Einhornyordle, do games w Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes

I guess the most hated man on the internet had a point when he called Randy out for having shitty takes

AngryCommieKender,

Who is the most hated man on the internet? I thought that was me.

Is that someone from Mad Men? I don’t watch much TV.

NotKyloRen,

Yes. It’s a clip from the show/meme where the other guy in the elevator says, “I feel sorry for you”. Then the guy in the picture above says, “I don’t even think about you.”

AngryCommieKender,

Ahh, fair enough. I’m guessing that was a response to my joke

NotKyloRen,

I think it was just as much of a joke-y response. Kind of like saying, “who the hell are you, anyway?”

Seems like the kind of guy I’d want in charge of my company. “Don’t buy my stuff” is some next level 4D marketing.

paraphrand,

He probally knows only a certain percentage of his audience will ever hear about this.

Randy has inspired me to purchase the game and immediately refund it. Thanks Randy!

    Not adding a nonbinary does not make him a transphobe. Not every game, movie or story need a trans sexual character. It’s fair to ask for an addition in a “roleplaying” game (which it is here to be fair), but its not fair to call someone transphobe if he or she does not do it.

    etchinghillside,

    I had just finished reading a Steam thread on why a game didn’t have a female option.

    If I ever create a game I’m making the protagonist a slug or alien or something.

    Marshezezz,

    You should probably include a source of him being a transphobe if you are going to put that out there

  • Marshezezz,

    Going straight to “you’re a transphobe” undermines the actual fight when real transphobia occurs and fucks it up for people who are seriously being harmed by actual transphobia. You aren’t helping anything with that. Considering the mechanics of the game, I could see where adding the option could take a lot of work. Maybe it does maybe it doesn’t, but that doesn’t equate to transphobia, you’re just being an asshole.

    TehPers,

    There are mods to do this.

    Would it be nice in the base game? Sure, but it’s not there, and speculating that he’s a transphobe because of that seems like a hell of a conclusion to make.

    Edit: I should add that the game via its special dialogue tokens, but not in the UI. This shows at least some level of support explicitly added by CA.

    Well… Pointing that out after calling CA a transophobe for no good reason is certainly a choice…

    The Haunted Chocolatier tease is that it’ll have farming.

    Mora,

    Would be funny if Haunted Chocolatier just became a stardew valley DLC.

    thingsiplay,

    Why not a separate update cross reference update between both games? I can imagine something Haunted Chocolatier related content (not the entire game) to be added into Stardew Valley that acts as a sort of “advertisement”, to get people familiar with the new IP. Or not. Just an idea.

    Wisens,
    @Wisens@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    As much ad that would be cool, I want ConcernedApe to make it its own game. I don’t know how much net income he made from SDV, but he DESERVES another payday with HC.

    Also, he may have changed enough engine/code stuff in HC so SDV and HC aren’t compatible with each other to bundle together.

    kinda smells like the same game

    AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor, do games w Battlefield 6's beta has only been running for a day, but it's already suffering from a FPS curse with cheaters breaking out the wallhacks

    But… but… the secureboot requirement and the anticheat were supposed to make the game free of cheaters!!i

    KiwiTB,

    It can help prevent various methods commonly used, but nothing can stop cheating. All you can do is minimise it.

    apprehensively_human,

    Counterpoint: you could not have TPM and secure boot requirements that needlessly alienates a large player base of Linux users.

    KiwiTB,

    That’s true. My machine doesn’t have a TPM. I understand they are trying to make things easier for their team, but I agree I’d rather have wider support.

    Ugurcan, (edited )

    Counter-counterpoint: Linux users are no users if a game is brimming with cheaters. Who the fuck plays a competitive multiplayer game full of cheaters only because it runs on Linux?

    ampersandrew,
    @ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

    Every game has cheaters. If we could run our own servers, we could decide who we play with.

    Ugurcan,

    So you’re not asking for Linux support, but custom dedicated server support?

    ampersandrew,
    @ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

    If we had private dedicated servers and the ability to play without anti-cheat, Linux support would be a non-issue. But because we don’t have that, anti-cheat is seen as a necessity, and we don’t have Linux support.

    wizzim,

    I don’t understand this point.

    Linux does support TPM and secure boot: wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot#What_is_UEFI_Secure_Bo…

    I thought the problem for Linux players was “just” the kernel anticheat ?

    Tar_alcaran,

    Let people run their own servers, allow blacklists and whitelists.

