original_reader, do gaming w Microsoft's £1/$1 Xbox Game Pass offer cut from a month to 14 days

So essentially it’s a 100% price increase.

NuPNuA,

For the trial, the actual service is going up a couple of quid a month.

darkevilmac, do gaming w DirectX 11 vs Vulkan: which is best for Baldur's Gate 3?

Running on Windows 11 with a 6900XT and Vulkan and DX11 look effectively identical as far as I can tell but Vulkan runs a lot faster and doesn't stutter when loading a new area.

Unfortunately though it tends to crash on tab out which means I need to use DX11 because I play with friends.

Yes. It’s not really meant as a visual improvement but as an efficiency improvement. Sadly it does seem (for some, myself included) that the Vulkan build needs a bit of work. For me it crashes all the time, and Larian themselves mentioned that it isn’t quite as stable as the DX11 build.

There are some instructions here on how to skip the launcher and ensure you still launch with your chosen graphics API.

It’s just waiting for clarification.

I love SR 3 and 4. But with SR2022 costing twice as much as FF16 it makes sense why it had to be this way

CH3DD4R_G0BL1N, do games w Eurogamer: we can't recommend the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds
@CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works avatar

I upgraded my rig after the beta just for this game. I’m playing it with plenty of frames after the new drivers and dlss 4, no frame gen. I have an i9-1400kf and 4080, way out of average range. It defaults to ultra everything. It still looks like absolute shit. I can’t believe they released this.

It’s a major shame because combat feels amazing. But they are ship of Theseusing MH. So many little baffling decisions. The scout flies aren’t actually as bad as I thought they would be. But there is just so much shit on the screen all the time. And the available settings don’t help so mod is the only hope I guess. They redesigned the item box interface, so 15 years of muscle memory is worthless and I think they removed the ability to sort items cuz I haven’t found the button to do it yet. You can’t simply open the menu and look at your status to include food skill descriptions anymore (or I can’t figure out how). There is no MH language?!? At this point I feel lucky they left in cat noises for felynes cuz the subtitles of their dialogue show me I’d have refunded if it was stuck in English.

I had a sense of awe and…pride?… when world was such a hit after loving this niche title for so long. But I got a sense of the transformation that was coming due to westernization/casualization and it’s just a let down. Idk why they didn’t have faith in their original, more whimsical vision.

God save the portable team.

For the item box, open the sub-menu. First option is auto-sort.

CH3DD4R_G0BL1N,
@CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah that’s just for the pouch, not the box. It looks like the categorized tabs are supposed to replace the need for auto sorting the box, but it doesn’t feel right with the aforementioned 15years of playing. Guess I’ll get used to it.

I mean, 185 people lost their jobs.

MITM0, do games w Ubisoft announces studio closure as it lays off 185 staff
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

Closure ? So… Ubisoft is gone ?

alphapuggle,

Ubisoft Leamington is gone. Ubisoft as a whole is still around (for now)

ech,

Booo

simple,

Just one of its studios, not the whole company.

Yerbouti, do games w Ubisoft announces studio closure as it lays off 185 staff
@Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works avatar

Gamers won. No executives will lose a dime but 185 workers are screwed because Ubisoft bad and Steam good.

nul9o9,

Ubisoft is bad Steam is good

Yerbouti,
@Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works avatar

Steam is just another soul-less capitalist business. They employ less then 100 people but take 30% on every game sold. They would do the exact same things as Ubisoft if the estimate they could profite more from it.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Right, they profit more by being good. Ubisoft profits less by being bad. That’s how it’s supposed to work.

atro_city,

What does this have to do with Steam?

greenashura,

I wonder who do you think was at fault at the sinking of the Titanic, was it the Iceberg for you?

Yerbouti,
@Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works avatar

That’s a stupid analogy. The employees are not responsible for the bad management déecisions, they just want to be fairly paid for doing a job they like. Meanwhile “gamers” are fucking obsessed about trashing a game that isn’t out yet because “nO bLaCK SaMuRai iN my HiStorIc vidiyaGame aBout ficCtiNal chArcTers RuNNInG oN wAlls”. Just dont buy their games.

greenashura,

The travelers of the titanic were not responsible either for the crashing of the ship. Either way you’re missing the point. I didn’t mention a single game, the company which has taken a bad direction because of greed is to blame that developers have now lost their jobs. Not gamers.

Koen967,

We aren’t buying their games, which is why the studio closes.

P00ptart,

Yeah, just go ahead and blame the consumer because the company makes shit product. They keep pushing stuff that the people don’t want. Any business doing this is going to go tits up. That’s just how it works. Are you out there buying 30 extra versions of Far cry to help them out? If not, stfu about it and blame the people in charge, definitely not the consumer.

Fredselfish, do games w Video Game History Foundation's long-awaited digital library will be available online next week
@Fredselfish@lemmy.world avatar

I would love a physical library near me. Or better a way to check things out through the mail. Like the old Netflix except with cool old magazines and such. I have a kindle but digital not the same and hate having to stare at a screen to read magazines. Cool none the less.

Hideakikarate,

While a physical mail in thing would be nice, it would likely add a ton of wear and tear to the objects with shipping and handling, assuming they even get sent back.

Fredselfish,
@Fredselfish@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I know assholes would ruin it for the rest of us. Be nice if we could have these in more places. Even if it was only view in the facility and not take home, it still be awesome to have physical access.

30p87, do gaming w AMD's new AI-based FSR 4 upscaler impresses in hands-on testing at CES 2025 on RX 9070-series hardware [Eurogamer/Digital Foundry]
@30p87@feddit.org avatar

What is “9070-series” supposed to be? “9070” isn’t a series but a specific graphics card! If you want to reference the whole series, then say “9000-series”!

theangriestbird,

Technically they just announced the 9070 and the 9070 XT, so there are two different designs that could be considered part of the “9070-series”. They could also be saying “series” because most of the 9070s on the market will be AIB boards with slightly different feature sets.

AngryMob,

It doesn’t say this in the article, but they mention it in the DF video: they couldn’t tell which card it was on exactly, it was a 9070 or 9070 XT engineering sample.

lustyargonian,

I think there’s a marketing slide from AMD saying they’re renaming their GPUs to better match competition. So 9070 series cards are supposed to match 5070 series cards, that’ll be 5070, 5070 Ti as of now and super later on.

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

They’re not saying it but I think it’s likely this is because of all the big games coming out in February. Civ 7, Avowed, and Monster Hunter Wilds are the three big ones and those take up a lot of time. Shadows would get lost in the weeds. Meanwhile there isn’t really a big game coming out in March. So perfect time.
