sirfancy, do games w Payday 3's roadmap promises four DLC drops in the first year

So uh, is this a good thing? Do we really want to repeat what happened to Payday 2 and have 50?

Edit: Sorry, my mistake. There’s 81.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever,

Payday 2 came out a decade ago. Eight dlc per year, with a lot being cosmetic, seems fine to me?

sirfancy,

That is far from normal. If these are free dlc, then that’s great, but this is more and more regular updates that they are locking behind a paywall. Many of them are not just cosmetic, and are entirely new guns that are overpowered enough to become the new meta in order to complete certain heists on certain difficulties. Some are brand new heists, too. They even added loot boxes two years after saying they wouldn’t (although they have rolled it back since then due to the predicable negative response). It’s always been a cash grab, and it’s unfortunate that it appears they may be falling back into old habits.

Puzzle_Sluts_4Ever,

No, that is very normal. Between “battle passes” and “season passes” and RMTs in in-game stores, 8 DLCs per year is pretty low.

As for adding new weapons: Welcome to a live game. If everyone that was released was worse than what was in the base game, what would be the point?

If you dislike the game and the kind of DLC they do, have fun. I will largely agree. But this constant refrain that comes up with long running games of “Ugh, there are so many DLCs” makes me wonder if people would lose their mind if they ever realized how many issues of a magazine there were or whatever.

variants, do gaming w This Starfield player has a tip to transform your planet surveys

“One of the randomly generated points of interest, the abandoned research tower, usually has a computer at the top where you can download the planetary survey data for the planet your [sic] on,” they wrote. “Just a tip!”

rgb3x3,

So what’s even the point of scanning things?

Why do it in the first place?

LoamImprovement,

The same as anything else in a Bethesda game, busywork.

BruceTwarzen,

Shut up and collect your trinkets

You still need to scan individual plants resources or animals to get the Surveying perk upgrades, which gives you better zoom on the scanner, which can be useful sometimes.

You can sell the scan data to certain merchants, price seems to depend on the amount of stuff on the planet.

averyminya,

It’s a game with exploration elements, so the idea is that an areas you’ve visited may only have estimates of what resources are available. In some cases you could be the first person exploring it or noting its qualities.

The in game reason is the survey data you get is asked of you by one of the constellation members, as their space base “The Eye” has scanned all it can. We use the scan data for finding more artifacts (though I’m assuming it doesn’t outright give more missions). You can get the survey data before this activity and sell it for about half, which is why I assume it doesn’t really affect much.

There are also missions that ask for experienced surveyors to look for hospitable planets for their colony.

Rolder,

It’s a decent way to make money, but not really worth the effort of hunting down all the different flora and fauna. One time I had a planet where I had to land near the ocean and scan fish, that one was a total nightmare.

Nerd02,

You do it if you want to, it’s a game :)

You can make decent money off it, but first and foremost it should be something you enjoy. Personally I think that’s a very chill way of breaking the monotony, after having spent too much time flying around or walking through cities to complete quests. Exploring planets has got the nice plus of not having to deal with loading screens, unless you want to get back to your ship and move to a different biome.

SkyeStarfall,

Damn, bethesda ubisofted starfield

I don’t know about who else didn’t pay 70 bucks for this game, but I’m glad I didn’t pay 70 bucks for this game.

It’s a Bethesda game, what did you expect? ;)

I haven’t started it yet, but if past experience is any indication, the Xbox version should be far less buggy.

Totally expected this after the Fallout spinning head glitch:

Eramidik, do games w Resistor is an incredibly ambitious CaRPG that's Burnout meets Mass Effect

Great concept. I’m surprised nobody’s attempted something similar with the Speed Racer franchise.

Boiglenoight, do games w Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom

Cool! Despite its age, I’m still loving the Switch. Best all around library of consistently good games, at least single/local multiplayer.

Google should kill itself in a video game. What a bunch of failed inventors.

NateNate60, do games w Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom

At least they didn’t call it the “SwitchU”

ProfoundNinja,

Switch Whu?

Kecessa,

They still have the time!

Schaedelbach,

How about SwUtch?

smeg,

They haven’t called it anything yet, this is just a way of saying “new version of the switch”. Could still be Super Switch, SwitchU or even New Switch XL!

circuitfarmer, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 is effectively the PC version at ultra settings
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yeah, it runs very nicely on ultra on a variety of hardware. It’s been optimized and has even improved since release.

I am hoping they improved the controller interface, though. I use that even though I play the PC version, and it was somewhat broken as of a couple weeks ago.
