ITT: Folks comparing labor hours without cost of those hours.

Folks, coders who understand how game engines work and can make graphically intense well running games are 3.5-4 times more expensive per hour.

I really can’t believe I have to spell this out for everyone. Do you really think naughty dog or Rockstar aren’t hiring folks at 200k+ to work on these games for thousands of hours only still to fuck out up after 6 years of development?

I’m not saying 3d is better, it’s clearly too expensive for everyone to push these boundaries and different tools for different games; but this is just the economic reality.

CheeseNoodle,

But graphically intense is a supply side decision not a demand side one, most of the big hit indie games including 3D ones are either overtly styalized or doing a kind of pseudorealism that looks clean without having to model the refraction index of individual rain drops.

WolfLink,

Silksong is using a 2D hand-animated style, which is not cheap to make, not because of coders but because it requires way more work from artists than other art styles.

BackgrndNoize,

Who asked for these games to look photo real, I used to like GTA back in the San Andreas and Vice City days. I hated the look of GTA 5 and didn’t even finish it, the older games had cartoon graphics and lots of charm, these new ones suck

CallMeAnAI,

Everyone who isn’t being pedantic and ignoring the vast majority and economic data and sales that led us to giant graphically intensive open worlds rpg and action games.

You don’t like that shit, good for you. But pretending the demand isn’t there is head in sand dumb.

surewhynotlem,

I designed this penis slicer using the absolutely best components, and years of German engineering. I’m charging $1000, which is a steal if you think about the cost of the labor and parts.

CallMeAnAI,

Blah blah blah I’m going to ignore the economic reality of the largest entertainment industry on the planet cause hur hurt graphics for dummies. Prototypical dumb nerd shit.

toomanypancakes, do games w I'm playing Gears of War Reloaded, and I have a question. Will there be some point when the Chainsaw I've had for hours actually gets explained to me?
@toomanypancakes@piefed.world avatar

If you hold b it revs, and then you just run into an enemy without taking damage or you'll just stand there looking silly.

RampantParanoia2365,

So on PS5, it’s the O button, and X is run. I need to press both at the same time?

@toomanypancakes@piefed.world avatar

Sorry, I meant you can just walk into them. It'll stay revved and ready to chainsaw as long as you hold the button until you get hit.

You just hold the rev button as you walk up to an enemy. Then Marcus screams and the large body becomes many pieces

Katana314,

Doesn’t need a run button. And, something kind of useful is that while revving, the game changes from strafe controls to tank controls, making it easier to orient at an enemy around a corner since you can’t reach your camera thumbstick.

God, can these companies fuck off with their third party launchers? Its why I don’t buy any game off Steam which has that warning, not worth the hassle

XenBad, do games w (Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.

I have the same issue and had the same result with Rockstar. Ubisoft managed to change my email though after providing proof of purchase. Fuck Rockstar, I’m sailing the seas with their games.

SilverFlame,

Somehow I had 3 separate Ubisoft accounts with differing games on them. After a short back-and-forth proving I was the account(s) owner, they actually did what I asked. They combined all 3 accounts into one and combined my games catalog.

The corporation sucks ass, but their support did me a solid.

innermachine,

I had same issue trying to play that after a long time and after sending a screenshot of my steam acct logged in on a certain page they gave me a link to reset my info and I now have access again. What a pain in the ass it was though

I used to be gamer like you, but then I took a childbirth to the knee.

Spesknight, do games w Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency?

You obviously did not play on pc when if you didn’t have the newest graphics card everything was laggy but still playable.

bridgeenjoyer,

I wouldn’t play games my pc couldn’t run, for the aforementioned reason ha! I also dont buy new games until theve been out 10 years, because money.

yaroto98, do games w Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency?

I distinctly remember mario bros on the nes. There was like a 1/3second latency between pressing the button and mario jumping. You had to time your jumps (especially when running) further back than you’d expect to compensate. You just kinda got used to it after a while.

bridgeenjoyer,

Huh. To me that feels instant. You sure you had a working crt??

yaroto98,

Yep. On the emulators now it is instant. I recently stayed at an airbnb with an nes and played with my kids. The lag is definately there. Even my kids were falling off stuff shouting that they pushed the jump button.

Cocopanda, do gaming w Whine harder you assholes

I remember when I actually met Nazi’s in Kotakuinaction over on Reddit. And the mods banned me for pointing it out.

Zahille7,

Anytime I see anything from that sub in Google results I immediately skip it.

I mean they worship Asmongold as some hero of masculinity, among others.

Cocopanda,

I mean. They are all losers. You can smell it in the way they talk. None of them have ever had their dicks touched without over paying.

Feel like dudes who refuse to ever play as women or in simulated gay relationships are just depriving themselves of some quality content. I haven’t gotten to this BG3 playthrough yet, but you can’t tell me Ascended Astarion and Ambition Gale won’t be the most toxic codependent enabling shit ever, and it is gonna be enthralling to watch that heat up and burn down.

untorquer,

Stay away from Gale. The mechanics of romancing him are more toxic than the character themself. There is no indication of when he locks you out of other options. It’s like playing “Set a Boundary Simulator”. Least fulfilling romance imo. What a fucking weirdo.

Definitely go full in, “I can fix him” with Astarion.

Talking from many patches ago fwiw, maybe some of the mechanics were fixed.

Saleh, do gaming w What game(s) could you not get into but with a handheld device you started to like the game(s)

I know it is a bit of a silly answer but here we go:

My brother had installed a game-boy emulator on the family PC when my parents had prohibited gameboys from the house. My older siblings bought some though and hid them, but i was too young for that. (They also didn’t tell me).

Anyways, so at the time Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire was the hot shit. I played Ruby on the emulator and i loved it. There was just one problem. The “nebula” animation that is transparent in the gameboy version was solid in the emulator. When i entered a cave i had to find a way to pass it blindly. This was before we had proper internet access at home, so i couldn’t look up the cave layout.

I had to gave up after the second gym or so. When i got older and my grandma bought me a gameboy, i played Ruby like crazy as i finally could progress.

It really says something about the quality of its world-building that I can glance at someone else’s screenshot and vividly remember riding over that specific bridge.

Such a good game. And I have nearly zero interest in westerns.

Abraxas,

yep its memorable because you get robbed there, blew my fucking mind the first time I played and that happened lmao

Hadriscus,

Is it possible I never crossed that bridge ? because I have no memory of a robbery on a bridge

ampersandrew, do games w Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve basically been marathoning Kingdom Come: Deliverance II. It’s hard to state just how much improved from the original game without writing a book, but the highlights are that combat is way better, the stealth is way better, the mission designs largely don’t ask you to do anything tedious for the sake of “immersion” without something interesting happening along the way, and they do a better job of recording everything you need to know about a quest in your journal this time around, while signaling the things that they won’t. I’m having a hard time putting the game down. It’s Witcher 3 levels of “every side quest is interesting”, and the game gives you a lot of freedom. My alchemy skill is now maxed out, and there’s basically no problem I can’t solve with potions. So far, this is the best game I’ve played this year.
