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

Damn too bad they didn’t fix any of the issues that were giving it a 56% rating on steam.

TrousersMcPants,

They did tho? Not being able to make a new save was one of those issues

echo64,

Op is just doing the outrage culture thing that has taken over lemmy, basically won’t be happy unless they remove every single micro transaction (that you 100% don’t need and isn’t the intended experience)

TrousersMcPants,

Nah it’s everywhere, Lemmy is not special in that regard. Gaming culture in general has a large amount of people who just hate shit, regardless of whether it deserves it or not. Just ask anyone who plays an MMORPG

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.

“Any bugs we’re gonna have to fix after release?”

“Well, the New Game feature doesn’t work”

“But people can still look at the menu, right?”

“I mean yeah except for New Game the menu’s all there”

“Go ahead and ship it then”

Vodulas, do gaming w Hollow Knight: Silksong Got an Xbox Store Page on April Fools Day and Fans Don't Know How to Feel - IGN

Seriously fuck this day. The innocent pranks are so outweighed by the sheer bullshit, and anything announced can’t be taken seriously.

TwilightVulpine,

It's funny when your buddies pull mild pranks but I definitely don't like how much companies have adopted it. I could do without all the false announcements.

It's only fun when they do ridiculous stuff for real, like SEGA releasing The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog.

Vodulas,

For sure. I am even OK when it is incredibly obvious (the Satisfactory one yesterday was funny) but there are so many piss takes that if a real one is announced you might not ever know. But this Silksong thing is just mean if false, and complete obliviousness if true. That game is so hotly anticipated that you should not mess around

The entire ‘article’ consists of screenshots of twitter and reddit posts. Jeez.

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.

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

I thought Notch was employee #1 of Mojang.

IWantToFuckSpez,

Notch was the founder and owner of Mojang. When they talk about “employee #x” they mean employees after the founders even if the founders are on the payroll.

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.

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.

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.

Maestro,
@Maestro@kbin.social avatar

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.

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.

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?

“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.
