closetfurry, do gaming w GameStop Boss Says Disc Drives Should Be Required On Game Consoles

Not often I get to say this, but I completely agree. I HATE the walled garden that is the PS store. 90 usd for FIFA? 130 usd for some random GOLD edition of a ubisoft game? No way. Let me pick those up dirt cheap two months later at a retailer who is having a sale, or from someone who has played it and is ready to sell it onwards.

I wonder why they would want that

Damage, do games w Perfect Dark Reboot Is Allegedly In Bad Shape

Problem is that every game nowadays has to have 60hours of content and it’s hard to fill it with just shooty-shoot

billiam0202,

60hours of content

That’s a weird way to spell “microtransacted live service”.

Do FPS’s even have hit location reactions anymore?

Ground Branch on PC has some of the best I’ve ever seen. NPCs will, for example, if shot in the neck, clutch their throat and dynamically transition into a ragdoll as their animations become more sloppy until they go completely limp. It’s actually kind of unsettling how brutal it is.

What’s sad is that this game is a low budget passion project made by former Rainbow Six devs (the OG R6 games), not a AAA game backed by a massive corperation.

TachyonTele,

That’s exactly what GoldenEye and Perfect Dark had in spades. The mission structure was a huge part of it too, along with the multiplayer obviously.

Is Ground Branch any good?

Honestly, most non AAA games are far better.

@bigmclargehuge@lemmy.world avatar

I personally really like it. It’s rough around the edges, but IMO it does a good job of bringing back the feel of those old R6 games. Enemy AI is really good and you can customize their skill in a pretty granular manor (cones of vision, reaction times, full auto burst lengths, and much more, rather than just Easy, Medium and Hard). There’s a handful of nice levels each with a few types of missions, really nice weapon and gear customization, very snappy and authentic gunplay.

My biggest gripe is a lack of friendly AI. However, I believe this is planned, so it’s just a matter of time. It’s still a lot of fun lone wolf or co-op

TachyonTele,

Cool, I’ll check it out. Thanks for the recommendation

thingsiplay, do gaming w Dev Behind Highly Regarded PC Game Explains Why He Raised The Price: "Go Pirate It, I Don't Care"
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

While this is not a nice, I don't understand why this is a big deal? And why anyone would pirate the game as a result of this 2 Dollars increase (which in percentage as ~33% increase sounds worse than it is). Others are doing this too, adjust the price after long period of supporting it. And for such a low price and as an indie developer, I think it's only fair. Also for anyone thinking of pirating the game out of principle, rethink it again. Game gets deals over time and at some point it was available for ~4 Euros (which should be more like 3.79 Dollars or whatever it might be).

The game in question is https://store.steampowered.com/app/1846170/Iron_Lung/ BTW. It has Very Positive reviews on Steam and is a horror themed short game. And the dev doesn't even come up with fake excuses or anything like that, it's straight honest about making more money. Which is fair to me! And before anyone accuses me, I am not affiliated with the dev or game, never purchased or received anything; it's the first time I hear about the game. Just mentioning it, because of my positive words defending the price increase. This is a rare situation where I am fine with it.

This is exactly how things should be done. If anything, him doing it this way succeeds at making me overrated interested in the game, which isn’t one I’d usually go for. Just because he’s doing it the right way.

helloharu, do games w Phil Spencer Reiterates That Xbox Is Excited About Activision-Blizzard’s Back Catalog
@helloharu@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly, there aren’t many games in their back catalogue that I’m interested in. Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Hexen and Warcraft 3 maybe, there may be more but those are the ones that come to mind. But I’m not invested in those enough to want to subscribe to Game Pass or buy an Xbox.

sturmblast, do games w Starfield Is Bethesda's Lowest-Rated Game On Steam

I think I’m one of the few people that actually really enjoyed it

shasta,

“enjoyed” past tense? I feel like that’s part of the problem. No replayability.

filcuk,

I’ve dropped it and will not go back unless I have no other chores to do.

JoeBigelow,
@JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca avatar

Happy to let you do mine while I continue enjoying the game.

Astroturfed,

Skyrim took a while, and a lot of mods to get there. That’s not really a selling point/positive for a full price AAA game though IMO.

neokabuto,

Thr devs certainly think there’s replayablity since they try to force it on you.

Dylan, do games w Starfield Is Bethesda's Lowest-Rated Game On Steam

As buggy as Fallout 4 was I absolutely loved it and got me started on the Bethesda Train. Played New Vegas and Skyrim afterwards and those were great.

Starfield almost bored me to tears. Combat and Ship building are great but everything in between is just very average at best.

And then with Cyberpunk releasing it’s 2.0 update and DLC these past week, I have almost no urge to go back to Starfield anytime soon.

brsrklf,

New Vegas uses Bethesda’s Fallout 3 engine, but it was made by Obsidian. It’s not the most representative of what Bethesda does (well, except the part where it’s very buggy, I guess. That part mostly comes with the engine).

theragu40, do games w You'll Have To Wait At Least Two Years For A Faster Steam Deck

Good. I hope it is longer than that. Fragmenting the platform will do no one any good at this stage in its life, and its performance is completely adequate for what it is.

Oh no.

Anyway.

grahamja, do gaming w GameStop Boss Says Disc Drives Should Be Required On Game Consoles

Disc drive consoles are great for people who go months with terrible or no internet. People in the military, or just about anyone who goes out to sea can get a disc mailed to them. It is nice to have physical media to play the games off of.
