pastabatman, (edited ) do games w Final Fantasy 7: Ever Crisis turns Square Enix's best into an avalanche of money-grabbing tactics

I have room in my life for exactly one gacha game, which I don’t spend money on. Sometimes this is a fun little distraction, even though progress is slow without buying currency. This is how I felt about Record Keeper before they shut down the global version. I love FF7 so I’m giving this a shot, but it’s been a week and I’m struggling. There are so many superimposed mechanics that it feels like a new player starting a free to play game at year 5 or 6 of its life, after they’ve steadily added new mechanics, currencies, and other powercreep for years. But it hasn’t been out for years, it’s been out for a week and there are already so many things to keep track of. It feels like work.

Also, the “automatic” battle AI is VERY good. Better than I am. And you can double the speed so the battles go quicker. At first I was relieved because it meant I didn’t have to pay attention while grinding, but why am I doing this at all if I’m not even playing it?

Is Arkane going to start making good games again? After Colantonio stepped down and everything after Prey I’m going to say that’s gonna be a no. Will love to be proven wrong.

Sethayy,

Gotta agree, without even realizing he stepped down I’ve tried every post-prey game and they just can’t keep my interest tbh

On the bright side, it looks like Nintendo just dropped some new meme formats.

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.

koreth, do games w Marvel's Avengers receives hulking discount ahead of delisting

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.

N00b22, do gaming w Unity bosses sold stock days before controversial repricing announcement

Not to mention he was also the EA CEO before…

Probably, but SEC is completely captured and underfunded.

It’s not against the rules because chodes like these guys get to write the rules. If we judge wether or not something is harmful by if it’s legal or not, our civil rights will continue to erode.

No, this is against the rules. Perhaps the penalties aren't harsh enough, as most financial crimes come with very little actual punishment, but there are penalties.

Mudface, do gaming w Unity bosses sold stock days before controversial repricing announcement

Aren’t there laws against this sort of thing? I think that’s significant fraud and he should go to prison

laws? those only apply to the poor and minority groups.

Mudface,

Of course

chaogomu,

It was a pre-scheduled sale.

They're announced months in advance and can either trigger on a set date, or at a set stock price. It's more complex than that, and can involve taxes and shit, but the sale itself was above board(ish).

They likely delayed the announcement of the fees to ensure a higher stock price for the sale, which starts getting into a gray area.

Mudface,

If it’s scheduled, which I know a lot of execs need to do anyways to trade stock, and it’s not just randomized and he knows when those sales happen, and he knows his decision is going to tank the price, he can manipulate what he announces and when it’s announced.

What’s stopping him from just announcing this, selling the stock in a timer, then waiting just before he’s scheduled to buy stock and announce that he’s changed his mind?

If I’m the guy who bought that stock from him I’d want to sue. He fucked some sucker over

chaogomu,

That's why this is a gray area.

He's not bought any stock this year. He's just been selling off his compensation stock.

He might just be an idiot who thought no one would complain or jump ship from using Unity.

Mudface,

I dunno, I doubt he’s an idiot. But this game is all rigged anyway

gk99, do games w Square Enix games misfire due to being "single producer's fiefdom", report suggests

Maybe they shouldn’t be doing everything possible to drive off consumers. Exclusivity deals everywhere, prices that don’t like to dip, multiple versions of the same game so you need to pay more for the complete thing later. I tried to get into FF with 15, and I actually really liked it. Then all this nonsense happened with FF7R and I just gave up because it seemed like a pain to try and follow the series.

tiwenty, do games w Nintendo Direct announced for tomorrow

choo choo Switch 2 choo choo

Rynelan,

Even though I would love to hear news about the new console… I’m fairly sure this will not be the moment

tiwenty,

I agree ^^

smallaubergine,

Switch U

caseyweederman,

New Switch U XL

smeg,

& Knuckles?

caseyweederman,

Oh man, people are releasing physical copies of new games on retro consoles, right? Is anybody making a game that you can plug into the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge?

smeg,

I think the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge could be added to any game and it would generate a new level based on the content of it, but I’d love to see someone check!

HolyDuckTurtle, do games w Starfield getting DLSS support, FOV slider, HDR calibration, and more
@HolyDuckTurtle@kbin.social avatar

Very weird how those were absent from release, but I'm glad they're getting added. Good to see I'm not the only one who found the lack of an "eat" alt-option annoying as well!

dudewitbow,

HDR was the only option I was suprised to not see at launch. Its a space game, litterally one of HDRs biggest use cases.

HolyDuckTurtle, (edited )
@HolyDuckTurtle@kbin.social avatar

Yeah the base colour tones are absolutely nuts. I spent a lot of time on launch just trying to figure out if my HDR display was bugging out or something.

dudewitbow, (edited )

I had installed a seperate lut and used reshade injectes HSR effect to get a pseudo HDR experience.

I absolutely hated the fact that even on the intro screen on my Oled, the space background was not black. I was like what is this madness.

The irony of a bunch software devs about to sue the shit out of Unity to get EULAs invalidated.
