AnimalsDream, do games w $80 for Borderlands 4 too costly? Randy Pitchford says, "If you're a real fan, you'll find a way to make it happen"

Yeah, the way to make it happen is adding it to my wishlist and waiting for the price to drop to at least $40.

midori_matcha, do games w Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy
@midori_matcha@lemmy.world avatar

I’d like to say their legalese is written in a way that covers more ground in the US, the most litigious country in the world. I would imagine if this was taken to court, their lawyers would argue that “permanently unusable in whole or in part” includes a console serial ban from NSO, or argue that it’s the user’s fault for bricking the console when they attempted to mod it, and Nintendo is therefore not liable or obligated to fix it.

But between the UK-ToS and US-ToS, Nintendo just straight up tells Americans that they themselves are going to break your damn console if you do a thing they don’t like. That is absolutely dystopian.

SuperSaiyanSwag, do gaming w GTA 6's delay doesn't mean the games industry's in trouble - it's already dead

Wake me up when indies are hitting the fan too, as it stands I don’t have any shortage of new amazing indie games to play. Not to mention, my backlog barely gets a dent in it even if I manage to finish like 2-3 games a month.

Lanusensei87, do games w Eternal Darkness' infamous sanity system patent has expired - so can anyone now copy it?
@Lanusensei87@lemmy.world avatar

Nintendo patents almost every mechanic they deem noteworthy, even if they amount to a bunch of gimmicky minigames or interactions. The sanity system, as it currently exists, is very rudimentary and overstays its welcome quickly, I’d argue making something substantially better was always on the table, and that alone would’ve bypassed the patent, so long is not literally the same code or instructions I guess.

Whirling_Cloudburst, do games w Eternal Darkness' infamous sanity system patent has expired - so can anyone now copy it?

I always wished they would have done more with the IP. Lovecraftian stuff is always fun.

The new game, “Look Outside” uses a sanity system and is also Cosmic Horror.

Nougat,

I can't tell if "Look Outside" is the name of a real game, or a sarcastic-not-sarcastic commentary on current events.

Whirling_Cloudburst,

Don’t look to closely or it will look back. o.o

Glide,

It can be both.

duchess,

didn’t they get the memo that all indie survival horrors need to be low poly nowadays /s

Glide,

There’s no “sanity” system in Look Outside. The closest thing is a hidden “stress” stat which, last I checked, is literally just combat problems when it gets low.

That said, Look Outside is a fantastic game, and the Dev is super down to earth and active with his players. Highly recommend.

Metostopholes, do games w The story behind the Oblivion mod Terry Pratchett worked on
@Metostopholes@midwest.social avatar

Required mod for any Oblivion playthrough. Vilja is great.

warmaster, do games w Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed again to March 20

lol, this game’s fucked beyond salvation.

chronicledmonocle,

It’s a Ubisoft game. It was doomed to begin with.

Dreyns, do gaming w Tango Gameworks and Hi-Fi Rush acquired by PUBG's Krafton, following Microsoft's studio closure in May

Sadly the studio had a lot of people leaving from what i gathered, tango studio may not be the same as before microsoft betrayal… But it’s a good thing for the artists tho !

nullpotential,

I didn’t know that, but it would make sense. I imagine many had already been looking for new jobs before they knew this would happen. Hopefully though something good will come from this.

BroBot9000, do gaming w Borderlands is failing already.
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

The cops should be called on Hollywood for IP abuse. 😂

hal_5700X, do games w Braid: Anniversary Edition "sold like dog s***", says creator Jonathan Blow

No one wants to buy the same game again. Who saw that one coming?

rozodru,
@rozodru@lemmy.ca avatar

Braid is like Myst. Everyone and their grandma either bought it, got it as a gift, got it in a bundle, or just pirated it way back in the day. I mean I friggin have it in my steam library and I don’t know how I got it.

So it doesn’t surprise me that no one bought this remaster or whatever.

add to the fact that remasters really work if it’s of a game that is on an older console or is an older game that has a hard time running on modern PCs. Braid isn’t either of those. Why pay for a remaster if chances are you already have it and is still runs.

@catalyst@lemmy.world avatar

Yeaaah, kinda seems like people just didn’t want a remastered Braid.

_sideffect, 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

I’ve seen people say 'I played forza for 150 hours and now it’s boring"

Like dude, wtf

Semi_Hemi_Demigod,
@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

I probably spent 150 hours just driving around the Top Gear track in reasonably priced cars.

MrDrProfJimmy,

Well how else are you supposed to figure out which celebrities you can beat over a lap?

_sideffect,

That’s fine, because you don’t seem like you find it boring yet

Semi_Hemi_Demigod,
@Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world avatar

Users find the weirdest bugs. Figuring out what happened makes me feel like Sherlock Holmes.

Duamerthrax,

No wonder this shit isn’t sustainable. I play standalone indie boomer shooters and 100 hours would mean high praise from me.

A_Random_Idiot,

meanwhile I got like 1000 hours into new vegas and i’m still all like “wtf is this? omg I never saw this before!”

_sideffect,

I just started my first play through two weeks ago! I played F3 like crazy when it came out but never got around to Vegas

A_Random_Idiot,

Vegas is still a fantastic game 14 years later. Not many games have that kind of holding power.

I hope you have a fantastic journey through it :D wish I could play it for the first time again.

_sideffect,

Haha yeah, I feel the same way about many great games I’ve played over the years

A_Random_Idiot,

and they get offended if you tell them to go play a different game, then.

Cause some of these idiots out there, I swear to god, act like the game they are currently playing is the only game in the world, until the next new hotness that catches their attention comes out, then that will be the only game in the world.

rbits, do games w Hades 2 early access launch on Steam reaches over 100k concurrent players 24 hours after launch

Nice. Won’t be playing it till the full release, I still have Hades 1 after all, but all this attention will probably make the game even better than the original

solsangraal,

i bought it immediately after work monday and have been playing nonstop in all my spare time. no bugs/glitches whatsoever. the only “placeholder” things i’ve seen are copy/paste images for the keepsakes in the display case

Rai,

Same experience here! It runs perfectly and I haven’t had a single issue.

webghost0101, do games w CD Projekt CFO does "not see a place for microtransactions in single-player games"

Is this a “its ok of ifs multiplayer” in disguise?

TheLowestStone,
@TheLowestStone@lemmy.world avatar

What people don’t say is often more important than what they do. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if the The Witcher 4 is an always online multiplayer game with mtx.

yamanii, do games w Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection used modder's work without credit
@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

Seems like Tomb raider collection was the fluke, because that one is almost perfect. But I tried out the dark forces remastered and was met with a godawful AI laser rifle with visible artifacts.