    Problem solved.

    ms_lane,

    But won’t you think of the profits!

    KiwiTB,

    That’s not going to solve cheating either, but I do prefer dedicated servers in general.

    echodot,

    It will result in cheaters getting instantly identified and banned so then it’ll be less fun for them, and they’re less likely to do it.

    KiwiTB,

    I wish it was that simple but it’s not.

    echodot,

    There’s lots they could do to minimise cheaters that they’re not doing. The main one being not sending the cheaters information in the first place.

    The wall hack cheat works because for some bizarre reason the server sends players information about the position of other players they can’t possibly see, players on the other side of the map for example, there’s no reason for the client to have that information. The cheaters cannot access information that isn’t given to them.

    KiwiTB,

    I agree that only sending absolute needed data is a great policy for stopping all sorts of cheating. I could see them skipping this step if they don’t have a way of doing it fast enough that won’t cause other issues like player pop in. That’s what it’s have to assume.

    nostalgicgamerz,

    Hopefully this beta is the feedback they need to plug these holes and block that kind of data for the full release

    KombatWombat,

    Yeah it’s not supported for my system so I can’t even launch it. But I was watching some friends stream it and it crashed for three out of four of them within two games. I don’t think any of us will be getting it after release.

    MyDarkestTimeline01, do games w Battlefield 6's beta has only been running for a day, but it's already suffering from a FPS curse with cheaters breaking out the wallhacks

    The problem with turning off cross play on Xbox is if they access through the game bar or game pass it treats it the same as the console.

    Fiivemacs,

    better to just turn the game off, refund it if you can and never buy their crap again.

    Killer,

    The beta is free

    Fiivemacs,

    still not worth it…

    Good luck getting my producer or myself to buy an $80 USD game.

    We’d rather play older ones that actually have an active community. Suckers.

    0li0li, do gaming w Leaked Battlefield 6 release date semi-confirmed in standard and Phantom Edition post, and it looks like the threat of $80 games persists

    Online-only too again? Price is not my main issue with this one if that’s still the case.

    hoshikarakitaridia,
    @hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world avatar

    Everything makes me think this one is silly

    • the price
    • the leaks
    • the development cycle
    • the way they talk about it
    • the publisher
    • the previous games

    And I’m saying this as a former battlefield fan, they’ve thoroughly run the series into the ground. It’s genuinely impressive, it’s not even lucrative anymore I don’t think.

    ganymede,

    another former fan here, could you pls expand a bit on what you’re feeling with these points and what it means? i don’t know enough about each of them to realise what you meant?

    hoshikarakitaridia,
    @hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world avatar

    These are the reasons that make me not want to consider buying the new battlefield.

    ganymede,

    thanks i got that far ;)

    but what is it about eg.

    • the way they talk about it?
    • the price?
    • the leaks?

    etc that makes you think its bad news?

    the previous games i’m 100% with you, 2042 was beyond embarrassing. the publisher, nothing need be said lol. the dev cycle i’m going to assume is suspciously fast?

    hoshikarakitaridia,
    @hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world avatar

    Well the price is $80+. GAMES with higher prices tend to do poorly a lot of the time. Additionally, this is a multiplayer game, so less people buying for the high price also means lobbies might be more on the empty side, which takes away the fun. And then there is also an argument that high prices cover a lower expectation of sales. Although this one might be my naivity about causality.

    They talk about the game in abstract terms, and in a way where the hype seems to be more important than the content of the game. Which to me is always a bad sign. If the game is good, why not talk about specifically what the must fun parts were for you?

    And even the leak itself suggests at least one person knows the price is a bad look for the content. So that person who has insight, knows it sounds bad. I will boldly infer, that that’s because it’s not worth $80. Which makes it also very probable that it’s far less than even a “moderate” $60, I can’t believe I’m saying this because that’s still an unbelievably high sum of money for a game.

    And with all these points remember, battlefield does not have the best track record, so only some of these details indicating a fishy smell will sound the alarm and make me reconsider buying. I don’t have enough trust to extend towards games published under EA, for obviously reason.

    ganymede,

    sound logic right here.

    that said the gameplay demos today weren’t terrible

    hoshikarakitaridia,
    @hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world avatar

    Yeah they did look kinda cool, but I’m staying cautious for now, especially as long as it’s $60+.

    ganymede,

    agreed, not a single chance i’m pre-ordering
