    I’d be shocked if GTA6 has an offline/solo mode, with how much they’ve milked GTA5 Online for.

    CertifiedBlackGuy,

    The fuck over SP got is the biggest crime after the cucking we got over Anthem.

    A_Random_Idiot,

    Which is why no one should buy GTA6.

    but of course you know the mindless hordes of ignorant little goblins out there will not only buy it, they will preorder the mega super luxury ultra elite edition at that, making the game have a launch day sales record twice that of what GTA5 was in its entire first week.

    Thus proving to TakeTwo, Rockstar, and every other company that it doesnt matter how shitty, or how exploitative that they are… because gamers are fucking morons and will dumptruck money to their doorstep, and not even major fuckups like cyberpunk and starfield can prevent it.

    CertifiedBlackGuy,

    I liked Starfield and I still logged a shit ton of hours on it.

    But it’s story, dialogue, and character interactions feel that bad combination of rushed and PG13 in a setting that should be R. The fact that they will likely never rewrite and re-record these quests kinda blows. And the looting took a step backwards with the lack of clothing pieces and non-unique clothing stats.

    I’m excited for what the modding community does to the game, which is the major reason I bought it. I’ve got over 3000 hours on skyrim, less than 200 of that is vanilla gameplay ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Very cool. I still haven’t gotten to play it, but I’ve heard good things. Hope they find success with their newly founded studio!

    RangerJosie,

    I don’t have a PC so I can’t play. But im still looking forward to watching it on youtube.

    SynopsisTantilize,

    Curious, not trying to be snarky. Why don’t you have a PC?

    RangerJosie,

    Because of the cost of entry.

    Ah yes the Mcdonalds effect. Objectively its greasy trash food but sometimes that’s just what people want.

    Cannibal_MoshpitV3,

    McDonald’s is an anomaly amongst fast food in my opinion.

    All fast food is trash, but I have the exact same greasy, salty, mediocre experience with McDonald’s every single time. No other chain has the same consistency between different locations. Its just a safe option every time.

    So practically he wants to create a SaaS model to eternally milk their user base. As much as I like the game devs working for rockstar, their management is an utterly horrendous bunch of scums and in a way I wish that GTA6 is one giant flop.

    Ernest Cline is a sellout who got lucky piggybacking off the success of popular franchises. I’ve seen high schoolers write better than that guy.

    @inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world avatar

    It’s easily the worst book I’ve read, and I only finished because of the unintentional hilarity of it all. In a story ostensibly about how evil media mega corporations are, the author wrote a hail corporateove love letter to top selling franchises without realizing the irony.

    There was potential in it being a self parody, although in a way the whe situation is funnier because he was so earnest.

    jasondj,

    I spent my first audible credit on that book. I hadn’t seen the movie…still haven’t. But it was narrated by Wil Wheaton, and I knew him from reddit. He did a good job. That’s all I have to say about it.

    Fredselfish,
    @Fredselfish@lemmy.world avatar

    Same only way I heard it and the movie sucked ass. He is a sellout won’t even touch the second one.

    m13,

    It’s a blur to me now but I just remember so many forced 80s references, and the plot was basic. Fan fiction vibes.

    TwilightVulpine,

    Ironically I found the megacorp produced movie version much more palatable both because it wasn’t stuck on making that which the author liked the only media worth obssessing about, it showed that fans of all eras enjoyed themselves equally in that world. And because it gave more of a human core to Halliday’s quests and the plot, rather than it just being about who’s more of a fanboy gets rich and gets the girl.

    Seeing the book describe how Wade is so great at reciting every line of War Games just took me out of it. Am I supposed to be impressed by this second hand fawning over a different story? Is there even a point to that beyond Halliday/Ernest Cline thinking it’s cool?

    LeiaO42,

    I agree. I couldn’t get through the first 10 pages.

    Since I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere else in the comments, I thought I’d leave this here: 372pages.com/episode-0-a-book-were-probably-going…

    “372 Pages We’ll Never Get Back” is a podcast where Mike Nelson (MST3K, Rifftrax) and Conor Lastoka (Rifftrax) read and review books they’re “pretty sure they’re going to hate”. RP1 is the first book & source of the podcast title, since it’s 372 pages. It’s like Mystery Science Theater 3000 for books and it is hilarious, I highly recommend.

    surprised how successful this was since it barely got a mention all the time it was in early access so thought it would have a relatively mild release but no the g*mers heard bear sex and everyone flooded in to buy it.

    @FuckYourselfEndless@hexbear.net avatar

    I think it’s more so that “bear sex” was just joke-worthy enough that people talked about the game that otherwise wouldn’t talk about it and news of the game spread beyond its usual corners of the internet. So more people heard of the game and I guess the openness that “bear sex” entails is pretty appealing for a CRPG.

    Commiejones,
    @Commiejones@hexbear.net avatar

    Could it be that the hard core Baldur’s Gate fans are OG/serious Gamers and have learned to not pre-order? BG 1 & 2 were released way before gaming was mainstream. Most of the casual gamers probably only care about BG3 due to hype from other gamers who would also be “Never Pre-order” folk.

