JakobFel, do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version
@JakobFel@retrolemmy.com avatar

And this is exactly why Ubisoft is dying. Good riddance.

ms_lane,

Yep, couldn’t happen to a nicer publisher :)

Eat shit Guillemot.

BroBot9000, do games w Ken Levine says BioShock nearly went nowhere and was almost canceled: "We can't make those games because they don't sell"
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

We can’t make art because of capitalism. Fucking sad.

They don’t sell because no fucking company wants to market a product that they can’t milk every fucking cent from. They aren’t producing anything of value, only subscriptions, game passes and addictive gambling loot boxes.

Games as a service is a scam. Stop preordering the latest AAA wank and support indie devs.

More standalone experiences that are unique and creative instead of factory produced sludge.

morphballganon,

There are still good AAA games. The trick is to wait for reviews with gameplay videos and only buy the good ones.

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, buy them two years later once the bugs have been finally patched and the DRM is ripped out and gameplay doesn’t stutter anymore.

Or just 🏴‍☠️ AAA and give that money to indie devs that are actually trying to produce a unique and creative experience.

HawlSera,

Bro, most of the games I’ve been playing are ports of older titles, Indie Games, or straight up non-profit fan games (Dr. Robotnik’s Ring Racers is the kart game of the ever btw)

xavier666,

I only buy games which are 5 years or older at this point.

HawlSera,

Valid, gotta know which games won’t run on FOMO and if it’s going to be a case like Overwatch where it starts out as a good game and quickly devolves.

Mango,

Try space station 14!

Nima, do games w Soulja Boy is selling video game consoles again, and he's already being accused of ripping off an existing handheld: "He does not have permission to rebrand our products and sell them as his own"
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

while its hilarious that he is trying this again, that website not only popped a text box that opened my keyboard automatically and then did another pop up after that.

gross. I’m getting sick of it.

Agent_Karyo,

Apologies, I don't get any of this with Firefox for Android + UBO. It's just a regular site.

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

maybe its that voyager is opening the link in its own browser? perhaps I need to tinker with settings.

thank you <3

Agent_Karyo,

I am using the Piefed mobile web view (Voyager also sends me to Firefox for Android).

I don't have any exotic lists in UBO. Just the major ones for English and some regional ones for languages that I speak.

CosmoNova, do games w Ex-PlayStation boss says the games industry is "littered" with Fortnite clones and "people trying to do Overwatch with different skins," but keep dreaming if you're just trying to get "big sacks of money"

Someone introduce this person to indie games. It will shatter their world.

ms_lane,

No please don’t, it’s better these executives stay well away.

muhyb,

It’s hilarious that we live in different worlds. I have no idea what are those Fortnite or Overwatch copies. I have no interest in hero-shooters or battle-royale genres too.

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

RememberTheApollo_, do gaming w Popular Female Skyrim Modder Has Abandoned Her Work Due to Daily Harrassment
@RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world avatar

IMO the vast majority of people that use community mods are pretty thankful and just enjoy them despite any issues the mod has so long as overall it works well. They just play and keep their mouths shut.

There are a few that offer real and constructive criticism.

And the rest are the vocal trolls that just hate on everything. Unfortunately if they aren’t “fucking your mother last night” on whatever game chat you might be on they’re busy trashing on the “unplayable” game they’ve spent 500 hours playing in the last several months or on the forums berating the modders’ efforts. They’re just hateful people and hating on women in general is par for the course, if one dares participating in gaming they’re just another target for their shitty incel behavior.

obbeel,

I think the gaming community being made of socially awkward, isolated and unemployed people doesn’t help the scenario. But I think there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Smoogs,

If you’re assumed to be a male, the trolls attack you if you don’t carry them. Fine, move on.

If they find out you’re female, they attack you just for existing. You can move on but It is relentless.

There is a difference in gaming experience when it comes to trolls.

RememberTheApollo_,
@RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world avatar

I wasn’t debating that at all.

Smoogs,

Maybe not in your opinion but using an IMO for reductivism/dousing down a topic isn’t exactly an empathetic ally move.

SteefLem, do games w EA flop Immortals of Aveum reportedly cost around $125 million, former dev says "a AAA single-player shooter in today's market was a truly awful idea"
@SteefLem@lemmy.world avatar

Is this a single player shooter? I thought it was multi player? And theres nothing wrong with single player shooters “in todays market” look at jedi fallen order great game and singlr player. But a shit game is a shit game single or multi.

Hyperreality,

It's worse than shit, it's mediocre.

At least people talk about shit games, which means some people buy a copy just because they're curious.

Mediocre stuff? No one's interested.

maxenmajs, do gaming w GTA 6 and Alan Wake parent companies are locked in a trademark dispute over the letter ‘R’
@maxenmajs@lemmy.world avatar

Bullshit lawsuit. The two R logos are quite distinctive. Rockstar has their iconic star and Remedy’s R is whatever it is.

Chailles, do games w More than Skyrim or Fallout, Todd Howard says Starfield was "intentionally made to be played for a long time" and Bethesda's looking 5+ years ahead

We can just wait for the mod that recreates Skyrim in Starfield.

“Walked right into that UC ambush, same as us and that thief over there.”

“That’s Solomon Freestar! The true High King of Skyrim!”

And the dragons are just space ships and the souls you absorb are just… uh… radiation I guess from damaging the reactor. Or the magic space civilization from Starfield originated from here, so that’s why everyone has magic.

I’m not backing down from the space ship dragons though, that part is just brilliant.

sorrybookbroke,

“Spaceships are dragons” Buddy we all know you’re just trying to make an excuse for your vore mod.

