pete_the_cat, (edited ) do games w CD Projekt Spent Roughly $125 Million Turning Cyberpunk 2077 Around Post-Launch

They did a pretty good job fixing it up… but it also took like 4-5 years. Some things I’m like “it took at least 5 years for you to think of implementing this??”

Edit: 5 years meaning it should have been added during the initial development.

100,

5 years? Mon frere it came out December of 2020.

pete_the_cat,

5 years meaning “from the start of development”. A lot of these things should have been there from the beginning.

Probably could have spent less if it was given more time to bake, glad they invested it though 2.0 really brought the game closer to where it needed to be. Still not what was promised back in 2018, but it’s playable and enjoyable enough now.

krigo666, do games w Counter-Strike 2 Players Express Disappointment as Many of CS:GO's Key Features Disappear

Actually this maybe should have been named Counter-Strike 3. 1 was the original based on HL1, 2 is the Source version, and this should be 3. CS:GO is a variant of Source version with different gaming modes. I wonder if a GO version of this new CS will appear.

I do miss the FireArms mod of CS1.

IIRC the only reason it's called CS2 is because it's on the Source 2 engine

Valve can’t release things with 3 in the name.

ZeroMmX,

My head cannon goes like this:

2000- Counter-Strike

2003- Counter-Strike 1.6

2004- Counter-Strike: Condition Zero (1.7)

2004- Counter-Strike Source (1.8)

2012- Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (1.9)

2023- Counter-Strike 2(.0)

iegod,

Needs a little action quake origin entry.

Some prices are crazy in my opinion.

I generally buy 2 year old games except in some cases.

And in the consoles they are even more expensive. Game price could be higher than on PC and then you also need to pay an expensive subscription (because they charge you for a lot more things than just the multiplayer costs) to be allowed to play in multiplayer.

The player base is also bigger than before. While that needs more post sales support and more infrastructure it is nothing compared to the game.

I think in short the problem here is just the wrong forecasting when planning the game.

Baldur’s Gate 3 made 350 million dollars within a month after launch.

Good games make their money back without question. Game prices are actually too expensive.

Well that’s a surprise for sure.

Not too worried for the future of Platinum Games though, he was credited as supervising director lately, while others directed, so it’s not like he’s the only creator there.

Holy shit, finally. One of my favorite games of all time, and with NSO online I can actually play the multiplayer over the internet. I never had friends with this game way back when.

For anyone wondering, it's basically a Kirby Metroidvania with 4 player support even with AI, you can all independently explore the world and use phone battery power ups to summon each other to your location if you're far apart and want to link up. Awesome game.

BrowseMan, (edited ) do games w Modder Behind Oblivion Fan Remake Vows to See It Through Whether Bethesda Releases a Remaster or Not

Why do a remake of the worst ES? Lazyness?

Bethesda, do a (good!) rework of morrowind, you cowards!

I mean… why do a remake of something good, when you can remake something not good, but make it good this time?

Shurimal,

At least Oblivion, unlike Skyrim, had actual classes (let's not talk about the leveling system, shall we?) and spell making. Plus some really, really good questlines (including the main quest, and the whole Shivering Isles expansion was rad AF). The cities also felt larger than in Skyrim and the Arcane University was an actual university, not a random village school with 3 students. Role-play wise Skyrim was the weakest of the three modern ES games.

OctopusKurwa,

Oblivion is pure comfort food to me. Sure it’s a broken mess to the point where it’s best not level up, but it just has this serene vibe to it.

chunkystyles,

A few years ago I replayed Oblivion for the first time since it came out. I played a pure spellcaster with no weapons or armor and it was a goddamn blast.

I would just sprint and jump around like a moron while invisible and ignore most threats. Threats I had to deal with got vaporized.

So much fun.

Delete your account.

LoafyLemon,

That's a little extreme, here at the fediverse we should strive to do better than reddit, so instead of asking them to delete their account, ask them to defederate. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It can’t be remaked for many reasons. The best they can do is fund OpenMW or give up their assets. Actually making anything from it is not only rebuilding it, but solving many ways Morrowind is fucking broken.

And I love it for how disfunctional it is.

woelkchen, 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.
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t understand why IGN submits to this. IGN is an American outlet, so the Fair Use policy of the DMCA applies to them.

conciselyverbose,

It has nothing to do with DMCA. It's not copyright infringement.

It's violating an NDA on an unreleased product, and even if they can't actually get damages, the day they do it they never get a review code from anyone ever again.

@ThunderingJerboa@kbin.social avatar

Yeah like if IGN doesn't follow their rules. Welp no Witcher 4/whatever its called review copy when that comes around. Even though IGN sucks its probably better to have more voices than less in the review space. Playing these stupid games set out the publishers is the only way to play since I doubt there will be any solidarity done for IGN.

Hell I'm scheezed out by so many games doing this whole "preorder for early access" and getting around reviews. Look at Payday 3, it has done it and there are basically no critic reviews on it. Not sure if its due to an embargo or they literally didn't even send out review copies, which isn't a great look.
