Digital for things you consume. Physical for things you love.

neon_nova,

Or at least a drm free installer.

I guess I’ll stock up on gog installers for games I own on Steam if Steam ever becomes the villain.

TheHobbyist,

I would encourage you to support GoG before you have to rely on them, otherwise if everyone does like you they may not be able to sustain their business.

It’s a bit akin to waiting for a crash before putting your seatbelt on.

TheGreenWizard,

If GOG benefitted Linux users as much as steam does then Yea, I’d be throwing cash at them every payday. I love GOG and what they do, but I also need to show support for what valve is doing for Linux too.

smeg,

They gave the Heroic Launcher devs an affiliate link, so while they don’t really support Linux they at least approve of it

That’s not going to mean shit when it downloads a 100GB day one patch.

KeenFlame,

It is though. That’s the entire point

I don’t get why they don’t just have like, install cards with cheaper but slower storage on them for smaller game devs or extra large games that require installation to the system first before it can run. Seems like the in-between of key cards and full speed game cards which still might be faster than downloads and also helps game preservation by having the game actually on the card. Kind of like CD ROM or floppy disc games on PC.

entwine413,

Because that would be good for the consumer. They make more money on digital only, you don’t actually own the product, and you can’t resell it.

It’s a corporation’s wet dream.

The best way to handle it would be to keep the core game files on a physical card that loads into RAM, and download the assets to the local drive.

The game-key cards can actually be borrowed or resold, it just doesn't have the game itself on it.

jmcs,

Until Nintendo says they can’t.

AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor,

It’s even worse. All the people who defend the physical editions do it because when servers close, they can still play the game. A game key card is just a glorified digital release. When the servers close, you’ll have a piece of plastic.

This is partly the case for any game that receives significant updates as well. Your disc/cart contains 1.0, but is that the version you will want to play 50 years from now when you can't download updates anymore?

I mean… Cyberpunk needs to be on a physical card. Otherwise how would you slot it into your neck?

Virtue signaling isn’t going to get them anywhere if it’s not a polished experience.

Edit: Not saying it isn’t a polished experience though. I’m watching this with interest.

But… the physical copy of CP2077 on launch for PC was just a box with some merch telling us to go download it from GOG.

Ajzak,

to be fair you then put that installer on an usb and it’s physical. I’d rather a DRM free digital game in a box than the code with DRM

And here’s an opinion by a game publisher NOT invested in getting haggled by a monopolist.

callouscomic, do games w Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered

Yes, it appears to be true; according to numerous posts all over Reddit and Twitter, you can see

Wow. Article based on social media posts. Didn’t even try it themselves. Garbage.

Eyck_of_denesle,

This is just a game. I have been seeing so many serious, life and death related news articles with their source being a tweet. This industry is cooked.

TurboHarbinger, do games w Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered

Just like you can see cyrodiil from skyrim.

But sure, let’s make an stupid article about it.

SkyezOpen,

If we can generate content with Ai I’m sure we can generate views too. Just an endless ouroboros of Ai generating and viewing it’s own shit to milk ad money.

@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yes. You could already do that in the OG Oblivion. The regions of Tamriel were already mapped out.

In Skyrim you also have the chance to spot the Imperial capital. It exists as a low poly model in-game.

Good job, reporter! You’ve done your work to signal boost an AAA game for corporate profits without managing to actually add any new information!

Games “Journalism” 2025!

ms_lane, (edited )

I think even better is the multitude of sites that have just copy/pasted the wikia ‘Oblivion Console Commands’ page as ‘new content’ for Oblivion Remastered - but quite a few of the listed commands don’t work on Remastered.

I know they copied the wikia page and not the UESP page too as only UESP mentions you occasionally need to wrap refid’s in quotes for Oblivion. (if you’re using a refid as the first part of a command ie. “abc123”.moveto player) which you’ll need to know as PRID is dead.

edit: bat doesn’t work either! This is a travesty! Won’t someone rid me of these turbulent quest items!

