Smacks, do games w Ubisoft's customer values
@Smacks@lemmy.world avatar

It’s 100% moral to pirate Ubisoft games. I exclusively play Anno, since 2070 I DON’T pirate them.

I love the series, but I’d be happy if Ubisoft went belly-up tomorrow and never saw another game in the series. It’s a fair exchange to see a bloated, rotting corpse of a monster finally die.

I guess Ubisoft is gonna have to get comfortable with nobody paying for their stuff and their company going under.

The one and only Ubisoft game I’ve legitimately bought was Anno 1800, and even then I bought it from Steam. But I think that will be the last.

I think I’m perfectly comfortable with not using subscriptions.

I’ve replayed mass effect a dozen times. Cyberpunk 2077 4 times. Witcher at least 6 now. Why would I want to start renting my games over buying them?

Yeah, me too. The majority of my very limited playtime these days usually lands on Minecraft lol

CaptDust, do games w Smite 2 Announced, Alpha Playtest Coming Spring 2024

Kind of disappointed they aren’t taking the opportunity to introduce a more interesting map. Having completely flat and level lanes always felt weird to me in a full 3d environment.

MrScottyTay,

Easier for them to show the ability previews on a flat ground :p

CaptDust,

I completely understand there are gameplay considerations to the choice, but some bumps, dips and general variation would be nice

MrScottyTay,

Oh yeah absolutely. And i was now saying that the projections on the ground are probably easier to code than having to deal with the projections going on weird terrain. Basically they’re just going the easy route I think ;p

FilthyHookerSpit,

This is why I switched to Predecessor. I don’t know why smite didn’t modernism after Paragon started eating some of their base.

CaptDust,

Predecessor is awesome, just needs more traction and a larger player base. It’s very hard game to get started in because only salty vets are playing lol.

FilthyHookerSpit,

Wondering when they’re gonna market it… Probably when it goes open beta. Console is a huge chunk of the player base (I myself got started with Paragon and then smite on console) But agree, need more players. Almost every single player on right now is people who’ve been playing for a year+.

This smells like WB making the game instead of Rocksteady. Arkham made you feel like Batman. Here you have Captain Boomerang and a Shark man using guns?!

Nacktmull, do games w Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin Flops, Frontier Shares Tank Nearly 20% - IGN

I regularly find games based on WHFB to be really cool. AoS on the other hand never interested me.

pleb_maximus,

Are there many still around these days? From the top of my head I only know of Vermintide and Total War: Warhammer.
The latter was so good it is bringing back the Old World from GW!

Nacktmull,

Yes, I love TWWH exactly for that, hate that the game is split into so many DLCs though.

pleb_maximus,

Oh absolutely.
On the other hand, we’d probably have had to wait way longer for the games if they included every race from the get-go, if we would have gotten the games at all. But the day 1 DLCs? Yeah, those can go die in a fire.

Oh, and since you seem to be interested in the TT site of the Old World as well, are you reading the current article series on their community page for the new game?

Nacktmull,

There´s a new game?

pleb_maximus,

For the tabletop, yes. They anounced late 2019 that they were developing it, it is set to release at the beginning of next year. So January of February. It is very creatively called “Warhammer: The Old World” an set in Warhammers past and a mix of what they liked best throughout the past editions. Here is the article overview on their community page.

Currently they are doing an article every monday taking a glance on the upcomig rules.
You’ll be able to play with your old minis if you still have them. But they anounced earlier in the year that the base size for most minis will change to something bigger. Only thing concrete so far is that apparently every 20mm base will change to a 25mm base. (the basing article it talks a bit about Bretonnian armies before the basing)

Nacktmull,

Interesting, thank you!

pleb_maximus,

You’re welcome!

falsem,

I played the demo and got turned off by constantly saying "Orruk" instead of orc and lack of base building.

Then stop pushing the player base away with predatory profiteering tactics.

This is on leadership, not the workers. It’s a shame they have to suffer for the mistakes of a profit greedy leadership team.