“No, no, you need a warm and soft fleshy interior which you have to enter through the mouth, how else would you have dragon spaceships”

We all know how this goes

It’s just a coincidence the airlock happen to be teeth shaped. A teeth pattern ensures none of the air escapes.

sarsaparilyptus, do gaming w THOSE GAMES is a pitch-perfect parody of "those games"

This is not the Katamari Damacy people, it’s the people who ported Katamari Damacy Reroll.

SCmSTR, do games w "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"

I’m sorry, but I still can’t help but laugh about the anti-woke Asterion flat-butt mod, and now in my head I just see all anti-woke gamers as jealous flat-butters.

dumbass, do games w Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version
@dumbass@leminal.space avatar

Hey Ubisoft, you can’t complain when I pirate your stupid games, because there’s nothing to own apparently.

Hafty, do games w Pokemon Legends Z-A's visuals aren't "great" say former Nintendo marketing leads, but hope Switch 2 could allow Game Freak to "go back to the drawing board"

How can Breath of the Wild which was originally a Wii U release looks so much more refined and artistically appealing while running better than anything Gamefreak has made in the last 8 years?

Starayo,

Game freak still has no clue about doing 3D.

Besides BotW, compare the xenoblade games to 3d pokemon. Game freak just cannot make optimal use of the hardware that’s there.

dinckelman,

In comparison to XC2 or 3, the recent pokemon games look like an insult, and a bad joke. I’m still mindblown by that Nintendo greenlit those releases, given how specific they are with other first-party game designs

KingRandomGuy,

IIRC BOTW was built on MonolithSoft’s engine (the devs behind Xenoblade) so in fairness, those games are more-so the same exception rather than the rule. That said, even without the comparison, GameFreak clearly did not properly optimize the Pokemon games on switch, with stuff like loading the whole map’s ocean at any given time.

blackjam_alex,

Why would Game Freak improve their games if they keep selling like hot cakes?

It’s that simple.

Ledericas,

also mr masuda said he was tired of pokemon in general, and will make this slop, this was all the way back sword and shield, when he shocked everyone about the half the dex being left out.

missingno,
@missingno@fedia.io avatar

Zelda also sells like hotcakes, and yet they still put effort into that one.

rand_alpha19, do gaming w Publishers are absolutely terrified "preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes," so the US copyright office has struck down a major effort for game preservation

I'm waiting for when the US votes to get rid of libraries because it's hurting profits. This is an insane reason not to let people play games you can't even buy anymore.

big_duck_energy, do games w BioWare vet says Mass Effect and Dragon Age got "too homogenous," wishes Dragon Age had been more "Neverwinter-like"
@big_duck_energy@partizle.com avatar

I absolutely loved Dragon Age: Inquisition, don’t hate me.

Custoslibera,

Origins was amazing DAII was serviceable Varric did a lot of heavy lifting. DA:Inquisition I played 10 minutes of and dropped it.

I played all games in succession after buying on steam too.

TheyKeepOnRising,

Calling DA2 serviceable is probably some of the highest praise it’s received. The game is steaming dookie. It took out every single thing that made Origins a masterpiece and gave us a dialogue wheel and an entire game made of 5 copy+pasted rooms. Also a nonsensical main plot with no real player agency and the most forgettable ending of all.

DAI is mid af but it looks like a God damn masterpiece next to DA2.

kaitco,

Don’t feel bad, man. I’m one of the 6 folks who enjoyed DA2.

stopthatgirl7,
!deleted7120 avatar

I’m also one of that small number. It’s actually my favorite in the series.

Mass Effect 2 is also my least favorite in the series, so I know I’m in the minority for both franchises.

DragonTypeWyvern,

If they hadn’t reused the maps it’d been remembered as one of the greats.

I also thought the balance on Nightmare or whatever was an atrocious mix of ubertank enemies and getting one-shot by rogues but the actual story and companions were fantastic.

stopthatgirl7,
!deleted7120 avatar

I can only imagine how good DA2 would have been if BioWare had been given more than a year and a half to make it.

Murais,
@Murais@lemmy.one avatar

I guess that makes me number 3?

The ending was a bit silly, but the Qunari storyline was fucking incredible.

stopthatgirl7,
!deleted7120 avatar

When I found out that fight with Orsino had been mandated by higher ups who demanded another boss fight be added, it explained so much.

Kahlenar,

What exactly do you mean by that? Like, he could have indeed been a well meaning mage just trying to live under templar thumbs? Instead of also being exactly the smoking gun?

stopthatgirl7,
!deleted7120 avatar

The Orsino fight doesn’t make much sense if you side with the mages - there was no reason for him to go Akira monster when he did. Even BioWare acknowledged how little sense it made, in a conversation you can have with Varric in Inquisition.

chuckleslord,

Listen, it might’ve looked cheap as fuck, but I found a certain charm in the “every dungeon interior is just one of three dungeons with different parts blocked off”. Plus the combat flowed really well. I played that whole game through like… 5 times. One right after the other.

kaitco,

If you play it after coming off Mass Effect 1, the “every colony bunker or mine is one of three options” regardless of the planet just becomes part of that Old BioWare’s aesthetic.

Norgur,

Great ideas, cool combat system, great art style and graphics, ruined by writing that was somehow chaotic and utterly predictable at the same time and stupid ass kill ten rats/fetch 10 letters filler quests.

OscarRobin,

The combat got pretty repetitive imo. Though that wasn’t helped by just how many times you had to do the same fights against rifts/tears etc

GreenMario,

Didn’t finish but liked it a lot more than most people.

Hyggyldy,

Well I wasn’t planning on hating you but due to my compulsive contrarianism we are now bitter enemies. See you in Hell and have a nice day!
