BmeBenji, do gaming w Super Mario 64 Footage Seemingly Shows Off a Multiplayer Mode With Luigi For the First Time - IGN

I only played the NDS version of this game which definitely included Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario as playable characters. And a multiplayer mode where each character was Yoshi and could put on hats to play as Mario, Luigi, or Wario. Was any of that in the N64 version of the game?

No. DS only. N64 Mario 64 is only Mario, no multiplayer. But having grown up on the ds version as well, i would just like to say all that stuff is rad.

What!? Baldur’s Gate 3 didn’t win. Who saw that one coming?

echoplex21, do games w The Game Awards Winner Speeches We Didn't Get to Hear - IGN

Yeah it was pretty sad. They should either separate out the reveals from the awards. Or just make the event longer. I totally get why they’ll do reveals though. It makes the event more exciting and more eyes on the stream, but they should give the developers their due.

Who does?

Grangle1,

The “timeline” was a big debate in the Zelda fandom/community for a long time until the Hyrule Historia book introduced an “official timeline” that featured a split three-way timeline centered around Ocarina of Time as the source of the split. That was released after Skyward Sword. Breath of the Wild had some discussion about where it fits but wasn’t really seen as too big a deal, then Tears of the Kingdom all but straight up ignored the “timeline” and introduced a new “canon” founding of the Kingdom of Hyrule, which while I’ve long stopped paying attention to the fandom, I could imagine the timeline debate starting all over again. TLDR: some people take video game lore really seriously.

Zahille7,

All you need to do to figure that out is spend literally any amount of time in an Elder Scrolls forum

@victron@programming.dev avatar

I’m late 30s. Never played a TES game before. I just started Skyrim last night (it’s awesome, btw). I don’t plan to come close to that fandom ever lol

Zahille7,

There’s some good discussion that can come out of it.

But the usual stuff is weird political shitposting, and actual heated political arguments as if any of it really matters.

wildginger,

Ive always found it odd that people having fun trying to establish a games lore is “taking it too seriously.”

God forbid someone have fun the way you dont, I guess?

Grangle1,

Oh, nothing wrong with it. Just pointing out that people put a lot of time and effort into it.

@victron@programming.dev avatar

As a proud owner of that wonderful book, I get it. But people need to chill; trying to stick to a chronology, an IP almost 40 years old, seriously? That shit would prevent the series to reinvent itself. I think it’s for the best if we all forget about that. It was nice for a while, tho.

Yeah, layoffs will do that for you. It’s not the best way of increasing employee morale.

    How they implemented it it is you can’t get a strong item if you pick-up the item box while being stopped (like as it respawns with no forward speed), by going in reverse or picking up the same one multiple times.

    Back of the napkin math says they more than broke even on their $80M investment into the game post-launch. I enjoyed the game at launch (which I know wasn't necessarily the norm), and I largely enjoyed the expansion. Unfortunately, this is what I have to scratch my FPS campaign itch these days, but it's still a pretty good one of those combined with a pretty good RPG. It would especially be nice to see them up the ante on the RPG aspects, because next to Baldur's Gate 3 this year, you don't get anywhere near the same sense of freedom and creativity.

    I also enjoyed the game on release, I had very few bugs and the ones I did encounter I was able to work around in various ways. The most memorable one was a bug where killing the enemies would prevent the next objective from being scannable, preventing it from continuing and completion. Everything else was pretty minimal and I was able to 100% the game. Post game I spent modding which I also got a lot of enjoyment out of a little over 200 hours total in the game.

    Haven't been able to get to Phantom Liberty yet, and I haven't started a new playthrough for the update be has I'm attached to my save (which is silly lol). I'll get to it.

    I feel you on the lack of compelling FPS games these days though. Like Dishonored, but with guns!

    I’d rather wait for a game and get a great experience, than beg for a rushed game that needs 2 years of updates until it is playable.

    @thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

    Another true IGN moment. 8/10? Man this thing looks ugly. And it can only stream your local Playstation 5 on the local network, otherwise it's useless. Battery life is a joke for a streaming only device. Does not have Bluetooth. And the price is expensive for what it does. Yet IGN praises this. Imagine Microsoft did the same thing for XBox. I really don't want to come off as a Console War guy (I'm a PC Gamer), but imagine that for a moment. And no, I do not hate Sony, I just hate this device.

    TwilightVulpine,

    I don't think this is a console war thing. I just think IGN is a sellout rag that rates games however game companies tell them to. Their ratings are consistently unexplainable by anyone with sense.

    EvaUnit02,
    @EvaUnit02@kbin.social avatar

    Just to be clear, it can stream your PS5 remotely. It doesn't only work across your LAN.

    thingsiplay, (edited )
    @thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

    But I think it does not support streaming over the internet. Its only limited to the same network you are with your PS5. Or am I wrong? Edit: Apparently I can't read. At least it is possible to stream your PS5 to other wifi networks.

    EvaUnit02,
    @EvaUnit02@kbin.social avatar

    My apologies. You seem to be absolutely correct. It seemingly does not work outside of your LAN.

    thingsiplay,
    @thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

    Thanks for confirmation. One can't even stream the online streaming games with the PS Plus subscription. Its really only about the local games you have... I'm totally baffled.

    Gh05t,

    This is from the article:

    “This was the turning point for me, where I went from “well this is kind of neat,” to “this is actually rad.” There I was, playing FF7R from the PS5 in my house in a cafe across town and it was nearly indistinguishable from the experience at home. Again, that’s something that can certainly be done on your phone or tablet (and those are able to get past that login screen) but none of them feels as good to hold and play on as the Portal.”

    It does play via remote wifi but only games from your local ps5.

    thingsiplay,
    @thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

    Hmm, okay. So I got most of the stuff correct then (no internet streaming), but didn't got the part it would stream on other wifi networks. I skipped parts of the review, because I didn't expect that functionality would have changed. Shame on me and this should be a lesson! So then that went from useless (in my opinion) to useful at times.

    But the PS5 has to run for that, right? Can you remote control to run and sleep the PS5?

    Gh05t,

    So the remote play functionality from before remains intact. So once paired with the PS5 the device can remotely turn the device on or the device is always listening for the connection.

    This is a dedicated device for that though. If you read my initial post I’m not a fan of the device and even less of the manner by which IGN reviewed it. They’re looking at it in a complete vacuum and comparing it to a device that basically already failed (The Backbone).

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

    Still had a running PS plus sub but its time to cancel. Got sick of ads and unremovable apps on my PS4 which continued to get worse over time. PS5 is the first PlayStation I will not own because of the increased monetization and ads. Give me a console that plays games and media and does nothing else or fuck off. My PC doesn’t have these issues because I’m in control.
