Kissaki, do gaming w How Hidden Nazi Symbols Were the Tip of a Toxic Iceberg at Life Is Strange Developer Deck Nine

“It’s difficult to describe the mental and emotional toll it took to crunch when you know you’ve already been laid off.”

Absurd

Ugh, that pull quote.

Even in our press guides, we were not to say anything about Alex’s sexuality, period, at all.

Considering the response to the first game and its prequel, I don’t know who the hell SQEX Europe thought their audience was.

Well shit.

Wow I’m not even to the Nazi shit yet but I’m already hating Square London liaison and Deck Nine leadership. What a toxic situation

YungOnions, do games w How Hidden Nazi Symbols Were the Tip of a Toxic Iceberg at Life Is Strange Developer Deck Nine - IGN

Oh for fucks sake. I really enjoyed Deck Nine’s LiS work. This is extremely disappointing.

Oh so this was a company who made the sequels?

The original was great, glad to hear it wasn’t the same creators.

VaultBoyNewVegas,

You’re a bit mixed up. Don’t nod the original creators made life is strange 2. Deck nine made a prequel to the original and a new entry with a returning character in it called true colours. True colours isn’t a direct sequel and neither is 2.

“We can say that, during his time at Telltale, Zak was one of the most talented, balanced and inclusive game directors we have ever worked with, and that is evident in the games he has delivered.”

That statement doesn’t read as the defense they think it reads as.

It reads as “all of our other game directors are somehow actually worse.”

VaultBoyNewVegas,

Yeah, I read the IGN article earlier today and telltales statement actually put me off them if I’m being honest. None of the devs/publishers come out of this looking good.

Mereo, do games w Dragon’s Dogma 2 Title Update 1.050 Adds ‘Start New game’, Max 30fps Option, More

It is nice to be a patient gamer. I recently bought Cyberpunk and I’m enjoying it. I will get Dragon Dogma’s 2 when it comes out of beta.

CraigeryTheKid,

That’s what I’m doing for starfield, and even a game like BG3. Wait until it’s been a year of patches, etc.

Cethin,

I’m not saying don’t try it, because some people do like it, but I don’t think Starfield will ever be worth the time it takes to play, let alone having to pay for it too. It absolutely does not respect the player’s time, and there’s no content in it that I saw that’s worth playing. I didn’t see anything when I played, but I think I’ve seen just about everything after watching a stupid number of videos discussing the game. None of it is particularly interesting (in fact, I think most of it is fundamentally uninteresting because they weren’t willing to ask how their universe could be different from our own).

BG3 though is absolutely worth playing whenever you decide to play it. I don’t think it’s getting a DLC because Larian said they’re working on something new and unrelated now, but it’ll probably still see some patches and the price will come down, as well as more mods being available.

femtech,

I liked it for one playthrough. After the end game I couldn’t bring myself to start again.

sunbytes,

There were some great levels.

The abandoned ice prison was great.

And uhhhh… well no other ones are currently in my memory. That can’t be a bad sign, can it?

Man that zero-g casino could have been so cool. But it was just… nothing-y.

d3Xt3r,

I recently bought the OG Dragon’s Dogma for $6. There are a ton of QoL and fun mods that improve gameplay, no DRM crap, and the game performs really well overall. Zero reasons IMO to buy DD2 right now and put up with an inferior experience and Denuvo.

echodot, do games w Jump Ship Plays Like a Mix of Sea of Thieves, Left 4 Dead, and FTL

I’m a bit concerned that someone somewhere thought that a game mix that contained Sea Of Thieves actually constituted a good proposition.

Sea of thieves is a solid 4/10 and marketers over here are treating it as some kind of high standard. It makes me question their credibility.

Oh never mind it’s IGN of course they said this. They know less about gaming than my mother.

It may not be your cup of tea, but a lot of people (me included) really like SoT.

yokonzo,

Yeah this feels like a really biased take

drislands,

It’s unfortunately classic Lemmy. Every post has at least one person commenting something along the lines of “Why would anyone like this?” as opposed to, y’know, actually engaging with the content.

echodot,

Like you just did? Because going by Steam reviews my comment was justifiable

BruceTwarzen,

If i had people to play with i would probably play it a lot. My friend group was only invested in the game for like 6-10 hours during covid and imo we had a hell of a time just hanging out trying things.

sunbeam60,

It might have started a 4/10. By now, it’s touching 10/10 IMHO. But of course you have to like the kind of game it is.

CosmoNova, do games w Content Warning Blows Up on Steam With Free-to-Keep Promotion for First 24 Hours

It seems like this would break some EU and Australian consumer laws. Though I‘m not sure if „for free“ counts as a discount.

ouch,

Interesting take, but I don’t think the argument would hold water in court.

Do you remember what the specific EU regulation/directive is?

wccrawford,

Why would it be illegal to give away your game for 24 hours?

I_Has_A_Hat, do games w Jump Ship Plays Like a Mix of Sea of Thieves, Left 4 Dead, and FTL

That sounds like a bunch of promises made by someone in marketing.

Moneo,

So much “journalism” feels like advertising.

Tylerdurdon,

Ah, enlightenment. So, no pre-orders, right?

ours,

Never pre order.

serpineslair, do games w Content Warning Blows Up on Steam With Free-to-Keep Promotion for First 24 Hours

It’s basically a good knockoff of Lethal Company, made by Landfall.

MysticKetchup, do games w Jump Ship Plays Like a Mix of Sea of Thieves, Left 4 Dead, and FTL

Sounds really cool, though still very light on details. I also hope it’s playable solo since it feels so hard to get a group of 4 people together as a working adult

Thassodar,

Generally speaking if the company offers a Discord that’s a good place to meet people and group up. I did it a lot with Remnant 2.

MysticKetchup,

Haha yeah, I’m just getting to a point where I’m old and don’t want to make new accounts for things

originalfrozenbanana,

Void crew is a version of this playable today. You can definitely play solo but nothing really comes close to how easy a game like SoT is to play solo

slumlordthanatos, do games w Jump Ship Plays Like a Mix of Sea of Thieves, Left 4 Dead, and FTL

I’ve always said that the Railjack in Warframe really deserved to be its own game instead of a shoehorned game mode.

This looks like what that idea could be. Just being able to play Sea of Thieves IN SPACE!!! is a home-run of an idea.

Full screen pop up ads, site is cancer

bionicjoey,

Why are you using the internet without a condom?

glimse,

I get the experience of unprotected internet in my Lemmy app which uses Chrome for preview windows instead of Firefox. Haven’t seen ads in a decade so it’s a pretty wild contrast

Kolanaki,

Does your app have an option to open links in the default external browser (which I would assume you have Firefox as)?

glimse,

Yes it does, I can also choose Open External on specific links - which I do when I know I want to read or remember the link.

I haven’t changed the default behavior because I like keeping stuff “in” the app instead of filling my browser with tabs. I’m not saying that’s a good reason but it’s why I do it

DSkou7,

Sounds like you need a pihole.

glimse,

To add more excuses to the mix: I’m currently living with family while house hunting so I have no control over my network until I move :(

But it doesn’t bother me a ton so I’ll just live with it for now

I’d recommend DNS66 from f-droid, uses the phone’s VPN support to block ad DNS requests. It will filter ads and trackers from all apps on the phone.
