Maybe if they don’t want delays they should stop firing people important to the game’s development.

Was always going to be a tough act to follow Reddicks iconic voice.

I love Keith David though, he will always be Anderson from Mass Effect (aka Shepards space poppa)

Although I delight when I hear Keith David in Mass Effect or any game, I can reach farther back in time memory: Keith David will always be this wonderful man to me:

Never really seen that movie but could only see a brief second of the thumbnail. In Scotland so we must be on some naughty list 🙃

caut_R, (edited ) do games w Stellar Blade on PC Hit 1 Million Sales 19 Times Faster Than on PlayStation 5

From what I‘ve heard it‘s a good game and unsurprisingly sex sells. I’m not paying 70 bucks for any digital game but I‘ll check out the demo for now to see what it‘s all about.

Edit: From my first impression it looks competently made and runs well. I just miss an option to turn off the vignette effect it seems to utilize and maybe an option to have the camera slightly closer to read enemy attacks more easily. I‘ll definitely keep this one in mind during sales.

newthrowaway20,

Yes, to read enemy attacks. That’s why I want a zoomed in camera too. No other reason.

It’s a worse Nier Automata in almost every way.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

I mean the combat is different. Nier Automata is a hack and slash while Stellar Blade is a Sekiro like with dodging and parrying enemy attacks as the focus.

But yeah everything else is Nier Automata but worse

Katana314,

I couldn’t stand Near A Tomato but have tons of hours in SB. I grant it has nothing amazing in terms of story, but it has enough intricacies of combat to keep it fun, even if none of those mechanics were invented here.

Nier seemed to operate off a single attack button a lot of time, and working off RPG mechanics gave so many opportunities for level disparity that didn’t serve the game at all.

HeyJoe, do games w MindsEye Becomes 2025’s Worst-Rated Game As Reviews Creep In

I just looked it up. I’m not sure how I missed this one, but i guess im not missing much. Sad because the trailer looked OK and the team behind it should have at least made an average game. I guess I’ll read up on what makes it so bad now.

Weslee,

I’ve been playing it, I’m around 60% through the story, I wouldn’t say this is the worst game of 2025, not by a long shot, maybe people were just expecting it to be a GTA clone, when it’s more like a single player linear story.

The only issue I have with it is it is all very quick paced, you get a new job and like a day later you’re gunning down hundreds of goons.

After awhile you get access to a ‘build mode’ that allows you to build stuff using provided assets in the world, eg you wanna build a house on top of a skyscraper you can.

The build mode also includes logic nodes for doing gameplay scripting.

All in all I think people enjoy feeling apart of something, and apparently everyone has decided to hate on this game because of “reasons”?

It’s performance is atrocious, it clearly needed more months to get out of alpha stage.

Weslee,

Yeah I looked at what it was like on console and it isn’t great, though it runs pretty perfectly for my pc (4070).

It even runs on the steamdeck (on lowest settings) I played it for 3 hours in bed without any issues.

Though it is no way near in alpha. I feel like alot of people have not played it and are shitting on it just because everyone else is.

@UndercoverUlrikHD@programming.dev avatar

Digital foundry did a segment on it, certain issues will occur regardless of hardware. You might be lucky and not as sensitive to stutter and frame time fluctuations, but I refuse to believe you got the game running perfectly without showing a frame time graph to back it up.

I’ve seen someone playing games at a highly inconsistent 20fps without really noticing the issued, so please excuse my skepticism when you say you got it running perfectly. I’m glad you’re happy with it though.

Weslee,

When did they do this segment? There was a memory leak issue that caused some crashes and FPS drops on the first day for me, though I’m not sure that is the same problem as console because the game would run fine for about an hour then start to lose FPS until eventually crashing. It was patched the day after, since then I’ve had no issues.

Tbh I’m honestly not really bothered about the Mindseye side, but I’m pretty excited for the Everywhere side, never really cared much for single player shooters, I just hope the bad reviews doesn’t dissuade BARB from following through with enabling Everywhere’s full feature set within Mindseye.

