Katana314, do xbox w Resident Evil 4 Remake's Separate Ways and Mercenaries DLC out this month

Oh man; I just bought this game not even knowing if it would have more DLC. Mercenaries is always welcome.

I wish my 90h save wasn't borked. I don't feel like playing through the whole game again right now or any time soon. This has happened twice to me now.

SilverFlame,

It seems like a fresh save is the right choice anyway given the amount of changes they’re making to core systems

Wait, the remake wasn't the full game?

ZekeSulastin,

FF7R was full game length but ended when the party left Midgar; in the original game that is a bit before the end of Disc 1.

Granted, the Midgar section was greatly expanded for the remake and it’s pretty clear that we’re not necessarily doing a 1:1 equivalence with the original game…

hydroel,

I think it will released into 3 parts: Remake, Rebirth and the third volume which I don’t think has been titled yet. What makes it even more confusing is that there was an “enhanced” version of FFVII Remake, released on PC and PS5, called Remake Intergrade.

I'm curious how it would have been if they kept this secret. They like to spoil all their own surprises these days.

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

What better way to manage head counts down?

ISOmorph,

That’s the devious part. It’s just mass layoffs without the severance packages.

conciselyverbose,

It still counts as firing you most places. Materially changing the work environment and obligations is constructive dismissal

Unforeseen,

Especially in Canada, and particularly in Quebec

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.

Final fantasy should have stayed turn based. Realtime combat is what secret of mana was for.

I’d be interested in a honest to diety rts set in the age of sigmar! It’s too bad Dawn Of War 3 was trash.

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.

Why can’t we get this level of effort into a good 40k game?

Edit: this gives almost lotr:bfme2 vibes

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.

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.

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.

Too bad the game is hot garbage with way too many microtransactions and timers.

VelociCatTurd,

I don’t know about the timers but there are no microtransactions now. Everything locked behind a paywall is now available at the start.

Ah, the Disney defence. “Everyone who dislikes our movie is a racist/misogynist.”
