Blackmist, do games w 12 Years and $700 Million Later, What's Going on With Star Citizen's Development?

12 years of early access. Thousand dollar DLC spaceships. Remaining players “happy”.

This is as close to a cult as you will find in gaming.

They aren’t listening to their community is what. I play almost daily, and all they fucking talk about is ‘wait for 4.0, it’s going to be so much better!’ But they refuse to fix major problems, performance sucks, and the recent 3.24.2 patch may or may not have borked the game in many ways.

They need to perfect the game that already exists, fix the issues and iron out the code before working on more fucking mechanics. I swear it’s so bad. The article calls Chris a perfectionist, but that couldn’t be furtfrom the truth, he is a dreamer, that says put this amazing thing in then forgets about it and moves on to the next thing overnight. The game will go nowhere until he’s gone.

Edit: fixed a spelling error and added some basic formatting.

Denjin,

Bug fixes don’t bring in new whales with investment money, new silly features does.

The point ceased to be about making the game years ago and became about attracting new money because that’s easy and making good games is hard.

dax,

The interesting part is, if they say the game is complete or at least in “1.0” shape, it will suddenly mean that people will judge it as a product and not just a vision. CIG won’t call it finished as long as they possibly can.

Maalus,

The game was supposed to be finished 6 years ago. 12 years in development for what we have now is a joke

PunchingWood, do games w Ubisoft Says That XDefiant Has Fallen Behind Expectations

Didn’t help that the game got next to no promotion. I don’t even remember how I found out about the game, I think it might’ve been a random game one of my Twitch follows was streaming at the time, wasn’t even a promoted stream for all I know.

The game’s alright, just not the type for me anymore.

Just when the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima was announced - I don’t think it’s a coincidence: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z7kqwuf0a8

simple,

I don’t think they’re related but it is a hilarious turn of events for ubisoft

Fubarberry, do games w The Humble Games Situation Gets Messier With Claims Of Lies And Damage Control

They still have a good bundle from time to time, but it’s a far cry from the bundles of old.

MrScottyTay,

The OG numbered bundles were so damn good

SquigglyEmpire,

I think this news only affects Humble Games but not Humble Bundle, confusingly they are separate but semi-related businesses these days.

To be honest with you, my reply was supposed to be to the comment saying that humble has gotten worse overall since IGN bought them. Didn’t realize my mistake until now.

SquigglyEmpire,

Ah understood!

RightHandOfIkaros, do gaming w Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake Is Dead - Insider Gaming

Disappointing, but considering the initial people revealed to be working on the game, it would have been 100% butchered.

We’ve won, but at what cost?

At the cost of making people write their own successful stories, rather then riding on the popularity of an old franchise to sell it's brand.

Don't get me wrong, I would have absolutely played a KoToR with BG3 graphics.

But I would also settle for a new star wars story with BG3 graphics.

Lord_Logjam, do games w Microsoft Plans to Close The Activision Blizzard Acquisition Next Week, Says Report

I am very intrigued to see how many games will immediately appear on Gamepass.

Z3k3,

Diablo 4 🤣

dudewitbow,

Imo microsoft is trying to pump gamepass sub numbers and supposedly its not enough (despite the size). I think they will consider merging the World of Warcraft sub to gamepass to boost sub count for the investors.

Etterra, do games w Starfield is Bethesda's Least Buggiest Game to Date, Say Sources

That’s not much of a brag. Just because the monsters in this game won’t mysteriously fly off into space only to reappear right behind you seconds later, doesn’t mean we should celebrate.

pgx,

no, no, no

you see this is a space game, they are supposed to fly off into space in this one

FEATURE

Trihilis,

It’s not a brag, period. Not having a buttload of bugs should be the bare minimum every game should strive for. It’s like saying “we sell the least rotten food in town”.

Its pretty sad that we’ve gone from “most epic adventure” and “largest open world you’ve seen” to “least buggiest game”

Nonetheless, I’ve enjoyed most Bethesda games and I have gamepass on pc and will definitely try the game.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

I mean even Skyrim ran pretty nice, till you started playing it long enough to start finding the bugs and jank. Of course, it helped that it had all the familiar jank from the previous games.

nyctre, do games w Escape from Tarkov's Duck-Themed Competitor Sold 200,000+ Copies in 24 Hours

The steam page says they’ve sold 500k copies now. Jesus. Game looks good and it’s PvE, so… might get it, I guess

Because Embark knows how to make fun ass games. This and The Finals are just both an absolute blast to play with some friends.

EveningPancakes,

Its sad to see the brand being diluted to fund Microsoft’s AI initiatives

RightHandOfIkaros, (edited ) do games w Obsidian Temporarily Removes Games From Sale Due to Unity Exploit

I dont expect this to last very long, considering how easy and fast it is to apply the patch. Completely delisting the games feels a little bit excessive.

Also, some of these games aren’t even effected by this, such as Avowed being an Unreal 5 game and Grounded being an Unreal 4 game. The only two games effected by this are Pillars of Eternity (depending on which version of Unity they used to create the current build, seeing as build 1.0 most certainly used an uneffected Unity version from 2015), PoE II, and Pentiment.

ElectroLisa,

Grounded 2 uses Unity for their artwork browser and soundtrack player, despite the game being on Unreal

zerofk,

From what I heard, they delisted only the premium editions of Avowed because some part of those use Unity. It looks like the same is true for the other games. Even for Pillars they only delisted the definitive edition.