    Yurt_Owl,
    @Yurt_Owl@hexbear.net avatar

    Its more that no one wanted to burn themselves out on early access before the real thing came out but actually it was the bear sex

    My wife found out BG was out. Saw it was a full release price and was kind of like, "meh I can wait". I joked about everyone playing just wanted to edit their character's genitals and she immediately put it on top of her Wishlist.

    verdigris, do gaming w Steam Deck Won’t Survive 2025 Without A Significant Upgrade. - (Original clickbait headline and not my opinion!)

    Lol this is an article about how shit optimization has been for the last several AAA game releases. Even quite capable desktops often have performance issues with the mentioned games, because the PC ports weren’t optimized enough and/or tested on a wide enough range of hardware. It’s a real shame, many of them don’t even look significantly better than the last generation or two. It’s just graphical bloat as devs get lazier and lazier the beefier the GPUs get.

    themakara,

    I agree, however I think the main cause is studios/publishers just deciding where to allocate the time. Devs are just the ones implementing these shitty decisions.

    newthrowaway20, do games w Insiders Say PlayStation’s Live Service Pivot May Not Be Going Well

    It is baffling why Sony thinks studios who are known for their single player story driven games will all the sudden be rock stars at GAAS model games. No matter how it turns out, you’ve already got a dedicated fan base for these companies expecting a single player story driven game. These types of gamers have no interest whatsoever in micro transaction riddled online experiences. And by diverting developers away from single player content towards GAAS content, they’ll make worse single player games and half hearted multiplayer online games.

    Argongas, do gaming w Here Are Some ‘Starfield’ City Maps, Since The Game Doesn’t Have Any

    It is a little mystifying that they continue to be so bad at maps across so many games.

    Staark,

    They're just bad at UI in general. Every one of their RPGs end up with a UI mod that makes their terrible menus not only useable, but infinitely better than the crap they made.

    cnnrduncan,

    Yeah I’m already running about half a dozen UI mods on Starfield and it makes the game a hell of a lot better!

    Which ones do you recommend?

    irongamer, (edited )
    @irongamer@beehaw.org avatar

    StarUI: www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/773

    Achievement Enabler: www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/252 (this does require an external dll, use at your own risk)

    I was mainly after a mod that would show how much of an item I have in my inventory when buying. This mod does that and more. The achievement mod just keeps achievement enabled with mods installed.

    canis_majoris,
    @canis_majoris@lemmy.ca avatar

    Skyrim needed UI mods, and to wit, still needs UI mods, despite being re-released like 15 times with limitless opportunities to improve basically anything - instead they focused on high resolution textures, which is something that the fanbase basically already makes on launch week.

    Satiric_Weasel,

    Weren’t the anniversary texture packs (or special edition, forge when they got introduced) so poorly optimized most guides reccomend against using them over moder developed ones? Been awhile since I’ve modded akyrim, could be thinking of Fallout 4.

    CordanWraith,

    if you like how those mods are opinionated. I personally hate SkyUI as it’s hideous and would take the base game anyday.

    MonkderZweite,

    Why waste time and money if the customers fix it?

    Not yet. The 3DS and Wii U sold out at launch, too, but after the diehards all got them, nobody else wanted them. The 3DS recovered after they dropped the price by $80 6 months after launch, but the Wii U never did. Maybe that won’t happen this time and we truly are fucked, but time will tell. Historically, Nintendo fucks up after they have a successful console and get cocky with the next one.

    VindictiveJudge,
    @VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world avatar

    Don’t forget that the Wii U had one of the most incompetent console marketing campaigns of all time. Just two years ago I met someone who still didn’t know it was a console and not an accessory.

    samus12345, (edited )
    @samus12345@sh.itjust.works avatar

    That’s true, but that alone doesn’t account for how just how bad it did. The idea that Nintendo consoles are always bought up by lots of people no matter what is completely untrue. One big advantage they’ve always had that they no longer do is affordability compared to the competition. What will determine whether it’s a success will ultimately be how many good exclusive games they can pump out, and their track record has been awful since the launch of the Switch. A very large chunk were Wii U ports, which worked because nobody had one, but they’re already heavily shilling Switch 1 upsells. Diehards will of course snatch them up, but with 150 million Switches out there I question how interested the masses will be in them. If Nintendo seriously ups their game and consistently puts out new good games, I imagine people will stomach the prices. But are they even capable of that any more?

    hal_5700X, do games w Report: A Marvel 6v6 Overwatch-Style Shooter Is Coming

    Too little too late. With superhero fatigue and people not liking Overwatch has much. This game is dead on arrival.

    Voroxpete,

    Counterpoint, people love Overwatch, they hate what Blizzard did to it. There’s an audience out there hungry for this exact product if someone can do it right (or, at least, about 20% less wrong than Blizzard).

    MeanEYE,
    @MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

    And yet they won’t do it right because everyone wants to make a game as a service these days and sell loot boxes and collectibles with season passes, special editions, early adopter bonuses, login bonuses and in-game currency. If it lacks even two the things I mentioned, I’d be surprised.

    Voroxpete,

    Oh, sure, there’s basically zero chance that this will actually be good. But that wasn’t my point. All I’m saying is that the idea of releasing an Overwatch style hero shooter right now isn’t inherently stupid.

    MeanEYE,
    @MeanEYE@lemmy.world avatar

    Am not the average consumer so I wouldn’t know. I do miss good strategy games, turn based and story rich RPGs, etc.
