Why did they name a game after a secret society at Yale?

Should have picked something original.

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

I would like to welcome the many many many new PC players who will be abandoning consoles

almar_quigley,

lol, most ps owners don’t use ps plus and it’s not one of the highlights of the systems. Being able to play Spider-Man 2. Now that’s a highlight. They pump out amazing exclusives that far surpass anything from Xbox which keeps them very viable without ps plus being as competitive as gamepass is.

Brokkr,

The exclusives were how I used to justify a PS, but now that they are coming to PC after a year it makes that decision harder to justify. Particularly because they usually look better on PC and mods can be used, so as long as I can stand to wait I usually have a better experience on PC.

I’m not sure I’d buy another console.

just_change_it,

$2000 GPUs.

Cheesus,

Steam deck is a good reasonably priced alternative for people wanting to switch

BudgieMania, (edited )

The rough equivalent of the PS5 GPU (~40 CUs of RDNA2) is the RX6700 XT at ~300 dollars. Pricing has not been great but let's not exaggerate lol

Heratiki,

Wow my 5700 XT was $600 lol. God prices were garbage back in the day.

BudgieMania,

2019/2020 was a poor year from a price/longevity perspective, yeah. All of us who got a GPU around those days didn't necessarily get the best deal. I'm satisfied with what I got out of my 3060Ti but I feel that many wouldn't be.

I don't mention 2021 because, well, you know, it's not like you could even find one so

Heratiki,

Yup I still have that 5700XT and it’s perfectly capable for nearly every game I enjoy today. I haven’t seen a reason to upgrade just yet.

Rai,

I swiped a 3070ti for 400 and it wrecks the PS5 (not saying the PS5 is bad by any means!)

dan1101,

Yes you can pay that. But $300 gets you a very functional card. And you can upgrade your PC in increments.

Fiivemacs,

Or 1 year of ps plus max or whatever the hell bulkshit marketing terms they use.

Hey, weren't you fucks whining about how games get released too early and now that one's being delayed you're whining about that too?

"Gamers" are cunts.

Merlin404,

No “cunts” are cunts. Like in all fields and hobbies

simple,

Sounds like you have issues. Also, there’s a difference between games being released prematurely and a game that’s been in development for 10 years that completely missed the point of why people wanted it and looks mediocre in every way.

hiddengoat,

Sounds like you're a braindead "Gamer" cunt.

Shut the fuck up and Dorito yourself in the Mountain Dew hole so nobody has to listen to you.

If this ends up just being a Sea of Thieves ripoff, I’m gonna fucking lol

crawley,

I don’t know what else it could possibly be

slowjoe,

I couldn’t even get past the tutorial area during the beta, it was very tedious

Codilingus,

Having played in one of the first tests, it’s far from Sea of Thieves. 1 man controls the entire ship, opposed to a crew controlling 1 aspect of the ship at a time.

And it got boring very very fast.

Zoboomafoo,
@Zoboomafoo@lemmy.world avatar

I saw a little gameplay footage and it looked like just the sailing part of Black Flag, nothing else and no new features to make it more in depth.

How close am I?

Codilingus,

Actually really close, lol.

ArmoredThirteen,

Well you probably played before they had the “fun and engaging gameplay” dlc ready

casstr, do games w Skull and Bones Has Yet Another New Release Window
@casstr@lemmy.ml avatar

The rumour I’ve heard is that they got a massive grant to develop this game from an Asian government (thinking Singapore but not sure) and if they scrap it, they have to pay it all back possibly with fines, so they’re desperately trying to avoid cancelling it. No idea if this is true though.

MeekerThanBeaker,

“You’ve clearly never been to Singapore.”

It’s amazing they haven’t just released some crap and called it a game.

Railcar8095,

It can still happen to be honest.

echo64, do games w Capcom Reveals It's Working on a Next-Gen RE Engine Codenamed REX - IGN

I know everyone loves RE Engine for how performant it is, whilst still looking pretty good. But that’s mostly because it’s based on technologies designed for 2014 hardware, we’re really just reaping the rewards that come from Capcom having a good art team that can make that 2014 tech still look pretty good on modern stuff.

stephfinitely,

While I agree the art team has knocked it out of the park. The engine is really well optimize and because of that it has been able to keep up with graphics this mean years later.

