cloudless, do gaming w GameStop Boss Says Disc Drives Should Be Required On Game Consoles
@cloudless@feddit.uk avatar

Yeah keep that mindset and follow Blockbuster’s fate.

Guildo,

Besides Gamestop - I think it could be important. What if the servers shut up in the future? How do you get your purchased games?

freeman,

You download them and back them up. What happens if the disc is scratched or your buddy drops a blunt on it?

InvertedParallax,

If they’re purely digital and drmed you can’t back them up.

freeman,

I have backups of my PS4, with games downloaded from the PS store that say different.

Heck any Playstation disc games tries multiple times to get you to save it to the HDD.

The DRM is the key part of that. So the answer is DRM-free, not physical media. Especially since all games get patched these days.

Guildo,

You can’t buy all games at GOG.

@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

You can't buy all games on disc either. Also, not every game on Steam has DRM.

Your buddy buys you a new disk…

jmcs,

If it’s still being published or if a second hand copy doesn’t cost more than your buddy’s annual wage.

What fucking second hand games are you buying? Beloved classics aren't that expensive.

TwilightVulpine,

In retrospect there were some advantages to Blockbuster compared to streaming services where stuff disappears every day.

Six months ago Cohen didn’t give a flying fuck about disc drives because he was selling the idea that you would soon buy all your games from GameStop on an NFT marketplace that they recently had to shut down because the SEC is cracking down on NFTs as Securities.

He gives a fuck now because his golden goose got shot in the head.

PlainsKeeper316, do gaming w Sea Of Stars Has Huge Day-One Sales, Despite Launching On Game Pass And PS Plus

It's really fun so far. It's been my "relaxing" game inbetween playing Baldur's Gate, Armored Core and Remnant 2.

Fermiverse,

That's what do as well. While I was desperate waiting for BG3 to release, when it finally arrived I was totally overwhelmed by the game. It is really heavy weighted. The shear mass of possibilities and consequences makes it hard, at least for me, to relax without fomo.

Company that scammed players scams players, more at 7.

Honestly I don’t care, that’s a pretty reasonable price compared to the lot of the content sold for AAA games. This isn’t even noteworthy in 2024

If its a single player focused with no (or very minimal) live service bullshit then great.
If not then well there’s bunch of indie or classic boomer shooters I’ve not yet tried that are just that.

Incredible Mark Hamill Cult Classic Lands On 4K Blu-Ray This Summer

I come to Lemmy to get away from frustratingly annoying titles that intentionally miss out a key piece of information - in this case the title of the film or TV show the article is about - to trick people into loading the page, only to find is a film they’ve already seen or don’t care about or whatever.

I just ignore headlines like this now and move on, don’t give them what they want - clicks.

inkican,

Would that you contributed actual content to the community instead of only complaints about the content.

Tar_alcaran,

Fwiw, they’re right.

inkican,

Rule 3: Mutual Learning and Collaboration
The federated internet community should serve as a platform for mutual learning and collaboration among its members. Encourage individuals to share their knowledge, insights, and experiences related to science fiction. Foster a culture of curiosity and intellectual growth, where members can engage in constructive dialogues and learn from each other. By embracing diverse perspectives and promoting collaboration, the community can become a vibrant hub for science fiction enthusiasts to expand their understanding of the genre.

Pronell,

I get ya, I hadn’t even really noticed since the movie was named in the box below.

But it is frustrating, and I do tend to block communities and posters that seem like advertisements.

inkican,

I get ya, I hadn’t even really noticed since the movie was named in the box below.

Exactly. Content creators gotta eat too, so there are levels of 'please click on this so I can eat' that I'm prepared to accept in the landscape of 2024 digital information exchanges.

Midnitte, do gaming w MSI Gaming Teases Its Own Steam Deck Competitor

As great as these competitors seem to be, I can’t help but feel that SteamOS (which valve still hasn’t released) continues to be a defining feature of the Steam Deck - its… really a joy to use.

atocci,

I hope they do release it. I was looking into getting the Legion Go back when it launched but all the reviews between it and the Ally made me realize how much I rely on SteamOS-specific features.

WHYAREWEALLCAPS,

Don't have a SD and haven't really looked to hard into the experience. What are the SteamOS specific features you mention? As a gamer on Linux who is eventually looking to get a SD I'm curious.

atocci,

Game suspension in sleep mode is the big one. I don't know how, but it seems like they've perfected a way to suspend any game when the system goes to sleep and then pick right back up where you left off when you wake it again without any hitches. It works just like the Switch or any other handheld, except it's a PC and it's doing it with games that aren't made to be suspended like that.

Nice to see Rogue Legacy 2 and Theatrhythm get shoutouts. I don’t see those mentioned very often.

Meh, this probably would have been a terrible remake anyway.

Why not just do the work in secret and then release the finished game as a torrent?

1simpletailer, do games w Starfield Is Bethesda's Lowest-Rated Game On Steam
@1simpletailer@startrek.website avatar

Starfield just doesn’t look or play like a game that came out in 2023. Fallout 4 was already behind the curve for it’s time, and Starfield is basically just Fallout 4 in Space 8 years later. Rpgs have evolved in both gameplay and narrative and Bethesda just isn’t keeping up. Don’t know if it’s a skill issue or it’s corporate suits playing it safe and setting unreasonable deadlines, probably a mix of both.

Starfield may be a success financially and find a fan base for now, but it’s going to be forgotten soon by most and definitely won’t be seeing rereleases a decade later.
