I was speaking of the gaming industry as a whole. I know very little about this developer. Perhaps they’re one of the good ones swept up in unfortunate-ness.
Game Publishers: Release unfinished game that gets horrid backlash until they work overtime to patch it to a slightly more playable hell, get caught in an update loop, game inadvertantly becomes live service.
Was it really that good? I heard it was overwatch from wish when it launched but then got better. I never tried it, because i didn't wanna learn something new.
It was a hero shooter MOBA but with some verticality, so that’s about as far as the Overwatch comparison goes. I had a great time with it. I like traditional MOBAs but don’t have the skill/patience/time for them, so hero shooter MOBAs are the perfect way for me to be able to play them more casually. In my opinion, of the few I’ve tried, Paragon was the best implementation of a hero shooter MOBA; the core gameplay just felt really tight to me.
Yeah, that really brings me back. I had like 4 tokens on Steam to give the game away when they were trying to get more people to play. There was some other hero shooter MOBA a little after that too, by Epic or something. Didn’t last very long and wasn’t all that great, but I still played the shit out of the falcon character that could “fly”. Man, I need to jump into another one of these games.
There is probably even more comming in the current version for you. Stardew valley is the type of game where you watch a random YT video where someone shows off something you never knew was in the game, after you got 1000h clocked.
Unsurprising. They already split remake up to milk more money out of long time fans, and now they’re doubling down on the mobile market. I remember long wishing for a remake and now I want my wish back. DAMN YOU MONKEY’S PAW!!!
An initial solution looked to have been found from an old Fallout 4 VR thread on Steam, where the same problem could be fixed by using a console command to change the player’s sex.
In Starfield, the same command works, but all you need to do to fix the bug is enter the character customisation screen. Using console commands, this can be done by entering ‘showlooksmenu player 2’. If you’re playing Starfield on console, you can visit an Enhance Clinic for 500 credits to get into the character customisation. You don’t actually have to change your appearance, as players have reported that simply entering and exiting customer customisation makes weapons work as intended once again.
This was already true, but is even more so now - Bethesda should make console commands available on Xbox immediately. Besides the fact that there was no reason to restrict them to PC players in the first place, they’re almost certain to be necessary for all sorts of weird troubleshooting that’s likely to come up in any game this big.
Yeah, I didn‘t finish Fallout NV because a bug stopped me from starting a quest and I didn‘t want to start all over. There were all kinds of solutions via console commands on PC but none on Xbox ofc. I hope something like this won‘t happen in Starfield
I’m playing the game pass version and in the early game I softlocked myself by jumping behind something that I shouldn’t have and I wasn’t able to fast travel to my ship because they were enemies nearby. I downloaded the PC version, accessed the console commands, got myself out, saved, then loaded it on my Xbox and the issue was fixed. But I really wish I could have just plugged a keyboard into my Xbox and fixed it in a few seconds rather than waiting on 140GB to download and praying it would work on my 2 year old laptop.
How game b breaking are we talking about? Like slider set to 100 instead of 99, or are we talking about memory loop around, nuclear Gandi level of horny?
Lae’zel simultaneously hated me and wanted the D. It wasn’t game breaking, but I know a couple of ace people that were a bit disturbed by the constant advances.
I accidentally ended up in a romance scene with a character I had clearly told I was not interested in them. I thought the scenes were just their side quests for a while.
But other than accidentally having dinner kinky sex in the game it wasn’t that big of a part.
We have gone from cartridges, to CDs, to kind-of cartridges.
We have kinda gone full circle! Now we need something lile a holocron or like a Cortana AI chip to store an even bigger amount.
Absolutely true, unfortunately for me I usually purchase games later in their lifespan after most bugs are worked out. It’s not like it goes F2P a year after I purchase but I guess I am just complaining.
If more people get to play it and the game is given new life it’s a good thing.
I paid for a 6 x 6 Hero Shooter they gave me a F2P 5 x 5 version with a lot of changes and I cannot ever play again the game that I paid for. I do mind a lot.
I bought OW at release and it’s one of the best value I ever got in gaming.
The game was around 40€ many years ago and I had all heroes since release, plenty of lootboxes and skins. And I played hundreds of hours on it. Yes they killed their game in the recent years but that doesn’t mean I didn’t get any value from it. I honestly think they were pretty generous for the first years considering it wasn’t price at 60€ like some CoD.
The problem isn’t the amount of value, they’ve essentially removed OW1, there’s no way to play it again from a game preservation perspective is goddamn awful what they’ve done. Probably the only time you can play it again is when they release an Overwatch Classic for $29.99 in 10 years.
I’m asexual, not aromantic, but thinking about this from an aromantic perspective I completely get wanting more close platonic relationships that don’t turn romantic. That would actually be inclusive, a lot of people try to put romance everywhere, and I get it! It’s fun to do! But aromantic people like to have representation too, and options to be friends but not romantic helps them feel represented.
Too bad this guy’s “checkbox insert” means it’s probably (I might be wrong) an “omg gay people exist in my game, gross” complaint and not a “hey platonic relationships are important too, don’t make every significant relationship romantic” for all the aros (or even non-aromantic people who think friendship is important as well as romance) out there.
Absolutely. Portraying a relationship as less meaningful unless there are romantic underpinnings somewhere is weird. It’s just the “checkbox insert” thing cynically insinuates that they like had a gayness quota to fill. Whatever, my point is that it’s undeniably a good game. Check it out if you’re into medieval Europe stuff. You don’t have to play the first one, although you’d be missing out.
Every time I see a sequel I get curious about the first. KCD1 seems like something I have a 50/50 shot at either loving (roleplay!) or hating (QOL stuff, probably the combat), not sure which side I’ll come out on.
Suffice to say, you have a rough start of it. You’re born into the peasantry. You’re fragile. You can’t fight your way out of a wet cardboard box. I don’t know why this stuck with me in particular, but you’re illiterate. As you progress, life gets easier. Point being, the roleplay necessitates hard as hell combat and lack of QOL stuff.
IDK I’m into swords and horsies. Give it a shot, I’d say.
I’m like, borderline aro(?) and yeah having the option to proceed down a meaningful friendship path with my favorite characters/have them move in (shoutout to Krobus in SDV) is awesome when provided.
I can also see the “empty tokenism” as in, players deserve more fleshed out queer relationships instead of rainbow stickers being half-heartedly slapped on existing characters but yeah unfortunately the reviewer is probably a pearl clutching “woke DEI other-buzzword bad” type.
There’s also a new GOG Dreamlist, where you can vote for your favorite games of yesteryear to get the same treatment. If I might nudge you to the search box and vote for some of the following, you’d have my thanks:
