FrankTheHealer, do games w Nintendo demoed Switch 2 to developers at Gamescom

Im not interested unless it has; Hall effect thumb sticks to reduce stick drift

An OLED screen

Backwards compatibility with Switch 1 games.

A headphone jack that allows game chat and game audio

And is designed to be easily repaired, like not having tons of adhesive, uncommon screw types etc

SpaceNoodle,

They’re never going to get rid of the tri-wing screws.

bassomitron,

Is there a practical reason they use those obnoxious screws or is it simply to discourage home repairs? When I had to replace my Switch’s fan last year, those insanely tiny screws were a pain in the ass to not accidentally strip.

SpaceNoodle,

It’s purposeful to discourage user servicing. I recommend purchasing a quality tri-wing driver, e.g. from iFixit or Proskit.

bassomitron,

I figured as much. And yeah, when I replaced my fan I bought the iFixit kit which was really useful.

SpaceNoodle,

I’m usually not one to advertise, but they provide extremely accurate and complete guides for precision electronics repair, and sell the necessary tools and parts with sufficient quality and reasonable prices.

sebinspace,

iFixit have the best driver at the price point, period

Lesrid,

iFixit’s pro kit is great even if you only open up one device a year

SkyNTP, do games w Starfield's new PC patch delivers the game we should have had at launch - Eurogamer

Lack of graphics settings aren’t why I stopped playing. It’s the game mechanics. The game isn’t that fun for two major immersion breaking reasons.

  • Loading screens. So many loading screens. Just reminds me I’m using software instead of being in a universe.
  • Over reliance on fast travel. Yeah, space is boring. But why have a space setting at all if we are going to skip through it? Why bother building custom ships if there are no real challenges to overcome with them because spending time in space is not necessary at all ? Worse, it’s a bad experience because of the loading screens.
Anticorp,

There should be a happy medium. I haven’t played Elite Dangerous in a year because I’m 50 jumps away from where I need to go, which means like 3 hours of nothing but travel. But the realism is out of this world. This Starfield thing of never needing to fly is too far in the other direction. I think a happy medium would be a system like Elite Dangerous, but if you need to travel more than a couple of systems over, have a long distance jump gate or something like that, and maybe autopilot. Eve online has jump gates and autopilot, but it can still take hours to cross the universe. It’s more entertaining to have a quick travel option for those scenarios. Eve has wormhole systems that will let you cross the entire universe in a few jumps, but finding those connections will take longer than just flying directly, unless you’re in a huge wormhole corporation that uses 3rd party tools to map all of the wormhole connections to known space.

lemmyvore,

Why doesn’t Elite let you travel offline? Like, set the destination, close the game, and reopen it 3h later.

Anticorp,

I’m not sure. I guess because they go hard in the simulation aspect of the game. Although if we’re being realistic, it’s unrealistic that you’d have an interstellar space ship without an autopilot. I read that there are mods to enable autopilot, but I also read they can get your account banned, so I stopped looking into them.

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

Because they decided to make the game always online in a persistent galaxy so the possibility a ganker finds has to be respected.

osprior,

That’s not true, you can play solo (but you still need to be online) and you won’t see other players

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

I actually forgot that’s an option, which just makes the always online an even weirder choice.

Delta_V,

Its not about good game design.
Its a kind of DRM - a move inspired by the hypothesis that making a game hard to pirate will improve sales.

The data suggests that hypothesis is false.
An EU-funded study found that profits of blockbuster movies are negatively impacted by piracy, music industry profits are unaffected, and profits from selling books and video games are increased by piracy.

Dragster39,

I think the X-Series did this really well

omicron,

Everyone loves to hate on it, but one thing that Star Citizen absolutely nails is the sense of immersion. From the time you load in until the time you are inevitably disconnected from the server, and from ground to ship to space, you are in one experience with no loading screens

c0mbatbag3l,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

I’m 50 jumps away from where I need to go, which means like 3 hours of nothing but travel

If you upgrade your fuel scoop, that’ll cut down your time severely. I can do about 30 jumps an hour with my Krait Phantom. Refuels before my FSD is even cooled down.

val,

Given every single system in Starfield is already explored and built on, I think they should have just given up on the jump system and gone with a gate system like Freelancer or the X series. You get to fly to every point without menus while still being time efficient. The reason they didn’t go with this is presumably because of the supposed “exploring the unknown” angle, but you never explore anywhere new in Starfield anyway.

amenotef,
@amenotef@lemmy.world avatar

I must confess that sometimes fast travel removes a lot of value from a game. While it saves you a lot of time like a cheat. Cheats also save you time.

DeathsEmbrace,

The GTA 5 problem.

TwilightVulpine,

It’s a lot of fun to drive around in GTA 5 though

randomthin2332,

You see this issue when one of your core game loop isn’t enjoyable. It happens a lot in games, and you notice it if a game gives you and item or ability to play the game less.

This can be okay if this item comes in just as that loop gets boring (like you unlock special flash grab drives part way through the game). But if they let you fast travel from the beginning the likely case is that they found the whole space travel boring and they ended up providing a way around it.

Which leaves people asking “why’d you bother adding it in there”

jaschen, do games w Nintendo reserves the right to brick your console following "unauthorised use", in bid to prevent piracy

So a few years ago I wanted to play a Japanese version of a rhythm game that isn’t available to purchase in the USA and decided to try my hand at modding my switch for this one game.

After(poorly) doing it, I wasn’t able to play that game AND Nintendo bricked me. All my games on my switch that I purchased were unable to download or play anymore.

So I went and set out to mod my switch correctly.

Now if I actually wanted to give Nintendo money, they won’t allow me to. So my only option from then on is to pirate.

They basically turned a potentially paying customer to a non paying customer.

Quexotic,

So, this is a basic security principle. If the system of access is too “secure” or too inconvenient, people will create workarounds.

Need keys for all the doors every second of every day? You’ll find duct tape on all the latches.

Password is 15 characters and changes every 60 days? You’re going to find post-its under keyboards.

Spread all digital content across 8 streaming providers that cost about $180/y? Torrent time.

Nintendo wants to brick users for trying to play an out of region game they paid for? They’ll never pay again and will reverse engineering your shit out of spite.

Same thing we saw with the music industry utterly failing to embrace internet distribution. Limewire and bearshare are their fucking lunch.

When will they learn to just make access easy? People, generally, would rather pay than pirate but when you start making shit difficult, nobody wants to play your games anymore and you see massive losses.

Meet your customers where they’re at!

Zahille7,

i have an account on my ps4 (and ps5) that i log into and suddenly i’m in a different region. the ps5 says i only get so many region changes, but i can log into the accounts as many times as i want

Quexotic,

Never tried. I’m a ps guy now, but the point is that there shouldn’t be region codes to begin with.

Anywhere I’ve ever seen a region code to be changeable you only get to change it a certain number of times before you get stuck in a region. This is why you’ll find TBD players that have been firmware flashed to be regionless.

Similar here. Bricked my kids switch, so we modded it. Now we have ALL the games.

JackbyDev,

How’d you mod it after you bricked it?

thermal_shock, (edited )

It won’t access the Nintendo network, can’t use store, etc. not 100% bricked. Sorry

JackbyDev,

Ah okay, thanks. I’m too scared to mess with most hardware so not always up to date on the terminology. My tinkering is exclusively desktop/laptop stuff.

thermal_shock,

It’s 100% worth the mod OR put that money toward a steam deck/Linux handheld. Im actually looking to sell this switch to put towards another steam deck. Sooo many more options and better support, not locked into Nintendo bullshit. Put whatever you want on it (like 95% of games right now, I’ve had very few issues) but did have to learn a bit. Beats the hell out of a locked down ecosystem 100000%.

Lumiluz,

Soooo, just curious but, instead of modding, why didn’t you just set your console region to Japan? That’s what I did. Just seems a lot easier.

jaschen,

I didn’t know you could do that. I’m in Taiwan and I know Steam doesn’t let you make a purchase without a local credit card. So I imagine that’s the case for Japan.

SkybreakerEngineer, do games w Looks like Horizon's unannounced MMO has been quietly cancelled

Yes, let’s have the sequel to 2 single player RPGs be an mmo, that will make the fans happy

lobut,

But it worked so well with the multiplayer shooter Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League by Rocksteady Studios! /s

I know it’s not an MMO but there’s parallels there

I love the Horizon games (didn’t play the Lego version though) and it’s similar to the Batman games but don’t have any interest in an MMO or Live Action Shooter for them.

illi,

Ever heard of Warcraft?

lobut,

Yes, I’m in my 40s … I think at the time most people wanted an MMO of that RTS game.

I don’t see the parallel between that and the lore of the single player story-driven Horizon Zero Dawn but hey.

False,

As someone who played a lot of Warcraft 3 and really enjoyed the campaign before wow was announced, I was not pleased with the MMO announcement.

dogslayeggs,

Real question: after WoW had been around for a year or so, were you still unhappy about it? I never played any of the Warcraft games before WoW and had never played any MMOs before Wow, so I had no feeling either way about the announcement. I started playing WoW because two of my close friends and two of my coworkers were playing a bunch, so it was a good way to have more gaming friends than just my one gaming friend. Were most WC3 players unhappy about the announcement? It’s clear that millions of people ended up being pretty happy about it in the end.

MolochAlter,

Not OP but yeah.

Still am, to a point, because thanks to WoW we never got Warcraft 4.

And arguably chasing the WoW demographic also made DND 4th edition suck balls but that may be just the old grognard in me.

Passerby6497,

Nah, my gaming group talked the same shit about 4e. We went back to 3.5 a bit and a ton of GURPS before the group disbanded.

False,

After WoW had been around for a year or so, were you still unhappy about it?

Nah, I enjoyed WoW well enough for what it is. When WoW was announced there was a lot of skepticism on whether or not a company that was primarily known for their RTS games could make an MMO, along with a decent amount of “Who asked for this”. In hindsight I’m also a bit bitter that we never got and never will get Warcraft 4 though. To some degree Blizzard basically stopped developing games for a few years due to WoW’s success consuming the company.

Were most WC3 players unhappy about the announcement?

I think most of them would have preferred another RTS game.

illi,

Point was Warcraft was primarily single player RTS. Yes, with multiplayer mode but MMORPG is pretty big genre shift. In the end, it’s just about using the IP, nothing more.

You gave examples of games that tried something like this that failed, I just pointed out an example where it was quite successful.

We will never know if the Horizon MMO would be good or bad. I think the IP would fit MMO genre quite well tbh.

The real issue with live service game failiures is that studios design cash grabs, not games they would want to play.

lobut,

Oh, I didn’t mean this-therefore-that … I was trying to say that these two games in my experience having enjoyed the single-player, I think would have failed in the multiplayer realm as the desire doesn’t seem to be there. I’m certain there are examples in the opposite direction.

The IP “could” make sense as the gameplay goes for a very fetch questy type of mechanic and the land is vast and they could expand the lore.

I was just assuming (out of my ass) that these successful single-player story driven games are “forced” to do multiplayer games for cash grabs.

Albeit Blizzard did it for WarCraft, but I always saw Blizzard differently in this regard as it seemed like they had (very much past tense) the desire to do so.

Once again, all assumptions. I’m wrong, often am.

illi,

Might have been a cash grab - in fact it likely was. But I tend to reserve my judgement. I’m not on the live service hate train - in fact I’m often interested in what they might have on offer. I like to have a main game, and live service games are great for people like me as there is always something to look forward to. And I for one fucking hate the constant cach grab fails.

People always hate on live service games just because of the label, but there is serious lack of good live service games compared to good single player games.

My comment migh’ve come partyl from a place of frustration so apologies if I was harsh or something

lobut,

lol no worries, my comment came off as arrogant so it’d be deserved. Reserving judgment is good and something I some practice more as well.

Zorque,

Quality isn’t necessarily measured by desire. One can enjoy something they never desired before it existed. And one can loathe something they always desired before it was made, see the Warcraft movie (for me, at least).

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

It’s an open world game that takes a lot of inspiration from Monster Hunter. An MMO isn’t a huge stretch of the imagination.

lobut,

Yeah you’re absolutely right in terms of concept. I mean if you dig into my example, Suicide Squad could have been a good live-action shooter as well. Marvel Rivals is cooking right now.

I think my initial impression was switching a single-player studio over, but I lost that message in my reply. I also think it could be fun to take down mechs together as a team.

Just pulling it out of my ass, I didn’t think I see the appetite and if it’s not there then we could be left with a lackluster game.

I’m a big Horizon fan. Although I need to try Monster Hunter, my friends love it.

Katana314,

I vaguely remember The Matrix had an MMO that apparently evolved the lore in some crazy ways. And I’m going to guess they abandoned that for the new one.

SomethingBurger,

TBH it worked with Final Fantasy XIV.

Zorque,

Well… not at first.

ryathal,

Most the successful MMOs are similar to that. Warcraft, final fantasy, elder scrolls, swtor…

Uruanna,

To be fair, it was envisioned as multiplayer from the start, then dialed down and “settling” with HZD, then tried again before HFW and into the one with the 3D headset (mountain call or something?) and they kept saying they’d get to that original plan eventually. Does the Lego Horizon game have any of it? I want to believe the success of HZD and HFW as single-player helped them give that up in the end.

