sub_, do gaming w Dark Souls reportedly being turned into Netflix anime

They should pause when showing item description and after the end credits, they should link to youtubers explaining what happened actually in the anime.

psx_crab, do gaming w The Witcher 3 director's new RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker is different to that classic CD Projekt Red game in one big way: it doesn't have a main quest [Eurogamer]

his new role-playing game has no main quest

What he describe really sounds like BOTW but with TTRPG writing, you have a goal, you have faction quest to do, and all these quest affect your path to the goal, and you can probably just walk straight to that goal if know where it is and you’re speedrunner enough.

Okay he did mention FO1 and 2, which is basically that.

But anyway, fresh IP from good rpg dev, can’t say i’m not excited for it.

DebatableRaccoon, do gaming w "This is a blatant, unapologetic act of vicious union busting" - Hundreds of Rockstar employees sign letter to management, demanding fired colleagues get reinstated

That’s not going to change the situation because it would now look like R* admitting fault if they were to re-hire the people who got fired.

Hirom,

R* should have thought of that before doing union busting. Now management is left with bad options and have to decide which option is least bad, for instance admitting they were wrong, or let the situation decay further and potentially escalate the fight against their own workforce.

DebatableRaccoon,

I’m not saying it’s the correct decision. I’m saying they’re a corp and corps always go the route of pride. They won’t admit fault, certainly not after the public reason they gave for firing the people in the first place.

Hirom,

You may be right, but I don’t see how that change the calculus. Should employees and union be complacent with corps’ bad and potentially illegal actions (firing for being in an union is not legal in some areas), refuse to defend colleagues, just to avoid hurting the corporation pride?

Anyway, we’ll probably hear more soon, and will see how this play out.

DebatableRaccoon,

Sadly breaking the law is legal when you have enough money in the bank.

Sina,

The shareholders may force them to bend tbh.

Kissaki,

It they’re not willing to admit fault then they’re inevitably announcing or implying standing opposite to and working against their workers.

Midnitte, do gaming w Remember episodic gaming? Former Telltale devs are bringing it back for the release of Dispatch, and there's a chance it might work this time | Eurogamer

It is sort of funny to think that a developer that was resurrected from the dead, might somehow, successfully pull off episodic gaming now when they couldn’t before they died.

If Valve couldn’t do it, I sort of doubt anyone can really do it. Video games are soul-crushing to develop.

psx_crab,

The issue with valve is not they couldn’t do it, it’s because how they develop game. If no one pick up the project then the project just die. That’s how hl2ep3 die. If they run like how every other company is, we would already finished the series.

The flip side of that is we get stuff like Steam Deck, Index, Alyx, and Proton.

theangriestbird,

Devil’s advocate, it’s possible they learned a lot by trying and failing, and now they are better equipped than anyone to figure it out.

Then it’s just a question of the audience wanting it.

knokelmaat,

Telltale was severely mismanaged. They expanded way too quickly and created incredible amounts of debt based on the idea that all their games would be as successful as The Walking Dead. I do believe that there is a place for episodic adventure games, just with a small enough scope and expectations.

SteposVenzny, do gaming w Would you rather stop playing a game than lower the difficulty? The First Berserker: Khazan devs reckon you would | Eurogamer

It’s not a pride thing, it’s just that I’m so used to not thinking about difficulty modes that they don’t occur to me as a solution in the moment. I straight up forget that the game is more than the version of it I’m currently experiencing.

BlameTheAntifa, 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"

Pitchford gives off some strong “do you guys not have phones” energy. He’s so out of touch it’s astounding.

Also, let’s not forget the new EULA regarding shift accountsAlso, he made his 'fans" wait while bl3 was only available on the epic store. Fuck this dude, I am done with the franchise.

ILikeBoobies,

How is the game being available make people wait? Did PC get the release before consoles?

simonced,

Steam customers are out of the loop. We could access the game through epic store, but it’s a separate account, and not everybody has/want one. Hence the wait to release on Steam.

ILikeBoobies,

So he didn’t make anyone wait, some people just chose to

@Little8Lost@lemmy.world avatar

For small indies it makes sense to publish on the pc epic game store a year earlier to get fundet for simply releasing the game there earlier.
A lot of smaller indies used that time as a kind of early access and got later super popular on steam, the main pc game store.

But for a big studio to do something like this is scummy
They already have a playerbase and a big budget
I dont even know if payment was involved but there is no other reason i can think of that explains this

    @Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

    Completely unrelated.

    That id software is now owned by Microsoft pisses me off way more than it should. I was already iffy when they were acquired by Zenimax.

    And there’s literally no one left of the original crew at this point.

    I think I’m done with Doom, Wolfenstein and all that.

    Rant over and sorry. It all just dawned on me when I saw the post.

    theangriestbird,

    it sucks that half of my favorite studios are now owned by a company that makes it’s money on literally killing people. i want to support the devs for the amazing games that they made but i don’t want my money supporting that heinous shit.

    You can decide to be unhappy (or not). The old games will not be stolen from you, and all complains aside, there are far more good games on the market than 20 years ago.

    Faydaikin,
    @Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

    I know that and I’m happy that there is so much to choose from these days, simply because distribution isn’t a big issue anymore. The indie scene has never been in a better place.

    It’s a nostalgia thing. Plus, I’m against the whole “exclusivity” thing. And a bunch of other reasons, but it hardly matters.

    Sometimes you just need to vent your disappointment, you know?

    Clickbait title, GTA 6 delay has nothing to do with the game industry

    Previous titles from rockstar like RDR2 and GTA 5 were also delayed

    theangriestbird,

    did you read the article? do you understand the state that the industry is in atm?

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

    I think this one’s going to sell quite well once word-of-mouth spreads.

    I’ve played several hours of this already and the deeper I get, the more it makes me think of Dark Souls. It has that same sort of cadence in the dungeons, just turn-based instead, with a party. What’s wild is even with how derivative the concept is, it’s a brilliant, fresh-feeling idea for dungeon design. I’ve been feeling like JRPG dungeons have been stale for a while now, and I’m loving both how dangerous the dungeon trash is and how there isn’t a ton of it. Normally by this point in a more traditional Japanese-style RPG I’m starting to skip around in boss rush mode. Not here. I’m wanting the challenge.

    It’s nowhere near as difficult as a Souls-like though. I’ve seen many complaints about how not-optional the dodge/parry system is, but at least so far, I think there are ways around it. I’m not even through Act 1 and there are already enough tools that even people that miss most dodges can find busted builds to offset with (and I’m sure I’ve missed a lot of helpful Pictos and other loot already).

    I have some nits to pick, but it’s been a great game on the whole so far. The soundtrack and voice acting in particular are top-notch.

    criss_cross,

    I just bought it last night and this is quickly becoming one of my favorite games. Everything just hits so well.

    I haven’t had a story draw me in like this one in years.

    JakobFel, do games w Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate"
    @JakobFel@retrolemmy.com avatar

    That’s because they’re classy and understand that the two are totally different projects. Skyblivion is impressive but that doesn’t even remotely mean that an official remaster/remake isn’t worth having.
