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

AAA games have been boring and bland for quite some time. I got a Steam Deck and mainly play indie games and older titles. I couldn’t care less about GTA 6 or new consoles. There’s such a huge catalog of games on Steam to play.

ModernRisk, do games w Nintendo lawyers want to force Discord to reveal Pokémon Teraleak source

The more I read about Nintendo, the more genuine dislike I get for them. The only thing I read, hear and see are negative bullshit for some petty reason they’ve.

I hate how such a shit company holds so many good nostalgic games. Truly hoping for a quick hack on the Switch 2 and a PC emulation (and I hope truly, hope that Palworld wins the whole fiasco).

Kataelyna, do games w Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate"

My computer’s specs are just under the minimum for new games released these days. It will probably be able to handle Skyblivion, but almost definitely not the remake. So that’s the one that has my attention

iusearchbtw, do games w More Disco Elysium alumni join former staff at Longdue working on spiritual successor
simple,

The whole situation is a mess and it’s hard to tell who’s in the wrong. I’m hoping the devs just keep making good games at this point.

Everyone is a little in the wrong, I think. But Argo is one of the good guys, and for me one of the biggest takeaways I was left with after deep diving onto this whole mess is a deep sadness over the friendship between Kurvitz and Argo falling apart.

slaacaa, do games w Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 hits 1m sales in just one day

Very happy for the success of this game, even if it’s not my style. It seems like a breath of fresh air among soulless cash grabs

I tried the first and just couldn’t get into it. But the game industry needs titles that aren’t full of loot boxes and requiring online connectivity

slumberlust,

Did you try any mods that remove some of the limiter features? For example I played with encumbrance set to zero and all vendors with gold to sell you. Both were huge QoL improvements.

I couldn’t get into the combat. I’m too used to Skyrim and simple fighting systems. Maybe I’ll try it again

TheOakTree,

I would maybe suggest modding your defence to a high level, unlocking defence perks, and spamming block. The combat certainly becomes more manageable as you level up, unless you’re simply fighting a group of people by yourself. Then it never gets easier.

slaacaa,

Yes, not every game needs to appeal to everyone - the problem is that big publishers are always aiming for the lowest common denominator, that’s why we end up with many bland and similar games

padge, do games w Ubisoft announces studio closure as it lays off 185 staff

That’s a shame, that was the studio that worked on Guitar Hero Live. I kind of liked that game

djsoren19, do games w Black Myth: Wukong producer on The Game Awards top prize snub: "I came all the way here for nothing!"

On the one hand, I can kinda get it. It must really suck to lose to a self-servicing corpo ad-a-palooza, even one as well crafted as Astrobot. It’s like losing a collectible contest to FunkoPops, just clear feelsbad.

On the other, fuck this guy for dragging nationalistic pride into a dumbass award ceremony. The Geoff-fest is always a stupid corporate cockgag that celebrates publisher money more than developers, taking it personally and trying to pretend like all of China was snubbed only serves to makes BMW look worse.

Aurora_TheFirstLight,

I don’t feel it was undeserved, it’s good that super productions lose to better crafted titles, maybe one day actual indie games will be on the contest for game of the gear

MajorHavoc, do games w Elder Scrolls Online developer votes to unionise

Nice. An effective union is probably the only thing that will bring me back to shopping for AAA titles again, so this seems like a win for everyone.

eupraxia,

probably the only thing that’ll bring me back to professional game dev. especially cool to see after how brutal of a year it’s been for the industry. hope this works out for them!!

heavy, do games w Of course someone has Doom running on Nintendo Alarmo now

Now make it so you have to beat e1m1 for the alarm to turn off.

Chozo, do gaming w Alan Wake, Control developer Remedy reveals first-ever multiplayer game [FBC: Firebreak, Co-op multiplayer Control spinoff]

I loved Control so much, I'm glad to see that Remedy's still expanding on that universe.

