How the mighty have fallen

the_gmg, do games w Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Announced for Next Week

I tried this for the first time over the past week or so. The driving immediately stuck out as the weakest point, so having more travel options sounds good.

I kinda wish they had just RGGed it and put everything in like a five block radius. I’m extremely early, but the city and environment just feel bad.

roguetrick,

There's a suprising density of unique locations and interactions beyond the main quests. Try walking around in the city and you'll see.

the_gmg,

Yeah I’m going to keep playing, but obviously not until next week. I thought that they were done changing stuff.

Death_Equity,

I like the driving now that I understand it is more simulation than arcade. You can’t just hammer the gas all the way down because you will have no traction, unlike GTA. You have to either slow down to turn, or you have to learn to slide turns. The steering is a little hard to get used to, but tweaking the settings makes it much better.

If you think the driving sucks now, you shoulda seen how it was at launch. Half the cars would just slide around like you were on ice whenever you tried to stop. They’re at least servicable now. Which is good, since they also removed the exploit that allowed you to stack momentum while on foot by dashing while slowing down time. Still nowhere near as good as driving in GTA but better than driving in an Ubisoft open world game.

RightHandOfIkaros, do gaming w Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Falls Out of the U.S. Top 20 Games for the First Time in Six Years

Journalism is really hitting all-time lows these days, huh?

They really will make an article on anything just to get clicks and ad revenue.

signor,

??? It’s ign not cnn.

RightHandOfIkaros,

IGN, Kotaku, they’re all the same.

Stelus42,

Honestly this is a pretty big deal. Mario Kart 8 has been an absolute sales juggernaut. It’s been largely speculated that mario kart 9 has been delayed just because 8 keeps on making millions. It’s just so uncommon to see a game sell in such huge numbers for over 6 years like that, especially because the game itself is way older than that and it didn’t even get any expansions/dlc until very recently.

RightHandOfIkaros,

It was on two consoles, and was one of the earlier Switch releases. Its not surprising that it sold so many copies at all.

WarmSoda,

It’s not surprising a game from the last console has been in the top 20 until just now? 78 consecutive months it was there.

It’s not total sales. It’s sales each month.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Skyrim is still selling copies. So no, its not surprising.

WarmSoda,

Each month. Not total sales.

RightHandOfIkaros,

It is not surprising to see an older game continue to sell a lot, especially a child/family oriented game, on a child/family oriented console. A game with basically no real competition in its category.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

It is surprising every time a game sells this many copies, because it's so rare. By Wikipedia's count, only 5 other games have sold better, and for the length of time it's been on the sales chart, we can realistically only compare its success to GTA V and Minecraft.

jopepa,

You’re right, that is a really incredible run. I think their just digging their heels in and being a contrarian because they want to stand by their hot take that journalism is bad now.

criticalthreshold, do games w PlayStation Portal Is Out Today, But Fans Are Having a Hard Time Finding One - IGN

So this is like if the Switch charged you an extra $200 for the hand-held part?

This will be either hugely successful or will die an awful death and develop a PS Vita cult following.

rimjob_rainer,

There won’t be a cult because this is no standalone device you can hack or play games on without a PS5.

XTornado,

Wasn’t based on Android? I mean… Somebody could eventually run something on there not big games that’s for sure.

rimjob_rainer,

Even if it’s android, the hardware is most likely not made for running games. You can buy android devices for emulation or indie games for way less money.

XTornado,

Of course but my point was that it will probably be “hacked” by someone.

MrHandyMan, do games w Bungie CEO Claims Layoffs Were Due to Destiny 2 Underperformance - IGN

I always found it kinda sad that Destiny has a lot of lore, but if you are a new player / returning player you can’t experience the lore that you have missed because it’s just removed from the game.

Fiivemacs, do games w Sony Defends PS Plus Price Rises - IGN

I would like to welcome the many many many new PC players who will be abandoning consoles

almar_quigley,

lol, most ps owners don’t use ps plus and it’s not one of the highlights of the systems. Being able to play Spider-Man 2. Now that’s a highlight. They pump out amazing exclusives that far surpass anything from Xbox which keeps them very viable without ps plus being as competitive as gamepass is.

