50_centavos, (edited ) do games w "Games are meant to be engaging, not exhausting": Lead dev on promising Soulslike RPG says

I’m a huge fan of Souls-like games but I have no problem with a difficulty slider IF the hardest setting rewards you with exclusive achievements or access to bonus areas in the game. It would be funny if the easiest setting replaces bosses with cute animals or something. Like kill this baby deer or play on hard mode.

Also, IMO if a game is not challenging it becomes incredibly boring after a few hours. I tried playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and put it on the hardest setting and it was like mild sauce from Taco Bell. Only bonus was a tiny more XP.

KingThrillgore, do games w Deep Rock Galactic roguelike dev says innovation for innovation's sake is too expensive to survive: "We're a studio of 50 people with bills to pay"

Deep Rock Galactic is owned by Embracer Group.

Glytch,

What’s your point? What makes Embracer different than any other gaming conglomerate?

KingThrillgore,
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

Because Embracer especially has a bad case of bag chasing and layoffs right after. If Ghost Ship downsizes, don’t act surprised.

Glytch,

It would be the same if they were owned by Activision or Ubisoft or EA. That’s just the industry right now.

With the Worldstone.

MonkderZweite, do gaming w Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is"

how games are actually made

Well, not like yours anymore.

darth_helmet, do games w Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's open world is inspired by The Witcher 3 and Horizon

If the open world in rebirth is like 15, this game will be trash.

Pistcow,

Fine, we’ll do the open world like 13.

skhayfa, do games w How the Assassin's Creed Mirage logo and its celebration of Arabic calligraphy came to life

It’s written Al makhfi-المخفي the hidden one in Arabic. They should have mentioned the brilliant artist name hatem arafa @hatem_arafa The eagle he designed for the soundtrack cover is Even more amazing.

Kolanaki, 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

And yet I find myself not wanting to play it at all after only 80 hours.

hypelightfly, do xbox w This website has the interactive Starfield maps that should've been in the game

Yeah, overall I'm enjoying the game but the star map does suck.

ech,

It’s wild that between games like NMS, EVE, Elite, even Satisfactory, there are great examples of what Bethesda should’ve done, but for whatever reason didn’t. There’s so much basic stuff that’s just…missing. I can only hope it’s all eventually modded in so players can have a more complete experience.

deft,

Just like Skyrim… Bethesda needs to go tbh

ech,

Why? What would their dissolution do for the industry? Making a bad or mediocre game isn’t really that big of a deal. They can make as many games as they want, as far as I’m concerned. The bad ones can just be ignored, and any good ones can be picked up.

XTornado,

The star map? Aren’t the complains about the planets maps? I don’t see what are the issues with the star map .

hypelightfly,

For me it's the star map and the lack of local map.

The planet maps are fine.

XTornado,

Well with planet map I actually meant the local map, sorry for the confussion.

verysoft, do games w After 27,000+ Steam reviews, Overwatch 2 is graded as 'Overwhelmingly Negative'

Good, they absolutely fucking butchered the game just to sell cosmetics and heroes.

falsem, do gaming w Hades player beats unmodded 64 Heat difficulty run - "arguably unachievable in thousands of hours"

They got really lucky with that Zeus special boon at the beginning.

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

There’s only 5 different games and they don’t really do anything interesting with any of them. Hard pass

HawlSera,

Yeaaah… 10 dollars makes you think the game’s gonna be a biiiiit biggah

Phegan, do games w As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG

Bummer, but that’s gonna be a no from me, dog.

NigelFrobisher, do games w As The Outer Worlds 2 hits $80, director says "we don't set the prices for our games" and wishes "everybody could play" Obsidian's new RPG

The evolution of game design has basically been dead for a few years now, so shouldn’t the process just get cheaper?

Lemminary,

For AAA games, maybe, but not for indie. The best and most innovative games out there are not made by major studios.

mostlikelyaperson,

Obsidian hasn’t been an indie for at least 7 years now.

ms_lane,

This is a ‘AAA’ game.

Lemminary,

I meant generally about game design. I’m not talking about this game, although it looks interesting.

Fidelity and it’s consequences have been a disaster for the budget size
