morphballganon, do games w Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma Doesn't Really Care About the Series' Chronology

A creator could see chronology as a limitation, or an opportunity.

The hero of time clearly did a lot in the time between MM and TP (where he appears as the Hero’s Shade). There’s an opportunity to create a game about the hero of time after MM, where he returns to Hyrule, and learns those special skills that he later passes on to the hero of twilight.

Or just come up with something new. Whatever.

spriteblood, do games w Baldur’s Gate 3 Patch 5 Adds New Playable Epilogue With 3,589 Lines of Extra Dialogue, Much More

Did they ever release the updated FSR patch they were aiming to release a while ago? I love content updates like this, but FSR is the main thing I'm hoping to see next.

Defaced,

Pretty sure fsr 2.1 is in the game now as of the last big update.

They should have just delayed the game until early next year, at least they are working on it fast though I guess.

Bro you’re on crack, I have 150 hours in the game with zero crashes, this is all just extreme detail. Have you even played

verysoft,

Yeah I got 300 hours and the game starts to fall apart in act 2 and shits the bed in act 3, bugs and loads of inconsistencies. I have never crashed either. The fact they are not just fixing bugs but adding to the story shows that there was a lot missing and the amount of QoL features that should have existed from the start is insane. Their scope was a bit too big imo and they should have kept it a shorter but more polished game.
It's a shame because the start of the game was fantastic. Like I said though, they are working through it which is good, but doesn't change the fact I bought an early access game that wasn't labelled as such.

I_Comment_On_EVERYTHING,

I’m always curious about these crashes and bugs people are talking about.

I’m on my fourth complete playthrough with just short of 700 hours played and have not had any crashes that weren’t my own fault. I used the unlimited carry weight mod on a playthrough. Turns out if you select the throw option when you have 1000 items in your inventory the game doesn’t like that.

Other than that my experience has had no gameplay issues or bugs. The only complaint I’ve had is some characters don’t have any dialogue referencing things that occurred in the game that they absolutely SHOULD have something to say about. Sounds like this patch might just fix that issue.

verysoft,

I wish I had the same luck. I have done a few play throughs (not all the way mind you) with friends and we encountered the some of the same bugs and new bugs each time. Some may be very easy to overlook and I imagine this is what a lot of people who 'dont experience any bugs' do subconciously. (You can check the patch notes for a list of bugs they have fixed and over the 5 patches, its a lot. So your curiousity can be quenched there I guess.)

However, when I enjoy a game, every little problem will stand out to me and when its stuff that exists almost everytime, then I wonder if Larian even played their own game (which funnily enough is a running joke between us since DOS2).

I beat the game on PC about a month ago

Blackmist,

I can only assume that you never touched co-op, or started playing in the last week, because that absolutely was not the launch experience for me and many others.

It is much better now, but it’s clear it was rushed out with a few months of development still to go. Which allegedly they did because they were worried about Starfield.

Even broken it’s probably the GOTY, but it did make certain things a lot more frustrating than they should have been and we spent a lot of time doing saves and waiting for the save to finish before continuing such was the prevalence of crashes to PS5 desktop. There was more than one fight we had to do from scratch because the following cutscene shat the bed.

vanya913,

Having played co-op on launch week, I didn’t really see many problems. There was a glitch here or there in act 3, but much less than anyone could expect from a game of this size. I never had to reload any saves, and the game never crashed. The only obvious glitches were certain events happening out of order or not happening when they were supposed to. Apart from that, certain class abilities and features didn’t always work correctly, but every cRPG ever released has had those, and has them to this day.

A bigger open world just means less interesting things to do. This is how I’ve seen Starfield described.

How long you think it will take before we start seeing people posting pictures with the controller broken off, that doesn’t look very sturdy when you’re raging at someone.

luthis, do gaming w PlayStation Portal Review - IGN

"…so it’s not like you can play it on the go (there’s no version with a cellular connection) or without also owning a PlayStation 5. There is literally nothing else it can do. That seems like a bit of a bummer given the $200 price tag – I’d have liked to be able to watch Netflix or YouTube on the Portal, but all media functions are disabled on Sony Remote Play. The PlayStation Portal will only play games and let you navigate the PS5’s menus, so without a PS5 at the ready, the Portal is a paperweight. "

TwilightVulpine,

They try to say that the screen is bigger, but at that point they could just play on a TV, since they need to be with their PS5 at home.

Also mystifying that they say a tablet with a bigger screen would be inconvenient because you couldn't play it on the bus. You can't play this thing on the bus either.

Still doesn’t feel like Nintendo to make a direct successor to a console. But it wouldn’t be Nintendo if they don’t add some cool idea to it instead of a straight forward spec bump.

Xariphon, do games w Is Destiny 2 Still Worth Playing in 2023? - IGN

I'm torn, even now.

I was super hyped for Lightfall. And then it sucked. A lot. The writing was awful, the gameplay changes were worse, you've all heard it all before.

I want to like it. I used to, during Beyond Light. Witch Queen was kind of awesome.

I'll probably play Final Shape just to see how this storyline ends, but I'm more skeptical than hyped now.

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

Guess I’ll downgrade to basic, I haven’t really found premium to be worth it anyway.

I’m also buying an xbox soon, so maybe I’ll just switch altogether. Well done PS, you may have lost a customer of nearly 20 years.

jaycifer, do games w Skull and Bones Has Yet Another New Release Window

This is not a delay. They are updating the window from "Early 2023-24," which the article states is likely anytime this past year to the end of their fiscal year at the end of March to... "Q4 2023-24" which ends at the end of March. So there's no real change to when it could release by (yet).

Triple moves seem like a good addition. I kind of wish there was more new content like new areas and things like that.

XbSuper,

I’m happy they stuck close to the original. I wouldn’t be interested if they added a bunch of new areas. The triple combo seems interesting, but even that is a bit off-putting for me. I really do just want the old game with better graphics.

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

Not much reason to replace my current one, but many reasons to pick up OG console covers now if they’re going to be phased out in November.

thejml,

They literally just announced three more cover colors, (got the announcement email yesterday), I doubt they’ll phase them out that quickly. Even if they decide to go fast, I’d think they at least be smart enough to wait until after the holidays.

freebread,

Saw that but these won’t work on the new model so I doubt they make more. Unless of course they’re for the revision but I don’t know how that’d work with the new design.

I’m flashing back to Xbox 360 faceplates.

smeg,

Would you normally replace a perfectly functional console with a smaller but otherwise identical machine? Do what you want with your own cash but that’s a very decadent purchase!

freebread,

Exactly- though I did trade up my OG PS2 for a slim back in the day. The OG had served its time (~5 years) and was ready to go.

I’m still not gonna buy it though.

Teotwawki, do games w CD Projekt Doesn't Regret Making Cyberpunk 2077 First-Person, but Has Yet to Decide on Cyberpunk 2

I’ve loved the cyberpunk genre since its inception, and loved Witcher 3, but skipped this game because I don’t like vomiting. Some of us just can’t play FPS games without terrible nausea, especially when they have a field of view that can’t be zoomed out very far.

PoetSII, do games w CD Projekt Doesn't Regret Making Cyberpunk 2077 First-Person, but Has Yet to Decide on Cyberpunk 2

I think it really worked to pull the player in and immerse them into conversations and show off the insane facial animation tech that is JALI, but yeah an option would be nice.
