, and feels mushy. I can see there’s a firmware update for it when I connect it to a switch, but it won’t update. I hardly ever use it.

Tetsuo,

I don’t share the positive feedback. The directional pad was especially terrible from the get go.

kaffiene, do games w rdr2 question

I felt the game doesn’t lean onto the open world idea hard enough for my liking. But I’m an outlier. I finished the game but ai thought it was a bit shit. Very pretty though

@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Once you make it to Valentine (youll know when) the game pretty much gives you the reigns, but until then, as others have said, the tutorial is pretty long and guided

vortexal, (edited ) do games w RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it
@vortexal@sopuli.xyz avatar

The Reddit community is part of the reason I stopped playing RuneScape a few years ago. The in-game community was fine for the most part, as players would mostly keep to themselves or just talk with their own groups. But the subreddit would get super offended/aggressive towards each other for the stupidest things and the mods always seemed to make things worse.

I’ve always been of the believe that all online games with subscription services should always be $60 a year at most. If you do the math, $60 a year per player is way more than what single-player games make and maintaining/updating online games doesn’t require as much work as making brand new games either.

And yes, I’m aware of the whole thing with the bonds and how they technically allow you to play the game for free but, at least compared to the old prices, they aren’t as efficient as just buying a member and Jagex makes more money off of them. So, I still think that Jagex shouldn’t change the membership prices.

ABCDE,

maintaining/updating online games doesn’t require as much work either.

Eyyy

There, I fixed it. It took me a while to understand what the problem was but I figured it out.

Tossed $6 your way on Buy Me A Coffee yesterday!

Excited to get into the beta

schamppu,

Cheers, and thank you for supporting the developmemt! Remember to link your BMAC to your WalkScape account and you’ll get access! ❤️

MoonlightFox, do games w I'm the developer of WalkScape, the RuneScape inspired fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL. We're now accepting more people to the Closed Beta!

The game looks great! I really like that you don’t rely on GPS, because of privacy.

schamppu,

Thank you! Privacy is definitely the biggest concern, but also GPS requires apps to be opened to register anything, and it kills the battery quite quickly (and requires active internet connection).

MoonlightFox,

By the way, I got such a good impression that I became a BMAC contributor, looking forward to testing it!

schamppu,

Thank you so much for supporting the development! You should’ve received an email that has instructions to link your BMAC on your account page. When you link your account there, you should receive download instructions either almost immediately (sometimes might take couple of hours for our automated system, but usually faster).

Happy walking, and remember to stay hydrated ❤️

MoonlightFox,

I have the game installed now 😀 I like that all steps go towards a goal of some sort.

Found a tiny typo with the name for one of the hairstyles. If you search through your codebase for “adn bun” you will find it. Its probably supposed to say “and bun” 😊

schamppu,

Thanks for letting me know, and welcome! ❤️

merc,

Does GPS really require an internet connection? I know it uses the radio, which kills the battery, but AFAIK you can get GPS without Internet access. For example, I’ve downloaded offline areas for Google Maps and have tracked my location that way, while traveling in countries where I didn’t have a SIM allowing me to access the Internet.

schamppu,

Not necessarily, but in order to use map data, you’ll pretty much need it. This is why all of the GPS games require a connection, as they’ll download map data and cache your current surrounding areas

dethedrus, do games w Andrew Greenberg, co-creator of the classic RPG Wizardry, has passed away

My gateway not only into ‘real’ computer gaming but also D&D.

Blackmist, do games w Is assasin's creed origins good?

It’s decent, but a large departure from the previous games.

You’ll be doing a lot of levelling up in order to progress. Assassinations on more powerful enemies won’t be guaranteed kills.

It’s a lot more RPG-lite than the other games.

I think Odyssey was better, and very similar in structure. The only problem is it’s so long I don’t even want to look at another AC game for a while, and it was a few years ago that I played it. They all look very much the same now.

Skua, do gaming w Need tips, when is a non-campaign game considered 'completed'?

For Civ 6, I'd say winning each victory once. Try to do it with different civs each time too. You can set your goal as winning a game on the highest difficulty if you want, but personally I don't find that to be as interesting as the shift in gameplay necessary to win the different victories without just militarily crushing everyone else.

I signed up after seeing your last post. I made it into the last wave of invites and have been playing since last week. This game is really cool and I don’t think there is anything else like it.

schamppu,

Thank you so much!

I think why this game is so unique is that it’s origins are a hobby project and come from my sentiment of creating a fitness game that fixes what the others fail at. Rarely anyone makes indie games for mobile, and I’ve been called a bunch of names for attempting making an indie game to the mobile platform by other devs. But so far things are looking great, and I’m hoping that the mobile game industry would have more indie games.

Maybe with DMA we could start seeing more, as the biggest hurdle are the app stores and how they’re made to only favour games with big budgets.

jodanlime,
@jodanlime@midwest.social avatar

I agree with everything you said, only that I’m not quite sure what DMA is.

I want more indie games on my phone because the major mobile app developers are beyond trash at this point. I love indie devs, I love FOSS and indie games. I prefer programming that lends itself to democratizing the web and my devices.

Your game is a breath of freedom right now in the mobile marketplace. I made it in on the free invite system, but the fact that you are on the fediverse talking to me, coupled with the fact that your game and end goal seam awesome, I’m going to figure out how to become a donating member as soon as I get home.

I’m out on a night walk right now with my walkscape app open, while typing this reply. Amazing times.

schamppu,

Thank you so much! And I’m a huge fan of both indie & FOSS too.

DMA (Digital Markets Act) is a new EU legislation that came into effect just few months ago. It forced both Apple and Google to allow third party app stores and change their ToS (I think in EU only). Apple even had to lower their “developer tax” when it comes to payments from 30% to just 12% in EU. It’s good progress, especially if we start seeing competing app stores (I think Epic had plans for that). But even if the app stores open up for smaller studios, there’s still a lot of convincing needed until gamers start considering that mobile games can be good too, and not only match-3 gacha crap. And the big studios never want to innovate, they’ll keep making games that they think are safe bets to generate maximum profits.

Maybe Valve could now expand to having a mobile game store? :D

Fizz, do gaming w Single player RPG
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

I know you specifically asked for not this but its the only game i know that is a good rpg on mobile. You could play old school Runescape. Its essentially single player since there aren’t many parts of the game that require co operation. You will see other players walking around the world and talking but you can turn public chat off so you never need to see anything they say. The game is incredibly light on data usage since it was designed as a browser game in the 2000s.