Katana314,

Given the unremarkable difference in appearance I’ve seen on the “ultra modern” Unreal Engine 5 demos, I’m all for it. We can’t get the new generation right yet, let’s stay on the old where we can manage a consistent framerate.

Maybe I missed it; where is the banned game Uniracers/Unirally on the list?

Game was amazing for its time.

Perroboc,

The article seems to have missed a lot of games from their DMA era. The Wikipedia article is more complete than the IGN one.

Kolanaki,

Why would Uniracers be banned? 🤔

Uglyhead,
@Uglyhead@lemmy.world avatar

It got pulled after DMA got sued for copyright infringement on the design and personalities of the unicycles in the game. The only place you could find a copy was at game rental places.

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

Huh… I must have gotten my copy before that happened. And lol at the reason. Who the hell held the copyright to the 'cycles personalities? From what I remember, they were all the same anyway, just different colored.

Edit: Oh shit, it was Pixar. And reading the case, and the evidence, it was a bullshit suit and the judge was an idiot. 🤦‍♂️

Katana314, do games w Final Fantasy 14 Shows Off New Viper Class Alongside Final Fantasy 11 and 16 Crossovers - IGN

Hoping for fun times, but I guess I’m a little worried that the story for this expansion might lose appeal without a good conflict.

It’s very possible to make a well-written, region-localized storyline with lowered stakes than “potential end of all life”, I’m just uncertain how well they’ll do that given what the Warrior of Light has been through.

Bimbus, do games w Final Fantasy 14 Shows Off New Viper Class Alongside Final Fantasy 11 and 16 Crossovers - IGN

So glad Yoshi-P was able to get Yoshi-P on board with the 16 crossover.

Kit, do games w Final Fantasy 14 Shows Off New Viper Class Alongside Final Fantasy 11 and 16 Crossovers - IGN

Cool, I might renew my sub to check out the FFXI content. I still play XI daily so I’d be curious to see what kind of lore they explore in the crossover.

jemikwa,

Fyi we won’t get the first wing of the XI ally raid until 7.1 (3ish months after 7.0, so September/October/November 2024) and even then it will only be one third of the total story. Totally fine if you still sub, but you might not get much value out of it until 7.3 with the second wing some time in 2025

Yet another DPS. And then a caster after this… Why can’t we have some more tanks and healers?

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah that’s a bit confusing, too. And sure, Endwalker brought a Healer and Shadowbringers brought a Tank, but they both also brought DPS, and now it’s a DPS only expansion making queues worse again. They need to do 1-2 expansions of only adding a tank and a healer.

Zulu, (edited )

If you’re looking for the real logic behind it, its because the majority of the player base is dps. Every expac has to have a dps as a new class. Otherwise the majority of the player base wont have a new class to play for an expac.

Last expac was healer/dps, one before that tank/dps, and before that dps x2. Its cyclical. So we were “due” for another double dps expac. Obviously the devs and director are free to make whatever decision they want, but this is the logic yoshi/the devs have talked about on their quarterly chats. (To my understanding)

Edit: If you’re looking for sympathy though, yeah i feel it. I always want more tanks. Warrior has always been my favorite and none of the other tanks have tickled my fancy since.

RIPandTERROR,
@RIPandTERROR@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Frankly, gunbreaker should have been a melee casting dps, and samurai should have been a tank. I’ll die on this fucking hill.

Zulu,

I just want classes with big two handers. All of them being tanks sucks. Sam/drg are just a skinny 2h with big muscles. Drk dps rotation lets me sort of live my fantasy though i suppose

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

DPS are always coddled in MMOs. Unfortunately FFXIV is no different.

FullFridge, do games w Final Fantasy 14 Shows Off New Viper Class Alongside Final Fantasy 11 and 16 Crossovers - IGN

Man, I want to get back into this game but just don’t have enough free time anymore… Glad I finished Endwalker though. At least that’s given me a bit of closure

@Cybersteel@lemmy.ml avatar

Just wait for another 10 years like I did.
