audaxdreik, do games w Ex-Bungie Developers Create TeamLFG, A New PlayStation Studio - Game Informer
@audaxdreik@pawb.social avatar

After stating its studio would be based in Bellevue, Washington, the statement explains that the “LFG” in the studio’s name stands for “looking for group,” a common internet acronym for people searching for people to play games with.

“Our first game is a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games.”

Studio named LFG and cites MOBAs as an inspiration. More MP only, GaaS stuff.

Eyro_Elloyn,

I know it’s not likely, but I hope they make good MP only stuff. I like my friends and sharing new experiences with them.

Idk wtf happened, but the stars aligned and really talented people all somehow grouped up and made a masterpiece.

Natural next step, given the riveting narrative of the games. Truly a masterpiece in story telling.

Real talk though, you haven’t lived until you played Minecraft in VR and looked an enderman in the eye. It hits on another level when it’s literal eye contact, like looking at the wrong guy on the bus and getting murdered for it.

Support an amazing “single-A” game that suffers none of the issues of modern enshittification by purchasing a physical copy.

OR

Refuse to hand any money to the mega corporation that shut down the studio responsible for the gem that is Hi-Fi Rush.

sweats nervously

mynachmadarch,

Option 3: pull up a list of the developers and venmo them each 10¢ then go pirate the game?

I'm only half kidding.

dan1101, do games w Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account

What does a PSN account involve? Just an email and password, maybe a handle/nickname?

I assume it needs no credit card or payment.

If all that is true a PSN account is annoying but doesn’t seem so bad.

MrScottyTay,

People nowadays hate having more than one account. They can’t even bare having more than one exe that launches other exes installed on the same computer anymore

RightHandOfIkaros,

Needing to run a programm just to launch a different program is stupid. I don’t need a middleman, just let me launch the second program directly.

MrScottyTay,

Right, so you hate steam too then?

If you do, I’m more talking about the cognitive dissonance of others that love steam just because it’s the lesser evil of the launchers, but vehemently hate the idea of buying a game on another store front.

bitfucker,

What other value does the so called other launcher provide? Modding sdk? Community forum? Family sharing? Controller remap?

MrScottyTay,

You can still do all of that stuff without owning the game via steam

Other than modding via workshop

bitfucker,

Sure, but I specifically ask other launcher. If we are talking no launcher at all then it is a different discussion entirely. If we are talking about not having a launcher, yeah, that is understandable too. But then again, many games have their own launcher and they do not add any value other than for the sake of having one/promoting the publisher

MrScottyTay,

Yeah specific single game launchers are pretty awful

dan1101,

I would definitely be annoyed but have had to create an account for other games too. Give them an email that isn’t your primary email and a unique password, I don’t see where there is any risk after that.

Remember when telemetry/data collection across the internet was often optional and pretty minor?

The more shit we absentmindedly agree to because it’s not really a big deal in the short term, the worse it gets in the long term.

If I play a game on Steam, then Playstation, EA, Ubisoft, etc should all fuck off. I already gave those companies my money, it’s insulting that that isn’t enough anymore.

Edit: great point I just saw someone else mention, the fact that Sony has allowed over 100 million users’ data to be exposed due to various breaches by bad actors over the past 15 years. At least one of those times, the data was revealed to be nowhere near as secure as it should have been.

dan1101,

If all that is required is an email address and password I could live with giving Sony a special email address and unique password, I don’t see where I have a privacy or security risk there. Annoying, but it’s a lot better than another launcher or something. ETA: It asks for birthdate, definitely don’t give them your real birthdate but give them something close. I have a standard fake that I use.

slumberlust,

They don’t care if it’s a valid email or not. All they want is a unique identifier.

dan1101,

They might verify the email. But if you’re that worried about Sony having your email you can just make a unique one for them. You don’t have to give them your primary email.

NodWod,

Pretty silly comparison.

fluckx,

I read that in some regions ( I think UK/Ireland? ) it requires a picture OD your face/ID to verify your age.

