inclementimmigrant, rok temu do games w Xbox Next-Gen Console Confirmed, Will be 'Largest Technical Leap in a Hardware Generation'

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

Rentlar, rok temu 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.

Thats just blind guessing.

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

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).

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

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

...why would it cost less? It's $60 everywhere else.

Good freaking luck getting people to pay full price for a console game on a phone

Nefyedardu, rok temu

Obviously that's a stigma Capcom is trying to break through. Most phones/tablets these days are even more powerful than a Switch, yet people pay $60 for games on the Switch but not on phones?

WrittenWeird, rok temu (edited rok temu) do games w Five Years After Launch, Sea of Thieves Is Finally Getting a Solo Mode - IGN

Restricted to High Seas:

• Become Pirate Legend
• Earn rep and gold for Athena’s Fortune and Reaper’s Bones
• Hourglass Faction Battles
• Captain your Own Ship
• Sail as part of a Guild
• Sail as Trading Company Emissary
• Live Events

Safer Seas:

• Progress up to Level 40
• Gold and Rep at reduced rate
• Seasonal Renown at same rate
• All Tall Tales
• Commendations, achievements, cosmetics yadda yadda…

Can anyone give a rough estimate of how much game content is in Safer Seas? Either a percentage of the full game, or number of hours? Also a bit concerned about the “Captain your own ship” bit…

starman2112, rok temu (edited rok temu)

Lame. They couldn’t just go for optional PvE servers, they have to lock most of the content in PvP servers. Guess I’m still not playing it

CancerMancer, rok temu

Yeah they’re going to do the absolute bare minimum they can to bring in pve players without actually giving them what they want as if this game isn’t dead af

mordack550, rok temu

The sad thing for us is that we always wanted to have a private server, not a solo mode. I want to mess around with my friends with multiple boats. I don’t care about playing in a galleon, let me play 4 solo sloops with my friends!

glitches_brew, rok temu

Kinda surprised safe mode has commendations… Sounds like getting the gold curse just got a lot easier.

Fraylor, rok temu

The challenge was never in the pvp. It was stomaching each of the tall tales that many fucking times.

Fraylor, rok temu

I have about 600 hours in SOT so I can answer this.

So honestly that’s a TON of progression without risk, but it’ll be slow going. Emissaries allow you to increase your rewards for a particular faction (reapers, hoarders, merchants, order of souls) so you can’t get those bonuses.

You need to be a pirate legend to captian a ship, and you need three of the primary factions at level 50 to become a pirate legend. Literally no difference beyond achievements and cosmetics. Captaincy just let’s you “own” the ship that spawns in, and essentially designates a player as “leader” whereas in normal play its ad hoc on who does what. And a captained ship just has a name and extra cosmetics anyway.

Can’t earn rep for reapers which kinda sucks, but makes sense. It’s the pvp faction. But many players do pve reapers as well.

I’d say safer seas covers about 75%.

merc, rok temu

Also a bit concerned about the “Captain your own ship” bit…

My guess is they mean that if you’re doing the Safer Seas stuff, you get a standard ship and you can customize how it looks (sails, cannons, etc.) from the NPCs in the harbour but you don’t get to name the ship, and any customizations you do aren’t saved for the next time.

If you do the High Seas, you can buy a ship, name it, and unlock lots of customizations (more than standard ones) which are saved with the ship, so they’re there next time you log in and select that ship.

I don’t know about the other current major advantage of a captained ship, which is currently being able to unload all your treasure and sell it extremely quickly. Without that you need to dock, then manually run all the skulls to the skull guys, all the trade goods to the trade guys, all the treasure to the treasure guys, etc.

StunLockedYT, rok temu do gaming w IGN posts written review of Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty, but withholds video review. CDPR is, once again, not letting reviewers use their own gameplay footage before release.

@Ghostalmedia So strange. Everyone is already suspicious when it comes to the game, why add fuel to the fire?

Aria, rok temu

Probably because it’s less fuel than video would be.

Ghostalmedia, rok temu

Since that 1.6x is pretty stable and performant, I’d be shocked if this rollout was bad.

That said, given that 1.0’s monumentally terrible launch, and the press restrictions that hid performance problems, you’d think CDPR would be trying to be transparent AF this time around.

I just thought it was a fascinatingly bad marketing decision that made this an interesting review worth posting. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Right? Pre order the DLC to the game that became the poster child for “vote with your wallet or this is your future,” sure.

Is anyone surprised? I thought it was common knowledge that the S outsold the X by a pretty sizable margin?

TurnItOff_OnAgain, rok temu (edited rok temu)

The lower price, mixed with the fact that there was a very long stretch of time that you could get a series x probably contributed to that as well.

Oneeightnine, rok temu

Microsoft pushing it as the affordable next-gen console didn’t hurt. I’m not sure how that decision will play out going forward for Microsoft, but it’s been a pretty effective strategy so far.

dudewitbow, rok temu

The only mistake imo Microsoft made with the S was not giving it the same ram as the x. Puts more work on devs to optimize vram assets when vram is the cheapest way to make any game look better to a dev.

Omegamanthethird, rok temu

I know I only got it because I couldn’t get an SX and it’s my secondary console. I kinda regretted it, but it really doesn’t get a lot of use. And probably won’t until Fable comes out.

TurnItOff_OnAgain, rok temu

I’m enjoying it. I don’t have a TV that can take advantage of the X’s power, and I honestly don’t care about super high frame rate for ultra high quality graphics. Almost all the games I play are on Gamepass too, so not having a disc drive doesn’t bother me.

Plus it was given to me for free when a family member replaced it with an X.

Corkyskog, rok temu

I got a PS5 because it was either that or S in terms of availability, and at the time people only had guesses as to when the X would be available.
