The Homeworld 3 demo is impressive and I'm really enjoying Lightyear Frontier as well. Definitely going to buy both when they come out in March. I've been hooked on the Homeworld universe since I started playing it in the 90's (25 years ago! lol I'm old) so it's been quite a long wait but it looks like BBI have done a great job. I've loved them since Hardspace Shipbreaker so I knew this would be something special.

If you're the type who wants to unwind from the hyper-realistic art style of most mainstream games nowadays, while also exploring modern Filipino life and culture through the eyes of a young adult student, the Until Then demo might be up your alley. Aside from the pixelated art style coming from the devs themselves, who are also wholly Filipino themselves, there's quite a substantial attention to detail when it comes to the greater Metro Manila and the suburban locations around, including our local circuses. Oh, and there's also quite a bit of mysteriousness and some philospophy to it, as vaguely evidenced by its Playstation 5 trailer.

FeelzGoodMan420, do gaming w Valve likely earned over $1bn in Counter-Strike 2 loot boxes last year

I haven’t bought a single fucking skin/box key since I started playing csgo in like 2014 :-). I guess I’m a fucking weirdo or something

Me either, although a few years ago I sold some weapon skins and loot boxes that I received from playing CS Go when it first came out for enough Valve bucks or whatever to buy a couple of new games!

Loot boxes should not be in computer games.

FeelzGoodMan420,

This is the way.

Loot boxes should not be in computer games.

As much as I like Valve, Valve is one of the major player bringing and normalizing Lootboxes into games. Even before the Lootboxes was a thing on smartphones, let alone before they arrived on other AAA games as well. I think this is the worst contribution of Valve to videogames. And this statement comes from someone who usually defends this company.

Same! I don't play CS 2 and pretty much forgot that they do the lootbox thing.

feoh, do gaming w Twitch "isn't profitable" admits CEO, in wake of recent layoffs

Former Amazon employee here - Twitch is IMO a perfect example of Amazon tactics. Acquire, ignore, drain the engineering team down to a skeleton crew, further en- 💩 -ify the platform, and then wonder why profits are dwindling.

kayjay, do gaming w Multiplayer being 'considered' for Cyberpunk 2077 sequel says CD Projekt

You’d think they would’ve learned. Guess not.

shiveyarbles, do gaming w Multiplayer being 'considered' for Cyberpunk 2077 sequel says CD Projekt

Please enough with the hype and promises from the sales department

Ferk,
@Ferk@kbin.social avatar

At least it's just a "considering"...

I remember back when they scrapped the multiplayer promises they made for Cyberpunk 2077 there was also word about them preparing some separate standalone multiplayer game for the future instead. To me this "considering" is more of an indication that the new game won't be multiplayer focused (if it has multiplayer at all), rather than a promise of anything.

That’s cool. Not buying one until they release Gary Bowser from a lifetime of slavery for selling modded hardware.

Fiivemacs, do gaming w Hundreds of developers say they're working on Nintendo Switch 2

Cause tendo knows they need tos tep up their game to even make a minor dent in the steam deck…Nintendo is just…meh lately. Overpriced, boring and bland.

TwilightVulpine,

Look, I want a Steam Deck from the deepest depths of my heart and I love what it offering... but this take just isn't it. The Steam Deck is said to have sold "multiple millions" of units, lets say generously around 10 million. The Nintendo Switch has sold 132 million units. The Steam Deck couldn't hope to begin threatening the Nintendo Switch.

Though in all fairness, I don't think it needs to. It's much more of a specialized device rather than something you give to your kids.

Computerchairgeneral, do games w Obsidian's Avowed releases this autumn | Eurogamer

Cautiously optimistic that this will be good. I appreciate they are at least trying to make combat seem more in-depth than just hacking away at enemy's with a sword. Hopefully the game lives up to that promise. It's a shame we're not getting a proper third Pillars game, but at least we're getting something else set in the that world.

Stovetop, do games w This Spyro the Dragon tweet has fans thinking a new instalment is coming

“Oh yeah, Spyro, my favorite Xbox character. Right next to Crash Bandicoot and Banjo Kazooie.”

Words that would have given me in 2001 an aneurysm.

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

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.

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.