Can’t verify that though

Potatos_are_not_friends,

I remember reading a review where they said the puzzles were so incredible. They gave an example of Link shooting down a hanging ladder to proceed.

It sounds so basic today.

But I remember fantasizing about how amazing the future of gaming is.

TomAwsm,

More like “did it once”. Possibly by chance. Starfield proves that he didn’t “figure it out”.

BigBananaDealer,

they’ve rereleased skyrim more than once

TomAwsm,

I just meant that they made Skyrim once, found out that they can rerelease it ad infinitum, but were not able to reproduce this success with Starfield.

MargotRobbie, do games w Dragon Age 4's New Name Is 'Dragon Age: The Veilguard,' First Gameplay Look Next Week
@MargotRobbie@lemmy.world avatar

I hope Bioware go back to their roots and take more inspiration from DA:O and BG3 instead of DA:I and go back to more tactical and less action-y gameplay. The overwhelming success of Baldur’s Gate 3 proves there is a market for traditional CRPG, especially coming from the the studio that made the first two Baldur’s Gate.

Also, less Ubisoft/Skyrim-esquelarge empty open world and more carefully crafted maps with emphasis on choices. DA:I wasn’t a bad game, but if Bioware releases another DA:I in 2024 it will definitely be compared unfavorably to Bg3.

pm_me_anime_thighs,

I remember the leaked(?) gameplay a while ago showing how it was very action heavy clearly inspired by the God of War reboot. But then BG3 happened and I would feel really bad for the devs if they were told by management to pivot and just copy another game instead and now theyre remaking the game yet again… I honestly have no faith in the gameplay being anything near as good as Origins, but hopefully the story and world and characters can be good? Do good writers still work at Bioware anymore?

atlasraven31, do games w Atari Announces Modernized 2600 Console (Releasing Nov 17th)

I don’t know whether to be happy for a modern Atari or angry because it looks cash grabby.

geosoco,

Oh it definitely is. I mean we've had many re-releases of a 2600 including multiple Flashback consoles.

AFAIK, only one was moddable to use old catridges, but none shipped with that capability. But many came with a 20+ games and were significantly cheaper.

hactar42,

I still can’t believe they made some of the Flashbacks with IR remotes. My kids grew up in the age of the Switch. They have no idea how to keep a controller within line of sight of the console.

geosoco,

Reminds me of the videos of kids trying to figure out rotary phones.

warm, do gaming w Bungie Lays Off Over 200 Employees, Announces Plans For Deeper Integration With Sony - Game Informer

It's no surprise that Bungie were going to end up worse under Sony.

Eggyhead,

Sony was dumb for buying them when they did. Bungie was already kind of in a downward spiral and giving them all that funding just gave them a much nicer toilet for the flushing.

I bought destiny 2 and a bunch of the DLC last year to see what it was all about and it was just a confusing, miserable mess of an experience from start to finish. Well, assuming it was start to finish. I still don’t know where the start was or what the hell was going on. I felt dumb for buying it.

warm,

Yup. Sony scammed themselves really with that one.

Destiny 2 is hard to get into as a new player, they kind of deleted all the initial story, so you kind of just get thrown in at the end now. Bungie never knew what to do with that game, they changed stuff randomly and could never decide what system they wanted.

The thing is though, it's a very fun and fluid shooter, the core gameplay is some of the best out there, it just sucks the content gets repetitive and the DLCs are all overpriced.

Eggyhead,

Oh yeah the gameplay and the environments made me really want to get into it more than anything else. I just couldn’t figure out why I was doing all this stuff or why I’m supposed to care about some dead character who I never met.

warm,

Just gotta ignore the lore unless you watch videos on it. I suppose you have to make your own goal in that game, there's no set ending, you just grind until you are bored of it.

I really like the teamwork activities, raids etc. They added a really fun exotic mission which you can only duo, but the community complained you have to communicate with a partner, so probs wont get anymore of that ahaha.

I hate it when good concepts are ruined by dumb or greedy implementations.
