Rpmkp, do gaming w Bethesda plans to update Starfield "roughly every six weeks starting in February"

@mike591 sf was.. kind of fun? Playing it on game pass was fine, I’d be pissed if I paid $60 for it though

BruceTwarzen,

It's 70 buckaroos

Rpmkp,

@BruceTwarzen in that case it’s definitely not worth it lol.

@mike591

mike591,

I thought it was fun, despite some clunkiness. I also played it on gamepass and clocked in 100-200 hours. I intend to pick it up again once the game matures a bit more and receives additional expansions.

Maybe he’ll choke on an olive and his useless life will pass before his eyes just before he gets saved by someone he had once fired.

Perhaps then he would no longer be such a douchebag. I doubt it, though.

Bethesda’s inability to finish a game and leave it the fuck alone is going to drive me to avoid their products on principle soon.

Just like Cyberpunk 2077, I will wait for this game to be worked on and get it for a discount later. I learned my lesson long time ago, not to buy big AAA games at launch.

curiousaur,

Same. I think cyberpunk is almost done, so I’ll probably grab it when it gets down to half off. We’ll see if Starfield is any good after they finish it in 5 years or so.

Umbrias,

Of course, it’s not just like cyberpunk. Cyberpunk had excellent writing, good pacing, and an overall fascinating story with technically good writing. It just was immersed in a game that had many issues for many people.

Star field is almost the exact opposite, it’s technically functional, with a hollowed out uncooked unseasoned potato for a story.

I wasn't saying both games are similar, but more comparing the situation both games not worth buying day 1. Developers adding new functionality, features and iron out bugs and performance issues. If I like the core gameplay and story, that's another story. But just like with Cyberpunk, I will wait for the game being worked on and buy it later for a cheaper price.

Umbrias,

I’m just pointing out that cyberpunks issues were issues fixable with updates.

Starfields issues are writing and character, largely. Gameplay is rough, but not the core issue.

Gee, i wonder what next video game company he’ll ruin…

Tetcher,

Wild card. Paizo. He’ll come in like “while pathfinder has been successful I see a lot of room for growth and restructuring”. 5 years later, there are now 28 low quality books, all of which are on a subscription model, half the staff are fired, and the company is owned by Amazon… Oh and a crossover with Jack Reacher.

I think it is impossible to properly state how damaging his existence was to gaming as a whole.

I would gladly say good fucking riddance, as if it was a victory, if it weren’t for the fact that he is going away with a fuck ton of money. He didn’t lose anything, he just won. And the whole gaming industry, hell, the whlole world suffers because of it. Because this isn’t just about video gamse. The man is a vile piece of shit. And he just gets to walk away and get away with it. Because money is power. The whole thing is just sickening.

Introducing paid mods is something I don't support but I'm interested to see what things look like when it launches on Starfield.

That aside, I hope they take the empty world complaints to heart, if they can make the world more full I am willing to return to the UC Shitcan and fight for my citizenship.

I've got over 100 hours in and all the trophies, nothing left in the base game for me, I'm not doing 10 playthroughs with 1 character though.

Are they going to add more boring planets, to make it more like real life?

kernelPanic, do gaming w Activision Blizzard settles sex discrimination lawsuit for £44m

£36.85m ($46.75m) will be shared between claimants who claim that they were unfairly paid, and £7.1m ($9.1m) will cover associated legal fees.

That is a lot of money. Any idea how many they are?

ConstableJelly, do gaming w Silent Hill 2 Remake developer teams up with The Walking Dead's Skybound Entertainment

I don’t understand what Bloober is doing to secure these partnerships. I enjoyed Observer for the visual spectacle, and I appreciated The Medium for what it was trying to do despite it feeling mechanically and thematically incomplete.

I’m not attached to Silent Hill so I’m not terribly invested in their remake, but figured it would be a fair proving ground for them to grow up from the ambitious-but-flawed style that has marked their other games. Maybe this deal is a sign that Skybound has already seem something they like?

GammaGames,

Maybe it’s just because they’re consistent? The Medium was fun enough to play over a few weekends and from what I’ve seen they do well with the letsplay crowd

ConstableJelly,

Ah interesting, I’m not connected to the letsplay scene, didn’t know they had clout there.

“Star Wars Outlaws, the open world Star Wars game, is set to release late this year,” the post reads (thanks, IGN). "The game lets you explore distinct planets across the galaxy,

Desperately not trying to fall prey to the Starfield curse of too many fucking loading screens.

I just remedied the Starfield blues by starting up The Outer Worlds.

Stillhart, do gaming w Star Wars Outlaws releasing "late" 2024, Disney says

I’m tentatively interested, but I can’t remember the last open world game I played that wasn’t just a reskin of something I’ve already played before. Sure, a game doesn’t have to be innovative to be fun. But it sure helps. Especially in a genre that can feel like doing chores, rather than playing, if it’s not done well.

DdCno1,

Try Rodina. Very unique and interesting seamless “open solar system” game made by a single developer. Comes with a fun ship interior builder. It looks very bland and dated on screenshots, but feels awe-inspiring to play, creating a sense of scale that I have not seen anywhere else. It feels almost 3D even on a flat screen.

Rodina does not have a ton of actual content, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Also, you can propel yourself around space with a fire extinguisher, which automatically makes this the best space game in history.

There’s a free demo, if you are curious.

Shadow, do gaming w Is Unreal Engine 5 'too big' for Steam Deck?
@Shadow@lemmy.ca avatar

Click bait title, as usual the answer is no.

chloyster,

A bit click baity but the test results I found to be interesting and fun to read through

SmoochyPit, do gaming w Is Unreal Engine 5 'too big' for Steam Deck?

Interesting read— basically all games boiled down to running at “720p with 50% internal resolution”; that’s 360p internal resolution, less than the GameCube from 2001.

But, that’s paired with Lumen GI, high resolution textures, FSR2 or Epic’s TSR upscaling and a huge shift in how we render games (deferred rendering, temporal effects, normal mapping, etc). And on a Linux handheld. We came full circle in a way, but what a time to be a gamer!
