Remember that when Indiana Jones comes back with 8s and 9s.

PunchingWood,

That feels like very optimistic wishful thinking.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Does it? It’s the people who made two very highly regarded Wolfenstein games making another game like those but with Indiana Jones.

MolochAlter,

Fuck I hope not, Indiana Jones absolutely should not be a shooter.

I think it’s pretty clear what the game is from the trailers, and it looks awesome. Hopefully the temple puzzles are actual puzzles, as opposed to something like Uncharted where Drake always has the answers in his deus ex machina book.

This is going to be straight garbage. Not only will it be overstuffed with every microtransaction possible, there’s no way to balance the characters while still keeping them true to the comics. Thor vs. Mantis? Dr. Strange vs. Punisher? Maybe you can help it a bit by having some of the classes be dps/healer/tank, and constrain them somehow, but I don’t see how this would ever work.

Outside of a mobile game. If they are making it a mobile game, it will make $2 billion and be a completely unbalanced piece of shit, and everyone will love it anyways and play it for the next two years.

Just Hawkeye and Black Widow. They don’t have powers, they’re just good at their jobs. It’s already silly in they other games they appear but at least there they don’t fight each other.

Hawk,

There’s going to be some silly background story that somehow levels the playing field, I’m guessing…

intensely_human,

This is a solved problem in the comic book digital media universe: anyone with insufficient powers is given a robot suit to bring them up to par.

Batman … in a robot suit. Spider man … in a robot suit. The Punisher … in a robot suit. Tony Stark … in a robot suit.

echo64,

I’m so tired that this kind of opinion has infested lemmy discourse. Reddit wasn’t this bad.

Wait for shit to come out before getting mad at it. You don’t have to write fan fiction on how mad you are about something just so you can get your anger based serotonin fix early.

JimboDHimbo,

What’s the last NetEase game you’ve played? I’ll wait.

echo64,

Please. I’m pointing out how all you want to do is get mad about things and are in such a fervour to do so that you won’t even wait for the thing to exist to get mad about it.

You want to get mad? Fine, but don’t write fan fiction then get mad about that.

JimboDHimbo,

I’m not the original commenter with the “rage fan fiction”. I’ll answer my own question though. Naraka: Bladepoint. You ever play Naraka: Bladepoint? What about Last Light? I’ve played both, both are hot garbage and microtransaction filled. If a company has a history of putting out shoddy work, why the heck should any of us expect this new game to be any different?

intensely_human,

Why should you expect the game … at all?

How is any expectation whatsoever helpful?

There’s a predictive model you can build and run in your brain. The result of running this model will be feelings of disgust, frustration, anger.

Do you choose to run this mental program? If so, why?

echo64,

You can say the company has a history of mistakes, that’s fine. That’s not what op did and you know it.

JimboDHimbo,

Trailer dropped today. I’ll give it a chance.

intensely_human,

What’s the best dopamine rush you’ve ever gotten from hating on something? How long did it last? When you looked back on it the next day, was it a fond memory for those two minutes?

JimboDHimbo,

Well, I really hated it when someone’s intensely human matriarch from a parallel universe wouldn’t give me a snowball after. Although, the dopamine could have come from the climax and not the hating…not too sure. 😂😂

qwertyqwertyqwerty,

Reddit was definitely worse than one person’s opinion on a obvious cash grab mobile game. I’m not mad. I’m likely not the target audience for this game. If you are excited about it, be excited. Go play it. Give them your money. They will be excited too. Have fun. Spend. Enjoy.

echo64,

I’m not excited about it, I’m just not writing fan fiction so I can get more mad about it.

shani66,

You know people can look at the world around them, notice trends, and make fairly accurate predictions of the future based on them, yeah?

intensely_human,

Sure. And someone who gets worked up over these predictions is foolish.

Awesome proposal. Some indie games would suck me dry and I’d be paying 1/4 of the price for AAA releases! Is this the redistribution of wealth Marx has been talking about?

Shalaska, do gaming w ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Prepared For 100,000 Concurrent Players, They’ve Gotten 700,000

Good to hear. I always new the lie the AAA publishers push that no one wants single player rpgs anymore, but numbers like this prove it out. No AAA we aren’t skipping your games because we don’t want the stories m, we are just tired of spending $70 only to discover it is full of micro transactions, always online issues, and all the other AAA predatory tactics!

PenguinTD,

AND, didn’t actually wrapping up the story, for sequel sake.