CosmoNova, do games w "Modding is pretty big" says Baldur's Gate 3 director as over 1m mods are installed in less than 24 hours

Note that Larian essentially takes full ownership of anything you upload on their own mod Loader and that you can still install external mods despite claims from some players that you can’t.

I’ve seen some wild discourse on the Steam forums in recent days so let me remind you: It will take some time for some mods to be updated so stay patient.

You may also run into issues with the update itself even if you never used mods. Larian is aware and recommends a full re-download and installation which of course can be very frustrating. Maybe it’s worth waiting a couple weeks or months before jumping back into the game.

ltxrtquq,

1. OWNERSHIP

By accepting these terms, you acknowledge and agree that you do not own or have any proprietary rights in the Game or any Mods you create, except as specifically mentioned here. Any Mods you create are your property only if they consist only of your original creative work. To the extent that any element of your Mod includes or is derived from the Game’s intellectual property (such as code, themes, characters, names, stories, dialogue, locations, artwork, sounds, music, and visual effects), you agree that all intellectual property rights therein, whether they are registered or not, are owned by Larian Studios and its licensors.

I’m not sure I believe you about your first point.

p03locke,
@p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

That kind of ownership clause is pretty standard for mods, especially when the game officially supports mods. Game studios don’t want to run into legal issues if they release some DLC or patch that happens to implement features that another mod included.

fishbone,

It’s also a way to essentially say, “hey if we release paid dlc, you can’t call it a mod and release it for free”.

CosmoNova,

Luckily you don’t have to believe me because, as I said they essentially take ownership as they have stated here. There are very rare cases where this exception is the case or even possible. I mean this clause doesn’t start with ‘You own your mod, unless…’ for a reason. It starts with pretty much ‘You do not own anything unless…’. Larian are developers, not good samaritans. They’re hoping to get something out of this and given their next game will be even more expensive, I’m sure this little silver mine will come in handy down the line. Just taking a look at the mods that are trending tells you they take ownership of almost everything by default.

TachyonTele,

Yes, because you’re using their game, and thier tools, their platform, and their IP to make and release the mods.

It’s not some conspiracy.

CosmoNova,

Who said it is? Jesus Christ some of you fand really are like a cult.

TachyonTele,

Living in reality is not ‘like a cult’.

ChairmanMeow,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

Larian are now the proud owners of the “Daddy Halsin” mod. Truly an asset to their IP!

Randomgal,

Wait you’re looking for evidence? And using logic? Sir this is Lemmy.

Jolteon,

Reminds me of how a bunch of mods got integrated into Divinity original sin 2 as optional features.

TachyonTele,

Note that Larian essentially takes full ownership of anything you upload on their own mod Loader…

Every company does.

CosmoNova,

And you’d be surprised how many people forget that and then are surprised when they’re taken advantage of.

TachyonTele,

Who’s taken advantage of? What are you talking about.

jjjalljs, do games w "Modding is pretty big" says Baldur's Gate 3 director as over 1m mods are installed in less than 24 hours

Fingers crossed for total conversions. Give me some non-5e rule systems. (Unlikely, I know. Double unlikely to get anything other than maybe Pathfinder, but I can hope)

LouNeko,

Or importing new maps and characters, imagine somebody porting the Resident Evil Mansion or Raccoon Police Station with the Resident Evil Characters. Playing Resident Evil 1 with 5e rules would certainly be something. People have already done it with Men of War Assault Squad 2.

TachyonTele,

I read somewhere the modding tools are extremely limited because the DnD company doesn’t want people to mess too much with the game.

ChairmanMeow,
@ChairmanMeow@programming.dev avatar

Someone already figured out how to “unlock” the full thing.

AlexisFR,
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

Should we tell them about the Pathfinder thing?

At least 1. And it’s compatible with the big race mod that adds basically every single race that ever existed in D&D to the game.

11111one11111, 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 don’t want a fucking endless game I want a finished game for the price I pay at release that doesn’t require $3000 gpu to render the most obnoxiously detailed graphics of a game that has the fucking depth of mine sweeper.
