I’ve had this on steam for ages but forgot about it, doesn’t look like a remaster so I’ll try it there first.

spizzat2, do gaming w Dead Island 2 is coming to Steam this April, Riptide temporarily free

Riptide, free for 2 epic days

Well, that was quick.

YuzuDrink, do gaming w Naoki Yoshida suggests it might be time for the younger generation to take on Final Fantasy XVII

As long as the younger generation taking over are well versed in the history of the series and in touch with what people have loved over the years to not run off into another FF13 or FF15 (before they started damage control before release to shoehorn in a single “moogle”)?

That said, I think what I really want is a game run by someone at the top with an epic vision for the experience who can make sure everything from combat to mini games are feeding into the grand scheme of the game.

wolfshadowheart, do gaming w Lethal Company smashes player record, retains top spot on Steam

It's a fun game. Part of its strength is the freedom it gives the players, I was playing with friends last night and we were having a blast. It's that mix of Phasmophobia fear and fun exploring.

I personally am not as big of fan of open random lobbies which is why I don't continue to play Phasma or likely this game, but they are great with friends. Excited for a VR version if they can make it work :)

Stovetop, do games w Review: Tales of Arise - Beyond the Dawn Expansion

Hoping they can get the multiplayer mod fixed after this update. Been playing bit by bit with a friend which has been fun, but it’s a travesty we have to rely on a mod because multiplayer wasn’t supported by default like basically every Tales game to come before.

helloharu, do games w Monster in My Pocket for NES is another licensed game that is way better than you’d expect
@helloharu@lemmy.world avatar

Oh my word what a throwback. I had forgotten about those things. I collected a load of the little figures when I was a kid, I wonder what happened to them…

redcalcium, do games w Monster in My Pocket for NES is another licensed game that is way better than you’d expect

Batman and Flash is one of my favorite NES game.

EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted, do gaming w Amazon lays off 180 employees from its games division

They had a games division?

Don't you remember that 2 weeks of astroturfing talking about how great New World was?

SamXavia, do gaming w Counter-Strike 2 ending support for macOS and older PCs
@SamXavia@kbin.social avatar

It's sort of sad that Mac players won't be able to experience CS2, I have a friend who refuses to get a PC and only have a Mac and I'd love to try them out on CS2.

Apple sure didn't make it any easier for devs to continue supporting Mac.

Poopfeast420, do gaming w Latest Nvidia driver improves Starfield performance on RTX 30 and 40 series
@Poopfeast420@kbin.social avatar

Last I read, the performance improvements are mainly related to ReBAR, which you could have manually activated before. A noticeable improvement, but not what some people might have expected or wanted.

finthechat, do gaming w Review: Eternights
@finthechat@kbin.social avatar

A lot of snark in this reviewer's writing style. I get that it's her opinion and her freedom to write like that, but man it was annoying to read.

Still, is a bit of a shame to hear that this title did not seem to execute well, since it has cool art, fits a niche that I like, and is from an indie dev - all of which are reasons that had kept me interested in this game since I first heard about it a year ago.

Ginkko117, do gaming w Cyberpunk 2077 dev warns players to check their PCs' cooling ahead of 2.0 update
@Ginkko117@kbin.social avatar

Holy crap. The only thing I wanted from this update is better optimization, and they instead are warning that things will get worse

skullgiver,
@skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl avatar

The game will actually use all of the CPU cores without mods now. The lack of SMT support has been fixed, that sounds like optimisation to me. Currently, the game is struggling to use more than half the available CPU power available on some systems.

You can still artificially limit the CPU to only half your cores, of course (by setting the task affinity for the game process)

SnowdenHeroOfOurTime, do games w Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield

I’ve not seen any performance issues or anything else I’d call for sure a bug in the few hours I’ve played…

darkkite,

i’ve only had one major bug where my game appears to be frozen but UI updates. pausing works too. hard to reproduce

TheOakTree, (edited )

Once every 20 or so times that I leave my inventory, my viewcone is placed inside of my weapon for half a second and then the game stutters and I pop back into my character’s head (I think the inventory screen may scale up weapons for display and it’s failing to undo that so quickly, but that may be completely false).

That, and one dialogue “loaded” instantly (it started the interaction but wasn’t prepared with the graphics) and displayed a black screen for the first half of the conversation. Oh, also, FSR is FSR and makes spaceship landings look terrible.

Those are the only notable graphics issues I’ve experienced aside from widespread poor performance, and they might not even be graphics issues. I mean, the game doesn’t run too great, but the core gameplay is definitely less buggy than FO4 or Skyrim at launch. I’m sad to hear people are having more serious graphical issues, especially Arc users.

doggle,

I’ve got ~50 hrs in game.

I’ve had 1 full crash, and a good handful of NPCs running into walls or levitating through ceilings.

Performance is fine, I guess, but I got the game as part of a promotion while upgrading my graphics card so it had better be. I believe folks who say it runs like dog on hardware that’s only a couple years old. It’s apparently unplayable if installed on a hard disk instead of an SSD.

All in, it’s the smoothest Bethesda launch I’ve ever seen (I skipped fallout 4, maybe it was better IDK) but that’s honestly not saying much. It’s way better than cyberpunk was at launch.

@mike591 Thanks for the warning. I took notice.