Brokkr,

The exclusives were how I used to justify a PS, but now that they are coming to PC after a year it makes that decision harder to justify. Particularly because they usually look better on PC and mods can be used, so as long as I can stand to wait I usually have a better experience on PC.

I’m not sure I’d buy another console.

just_change_it,

$2000 GPUs.

Cheesus,

Steam deck is a good reasonably priced alternative for people wanting to switch

BudgieMania, (edited )

The rough equivalent of the PS5 GPU (~40 CUs of RDNA2) is the RX6700 XT at ~300 dollars. Pricing has not been great but let's not exaggerate lol

Heratiki,

Wow my 5700 XT was $600 lol. God prices were garbage back in the day.

BudgieMania,

2019/2020 was a poor year from a price/longevity perspective, yeah. All of us who got a GPU around those days didn't necessarily get the best deal. I'm satisfied with what I got out of my 3060Ti but I feel that many wouldn't be.

I don't mention 2021 because, well, you know, it's not like you could even find one so

Heratiki,

Yup I still have that 5700XT and it’s perfectly capable for nearly every game I enjoy today. I haven’t seen a reason to upgrade just yet.

Rai,

I swiped a 3070ti for 400 and it wrecks the PS5 (not saying the PS5 is bad by any means!)

dan1101,

Yes you can pay that. But $300 gets you a very functional card. And you can upgrade your PC in increments.

Fiivemacs,

Or 1 year of ps plus max or whatever the hell bulkshit marketing terms they use.

brsrklf, do games w New Report Makes Disturbing Allegations Against The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Developer - IGN

Probably the least important of all these problems, but really, the publisher issuing a blanket chatGPT-generated apology, in the name of the studio without their knowledge, not even getting the name of the fucking game right.

Dude, maybe try to take your job a bit seriously?

beebarfbadger,

Why start at exactly that point though?

korinflakes, do games w Capcom President Thinks Game Prices Are 'Too Low' - IGN

I’ve never understood why people defend this mentality. Ballooning development costs? Last I checked half of the triple A games that get released spent just as much on marketing as fucking development. Not to mention Video Game revenue has been increasing year on year.

Also fuck these people because how often does this shit release with extra “monetisation” like on top of trying to make games more expensive they also throw in tons of microtransactions, loot boxes and battle passes, platform exclusive content, pre-order exclusive content etc.

mojo, do gaming w Resident Evil 4 Mobile Will Cost $60

Why are people upset about this? This is a million times better then a f2p gacha pay model. You’re getting a complete game (I assume).

rgb3x3,

Because it’s still a mobile game and there’s no way it’s a great experience trying to play it on such a small screen.

I honestly don’t understand the smartphone gaming fad because of the screen size issue. Who actually plays games like this on their phone that wouldn’t rather buy a dedicated steam deck or other device?

mojo,

That’s entirely subjective

megapenguinx,
@megapenguinx@reddthat.com avatar

It isn’t just a mobile game, you get the Mac and iPad versions as well so you effectively just get the game on Apple’s platform.

Gabadabs, do games w Capcom President Thinks Game Prices Are 'Too Low' - IGN
@Gabadabs@kbin.social avatar

The problem that they're not considering is that if they raise the prices, more people are going to be priced out of buying the games, and will resort to piracy. The cost of living is absurd right now, and I can only afford a handful of $60 games a year.

UxyIVrljPeRl,

Why resort to piracy, just wait for next years 75% discount. It even comes with all the bugfixes.

Alkatane,

Cyberpunk:

Gabadabs,
@Gabadabs@kbin.social avatar

I'm not going to argue the ethics of piracy, because the point is that a lot of people will do it if they otherwise cannot afford to buy games. Also, some games just never really go down in price, especially if you're talking nintendo. To this day Breath of the Wild is still $60 if bought new or digitally.

natryamar,

Are games just buggy at launch so pirates don’t have a good experience

JoShmoe, do games w How Four Friends Built a ‘Hypercube’ to Play Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Together in 2023

They did it using only the power of four friends combined.

Strobelt,

The rarest of powers. It is said that it is something only achievable by the youngs that were not yet corrupted by the world. And still it is a challenge to wield this power more than once or twice as an adult.

JoShmoe,

It must be pure. I was hoping someone would respond with a human-centipede joke.
