NocturnalMorning, do games w Black Myth: Wukong studio requests influencers not include "feminist propaganda" or Covid-19 references in coverage

I was excited to play this game until I saw this. Now I kinda don’t want to play it.

@Shape4985@lemmy.ml avatar

I love the borderlands franchise but there is no chance ill watch the movie. As soon as it said some of the writers from marvel was involved i was out.

Delphia,

It might become a cult terrible movie. I think thats its only hope.

Ill watch it at some point, but I wont be paying.

masquenox, 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

Riiiight… it’s the users of the product that is forcing the producers to work under toxic conditions, and totally not their money-grubbing capitalist bosses.

Riiiight.

SpaceNoodle, do gaming w Why the gradual death of the console exclusive makes business sense

Never thought I’d see the day. This is quite a valid strategy when both your console and your content are able to stand on their own - something that Microsoft forgot after the XBox 360.

mindbleach,

… Microsoft has been doing Xbox stuff on PC since the 360 era.

I think it’s just a temporary thing. Suits love nothing more than forcing people into their own wallet garden. Sony will notice less people pay for PS+ and then will turn back to exclusives. Maybe it’s also only temporary, to hook people on Sony games and then reach again. I’d love to see it a permanent thing though.

secret300, do games w Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam

What idiots gave this game a good review? It’s not like no man’s sky that had a small team and dozens of legal trolls as well as a flood.

Zorque,

It is like No Man's Sky in that most people who weren't fanatical about saying it had a huge turn around stopped caring about it after a year or so.

scops,

(First off, the last gen versions were a shit show and I fully believe CDPR should have bit the bullet and cancelled those preorders. That was a failure at the high levels, not with the devs. This is about the PC version:)

Hey yo, I’m one of those idiots that gave it a good review, and that was day one. Yeah, it had a bad launch, but I’d argue it was no worse than No Man’s Sky, or Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, or The Witcher 3. All of the above are some of my favorite games of all time.

If you don’t like the core game, cool. Agree to disagree. But the things that people love about the game now have been in there since 1.0. Sure, there are genuine criticisms to be made, but most of the hate this game got has either been patched out or was pure bandwagon hate to begin with.

secret300,

The point I’m making is that they had no excuse to release it in that state in the first place unlike hello games with no man’s sky which was also a horrible launch.

scops,

On old gen consoles, yes. On PC, it was merely a rough launch, not the industry shattering event it was made out to be.

DahGangalang, do games w Manor Lords is off to a flying start on Steam, just hours after its early access release

Is this just a Mount and Blade: Banner Lord ripoff? Kinda sounds that way?

theRealBassist,

Literally not at all. It’s a completely different genre.

DahGangalang,

Good to know!

originalfrozenbanana,

Not really. More of a city builder board game than RTS battler

DahGangalang,

Good to know, thanks for the feedback!

Summzashi,

Honestly curious why it sounds that way to you?

DahGangalang,

Medieval setting plus the similar sounds of “Bannerlord” and “Manor Lord”.

I realize that was a total mistake to assumed that now.

Summzashi,

Ah I can see that!

saigot, do gaming w Xbox spends "over a billion dollars a year" on Xbox Game Pass

What a wonderful multinational corporation, spending all this money out of the goodness of their heart! It’s moves like this that let me know I can trust Microsoft™

bec,
@bec@lemmy.ml avatar

I agree that they’re getting something from this (no way they just bleed money on it without a sound investment plan), but what do you reckon they actually get? Money directly from subscriptions can’t be enough to cover everything… is it just to build a walled garden ecosystem so they can “lock” people in and pick the fruits in a year or two? Although if something like a huge price hike happens, they will lose many customers

saigot,

I think the goal is to eat market share away from Steam, once users are too invested in the platform to switch (and/or steam is no longer relevant) then they start hiking the prices. It has the added effect of reducing the switch to linux momentum that the steamdeck started, but perhaps that is still too small to get MS’s attention

bec,
@bec@lemmy.ml avatar

I have no cars in this race, but if that’s their aim I think it will be impossible to achieve it. Steam already did that years ago, making people too invested in their platform I mean, MS is late. No way enough people will leave Steam to move permanently to Game Pass. They might get some users, but I don’t think they’ll ever get enough to make a difference for Steam or MS themselves. Buy we’ll see. I don’t really care either way

Katana314,

Things like buying the console, buying add-on content for games, etc. People have a membership, and want to make more use of it- though MS likely doesn’t mind people keeping it to the basics, since they don’t make huge bank off of singleplayer gamers anyway. I won’t even deny, I’ve bought small microtransaction items in a few games I only access through Game Pass - but I’m sure other people do far more often than me.