Pika, do games w Sony Defends PS Plus Price Rises - IGN
@Pika@sh.itjust.works avatar

They can defend their recent PlayStation Rises all they want, it doesn’t change the fact that it cemented my decision(and I’m sure I’m not alone) to cancel their subscription in favor of Microsoft based competitors. They can say it all they want but they cannot fight the fact that game pass is just far superior in content(and even that’s expensive af now) and the only thing they really had going for them was their exclusivity single player based games and those just haven’t been there on the five. I say this as being a solid Sony fan since the PS1, I’ve gotten every one of their consoles because I preferred their controller layout and menu design(of which both are now worse), I regretted buying this generation without the choice increase in PlayStation Plus, the decision to up the pricing only drilled that mindset home.

NOT_RICK, do games w Halo Infinite Season 5: How Forge's New AI Toolkit Works - IGN
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Halo was my favorite series for a long while. Fell off of infinite quickly after beating the campaign so I should probably boot the multiplayer back up and see how it is now a couple years later.

Paradox,
@Paradox@lemdro.id avatar

Temper your expectations. It’s better than it was at launch, but it’s still fundamentally infinite.

I find it good for a few games, but any more than an hour of play and I just don’t want to play anymore. I’ll switch over to 5 or another game.

smeg, do gaming w Sony Confirms PS5 Slim for This Holiday Season

Completely trivial point, but a non-USAist I don’t think I’ll ever stop finding the phrase “the Holiday Season” weird. If you mean Christmas because you want people to buy it as a Christmas present, then just say Christmas! I guess it’s to be non-religious but I just find it funny to say “the holiday season” to mean winter when the season that everyone goes on holiday is summer.

Flip,
@Flip@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Where I live we have a bunch of small holidays in the spring. Winter only has the one big one. Spring seems more the season for them

Omegamanthethird,

In the US, there are multiple holidays people get together for. Halloween (to a lesser degree), Thanksgiving, Christmas (or Hanukkah), New Years. Extended families will often get together multiple times for these and then not see each other again until the next year. Thanksgiving really kicks off the retail season with black Friday, but there’s also a lot of time off during the winter time from school and work.

It really is a season with Christmas at the center of it. A lot of our “Christmas” songs don’t even mention Christmas. It’s just songs about winter.

smeg,

That much makes sense, but when it’s companies releasing products they hope will be bought as Christmas presents then it’s just odd to hear them skirting round the word “Christmas”. Unless you guys buy each other PS5s for new year?

blindsight,

It’s also somewhat inclusive of Lunar New Year and Diwali. More broadly, it’s a public recognition that not everyone celebrates Christmas to make it clear they’re accepting of diversity.

Maybe it’s the Canadian in me, but I don’t wish anyone a “Merry Christmas” unless maybe if I specifically know they celebrate Christmas; I almost always say “Happy Holidays!”

smeg,

Yeah it makes sense, just sounds odd. Maybe it’s because here in Britain Christmas is kind of a thing for everyone almost entirely independent of religion. Cultural differences and all that.

Omegamanthethird,

When I was a kid, it wasn’t entirely uncommon to get a big gift during a random holiday get-together.

But I think “holidays” is more of a generic retail term used to get people to buy more and feel less limited.

smeg,

I think it could also be cultural difference in the use of the word “holiday”. In Britain a holiday is what you’d call vacation, whereas our bank holidays are what you’d call public holidays. We don’t generally refer to Christmas and New Year as holidays, even though that’s when you take time off work, because you’re not “going on holiday”.

Omegamanthethird,

I had no idea. I think that pretty much explains the confusion then.

jalatani,

I think of it like there’s more than just Christmas being celebrated at the end of the year, so to include them all it’s easier to just say the holiday season

smeg,

Yeah I get it, it’s just one of those phrases that sounds weird to the non-American ear

mooseknee,

In a lot of countries (Northern Hemisphere) Summer is the holiday season, but that has never been my experience in the US. So it might not be as strange from that perspective.

!deleted6348 avatar

It is courteous to other religions by not assuming everyone is Christian, and doesn’t hurt me at all, so why not?

smeg,

As I said in another reply, yeah it makes sense, just sounds odd. Maybe it’s because here in Britain Christmas is kind of a thing for everyone almost entirely independent of religion. Cultural differences and all that.
