squid, do gaming w Cyberpunk's storytelling makes Starfield seem ancient - Opinion

I can agree, cyberpunk has a much gritter mature and well thought out world were as Bethesda titles demand cognitive dissonance

Pratai, do gaming w Cyberpunk's storytelling makes Starfield seem ancient - Opinion

No, it’s Bethesda that makes Starfield seem ancient.

Tbh is the ending of this one is as uninspired as the original game, I won't be picking it up.
Game is fairly fun, gets repetitive by the end, but I'm kinda tired of games that just end unceremoniously. Looking at you too, stray.

4am, do games w Cancelled loot shooter Hyenas allegedly "Sega's biggest budget game ever", new report claims

“Gleeful Audacity” is the best way I’ve heard to describe the “Harley Quinninfication” of game characters.

Can we stop with the ultra polished sexy ringleader clown steampunk eyeliner girls? It’s tired AF.

FracturedEel,

How many are there really?

wooki,

I’m curious as well tbh

peasinspace,

tell me where they are so i can avoid them

lester,

I mean, I don’t like this particular stereotype as well but it’s hardly a trend.

PoetSII, do games w Cancelled loot shooter Hyenas allegedly "Sega's biggest budget game ever", new report claims

This was the most “design by trends the CEO’s son saw five years ago” game I’ve ever seen. From day one you could tell it’d be DOA since it would be arriving years late and millions of dollars short, with absolutely zero soul or intent. You could smell the cash shop and sandpaper one-liners from a mile away. I feel for the devs at CA that have been pushed into making this game, and are now facing layoffs for it’s inevitable failure. It’s really time the C-suite started getting consequences for their poor decisions. Let CA make Aliens Isolation already dammit.

SEGA spent the most money ever… on a game that was years late to an old sub-genre, while mimicking games that had already failed like Lawbreakers. Great job.

clearleaf,

There are so many parallels to Lawbreakers that it’s kind of freaky. History has completely repeated itself.

I don’t get it. The game looked completely unremarkable. Even its big hook of having some microgravity stuff was barely present in the trailers. This was their big play? Really?

a “total lack of direction” around the game, with one contributor stating many members of the leadership team were “asleep at the wheel but they never seemed to lose their jobs”. The same source noted an engine change and “not committing to doing anything adventurous with the game” were all part of Hyenas’ ultimate demise.

Yeah, we can tell.

funkless_eck,

and gravity was done in a bunch of games - notably Borderlands Presequel but it was present in the original Quake.

Pxtl,
@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

Well yeah, but there’s lots of ways to make that more interesting than just “set gravity really low in this zone”.

As a fan of total war warhammer this is so sad but also so cathartic. Its sad that this is how CA and Sega executives treated their employees and their IPs, but cathartic because it proves that the community was right and we were being gaslit. Pour one out for the community managers who the execs used as disposable flak vests for all their shitty decisions.

Is it also not on Steam then? Hate this exclusivity stuff

Zetta,

Yea, big L on cuphead

freebread,

Yeah- tbh I can understand why they’d want to do something appreciative for the Day Ones but the Day Ones also could’ve bought it on Steam at the time.

Fjaeger, do games w Unity bosses sold stock days before development fees announcement, raising eyebrows

This isn’t insider trading?

ShadowCat, (edited )
@ShadowCat@lemmy.world avatar

My friend told me about this earlier and that’s exactly what I thought. They knew this wouldn’t be popular and would drop the value so they sold before the announcement, that’s got to be insider trading

Aux,

Now the share price will drop and he will buy his share back at a discount. Then they will revert the policy and share prices will rise. Boom! Free monies!

Daisyifyoudo,

And when it’s all said and done, we just have to wait, on our knees, for the trickle down Yay! Unfettered Capitalism working just as intended.

@WYLD_STALLYNS@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

When you think about it, trickle down economics is essentially getting a golden shower from the rich.

Daisyifyoudo,

Oh, if we’re lucky its just a golden shower…

NewNewAccount,

Trickle on me, daddy.

Bartsbigbugbag,

He’s actually sold over 50,000 shares and not bought any. It’s just unloading.

Aux,

It’s too early to buy back.

Whirlybird,

Read even the text posted in the OP. They’ve been selling all year, likely due to being paid in stock.

TimLovesTech,
@TimLovesTech@badatbeing.social avatar

I think the part where they had a trend of selling over the course of a year makes this not insider trading (or harder to prove if they were playing the long game).

mean_bean279,

They probably have automated sell of dates or automated sell of prices.

This is part of a consistent pattern over the last year.

He probably hasn’t bought any stocks due to receiving stock as part of his employment contract.

It could be insider trading, but considering how companies have been doing pricing structures and rapid shifts from free to subscription based and then seeing sales/profit increase I imagine it’s worth it for them to simply keep the stock long term, but an initial sell off was put in place at a certain price. Sometimes there’s smoke and there’s fire, and sometimes it’s just simply the fumes of capitalism creating a system that’s uniquely imbalanced for everyone else, but isn’t really insider trading.

IWantToFuckSpez,

Not if it is an automated scheduled sell and reported to the SEC.

Ajen,

Still insider trading, just not the illegal kind.

EnderofGames,

I feel like a scheduled sell shouldn’t mean insider trading investigation is off the table.

Does it really matter if they decided to sell just before they devalue their company, or they devalued their company right after a sell? They knew about both before hand, and they can have the same intent either way.

Bluescluestoothpaste,

I suppose, but that’s a different crime under a different statute Im guessing. (Tanking the company because gou have a scheduled sell, versus selling because you tanked the company.)

Whirlybird,

They’ve been consistently selling off stock for the last year as noted in the article. Many of these execs get paid in a combination of cash and shares. To get their full wage they sell shares.

BlazeDaley,

According to the Form 4 filed with this sale, the trade was planned at least as of May 19 using a 10b5-1.

The sales reported on this Form 4 were effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the Reporting Person on May 19, 2023.

www.sec.gov/…/wf-form4_169420518678431.xml

Anticorp, (edited )

Yes.

Whirlybird,

No, as the article says they’ve been doing it all year. Many execs and important employees often get paid a big chunk of their wage in stock. To get cash they need to sell stock.

Irkam, do gaming w Dev cancels Switch port of Wipeout-style racer blaming controversial Unity fees

Sucks because we really need a racing game on the switch that’s not MK.

Maybe something less lazy.

Pxtl,
@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

I know it’s lazy as hell, but I’m shocked how much I’m enjoying it in spite of that. Its real flaw is the shortage of courses, one that probably won’t get much better because the OG F-Zero didn’t have much variety either.

Irkam,
@Irkam@jlai.lu avatar

Does it require a subscription and does it support local multiplayer? Because that’s the kind of things we’re missing as well.

SomethingBurger,

Yes, and no. It requires Switch online. I guess for local multiplayer, you can use the SNES or GBA game it is based off of.

SomethingBurger,

CTR Nitro Fueled? It’s way better than MK. MK8 isn’t even the best MK.

Irkam,
@Irkam@jlai.lu avatar

A racing game that’s not about karting and more about cars?

MrMcGasion, do games w Eldritch fishing horror Dredge delays Iron Rig paid expansion into 2024

I recently played through Dredge, and enjoyed it so much I went ahead and spent the time to unlock all the achievements. I saw the news of this delay on Steam, and was really glad that pretty much all the comments there were praising the studio for not pushing something incomplete out just to hit a deadline, and encouraging them to take all the time they need.
