Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w Cult of the Lamb Developer Threatens to Delete Game on Jan 1 Amid Unity Backlash - IGN

It would be a shame if they were forced to follow through with this threat. Cult of the Lamb is a great game. I'd be curious to know if this changes their plans for their next big content update, which they'd tentatively moved to late 2023 back in August.

I’ve been using Godot for engineering simulations and I cannot recommend it enough for this one niche.

Seems like they’re always looking straight out of the screen, just looking dead at you all the time. I hate it when people do that in real life.

BruceTwarzen,

I heard a lot of complaints from people that tge camera is way too close when you talk to someone and their dead eyes look weird. And it's true, but i find it way worse that EVERYONE just stares at you. If you walk by their eyes are glued to yours. It's such a strange thing.

11/22/2004 reporting in. Just currently 18 almost 19. I do not have a short steam ID though. Can’t remember which game was the first but pretty sure it was either half-life or HL2

MarcomachtKuchen, (edited ) do games w Witcher TTRPG Going on 'Disappointing' Hiatus During The Witcher 4 Development - IGN

I get it Roleplaying games are the Hot shit, and im more them happy to welcome everyone into a great and fullfilling Hobby, but at the same time it feels like the market is saturated. In last 2 years alone ive seen the annoucement of whole RPG Systems by:

*The witcher

*dark souls

*gloomhaven

*assasins creed

*Stormlight Archive

*Candela Obscura by Critical role

And those where just the ones that reached my ear.

On the other Hand im All for more diversity in the TTRPG community, currently D&D takes way to much space for how Bad the quality of offical books is.

Blamemeta, do games w Cyberpunk 2077 Only Getting One Expansion Was a 'Technological Decision', CD Projekt Red Says

The game can only support one expansion? Wtf?

tiwenty,

You should have read the few lines of the article: it’s not a technological limit, they didn’t want to continue working on RED engine projects when they are shifting to Unreal.

There’s a Little Nightmares II?

giant_smeeg,

Yes, I still prefer 1 but it’s great. Has ray tracing too.

@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I just watched the trailer. I was travelling a lot when it was released, so I guess it just flew under my radar. I’ll have to check it out!

giant_smeeg,

I was the other way! I never heard of the first game. Then I see the trailer for number 2 and then played both.

GammaGames,

Since early 2021, looks like it has 80s on metacritic

ChronosWing,

There’s also a little nightmares mobile game which isn’t half bad either.

csolisr, do gaming w Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Accessibility Features Let You Slow Down Gameplay - IGN

Two things:

  • Interesting to see this particular addition. Handy for the players with slower reflexes, utterly useless for speedrunners (unless it messes up with physics somehow)
  • I also wonder how will achievements be managed while the accessibility turned on. Plenty of people are out there, vocally complaining about “handing out the platinum” to people “that do less effort than I did to earn it”.
jjjalljs,

Some games have separate achievements for separate difficulty levels. I can see how any approach will leave some people annoyed, though. I don’t care much about achievements (in 40 years I don’t think I’ve 100% a single game) so I don’t really have a dog in the race.

Zapp,

I hope so. As someone who will use the accessibility features, I don’t mind separate badges at alll. I don’t need the same badge as a speed-runner. I just want to play the game.

NuPNuA,

I’m not an achievement/trophy hunter personally but I can see some people’s issue there. The whole point of them is to indicate you’ve done something particular in game. If it’s just reaching a point in a story or whatever no big deal, but if it’s something that requires some skill, having it available when you can turn off the need for all those skills does undermine the system a bit.

ZycroNeXuS,

I used to be one of those people who thought that it was unfair that they were handing out the achievements for “less effort,” 'til somebody pointed out to me that it isn’t for less effort. Somebody who needs accommodations would be playing a harder game than somebody who doesn’t at default settings. Their difficulty curve is steeper. Accomodations are a way of bringing the difficulty curve more in line with what a non-disabled player would experience.

And besides - most people aren’t going to want to completely ruin the game for themselves by sucking out any semblance of difficulty. Most people are still gonna play the game in a way where they get challenged. And even if they do, who cares? That doesn’t devalue the work that you did, you know? You still put in that effort yourself, so you can still feel secure in it.

Not coming after you in particular, just talking on a couple of the general points you brought up.

I appreciate that they are continuing to improve the game. I hope they will add some new subclasses, spells, and races eventually. It would give the game some serious staying power.

RightHandOfIkaros, (edited ) do games w 'More DLC = More FPS' — Monster Hunter Wilds Players Ask Capcom for Answers After Theory Suggests a Backend DLC Check Is Tanking Performance - IGN

I haven’t ever had good performance in this games benchmark tool, even at the absolute minimum settings available. Game looks worse than a Wii game and still struggles to manage more than 20 fps in scenes with more than one monster on them screen (Frame Gen disabled, enabled is like 30fps but with the most horrendous second and a half of input lag I have ever seen).

Until it hits 60fps on my system, I am not buying it.

DebatableRaccoon, do gaming w Bobby Kotick Claims Activision, Call of Duty, and Consoles Are Doing So Poorly It Proves He Was Right to Sell Activision Blizzard to Microsoft for $69 Billion - IGN

The only right thing scum like Bobby Kotick can do is drop dead for what he had a hand in doing to the market and his crimes.

OldQWERTYbastard,

Amen. I miss old Blizzard.

IWW4,

Old Blizzard was dead long before activision bought it.

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w New Life is Strange Game Spotted, And Yes, This One Will Finally Bring Back Chloe

Every game after Before the Storm sucked. Even Before the Storm was only okay, not a good as the first game, but holy moly was every game after total garbage.

CitizenKong, do games w New Life is Strange Game Spotted, And Yes, This One Will Finally Bring Back Chloe

Double Exposure was alright, but way too short. It felt like half a game.

tatann,
