baines, do games w Xbox consoles are now getting a fullscreen Xbox Game Pass Ultimate ad at boot, just a day after a 50% price hike was announced

lmao imagine giving MA money in 2025

LuckingFurker,

I mean, I’ll give them some money to activate developer mode so I can install emulators on my Xbox. I don’t need emulators on my Xbox but it’s gonna sit there doing nothing otherwise because I’m not paying for Gamepass

SpaceNoodle,

Why? It doesn’t cost them anything to flip that bit on hardware that you own.

LuckingFurker,

If there’s a way to activate dev mode without paying them I don’t know about it

SpaceNoodle,

Sorry, my comment wasn’t clear. I’m just saying that it’s total bullshit that they would charge for that.

LuckingFurker,

I’m in full agreement there, but at least it’s a small one-off payment to just use it the way I want to rather than playing cat-and-mouse with hacks and software updates

mnemonicmonkeys,

Huh? Just get an old Dell optiplex tower on Ebay or Craigslist and install Batocera on it. It’d probably cost a similar amount

LuckingFurker,

I already own an Xbox, there’s no earthly way that buying an old anything would be cheaper than paying the small developer mode activation charge for the console I already have (bought second hand a few years ago from a friend who had used it 3 times)

eatCasserole,

I kinda wish I had a gamepass subscription so I could enjoy cancelling it, but alas, I’ve already cancelled everything.

fictional Templar-run evil Assassin’s Creed gaming company Abstergo Entertainment

Did anyone else get a headache trying to parse this run-on description?

Cocodapuf,

I would have struggled if I hadn’t gleaned the premise instantly as soon as I saw the logo.

OmegaMan, do games w this level is amazing

This game did blow my mind as well at this part. It was such a departure from the rest of the game.

calliope,

It’s one of my favorite sequences from any game!

big_slap, do games w this level is amazing

this is one of the best video games ever made.

WFloyd, do games w Life imitates art

As funny as this is, it’s also a very common logo, being a varient of the Penrose Triangle. Honestly more shocked they didn’t spring for some better graphics…

MagnyusG,

it would actually be funny if they bought Ubisoft, because they’re the ones that make the Assassin’s Creed games, not EA.

P1nkman,

In the next game, they’ll shift the story so Abstergo to becomes the good guys, destroying the entire backstory from so previous games.

And it’ll be written by AI, including the dialog being AI generated. I hope it fucking tanks.

Cocodapuf,

I mean, as it’s made by ubisoft, it would be pretty funny if they leaned heavily into the evil Abstergo storyline as a dig at EA.

orochi02,

Didnt they do that in rogue more or less?

vaultdweller013,

Yep and honestly I think it’s one of the better Assassins Creed games. It shows that at their best the Templar’s are trying to guide humanity into its future, while at their worst the Assassins are children playing with powers they don’t understand. Mind you that’s within the fact that the Templar’s are power tripping assholes in most games. I kinda wish we could get a Templar equivalent to Origin, perhaps have the Templar’s emerge out of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire after witnessing the Assassins being stupid with an artifact.

mere, do gaming w What game changed your life?

I don’t know if it changed my life, but my god it was cathartic - Celeste. I’ve cried while listening to the soundtrack and I’ve cried while playing it. Like, actual sobbing. Having a positively-represented trans character in media, especially in a game as popular and highly-rated as Celeste, means so much to me.

Frontier: First Encounters (Elite3), (and Pioneer Space Sim (still playing)). – Found my safe space via such game. I go out into space, for my safe space. Life changing.

Soul Calibur. – I discovered it’s like chess, and there are depths to excellence. And, I don’t know how causal/influenced by it that I ended up basically looking like my fave character from it. LOL. Deep metaphors and synchronicities in it too. Life changing.

Diablo 2: Lord Of Destruction. – Ate up a huge chunk of my life. [Eventually] Learned the empty dopamine addiction hole’s to be avoided. Basically the game that stopped me being “a gamer” (as if I ever really were ~ was just a diablo2 addict). Found hanging out in the arcane sanctuary, the atmosphere, helped me sleep. n_n Life changing.

Minetest (now called “Luanti”). – Designed my house in it. LOL. Life changing.

I think the thing I miss most about this game is how much it did with hardware from 2005. It looked great, played well, had a decent length but also didn’t outstay its welcome.

I’ve played through it at least twice. I doubt I’ll ever replay City or Knight as they were amazing but far far too long.

jacksilver,

I liked Arkham City, it felt more like the game they initially wanted to make. Batmans movement is a bit smoother, you get some fun gliding elements, and it opens up the map so there is a bit more of an exploration/investigation element.

I think Arkham Knight might have gone too large, and I feel like the batmobile sections felt too tank like.

@Flamekebab@piefed.social avatar

They’re definitely fun and I enjoyed them but knowing how long they are I wouldn’t start them again. I had a similar thing with GTA IV!

Rokin, do games w this level is amazing

The whole game is amazing, but yes, I agree.

chronicledmonocle, do games w this level is amazing

Which Batman game is this from?

Rokin,

Arkham Asylum

brillotti, do games w this level is amazing

I thought that was a hunter from Destiny for a minute. Took me a while to see Batman.

You could definitely get Hunter fashion to look like this version of scarecrow. There’s a couple of festival of the lost pieces that would make this easy.

That’s one of my favorite games of all time. Thematically, the first time you see this scene, it does a lot for the presentation and story. Gameplay wise, I think it’s pretty weak.

dragnansia,
@dragnansia@lemmy.world avatar

If my memory is correct the gameplay for this part is only a platformer, and I agree that pretty weak for this game.

muhyb, do games w WoW dies with the Lich King

They all turned into Leech King years ago.

moncharleskey, do games w Day 442 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

Alan Wake and some other Remedy games are on the Steam Autumn sale for cheap if anyone is interested. And good stuff Atticus, I really enjoyed my playthrough. I think they did a great job with it. I appreciate the added depth to Cloud over the original.

Humble has a bundle going too with like all their games included, at least last I checked. It even had Alan Wake II irc

MonkderVierte, do gaming w The benchmark no one asked for: MacBook vs Legion Go vs Docker

Macbook is twice as expensive per FPS. No surprises here.