    No, the game is still a scam because it’s been literally over a decade of development and every time I’ve been invited to go try the latest and greatest in their innovation, the game is laggy as balls and the servers never work. Also the fact that they have ships costing as much as actual automobiles that people purchase despite still being technically in beta is absolutely bonkers. They’ve had several waves of crowdfunding and the game is still in a pretty garbage state.

    Trust me, I’ve wanted an actual successor to Freelancer for longer than this game has been in development, and it still doesn’t scratch the itch because whenever I try to play it, the game essentially doesn’t work.

    Cost discipline is the last thing on these guys’ radar. A 20,000 dollar ship? That’s like a third of somebody’s annual salary.

    In my uneducated opinion, it feels like the gaming industry advanced past “quarter-eating” mechanics and have reverse engineered their way back there. The rubber-banding doesn’t feel fun/competitive anymore. Even playing solo just feels like it’s just trying to give you a taste of success in an attempt to get you to spend real money. Those of us who won’t ever “pay-to-win” just see an arbitrarily difficult or awkward game. For example, one of the later ones feels like it changes the player speed drastically based on who IT wants to do better now

    Nilz,

    Unless they DMCA the Skyblivion mod.

    catloaf,

    Usually they do that shortly before announcing their own, like Nintendo with AM2R. Maybe they won’t do it at all.

    dinckelman,

    Unlikely to happen, because the leadership behind the project claimed they are in contact with Bethesda, to make sure no one’s stepping on anyone’s toes. Although obviously they can just pull the rug at any time, which would be catastrophic. Given that they’ve remade basically every single asset in the game, and require the original game to be owned and installed, it should be fine

    drivepiler,

    rurutheguru,

    I’ve been playing and replaying it since its original PC-only release in 2016. I remember being so excited about a new game finally improving on thr Harvest Moon formula. I think it’s safe to say that today it has completely surpassed other games in the genre. The freedom and variety of tasks in the game has since enticed me towards further replays as well. It’s so inspiring how passionate Barone has been towards his creation in the long run too.

    CorrodedCranium,
    @CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

    From what I’ve seen it seems a bit more targeted at teens and adults then kids and that’s kind of what I wanted Harvest Moon to be to begin with so I’m pretty excited to play it.

    Also generally the added depth and how fleshed out it seems

    rurutheguru,

    It encapsulates some whimsy and magical elements which have always been underdeveloped in other similar games. Filled with mystery, easter eggs and constant progress and discovery. The relationship elements are a lot more mature than Harvest Moon as well. Deals with some of the grit and consequences of living in reality. All packaged together superbly.

    I don’t think they’re in a hurry to repeat the WiiU

    It’s an Nvidia chip, so Switch Super.

    Who am I kidding, if they followed Nvidia it’d be Switch AI.

    Or Ultra Switch, as a throwback to the 64’s name before it was officially announced, which also means lots of Ultra games.

    How about the Swiitch? You get the roman numeral 2 in there and the name’s similar enough to the original Switch, so customers will be confused as to whether this is a new console or an iteration of the current one. Just like the Wii U!

    Hyping up old features as if they’re groundbreaking is a proud Bethesda tradition. I still remember laughing at their pre-release hype around the Radiant quest randomizer in Skyrim, which is virtually identical to the quest randomizer that Daggerfall had been built around fifteen years prior.

    Rentlar,
    DmMacniel,

    Also Radiant Quests were already part of Oblivion as well, which they had to dumb down for whatever reason.

    DaSaw,

    “Whatever reason” being that without the dumbing down, the NPCs were so murderous that, however hilarious it was, it rendered the game unplayable.

    DmMacniel,

    I only remember that it could render it rather difficult. but not that difficult. thanks for clarifying :)

    DaSaw,

    Murderous at each other, not the player.

    I guess you are right. But a Bethesda fan might be looking for these features. So it’s not meant to sell novelty, but familiarity instead.

    The novelty is in the space setting already.

    Aesthesiaphilia,

    Exactly. I've been playing Bethesda games for ages, news like this makes me happy they're keeping the stuff that works.

    EremesZorn,

    When I buy a Bethesda game, I know what I’m getting into. People bitch, but like you said, it’s the familiarity I’m going for.
    And you know the modding scene is going to be good in a year or so.

    Mothra,

    Totally.

    Ultimately I don’t understand all the bickering. I don’t like Subway or McDonald’s, but I also don’t rant that they are no good because they don’t have lasagna on the menu.

    Annoyed_Crabby,

    Fallout series doesn’t have jail though, every conflict is solve with fight to the death, so this indicate it’s more like ES than FO.

    conciselyverbose,

    It's a Q&A. People asked about shit they know about from other games.
