Hubi, do games w Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 hits 1m sales in just one day
@Hubi@feddit.org avatar

Definitely deserved. I’ve played it for 10+ hours so far and it’s such an improvement on the already excellent first game. It even runs much better on the same hardware.

Lupus,

It even runs much better on the same hardware.

That’s great news, I was worried about performance.

tomi000,

That actually sounds wrong. Do they use the same level of graphics or was the first game optimized THAT badly?

Hubi,
@Hubi@feddit.org avatar

Pretty sure the first game was just not optimized very well. I can run KCD2 at a very stable 60+ FPS on my RTX 3060 on high/ultra settings. The first one had about 20 FPS less in comparable environments. Not too surprising, considering that it was the dev team’s first CryEngine project. It’s notoriously hard to work with.

PostPeruser,

We know someone working at Warhorse and he arranged us to get a tour at the company after hours by the HR person which was great. I recall one of the devs saying “You know why they call it the CryEngine right? It’s cuz you cry everytime you have to use it”

Hubi,

Wow, lucky you! That’s pretty funny.

vonxylofon,

That badly. Updates made it better, though.

FlashMobOfOne, do games w Looks like Dragon Age: The Veilguard just received its final major update
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

I gave it 10 hours and had to just conclude that, nope, this wasn’t for me. Instead, go get the Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition for 5 bucks with all the DLC’s. That game is a work of art and has one of the best expansions ever made.

@inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world avatar

I just asked it to show me every video game magazine in our collection in chronological order that says “Metroidvania.”

That example is impressive. Sorta doubt I personally will use this much, but I am sure that content creators I already enjoy sure will!

Voroxpete, do games w Employees at FromSoftware owner Kadokawa reportedly "thrilled" about possible Sony takeover

FUD means “Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.” I’m not following how you think that’s what’s happening here? I mean, I think you’re accusing the Kodokawa execs of bullshitting, but what they’re expressing is the opposite of FUD.

Viri4thus,

The article is from eurogamer so you have to temper your expectations of the literacy of the readership.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Huh? The hell are you talking about? The article doesn’t mention FUD once…OP said that…

Viri4thus,

Given the upvote I’m guessing the two of you are part of the aforementioned eurogamer readership…

FeelzGoodMan420,

You okay man? I think you should see a neurologist. You don’t seem coherent.

Viri4thus,

Thank you so much for your concern and apologies in advance. Im well aware I need to work on dumbing down my writing to be accessible to everyone. Sorry for my ableism, I promise to work on myself to be more inclusive. Again, apologies if I made your head hurt, that was not at all my intention. I hope you have a splendid weekend.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Damn dude. So you work for the circus? I think you could be the lead clown. You’d thrive in that job.

Viri4thus,

Thank you, appreciate your compliment, It’s a pleasure to be a source of entertainment. I used to train chimps, perhaps that’s where my talent to amuse primates derives from. Always nice to feel appreciated, thanks stranger.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Np man. You might want to also consider joining the chimps. I’m sure you would be fed well and someone might actually be able to train you to make hand signals and shit. I think you could really benefit.

Viri4thus,

Well, this is disappointing, is this the best you can muster? A “no u”? I guess you’re part of the Eurogamer readership after all. Don’t forget to take your meds. Have a great weekend, Bobo.

FeelzGoodMan420, (edited )

Oh man, people really just repeat phrases without actually understanding what they mean. It’s very fucking annoying. I’ve also seen people refer to literally anything they don’t think is funny as boomer humor, even if it’s like a Gen Z meme.

BleatingZombie,

I also hate that phrase. It encourages you to blindly follow instead of wisly questioning

Voroxpete,

Oh, yeah, it’s use in the crypto space is absolutely part of cult conditioning. Any reality check, any sensible question, any appeal to reason, it’s all FUD. Only blind unquestioning faith in the rapture… I mean TO THE MOON… is acceptable.

superb, do gaming w Alan Wake, Control developer Remedy reveals first-ever multiplayer game [FBC: Firebreak, Co-op multiplayer Control spinoff]
@superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I’m so absolutely ready for this. Control and Alan Wake are both such fantastic games, and there are not enough co-op narratives out there.

thingsiplay, (edited ) do gaming w Eurogamer: It's been 12 months since Microsoft purchased Activision Blizzard, so what's changed?

BTW this article looks like an ad for Jason Schreier’s new book about this topic, that releases soon and is mentioned as the last sentence in the article with a single link that spans across 4 lines.

Nothing much. Microsoft put out one of the worst Call of Duty games in history (Modern Warfare 3 in 2023) and couldn’t save Overwatch 2 from being totally ruined. Console sales and Game Pass didn’t grow as expected I guess. And then the layoffs… Funny enough the releases on PC and Playstation (by Xbox) doing well. At the moment its a total disaster and we question if Xbox will survive until next gen (off course it will, there is Microsoft behind it). Once again Xbox players are told to wait until next year; basically since the launch of the recent console.