Yeah I mean they straight ripped it off lol

CosmoNova,

It’s also inspired by „the wanderer“ painting that has been referenced a million times without most people even realizing that yes, someone did that first.

FooBarrington,

Do you mean “Wanderer above the sea of fog”?

The greenery makes it hard for me to see that. I really love Elden Rings take on that painting:

Call me when you can actually move between regions.

@stephen@lemmy.today avatar

Can you move between them in Elder Scrolls Online? I’ve never played myself, but it would be cool to walk between the locations.

rogermiraki,

I’ve only ever played it for short spans of time, but Im pretty sure you can. I don’t know how seemless it is.

Maestro,

You can do that since 2015 when the Imperial City was added to The Elder Scrolls Online

spooky2092,

Unfortunately, that would require me to play an MMO, so that’s out.

BlameTheAntifa,

That game is called Arena. It was the first Elder Scrolls game.

Eggyhead,

Daggerfall as well, right?

SwiggitySwole,

Technically, though Arena was all of Tamriel and Daggerfall was High Rock, northern Hammerfell and the disputed territory of Orsinium

slazer2au, do games w Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered

You can see the mountain range that borders 2 countries? Stop the fucking presses.

vxx, do games w Well played, Todd: You can see Skyrim, or at least its tallest mountain, from the edge of Oblivion Remastered

The first good thing I read about the polished version of the game. The bar is really low with Bethesda

MrFinnbean,

Im confused? I have heard mostly positive things about the game.

vxx, (edited )

I read it’s badly optimised and even monster PCs cant run it smoothly. It crashes a lot. It’s 55€… for a remaster, not even a remake.

At least you can see a Mountain of skyrim.

Even steam reviews from the first day fans are only around 80% positive, which says a lot for the early stage (KCD2 is at 94%, oblivion GOTY is 95%), and most complain about Performance issues and that they cant get more than 60fps

It’s a hard pass for me and feels like a money grab.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

That’s Unreal Engine 5 for you. Expect anything made with UE5 to be this way.

vxx,

Sure, blame the engine.

Why would they even pick it up as their choice of they dont expect better results? Maybe because it’s the least effort, the cheapest solution? I’m just speculating here, but when I expect UE5 to always suck, it wouldn’t be my choice if I had quality in mind.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

You’ll expect it to always suck because you’re the consumer. UE has, since UE4, put itself in the position of being the number 1 go-to engine everyone thinks about when doing amazing visuals as easily and cheaply as possible. Even indie devs instantly think about Unreal when thinking about good looking graphics.

So yes, I blame the engine for making itself a cheap, lazy way of making great looking graphics, because it’s even effecting how GPU’s are being developed.

vxx, (edited )

No, you were the one that told me that it always sucks, it has nothing to do with my expectations.

I expect a good company to know and work with good tools, not cheap ones.

It starts with handyman and shouldnt stop at game development.

If I hire a company and they come with dirty tools known to be bad, I send them home and hire someone that knows and values their work.

If youre a one man company I don’t care as much as if you were one of the biggest out there pretending to be the best.

Blaming the company that created the tool is not the way, it’s the professionals that use it.

Tattorack,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

I expect a good company to know and work with good tools, not cheap ones.

Then you’re incredibly naive and haven’t paid attention to the gaming industry these days.

vxx, (edited )

And that’s why there’s only garbage coming out these days from the big studios, yes.

Why do you use that to defend them? What do you gain from defending the greedy?

The game drops to 20fps on a 4070 btw, and you’re here pretending it has to be like that because a lot of studios put the least effort they think they can get away with.

How do you explain that modders will be fixing a lot of the issues, like they always have to do with Bethesda games? Wouldn’t that be impossible if it’s the engines fault?

Why have you submitted to mediocracy? Why do you accept it and even go as far to defend it?

No wonder they think they can get away with it, because apparently they can with people like you making excuses for the.
