GreenAlex, do gaming w Terraria keeps getting updates because it keeps selling

Some of the best devs out there and a win-win business model. The new content pays for itself since it just keeps bringing people in, and they feel that's plenty of income to not feel like moving to dlc.

Gorejelly, do gaming w Xbox Game Pass: renowned studio confirms 6 surprise games
@Gorejelly@kbin.social avatar

It might just be me, but I’d really like it if the posts were not just links but also included even the slightest bit of effort to them.

In case anyone else looks here, the company in question is Annapurna, and the six games are Cocoon, Flock, Bounty Star, Thirsty Suitors, To A T, and Ghost Bike.

The link has videos for all six games, as well as release dates and the other systems those games will be released on.

The author misquoted them in a strange way. Is this AI lol.

passepartout, do games w AMD will give away a copy of Starfield to those who buy Ryzen 7000

This is a bad omen for starfield imo. All the games i got with my AMD components last year (e.g. forspoken) were garbage. Maybe Bethesda is anticipating that they can’t keep up with the hype around the game which will be badly optimized or buggy at launch (like any other bethesda game) and try to save some profit.

But then again, most gamers have the worst impulse control and will even buy a steaming piece of shit if there’s a possibility to preorder it.

tehBishop, do games w Baldur's Gate, the RPG that marked a before and after in the genre

I’ve been replaying the Baldur’s Gate games lately and I still find them amazing.

I couldn’t afford them when they first came out since I was in high school so I’ve been buying all of them lately (including Planescape Torment). Next is Tyranny probably.

I’m looking for Pool of radiance Ruins of Myth Drannor but can’t seem to find it.

This article is a hot mess of spelling mistakes and poor grammar. I see where the writing was going but with all those errors it’s hard to take it seriously.

NotTheOnlyGamer, do gaming w Sega calls video games that use blockchain technology 'boring'
@NotTheOnlyGamer@kbin.social avatar

I have no problem with a blockchain used in non-monetary context. Consider, for example, a competitive RTS/TBS which recorded RNG events or keystrokes to the blockchain, which helps show if there was lag, and helps to verify that the RNG is fair, and that both players aren't cheating. Or a game with a "Speedrun" mode, recording input as blocks, and making sure it's all publicly verifiable. Think of a Doom demo file, but encompassing all attempts from all connected players; new routes can be discovered quicker and cheaters can be outed near-instantly.

Blockchain as a concept is of great value to anything where public auditing is wanted. We've associated it to scams and money, and that bugs me. Including more aggressive monetization, speculation, and a profit motive makes a game less fun. Including a publicly auditable log of past events in a game built for multiplayer feels like it would be a value-add.

TheChurn,

That doesn't need to be a distributed ledger, that can just be a database. The only use cases for DLT/Blockchains is where it is undesirable to have a central authority.

Games will always have a central authority - the devs - so there's just no point. Nothing is gained by decentralizing trust, and quite a lot - especially speed and simplicity - must be sacrificed.

He is right.

reverendsteveii, do gaming w Sega calls video games that use blockchain technology 'boring'

We’re at the stage of capitalist indoctrination where even the games we play have to generate a sellable artifact of some sort or another. The number of games I see on the app store where you pretend to buy and sell land using real money has kinda become ridiculous.

ConsciousCode,

Or better yet, games where you get monopoly money for pretending to do a job in the game

Hirom, do gaming w Sega calls video games that use blockchain technology 'boring'

Things I often find lacking in videos games: good storytelling, adjustable subtitle/UI size, immersive world with adequate pattern of life (eg background characters, random environment animations, …).

Things I don’t miss: NFTs, microtransactions, constant in-game awards/points collections.

Rodsterlings_cig, do gaming w Switch 2 would arrive in the second half of 2024 and development kits are already out

So should I buy a switch now or wait for the switch 2? A question as old as time.

@bridge_too_close@kbin.social avatar

I can't suggest which one to get since we don't know enough about Switch 2 and it's all entirely dependent on your personal situation, but I will post this:

  • There are plenty of good games to play on Switch right now
  • Switch 2, like all consoles, will take time to build a significant games offering
  • According to the article, we don't know yet if Switch 2 will be backwards compatible or not
TwilightVulpine,

@Rodsterlings_cig If the Switch 2 turns out to be backwards compatible, buying a Switch 1 now only to buy a Switch 2 later would be a waste. It's better to wait for the announcement before making that decision.

curse4444,

If you didn't buy a switch the first 6 years it was out (it came out in 2017) why the hell would you buy one now?

3rd,

Back in 2017 I wanted to get a Switch for Breath of the wild and Splatoon 2 but looking back I'm actualy quite happy I went with the xbox one S instead

@herzberd@kbin.social avatar

If you buy one they will announce a new one, if you don't they will not lol

Rodsterlings_cig,

I have the power!

inclementimmigrant, do gaming w Switch 2 would arrive in the second half of 2024 and development kits are already out

I mean nice but honestly I’m not all that excited about it right now without seeing some actual specs besides it’ll have a LCD screen an ‘larger’ internal storage.

Notwithstanding but the switch 2 will have significant competition the steam deck and its competitors along with the fact that Microsoft and Sony are releasing their first party games on PC, Nintendo’s first party exclusives just aren’t as big of a draw for me anymore.