(Note, I don’t hate Xbox and even own the Series S as a backup console if my PC explodes or a game I want to play doesn’t work on Linux. I hate Playstation probably even more for what Sony is doing. Just mentioning this as a context, because I’m so negative in this post towards Xbox, but more specifically Microsoft.)

chloyster,

Idk if I’d really consider it an ad for the book tbh. If anything it’s an ad for another Eurogamer article, which is an interview they did with Jason. It’s pretty common for sites like this to link to articles that have similar topics to keep you reading

Midnitte,

BTW this article looks like an ad for Jason Schreier’s new book about this topic, that releases soon and is mentioned as the last sentence in the article with a single link that spans across 4 lines.

He’s had a few other articles written, but given the detail and research, I think he can be forgiven. It’s not like he’s trying to sell something that doesn’t live up to what the book is about.

Drathro, do gaming w Splitgate 2 plays great - but its new focus on objective-based 4v4 team games may be a turn off [Eurogamer]

The shift from “we’re making a fun and relatively casual arena shooter with a neat gimmick and extremely rewarding fundamentals” to “we’re making a generic e sport shooter” was swift and, frankly, uncalled for.

theangriestbird,

Yeah it bums me out to see the shift. I hope it’s more accessible than it seems on the surface, SG1 really clicked with me for a while there.

Drathro,

My friends and I all LOVED the pick-up nature of SG1. We’re all adults with busy lives, so hopping into a ~5 minute casual match was just so easy. And the casual nature made it feel like we could have success without “grinding” the game. I guess that is explicitly not the intent of SG2.

DoucheBagMcSwag, (edited )

Nope it’s not… Another live service with a never ending treadmill of rinse repeat and spend on micro transactions…oh and be sure to play as long as possible for engagement metrics.

The developers officially sold out

chloyster,

Yeah… Kind of bummed on it. I’ll try it out with some friends but I doubt we’ll play it for long

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Passion project vs corporate venture

stardust,

Their trailer with esports people had me going who even are these people and why would I believe anything coming out of their mouths when they are the equivalent of infomercial sales people with them being paid to be in it. Is it really the best way to market a game?

    HATEFISH,

    VPN to EU countries for all general article reading it is then. Fuck this is getting obnoxious.

    echodot,

    It’s the EU’s fault and their stupid ill thought out law. Even they admit that it’s bad, and it’s only made things worse.

    HATEFISH,

    I don’t mean the banner ads for cookies, I’m referring to sites restricting viewable content based on your selection. Which seems to be illegal in the EU.

    HereIAm,

    Who are these “they” that has admitted it’s a bad law?

    It’s one of the best recent pieces of privacy legeslation. It’s not the EU’s fault that websites are scumbags insisting on making life difficult for people.

    echodot,

    Yes it is. They completely failed to specify what would constitute compliance. They were warned repeatedly about this when the law first came out.

    It has good intentions behind it but the law itself doesn’t work. They haven’t reduced privacy violations at all because everyone just clicks yes because it’s so frustrating, And it isn’t against the law to implement these dark patterns so what’s the point?

    The Newscast is not the images. It’s an annoying video they embed in all articles and then floats when you scroll. I actually have set an adblock rule to block that shit.

    As for the images, for now hotlinking to Twitter images is possible, so:

    assassin_aragorn, do games w Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam

    Legitimately one of my favorite games. Incredible story, characters, and side quests. It’s also the only time I’ve actually felt like I was in a city when playing a game, they absolutely nail the environment and setting. It feels like a true city, not a video game city.

    ColeSloth, do games w Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam

    Anyone play on the steam deck? How is the performance on it since the last update?

    supercriticalcheese,

    No issues with it. I am playing it exclusively on the steam deck.

    ColeSloth,

    Sweet. Thanks. SD has pretty much completely taken over as my gaming PC, so whenever I get around to 2077, I’ll be doing the same as you.

    Akinzekeel,

    I keep hearing this from people but it runs terrible on my SD. Cannot get more than ~27 fps and it regularly dips below that.

    Did you tweak the settings somehow?

    I previously played it on my Xbox and had a great time. Would love to play it again on the SD eventually.

    supercriticalcheese,

    That’s weird did you tweak the graphics settings?

    I am using the steam deck defaults and it is limited to 30 FPS. But it’s stable it didn’t bother me so far.

    If I were to unlimit the FPS it stays in the 30-40 fps based on a small run I did now in Dogtown.

    Ten years of Stockholm syndrome would cause that.
