dudewitbow, do games w $70 Mortal Kombat 1 Switch version called "robbery" as graphical comparisons flood the internet

Do people not realize that some, if not all store fronts have a clause that the base price of a game has to be the same on other storefronts.

I know its true for steam vs other pc store fronts, but i believe its probably true for consoles as well.

Will it still be playable online co-op after Sep 30?

Well that makes sense. The switch is a less powerful platform, an intentional trade off for the mobility. And at this point, it's on the older side. Either accept the trade off so you can play on an airplane or buy a more powerful modern device like a steam deck.

I remember reading the specs and realising I would have to put a hard drive into my PS3 Super Slim to play it. This model comes with 12 GB of flash storage and GTA5 might fit if you have nothing else installed. I can’t say for sure, I never tried it.

When there is nothing left to squeeze for profits, customers are consumed.

The confusion all seems to be coming from Unity’s end. It’s pretty clear to everyone that this is just plain ol’ enshittification.

As a fan of Ms. Marvel, I enjoyed the main campaign well enough, but all the MMO stuff is obnoxious. Luckily you can mostly ignore it and go through the campaign missions single-player. I uninstalled it after getting to the end of the story.

jballs, do games w Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gets a February 2024 release date on PS5
@jballs@sh.itjust.works avatar

Maybe it makes me a boomer, but I could not get into the remake as much as the original. I hated the real time combat. It made me feel like I could only control one character’s actions well, which made me way more detached from the rest of the characters in my party.

Flyingostrich,

Yo u are not the only one. I realy enjoy final fantasy games and I like real time combat. I do not like final fantasy games with real time combat.

I have not played the new one fuzzy came out recently, but tried the demo. I was not impressed. And I realy wanted to be…

Imo they have been going downhill since 10. They all have their moments and their appeal, but they are not as good anymore.

Real time combat just doesn’t make sense! You’re controlling a party of characters. You can’t possibly juggle the attacks and abilities of 3 characters in real time. So it forces you to pick one character to focus on, while ignoring the others. Which is just lame. The last FF I played was 8, so I can talk to how they’ve done it with others more recently.

c0mbatbag3l, do xbox w Cyberpunk 2077's major 2.0 update arrives next week
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

I wonder how the new cyberware limits and cyberpsychosis system will affect my V if I update. I’m pretty much fully kitted out at max level and street cred and carrying almost all legendary gear where applicable.

Will I just spawn in and immediately get like… over encumbered with cyberware? Will I have to restart the game or respec V with less stuff?

I’m gonna be mad if I have to give up my Kerenzikov/camouflage/gorilla fists/hacking multi-class. There’s nothing quite like invisibly slo mo punching out an entire crippled with contagion gang while their leader crow bar’s them to death because I gave him psychosis.

@AlexanderTheGreat@lemmy.world avatar

That does sound like quite the party aha. I’m interested to see how it is handled as well.

c0mbatbag3l,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

I’d probably trade in the melee if I had to, but I really like having the kerenzikov since you cant equip a hacking module and a sandevistan at the same time.

sp6, (edited ) do games w Apex Legends bans over 2000 cheaters as it gets set for the Harbingers Collection Event

Considering less than a month ago they were making headlines for mistakenly banning linux players (but eventually unbanning them, thankfully), makes me wonder how many of those bans are false-positives.

I was one of the linux players who was banned. It took them about 8 days for them to unban me in-game, and then it took another week for my EA ban history to change from “active” to “overturned,” with an email from EA. No apology, no sort of in-game compensation, just basically a “be thankful you can play again.”

~25% of the linux players are still banned. Some definitely cheated, some I would be shocked if they cheated, just considering the amount of hours and money they had put into their account, along with how enthusiastic they were about getting themselves (and others) unbanned. So shocked that I’m almost certain they’re false positives. Which makes me hesitant to keep playing - what if that happens to me? If they treat their Steam Deck and linux users this way, is that a game I really want to support?

darkeox,

That's the problem with non official support. You're basically in an unending beta-testing phase. Theres' no easy solution here I'm afraid.

sp6,

Well Respawn explicitly enabling Easy Anti-Cheat’s Proton support (plus the game being Steam Deck Verified) is about as official as we’re gonna get for the vast majority of multiplayer games. I think it’s more of an issue around EA firing 99% of their QA testers…

darkeox,

Well the thing with those "enabled EAC on Linux to see where it gets us" is it's non-binding and non-commital. And it's made explicitely that way so that support cannot be demanded from Linux users unlike Windows users who are explicitely mentioned in the systems supported by the game.

We legally don't have any ground to be supported the same as Windows users.

gk99, do games w Ubisoft Montreal's mandatory return-to-office order reportedly leaves staff in "turmoil"

To re-iterate, Ubisoft has done nothing to curb the sexual harassment issues that were reported ages ago and, frankly, simply not requiring return to office would’ve solved that problem along with a boost to employee happiness and workplace attractiveness.

@nimmo@lem.nimmog.uk avatar

I find it quite interesting that Ubisoft Montreal chose the same day as my employer to enforce 2 days in the office every week.

I’ll accept that there is a 1 in 356.25 chance that any employer will pick a specific day to enforce a return to office, but it does seem interesting that there would be 2 employers in different countries picking the same day. Is there something special about that day that makes it a special day to change where and how people work? (I know that there were events on 2001 that took place on this day, but that doesn’t seem too likely a reason to pick that particular day to enact this change)

Dienervent,

It's a monday. So that's already more like 1 in 52. There's been like 5-20 news worthy "return to work" announcements in the past year, I'm guessing half othem have mandatory 2 days, the other half have mandatory 3 days.

Multiply that by the number of things that happen in your life where a coincidence of this level could happen and you should be seeing this kind of coincidence a many times each year.

Fair points well made. I thought the 11th was a Wednesday and I’ve been off on holiday for a week or so, so brain no worky so good just now.

I’ll l go back under my lurking rock again.

Oneobi,

Heh, the 2 days will become 3 and then 4.

These idiots are totally destroying work life balance but honestly, they do not care about our welfare or mental health. We are just human machines that they think they own.

What is completely laughable is how they have become advocates of the environment and reducing carbon. Yah, my unnecessary shitty commute is really not contributing! They turn a blind eye to that yo.

sugar_in_your_tea,

We recently went from 2 days to 3 days, and I chalked it up to our new CEO (old one replaced for unrelated reasons). Granted, many departments were full remote, in violation of company policy.

I’m hopeful that we can get back down to 2 days in office. However, if the industry goes for 3 days as standard, the might not be realistic.

keefshape, do games w Ubisoft Montreal's mandatory return-to-office order reportedly leaves staff in "turmoil"

I am truly fortunate to work for a game industry studio, also Montreal, that has not seen fit to do this. A good thing, as I was hired on fully remote from halfway across the country 😆

Even if I were local, working remote has been transformative for me to the point that it is a criteria in my job seeking. I won’t, can’t take a role without it.

If done right, with the right trust and understanding, remote work increases productivity for most butt-in-chair jobs.
