FeelThePower, do games w New Crazy Taxi Game Will Be Live Service with a '100-Person Survival Mode'

how do companies NEVER learn? I seriously can’t fathom watching industry failures time after time and still thinking “this time will be different”.

inclementimmigrant,

No because gamers by and large keep defending and buying this shit.

If Valve didn’t have this dosh stream, they would make more single player games. Simple as.

AndrasKrigare,

I’m sure the $10 billion they make from Steam plays a role

This is barely anything compared to the cut they take from every steam sale

Nioxic, do games w The Xbox Series S Is More Popular Than The Xbox Series X

Neither is very popular…lol

I know of 3 people in my life that have owned or do own an xbox.but almost everyonw i know own or have owned a playstation

Generally theyre not super popular outside of the US.

learningduck,

Especially in Asia, which is a shame. My country doesn’t has a game pass and no official store. At least now we have a GP on PC, but not on the console yet

dudewitbow,

Xbox sales in the UK has a similarish rate as the PS5 does.

echo64,

nah, this was true during launch when both were constantly sold out, but now that availability has grown this has not stayed linear. the PS5 currently makes up around half of all consoles sold in the UK, followed by switch and eventually xbox. xbox sales are actually down 20% or so year-to-date.

It’s an absurd value. I have two that I just use as media centers and the house. You can also travel with it very easily. About the same size as my switch one you put a travel case on it.

TrustingZebra,

I wouldn’t buy one just for media. Even premium media players like NVIDIA SHIELD TV or Apple TV cost less than Xbox Series S.

ShittyRedditWasBetter, (edited )

And they don’t also serve as a current gen console.

TrustingZebra,

Well sure, but you said you just use them as media centers. Unless you count games as media too. But for just viewing streaming services there are cheaper options.

ShittyRedditWasBetter,

Pedantic ass mother fuckers lol.

TrustingZebra,

I wasn’t trying to be pedantic, I just misunderstood your comment.

toxicbubble,

the “ackshooally” people from Reddit are on lemmy to correct others without adding value to the convo

Grangle1,

Heck, a Roku Streaming Stick is enough for me in that regard and many smart TVs have that stuff built into them by now.

BigBananaDealer, do gaming w Starfield is Bethesda's Least Buggiest Game to Date, Say Sources
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

theres no way bethesda could make a game that was as buggy as new vegas was at launch (and still is to this day)

their_there,

Bethesda didn’t make new vegas though. That was Obsidian.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

exactly, bethesda isnt as good as obsidian at making buggy games 😂 though it was with fo3s engine and its assets

howsetheraven,

The audacity to insult that studio after they made digital gold within a year when shit like Redfall exists.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

but its buggy which therefore means its bad right?

wizardbeard,

For context, Bethesda provided minimal support to Obsidian and gave them an absolutely absurdly short development time frame to make the game in. I think it was only a year.

The bugginess isn’t all their fault. The game director even released a free mod or two after the game released to do some rebalancing and add a survival mode to it.

BigBananaDealer,
@BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

it was 100% obsidians fault. they agreed to the time, and they yet again were way too ambitious, like with kotor 2. its just who obsidian is, bad time management and bad ambition management. they do make great games but those are 2 real flaws they have

NuPNuA,

At least they no have MS money behind them so they can go that last mile and tidy things up now. Much like Bethesda here too, under Zenimax Starfield would have been out last year with all those bugs and issues still in place.

@storksforlegs@beehaw.org avatar

I think they definitely could, and have. Super buggy games are kind of their thing, it didnt stop with new vegas.

But I dont think it will hurt sales. Long as it isnt crashing the game, people have been waiting for a bethesda rpg like this for ages. Even if npc heads do rotate like propellors people will buy this thing.

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

For anyone who may have forgotten or may not know: the game is a day 1 launch on game pass. I already have it preloaded and I didn’t preorder. You can easily see how buggy the game is for yourself next week.

n3m37h, do gaming w Starfield is Bethesda's Least Buggiest Game to Date, Say Sources

But does it have 16x the textures?

It's hilariously sad when you require a headline like that because of your previous games.

(x) doubt

In the case they are actually being honest, they could just be speaking relatively - which still doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me that Starfield is going to be seamless and smooth at launch, or even a few months past launch.

In the case that they are just clearly lying, it's an intentional strategy: they're counting on the fact that they will gain more money from this than they will lose from people discovering it was a lie after the game launches.

doctortofu, do games w Borderlands 4 Price Has Been Confirmed
@doctortofu@reddthat.com avatar

Guess I’m not a REAL Borderlands fan, since I’m still not going to “make it happen” at this price, and even if I do eventually buy it (and that’s an if - I’ll carefully read multiple reviews and watch a couple of streams before I decide) it’s going to be for max half that. Tough shit, eh Randy?

Eggyhead,

I haven’t been a real borderlands fan since 2. The gameplay is fun enough, but the dialogue kind of gets cringy after a while.

doctortofu,
@doctortofu@reddthat.com avatar

I’ve enjoyed the last Tiny Tina one actually, except the atrocious DLC, but hated the dialogue in 3 too.

Honestly it’s unfair, these clowns forgave CDPR for lying about CP2077 being complete. MindsEye devs didn’t even say anything.

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

Is this like an Balan Wonderworld bad? Where it’s polished but just an awful experience? Or is it just buggy and meh?

Balans are some of my favorite because there’s something fascinating about a well polished turd that you can’t look away from.

simple,

From what I've seen, it's the latter. It's a very mediocre GTA clone that's full of bugs and is very forgettable in every way. The writing is also very bad.

criss_cross,

Aww boo. Bad writing can still be fun.
