Kolanaki, do gaming w Starfield has housing system, player jail, and more reveals Bethesda in new Q&A
!deleted6508 avatar

Every new piece of info I see about this game just tells me exactly what I was expecting. Skyrim/Fallout but with a new coat of paint. The only thing actually new and has me excited beyond knowing they generally make fun games is the space combat shit. And frankly, I’m more inclined to think it’s going to be the jankiest, most broken part of the game considering it’s still on the creation engine and vehicles have never been very good on it. But I would love to be wrong.

Pyr_Pressure, (edited ) do games w Baldur's Gate 3 review - a critical success, with critical failures

I do quite like it, but there are definitely small quality of life improvements that were missed in the initial launch. For example the mini-map, which rotates on movement and I find it annoying to navigate. There is a way to stop the rotation, but then there is no indicator on it to display which direction your camera is facing and is still difficult to navigate.

Just small things like that here and there that I’ve noticed.

pylohn,

I have the cardinal directions marked on my mini map though they can be hard to notice. I find the enemy opertinity attacks are very hard to see and should ask for a promt before just happening

PrinceHabib72,

You can actually have the game ask for opportunity attacks. If you open your character tab (or party view), up at the top, there’s a tab for “Reactions”. You can set it to automatically take opportunity attacks or ask before.

FracturedEel,

I think he means when you’re moving through their range and they can take an opportunity attack on you. I dont find the arrow hard to see but if you do miss it it doesn’t confirm that you want to move through an enemy’s melee range. It does cancel the movement afterward though without ending your turn or anything

Pyr_Pressure,

That has pissed me off so much because I keep forgetting to make sure that damned arrow isn’t there before I click. And then sometimes my mouse moves ever so slightly when I do click that it was enough of a shift to change the pathway close enough for it to appear.

pylohn,

Im refering to enemy attacks on the player

Pyr_Pressure,

Yes I see the cardinal directions, but if I’m looking at my main map trying to figure out where to go, and planning in my head “okay I need to take a left and then a right and then another right…” Then exit out, look at my mini map, I either have to align it back so north points up top to get my bearings or if it’s fixed I have to move my characters forward to see which direction the camera is facing so I don’t mix up my lefts and rights.

pylohn,

Ah I see yes, I find myself constantly trying to click on the map to simply put my camera at that location to avoid that problem but baldur’s gate 3 doeant work like the old games where that was an option and so I just resort to constantly checking the map at every junktion

Daefsdeda, do gaming w The Last of Us knock off removed from Nintendo eShop as Sony stakes copyright claim

This game should have been removed by nintendo. It is disgusting that this is allowed

So blatant knock-off with serial numbers filed off and shovelware.

@teft@startrek.website avatar

“we want to make more money so we dumbed down the plot to idiot level and blame it on americans being dumb. Also we changed everything to be more emotional because that’s what tiktoks kids want, more emotion and less plot or something”

Guy sounds like a twat.

tacosanonymous, do games w Sony is now FromSoftware owner Kadokawa's largest shareholder

Correct me if I’m wrong, 10% is not that big of a deal?

dhhyfddehhfyy4673, (edited )

No, it's really not. Especially since they already own 14% of FromSoftware directly. The only Sony bullshit is likely still going to be limited to any IP that Sony funds themselves.

SkunkWorkz,

It’s Kadokawa that forced Sony’s hands. Sony initially only wanted to acquire the anime and videogames assets. But Kadokawa told them that only acquisition offers for the entire company are accepted.

Sony definitely had plans to buy up FromSoftware.

kitnaht, do games w Sony is now FromSoftware owner Kadokawa's largest shareholder

RIP FromSoftware.

Iapar,

We all know the day will come but I hope it is not that early.

SnotFlickerman, do gaming w The world is ending but here's a side quest - will RPGs ever solve their urgency problem?
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Honestly, toughest part of Baldur’s Gate 3 is recognizing how much there is to do despite the fact that you literally have specific characters haranguing you to move the story forward (I’m looking at you Frog Wife, we’ll get to your fucking Creche when I’m ready!), which makes you feel like maybe there’s a time limit. First playthrough I missed massive amounts of the game because I felt rushed by the characters in my party.

On the other hand, maybe there does need to be a time limit so the urgency is real? In the original Fallout, on release, you had something like 100 in-game days before The Master found Vault 13 and it was game-over. They later removed this because it was seen as too difficult… but I actually dislike that it got removed. Maybe change how long the player is given, but still, give them something to press that urgency as an actual, real, urgent thing.

ms_lane, do games w Payday 3 developer likens launch to being a rock band when "the whole stage collapses and everyone leaves"

No, it’s more like being a Rock Band, having 2 wildly successful albums then going in a another direction with a completely new, different sound for the third album, then wondering why no one bought it.

Many such cases. (Videogames and Music)

Can I make my own campaign yet?

jawa21,
@jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

That’s what I want out of the game, really. A full toolkit a la Neverwinter Nights.

CosmoNova,

Read through the documentation of their newly released modding toolkit and find out, I guess.

cmhe,

Yes, but not with an unmodified toolkit, which opens levels as read-only, and disallows creating new levels. But there is a patch for the toolkit on nexusmods which unlocks the toolkit and makes the map editor and other stuff available. If you know what you are doing, you should be able to edit the main campaign or make your own.

I played around with it a bit, and all I can say, its complicated.

Lojcs, do games w Soulslike Enotria: The Last Song delayed indefinitely on Xbox as dev says it's being ignored by Microsoft

From this march:

Jyamma Games also said it was no longer planning to launch Enotria: The Last Song on Xbox alongside other platforms. This is to ensure “a superior experience for PC and PS5 players,” Jyamma Games CEO Giacomo Greco wrote in a statement on Steam. The exec suggested the studio will reassess an Xbox release once the game has launched elsewhere.

Maybe Xbox didn’t like the second class citizen treatment

intensely_human,

So Microsoft refers to sick size?

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

If that’s the reason, it doesn’t paint MS in a good light. Bullying small indie devs out of spite. Especially considering that, after saying that in March, Jyamma spent time and money to release the game on Xbox the same day as the other platforms.

But I honestly doubt it. Corporations are NOT people (even if the law would like to pretend otherwise) and they don’t think the same way as people. They don’t play favourites, they don’t play nice or bully others because they feel like to. They chase money, and that’s it. A game releasing on their platform is literally free money. This is just a fuck up on their part. If I had to guess, MS cut jobs and replaced them with AI and left a skeleton crew working on this.

t3rmit3, do gaming w Amazon reportedly working on animated anthology TV series featuring Spelunky and other video game worlds

…But why?

chloyster,

No clue but I’m down for a Spelunky short by the people who did love death and robots lol. Sounds lit

SteposVenzny,

I’m down for anthology series by default.

intensely_human, do games w Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now

Generally speaking it’s impossible to define a standard for how much output is “enough” for a developer.

Management always wants to extract as much as possible.

FiniteBanjo,

Well actually there is something of a standard:

Manor Lords is sold as Early Access. Meaning it doesn’t reach the “enough.”
