OtakuAltair, do gaming w Valve is now selling refurbished Steam Decks with up to £110 off

This is such a good deal I feel like I’d be losing money by not getting these lol

echodot,

I already have one, but now I’ll have to buy another to save money

Cryst,

If you buy 10 you’ll save even more. It’s like getting your steam deck for free! Hah, valve must be stupid or something, they’re giving steam decks away!

I really wish someone would teach these companies how to count.
My only guess is that they want to hide the insane amount of COD games there are.

gk99,

In this case, it’s because it’s a reboot. Calling MW (2019) “MW4” would’ve been arguably more confusing because the new and old games are completely unrelated to each other. Totally different stories, part of a single timeline built off of the Black Ops universe, and a reset of fan favorite characters that have been brought back. There are already a surprising amount of people who don’t understand that, I’ve seen people shocked to find out it’s not just a prequel and that new Ghost is likely to stay alive permanently for those big bucks.

Besides, it’s not like the numbers used to properly correlate, either. Despite Doom 64, there aren’t 63 other Doom games, and Doom 3 is a Doom (1993) prequel. That kind of craziness happened way before DOOM (2016).

I think one of the reasons people don't understand that is because they've pulled the same trick multiple times with far less logical reasoning, so they've kinda done that to themselves.

But thanks for explaining it.

Hadriscus,

But is Doom 64 a prequel to Windows 8 ?

Hdcase, do gaming w The Callisto Protocol developer Striking Distance Studios lays off 32 employees

That’s a real bummer, especially as I ended up really liking Callisto. I hope everyone lands on their feet.

Etterra, 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"

Fuck you, I’m not paying $80 for a game so an executive can get a new Porsche.

@joel_feila@lemmy.world avatar

And my way is, wait a few years for the deluxe edition to come out on sale.

dragonbringerx,

Shit, I waited until BL3 was free on PSN, and I’ll get around to it someday.

Lmao guess I’m not a real fan then!

Etterra, do games w Apple blocks Fortnite's return to iPhone in US

Honestly, I maintain the ancient line of if you’re playing games on Apple you’re doing it wrong. Apple is not a gaming platform. That said, Fortnite sucks so meh.

RaoulDook, do games w Death Stranding 2 preview: how a big dollop of Metal Gear is expanding Kojima's bizarre epic

Norman Reedus and the Funky Feetus 2: Death Gear Boogaloo

More Metal Gear-like sounds awesome. Article mentions equipment customization, more weapons, camo options for stealth etc.

SkunkWorkz,

Well I was hoping it meant indoor sneaking levels like MGS2 and not MGSV gameplay.

Nasan,

Maybe something like sneaking through the bowels of an Arsenal Gear-like BT?

gradual,

Yes, video games in general have stopped caring about interiors because they require “too much thought” on the part of the lazy/incompetent developers.

FreeBooteR69, do games w Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version
@FreeBooteR69@lemmy.ca avatar

I didn’t like the game, not my kind of play. Glad others love it though.

SolidShake, do games w Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 hits 500k sales in one day

It’s a weird ass game so far. But I only got through the prologue and went back to oblivion. The sound design is atrocious in just the volume mixing. I though stellar blade has a quiet voice overs but damn this game sets a new bar lmao.

I like it though, I’m all for just weird ass stuff that makes no sense, it’s refreshing to see new IPs these days.

Chronographs,

Audio has seemed fine to me, have only need the subs for the characters that aren’t speaking a real language lol

SolidShake,

No I mean volumes. Like the music is insanely loud compared to voice. I had to turn effects and music down to 40%

Chronographs,

Yeah haven’t felt that way idk

JadenSmith,

This sounds like the issue I had a good while ago, before realising something I was using was trying to output as surround sound, whereas I only had stereo speakers (so some sounds seemed normal, some incredibly low).

Just thought of giving that a mention. It may be worth having a look in your game settings, if there is an option to output as Stereo.

SolidShake,

No option for that on the audio section of the game.

JadenSmith,

I installed the game myself and had a look, unfortunately you’re right. My speakers are decent with hearing everything, however I can definitely notice the vocals being considerably lower than the music and such.

There is a way to normalise audio levels from within Windows sound settings, you just have to remember to revert once you’re done playing.
This seems to be a good article about it: pureinfotech.com/normalize-sound-volume-windows-1…

It’s a workaround, but it should help with the game and anything else you’d have this issue with. If you’re using Linux, unfortunately I can’t help. Good luck!

SolidShake,

It’s on console dude lol.

JadenSmith,

Ah fuck. Sorry man, I hope someone can figure it out. It’s a very new game, so hopefully more people take enough notice for a fix to be implemented.

Otherwise, I found an article which seems to allude to advanced volume settings to ‘normalise audio’, on an Xbox, in a similar way: support.xbox.com/…/choosing-speaker-audio-output

If you’re using a Playstation, it may be worth digging around in your system settings. Sometimes the option is referred to as ‘equalise’, ‘dynamic range’, etc.

Hope this helps!

tanisnikana,

Set the music to 75%, and turn up the volume knob on your speakers just a bit. The combat hits should ring out with a startling clarity. Also, easier to parry that way.

SolidShake,

Everything is turned down to 40 except for dialog

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

Kolanaki, do games w The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remaster is real - Eurogamer
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I don’t think it would be hard to fake these screenshots. Bethesda shadow dropping a game of this high profile within a week, without ever having officially said anything about it or even replying to media asking about it just seems incredibly unlikely.

psx_crab,

Maybe release isn’t likely, but announcement is. Remember they drop Fallout 4 trailer and then saying it’ll come end of year? Maybe that’s the magic they want to recreate.

This remaster has been leaked and rumoured since 2020 though