BG3 is so huge even if it’s only the beginning arc(Larian tends to taper off at the end, lol), I had to “replay” some decision making and see how outcome and the exp net gain and to decide how I proceed.(yep I save scum, don’t hate me I have limited time and want to explore content and choices to my desire outcome. Then my other play through I can be more free form, and I bet there are something I haven’t seen yet from this good guy talk things out approach.)

It seems like the writing is leaning on being negative.

“These 2 games don’t work, even with FSR”

Okay, legitimate issue.

“This game doesn’t with without FSR”

That’s what FSR is for, and now you don’t want to use it. This isn’t an issue.

Any numbers in on how much money they lost?

MrScottyTay,

Considering what companies that make live services target for… They’ll chalk this up as a loss at the amount of All of the money in the world.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Approximately $200M, but you can get creative with accounting across multiple products, the way they phrased it.

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

Created by netease, which means it will be a piece of fucking shit flush with micro transactions designed to suck as much of your life away for as little possible effort

It’s a real shame because the premise could be awesome if done right but instead they went with the quick cash grab approach.

JadenSmith, do games w GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour

Shit like this is why I pirate.

Red_October, do games w GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour

So he’s suggesting AAA games be about $5-$10 right?

BURN, do games w GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour

If that cost goes above $1/hr I’ll probably just not buy. That’s my base cost I’ll accept for paying for a game. If I’ve gotten $1/hr I find that I’ve gotten my moneys worth

Mango,

So I should have paid about $5000 to Tencent because I played League of Legends?

Absolute dogshit. Nobody owns rights to the output of my attention span. Nobody gets to tap my wallet like it’s a tree.

Sanity_in_Moderation,

Tap. Tap. It’s not working.

Summzashi,

Who the fuck is saying otherwise?

otp,

Just because someone has some criteria that they use to judge value for money doesn’t mean that you have to follow it…

BURN,

Way to completely miss the point.

Nobody is saying that you should be paying minimum $1/hr, I’m saying that if I’m getting less playtime than equates to $1/hr I haven’t gotten my moneys worth and I don’t find that the game would be worth buying.

Mango,

Oh heck. How did I miss that this wasn’t another subscription thing like Unity? I’m hearing old adages during a weird time.

@RiikkaTheIcePrincess@pawb.social avatar

This article stinks of ignorance and bellendness. Complaining about “modern” or “new” terms is always a huge red flag to me, so now I have to wonder, for example, whether the The Bright Sword character referenced does in fact use she/her. Oh noes, the setting wouldn’t have this one word! It does, of course, have the entirety of any English dictionary other than that word, though. Just the one is icky, like all of those pronouns the woke crowd keep _shoving down our throats! But the woke crowd don’t exist in that world! The whole damn world is drastically different but this one conveniently common language is almost identical! Couldn’t have been that they say “are with” instead of “have,” noooo, it’s one coincidentally “political” word that’s gotta go. That’s the one critical difference in “a fantasy setting divorced entirely from the real world” where they’d suddenly not say things the same way we would!

Does this person give a damn at all and have a crappy take, or just feel like spewing another “omfg woke newspeak agenda” wall of whinge onto… er, Forbes. Not the place I’d look first for sensible discussion of social matters. I guess a click is a click.

Oh shit… I thought the $/hr was a good idea until you mentioned Factorio.

Any company that attacks modders can die in a fire. I for one won't be buying this crap.

Asafum,

Paradox and Bethesda/Microsoft can be first on that line.

Thanks for killing cities skylines and starfields potential over selfish bullshit… I’m not bitter, you’re bitter!

Yewb, do gaming w ‘Starfield’ Announces Nvidia DLSS Support, Food-Eating Button, Future City Maps

The no maps in the cities is crazy!

Just fix that one thing!

rgb3x3,

I can’t believe they thought shipping the game without proper local maps was a good idea.

AngryDemonoid,

I’ve only played a couple hours so far. I just thought I hadn’t figured out how to access the maps not that they didn’t exist…

Mr_Buscemi,
@Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Nah this is all we got. It was so infuriating trying to talk about this at launch.

I got constantly talked down to with stuff like “uhh yeah there is a map lol. You can see the whole universe. What more do you need?” or they would say how that shitty topographic map is all you’d need.

It was also funny seeing people say to stop complaining because it’s like morrowind now. They completely missed that morrowind had a fucking local map for the towns too.
