kratoz29, do gaming w GameStop Cuts Jobs Amid ‘Unsustainable’ Sales Decline

As a Mexican I always loved visiting GameStop when I was in the USA, there was simply not a good replacement for GameStop here at those times, now there are some, but they barely look like a videogame store (full with merchandising and stuff), and as always Amazon MX has cheaper prices than local stores, hell even it has cheaper prices than Target or GameStop (compared when I was there last time some months ago).

I thought it said “understandable,” and I was like, “yeah.”

Computerchairgeneral, do games w Judas First Details: How Ken Levine Is Building on BioShock With 'Narrative LEGOs'

Feels like forever since I heard Ken Levine ramble on about narrative LEGOs and game design. It's an interesting concept and hopefully the game lives up to expectations. I'm still cautious that it might all end up being pre-release hype, but he certainly seems passionate about the idea and I'm certainly curious to see what narrative LEGOs actually looks like in execution.

It is absolutely absurd. There have been a lot of games that aren’t polished come out in the last half a decade that got a LOT of flack, but this one cannot be played without a connection to the servers and no one can connect to the servers. I have 15 hours logged and probably 4 of that has actually been playing. The game is by every definition LITERALLY Unplayable.

But when you are able to play it is great. I don’t think it’s fair to judge it’s gameplay from not beiyablento connect due to sever being full. It’s a valid complaint about not being able to log in. That being said, I don’t really blame the developers because there was no possible way they could have known their game would have been this big.

aStonedSanta,

I paid for a product I can’t use. That absolutely is part of my fucking review. What the fuck??

Tedrow,
@Tedrow@lemmy.world avatar

That’s what I said. It is a valid complaint but not a review of the game itself. It’s like wanting to go on a ride at Disney. Does the line suck? Yeah. But is the ride bad? Maybe it’s not worth the wait when you paid to get in. But that’s why the developers are straight up telling people to not buy the game until they can let more people play.

aStonedSanta,

I expect a wait at Disney. I don’t expect a wait for a pve game. Sorry.

Tedrow,
@Tedrow@lemmy.world avatar

Yup, totally understandable. I’m simply saying it isn’t an indictment of the game itself.

aStonedSanta,

It is an indictment of the game. I’m attempting to play the game I should be able to play and cannot. It ruins and degrades my experience and is very much a part of the game. As the game is launched.

Every new console since I’ve had the original NES is the largest technological leap…

Rentlar, do games w Ubisoft's customer values

Somewhat ironic is the pitch for IGN+ at the bottom.

Why would gamers want to be comfortable with a scheme where:

  • Ubisoft decides when you can and can’t play a game
  • Ubisoft sets the terms of the deal (i.e. how much they can extort you each month, what data collection you must agree each time you play, etc.)
  • Ubisoft determines the quality of what you get, and its variety (if it’s some gamepass-like bundle)

Howd this game get so much attention in the first place? Theres so many fraudulent mobile games flooding app stores every single day.

Well, for one, they probably used bots to garner the “Most Wishlisted Game on Steam” accolade, they also used shill accounts to counter negative reviews and press.

wildginger,

Thats just blind guessing.

People just liked the concept pitch, its not an entire smoke and mirror show.

They should have targeted EA instead

garretble, do games w Earthbound Creator Says Nintendo Considered Mother 3 Translation, But It Was Complicated
@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve always thought that they didn’t do it because they’d have to change some characters out wholesale because Americans are prudes.

Specifically, there are several men in drag in the game. And they are part of the main story, so it’d be too much work to change them.

Especially now since there are nutters trying to get books out of libraries (and often succeeding).

@kuneho@lemmy.world avatar

they should make Mario Kart open world and marry it with Need For Speed => Mario Kart Underground.

hey, Nintendo employee who use Lemmy and read this: push this up for the big bosses around you, because man, that would be a super epic game and a worthy sequel

PieMePlenty,

Also add a subplot involving an underground crime ring stealing VCR/DVD combo units.

That’s pretty nuts. I bet a lot of planning went into optimizing the time spent each week to make the most progress.

pastermil,

Sprint planning, but for FF?

Well, I think piracy is a viable option.

lieuwestra,

But what about season pass content, dlc, loot boxes and online play? You’d be missing out on all the fun content. /s
