Computerchairgeneral, do games w Uncharted's Tom Holland reportedly set to star in Jak and Daxter adaptation with Chris Pratt

I am morbidly curious about how this movie will turn out. Will they try and make it a family-friendly adventure movie influenced by the first game? Or base it on the sequels, which tried to make everything darker and edgier? Also, why? Like, I would love it if there was a resurgence of interest in Jak & Daxter, but of all the IPs Sony wanted to adapt for film they chose one that hasn't had a game released since 2009?

Heard it’s been getting rapid updates though so that’s always encouraging. Maybe in 3-6 months it’ll be super refined. Keen to give this one a go once I wrap up Pathfinder

Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w Xbox 360 digital store will close next July

Honestly, I'm surprised the 360 store was still up and running. At least purchases can still be downloaded and backward compatibility means most of these games will still be accessible.

I never, ever preorder. But, the Ryzen 5 CPU I just bought came with a code for Starfield. So I guess I may as well try this one out cold.

Sibbo,

Maybe wait a month or so until the bugs are fixed. It would be sad to be frustrated by that.

I’ll be playing on Linux also, so I kind of want the challenge (and the bugs) :)

Madex,

They making a native client?!

apprehensively_human,

I imagine it will be playable with Proton/Wine. It doesn’t look like there’s a native port for Linux.

circuitfarmer, (edited )
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

No, I’ll be using Proton. There’s a chance it won’t work day 1, but I find it unlikely given my experience lately.

Especially with shader caching, it’s even possible that it runs better on Proton while bugs get worked out (that was the case with stutter in Elden Ring, which didn’t occur on Linux or Steam Deck with shader precompilation).

phuntis,

also mods playing bethesda games without mods just feels wrong I’ll probably wait a year for a good sale and a nice build up of mods

calnamu,

To me, playing a Bethesda game for the first time feels wrong with mods. I definitely want to experience the “original” at least one time before changing anything.

buda,

Bugs are a part of the fun in Bethesda games.

I heard that inventory management and transferring items between party members is a chore, which is a shame since it's something that PF games have already solved - shared inventory space for all party members. It makes it so much more convenient and fun to use than the mess DOS games had.

Tiefa,

I haven’t noticed it being an issue. When you loot an item you can send it to a specific character and if you want to move lots of things you can hit tab, see the whole party and drag and drop items from inventory to inventory. Maybe it gets worse later on, I’m only 20 hours in.

MimicJar,

I’ve been playing on “console” (SteamDeck) so I know the UI is different but the issue I’ve found is that there are three different “inventory” options and two different “loot” options, and each behaves a little differently.

For example if I loot a corpse, you’re right I can send to a specific party member. However if I loot a chest, that has to go to me.

Similarly when I the character sheet inventory view I can sort by certain methods and then L3(?) to exit that menu. If I’m selling something it’s still (L3?) to open that menu, but B to exit it. Also the sorting options aren’t the same. Also switching between characters during a trade event is one button. However switching on the character sheet is three buttons. There is also a third lesser used “put in device” menu with even fewer sorting options and you can’t switch characters.

The game is excellent and you can get used to these things but I do sometimes have to spend time just sorting things.

entropicshart,
  • you can hit tab to see all inventories and drag/drop
  • you can right click anything to send to camp or to any party member
  • you can have as many containers as you want for your gear

Inventory management is the easiest of any RPG and doesn’t rely on 3rd party tools to manage (e.g. Destiny’s abysmal design, or lack of I should say)

DarkThoughts, do gaming w Starfield install size revealed, available to preload now

Do we have any sort of information on how big the Shattered Space Story Expansion is supposedly going to be? Because 30 bucks extra seems excessive, especially when the game is already 70 bucks. Kinda feels like they just want to lure you with the early access, which will likely be a hot mess anyway.

nan,

On console the Premium edition includes it, and is 17GB larger.

DarkThoughts,

File size isn't a good indicator for content. The majority of a game's file size is made up of assets, so at best you have most of that to be new models and textures of "something".

nan,

Sorry, I mistook “how big” as literally the file size.

DarkThoughts,

Oh, sorry. No. I meant the actual content. Whether it is some short side story or a proper expansion of sorts.

shiveyarbles,

Gets even more painful as an Australian - base game alone costs $120, but with the expansion? Fucking $170. Insanity.

DarkThoughts,

That's 100.29 based on current exchange rates. So about the same.

ipkpjersi, do gaming w Valve is now selling refurbished Steam Decks with up to £110 off

Normally I am hesitant about refurbs, but Valve is one company I trust would stand by their product. Pretty good deal. I’d probably pick it up if I didn’t have my pre-order unit.

I swapped from Xbox series x to ps5 recently and selling my x.

The fact I couldn’t use my Xbox in Windows (I get a black screen and lots of people having that issue), and there was nobody seemingly to talk to about it, I decided to just dump it

Harlan_Cloverseed, (edited ) do gaming w Final Fantasy 16 sales did not meet high expectations, says Square Enix president
@Harlan_Cloverseed@kbin.social avatar

That’s what Square gets for failing to read the room. Nobody wants a DMC-like. If they had made it a Souls-like people would love it. Also, this exclusivity bullshit makes you irrelevant. Make me wait years for PC? I can wait longer for a sale. Or forever.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

I think the reviews have shown that a lot of people wanted the DMC stuff. But there are only so many PS5s out there, and we live in a world where PC market share has been steadily rising for over a decade.

patchwork, do gaming w Final Fantasy 16 sales did not meet high expectations, says Square Enix president

honestly, i started the demo, and while the gameplay wasn’t bad, the characters and story didn’t grab me at all, and i lost interest almost immediately. maybe i’ll snag it in a year or two, after the GOTY, during a sale

One can always hope, but I’m not holding my breath on that one.

pivot_root,

God… it’s like having having an entire 8-level deep organizational structure for a team of 10 people. No wonder it’s mismanaged to shit.

loobkoob,

Yeah, it looks pretty bad from that list. It may not be quite as bad in practice - some of them may have their name attached because, for instance, they co-own a production company where only person is involved but all three co-owners get their names on the credits. And some of them may be involved on the technical side, some for the story side, some just for financing, etc.

But even so, that looks like far too many names to have any kind of coherent vision.
