atocci, do gaming w Cities: Skylines 2 releasing with mechanics from the original game via DLC

Oh man I read this title backwards and went into that article expecting to be angry. I thought it was saying that features from the first Cities: Skylines would only be available as DLC in 2. Very happy it's the other way around.

Andjhostet,

It's very poorly worded

YuzuDrink,

Thank you for this. I had the same impression, and was starting to get annoyed; but if it comes with more features out the gate, then that’s nice!

Awkwardparticle,

I got my pitchfork out and started to sharpen it.
Cities Skylines is one of my top games, even with loads paid DLC. The modding capability and community make up for it.

This article is just awfully written.

loobkoob,

It's the second article from this site I've seen today - both posted by the same account - and they've both been horrific. The Cities: Skylines 2 one had some awful title gore, too.

Part of me wants to just block OP so I don't ever see this website again. But part of me doesn't want to because I want the news still, and I think there can be valuable discussion in the comment sections even if the article itself is awful.

No use for a game that doesn’t run on Linux

usrtrv,

Yea such a shame since the first has support. A lot of other games published by Paradox has it. Has there been any word from the devs yet?

Dubious_Fart,

Yeah, but its linux version was absolute unstable dogshit that was plagued with bugs.

Meanwhile, the windows version via proton ran 3x faster, and almost crash free (and i say almost because once you get to a certain point in modding there will always be crashes)

I’ll take a windows version via proton any day of the week, if Cities:Skylines linux version is my alternative.

usrtrv,

Hmm very different experience for me, I don’t have any problems with the native Linux version. Hardly any crashes or performance issues. I don’t use any mods so maybe that’s the reason.

Dubious_Fart,

I never even got to the modding with the native version.

NuPNuA,

Proton seems to solve that issue with the majority of titles on my deck.

They ran Assassin’s Creed into the fucking dirt. I’m not buying this shit. Who cares?

To be fair, the last ones are quite good. It’s sad to see those games with such a toxic business model.

Well there is an easy solution here... Vote with your money.

Especially since what they showed was very much not a return to the roots of the franchise that they promised.

ImaginaryFox,

That's been easy to do with Ubisoft games. Real test is when it's games you really want.

Anarki_,

It’s okay. Whales make up for those who stop and think.

sadreality,

Others people's financial decisions impact us all after all huh

Mononon, do gaming w PlayStation 5 beta firmware allows you to stream your games at 4K

I don’t really understand this. It’s like streaming PS5 games but exclusively from a PS5? If you’re internet is good enough for streaming, why wouldn’t you just download? Seems like such a niche thing. Always better to have the option than not, just seems like a strange addition.

bpmd,

Probably testing and prepping for that Q handheld thing. No way they make that for remote play only.

Mononon,

It’s running Android and they don’t have a streaming app for Android. I guess they could make an exclusive app for it, but seems like a lot of work for a super tiny audience.

Katana314,

I guess it enables quick game demos? If a mildly interesting game is 80 GB, or the devs want to let people try it before they buy it but don’t want to code a demo, there’s a few options there.

Still, you’re right, not a big use case. Xbox has an advantage due to controller simplicity. I’m pretty sure you can play Game Pass games using a DualShock, even on a web browser.

And with that, I’m looking forward to acquiring the complete edition.

I was going to say… Ubisoft draining every last cent from its dwindling user base? In other news, the sky. It’s up there and maybe scheming.

Wouldn’t it have been a surprise if it didn’t have them? The way AC was monetized in the past I’d be shocked if they switched back from that without a huge backlash

Karak, do gaming w Saints Row: The third expansion will be released on August 8

I read this really wrong and thought Saints Row: The Third was getting an expansion.

mcforest, do gaming w Baldur’s Gate 3 Classes Tier List: Unraveling the Best and Worst Adventurers

Haven't played BG3 myself that, but aren't there classes missing?

I think just artificer. A lot of subclasses are missing, but Baldur’s Gate basically just has the core players handbook content. Artificer wasn’t added until Tasha’s.

snownyte, do gaming w Quake 2 Remaster will be announced and released next week during QuakeCon 2023
@snownyte@kbin.social avatar

I'm probably some of the few that really didn't see what was so special about Quake II. I guess on a technological level, it's an improvement. But I didn't care for the change of environment and everything was leading towards another redundant aliens (if the Scrogg can even be called that) vs human army game.

I was hoping Quake 1 had gotten the RTX treatment and remaster.

@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social avatar

Huh. If it's running on a new engine, do you think John Romero could remaster Daikatana on the new engine?

twistedtxb,
@twistedtxb@lemmy.ca avatar

That would be a massive undertaking. Daikatana is almost “broken by design”. Quake II simply needs new textures and RT

shiveyarbles,

Awesome robot frogs in HD

snownyte,
@snownyte@kbin.social avatar

There's a lot more that went wrong with Daikatana than just a new engine.

The entire game was overhyped blandness. Just Romero throwing his name out there to get attention than letting the game speak for itself.