FunnyUsername, do games w Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Surpasses 3.3 Million Copies in 33 Days
@FunnyUsername@lemmy.world avatar

i just started streaming this game today after avoiding nearly everything about it, and WOW!! so good already! something this good only comes out once every 5 or 10 years, assuming it keeps up at the same quality of everything I’ve seen so far. I’m only 4 hours in but very impressed by basically every category you can look at a game. and the entire premise being a hyper focused allegory for mortality itself that we all face is very clever, even if very bleak. i can’t wait to see where this game goes! if you wanna watch me on the expedition, hit up www.youtube.com/www.twitch.tv/crustyoldhuman

HeyJoe,

Hey Baldur’s Gate 3 only came out 2 years ago! I know what you mean though. It’s rare when you play something that feels effortless and you want to keep playing it because it’s that good. This game definitely had that! I luckily saw the trailer last fall and fell for it then. I didn’t want to get my hopes up with how things are these days but I gave it a shot and was my first day one release game in over a year I think. Took the day off and I was soo happy I did.

FunnyUsername,
@FunnyUsername@lemmy.world avatar

i wasn’t interested in baldurs gate. I’m very picky about fantasy settings, but expedition 33 has such a great premise I was all in from the intro onward

Harvey656, do games w Cloud Imperium Games [Star Citizen developer] Undergoes Major Shake-Up to Hit Deadlines

I’m pretty happy with 4.0. They sucked all the features from it, and the missions are having problems. But the game fucking works, finally. Or at least it did during the first 24 hours of the patch. About fucking time.

That being said this whole shake up was clearly a cost saving strategy, since most of 2024 was not the best in term of making money, a LOT of people jumped shit this year, and I don’t blame them. CIG messed up so much this year. They have alot of goodwill to re-earn from the community and 4.0 is a start but only that.

northendtrooper,

They’re 3rd highest. Possibly could break to be 2nd highest year of funding. Wanted that the be clarified.

But I bet acquiring turbulent has put a slight bump in their expenses.

yesman, do games w Elden Ring Nightreign Can Only be Played Solo or as a Trio - Insider Gaming

Summons were Dark Souls’ easy mode. In Elden Ring summons activate normal mode. Not an improvement.

Running a single-player melee build shouldn’t be a challenge mode.

Katana314, do games w EXCLUSIVE - Ubisoft Wants to Change the 'Far Cry Formula' with Far Cry 7 and Maverick

Something a lot of people miss (and actually Far Cry 6 forgot/discarded) is most Far Cry games end with a very deconstructive and sad message towards the violence you’ve achieved through the game.

They tend to miss since people that care about writing skip these games. I’m curious what they could do with it though.

Not installing your shitty launcher and this game launched with several, basic issues that took too long to fix, they fumbled it so hard! Ubisoft is frustrating, just let your devs cook in peace.

CMLVI, do games w XDefiant Hits Around 8 Million Unique Players in 1 Week
@CMLVI@lemmy.world avatar

As much as I hate to say it, Ubisoft has a really solid game on their hands. Some issue with netcode and I think the XIM/Cronus use is going to rise pretty quickly, but other games have dealt with it before. I’ve enjoyed the few hours I put in so far and will be playing it tonight with the boys. I’d like to see a classic TDM but hotshot works for now. Also a really cool take on the Kill Confirmed gametype

dinckelman, (edited )

Things like these prove to us, that they’ve learned nothing, after a decade of Siege

CMLVI,
@CMLVI@lemmy.world avatar

Which is why I’m so regretfully enjoying it. It plays well despite being a Ubisoft game lol

Katana314,

Call of Duty is a popular style of game but never comes down in price. It seems worthwhile to have a F2P knockoff.

Funny enough, Ubi even did it once before - Far Cry 3’s MP wasn’t fantastic but it was a decent imitation.

CMLVI,
@CMLVI@lemmy.world avatar

I very vaguely remember that lol,now that you mention it

turkalino,

Warzone, COD’s battle royale mode, is free to play and seems to have surpassed normal COD multiplayer in popularity. Talking to randos while playing normal COD multiplayer, a lot of people say they’re just playing it because it’s a quick way to level up their guns for use in Warzone

No info yet but I would be very surprised if it gets cancelled at this stage. The remakes sold very well apparently and Mafia 4 has been in development for quite some time already.
