"You won't find any bugs if you don't do any QA"

-Todd Howard probably

weirdo_from_space,

You can’t fault his logic. /s

orca,

deletes the Jira ticket

“Problem solved!”

BlueDepth9279,

Nah gotta mark it as cannot duplicate then close. Gotta rack up those sweet story points.

Lols,

iirc they have focused on QA significantly more than with their previous games

I don't think that the issue is the quality of their QA. Well, okay, maybe that's a factor, but I don't think that that was the big one for Fallout 76.

Some of the issues in Fallout 76 that they shipped with, they had to know they were shipping with. It wasn't that QA didn't turn up problems, but that they took too-ambitious a plan, ran out of time, and then didn't delay the release to fix all the broken stuff. Yeah, they did a lot of work to fix the game post-release, but by then, a lot of players had already been soured by the initial bad experience.

They did significantly delay the Starfield release, so I assume that they are trying to put this out in a more-sane shape.

Kyrgizion, do games w Nintendo is Trying to Stop You From Filing Lawsuits Against Them With New EULA Amendment

Don’t worry Nintendo, even as someone who grew up on SMB, you’ve thoroughly convinced me to never do business with you ever again. Not even nostalgia…

gradual,

Check out Jak & Daxter.

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

I guess Ubisoft needs to get comfortable with people not buying their games

PunchingWood,

Ironically XDefiant a free game.

newthrowaway20, do games w Ubisoft Says That XDefiant Has Fallen Behind Expectations

Got to be honest, this is the first I’ve even heard of this game.

SomethingBurger,

XDefiant sounds like an anticheat.

newthrowaway20,

Or a Wrestling Faction from the late 90’s

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

TIL there is even a situation! I guess this explains why I’ve not even heard about any good bundles for a few years.

sparr,

humble games is a game publisher, only connected to humble bundle through corporate ownership. most games in humble bundles aren’t published by humble games, and most games published by humble games don’t end up in humble bundles

smeg,

Noted, thanks

It’s ok, not every franchise has to go on forever.

MeatsOfRage,

Ubi also needs to just kill Beyond Good and Evil 2 at this point. There’s no way anything good can come from a project with 17 years of development and nothing really to show for it.

I would kill myself with no weekend. It’s no way to live. Just work slaves

CrabAndBroom,

Especially for Star Citizen lol. Like what are they gonna show? Given their track record, at best it’ll be some half-baked new mechanic that doesn’t work properly and will eventually be tossed and replaced anyway.

The whole game right now is just a series of those duct-taped together, as far as I can tell.

GBU_28, do games w Steam Is Run By Fewer Than 80 Staff, Lawsuit Docs Reveal

Why is this getting posted so often?

TurboHarbinger,

This is a “they are hoarding all the profits” “they’re not open to stock exchange” “why I can’t have a piece if this cake, it’s unfair” kind of news.

Pure pressure politics.

GBU_28,

Who should they share it with?

Agrivar,

Just me. Don’t worry, I’ll do great things with it. Trust me, bro.

shadowspirit,

You sound confident. Like a person I can trust.

pyre,

gives confidence too. like some sort of superhero that has confidence powers. you could name him, uh… let me think…

ysjet,

Because Epic Games is really hoping to turn people against steam any way they can other than actually improving their service or morals.

jol,

And how… is this supposed to help that?

HauntedCupcake,

By making it seem that Steam is raking in money and uh, money bad?

jol,

This is so silly. Do people think hosting thousands of games and having thousands of users is cheap?

HauntedCupcake,

tbf, it’s likely significantly cheaper than the 30% margin. I still think it’s silly though

Daveyborn,
@Daveyborn@lemmy.world avatar

Millions* of users, I guarantee it isn’t cheap.

ByteOnBikes,

I honestly think it’s a badge of honor.

I worked in a company where we had 1000+ engineers on a SAAS platform for three years. And it barely has the same relevance or reach as Steam.

notgivingmynametoamachine, do games w Nintendo is Trying to Stop You From Filing Lawsuits Against Them With New EULA Amendment

This shit never holds up in court - you can’t just sign rights away by clicking “accept” on a EULA. This is a scare tactic designed to stop people before they ever try because “well it says i can’t do that in the eula.”

If Nintendo give you a reason to sue them, sue the ever loving shit out of those greedy corporate fucks.

Never say never in the US at least and never give these assholes corporations an inch they will screw you every chance they can and it will cost the consumer money and time in the end with these shenanigans.

notgivingmynametoamachine,

Fair.

I may have been thinking about articles I’ve read about the EU and how they don’t tolerate this particular brand of corpo overreach, my apologies and thank you for the correction.

God I wish I lived in a sane country.

Yermaw,

Remember the “Disney can legally kill your wife” memes?

Taleya,

Jokes on them, no one reads that shit!

simple, do games w Ubisoft's XDefiant Will be Shutting Down in June 2025

Ubisoft just launching flop after flop. I expect to see Skull and Bones shut down soon as well. They also cancelled the newest Division game this year and are scrambling to gain interest for AC Shadows.

Not looking good for them, but also good riddance.

Intergalactic,

Won’t be good riddance. Someone will buy them out.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

They’re poised to buy themselves out while the share price is low.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Tencent I’ve heard …

@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

I had to unsubscribe to their emails as I was getting so sent so many “deals”. The value evaporated once they got bought.

stealth_cookies,

Humble Bundle was cool when it was an occasional event focused on charity and indie devs. Once it became something that was going pretty much all the time it quickly lost any interest I had.

To be fair, Bethesda games are a fucking train wreck at launch so this is like an article saying this is the dryest water they’ve ever made.

I can’t name you a single Ubisoft game that i’ve had any interest in buying, in the last decade

altima_neo, (edited )
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

I missed when they’ weren’t so focused on development and more publishing focused. They published some bangers in the late 90s/early 2000s. Grandia comes to mind and a ton of Dreamcast games.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

All of the big publishers from 20 years ago doubled down on a couple of key franchises that make the most money and appeal to the widest demographic, rather than the old strategy of having a diverse portfolio across most genres.

FeelzGoodMan420,

The last Ubisoft game I bought was Far Cry 3 in 2012. None of their games since then have even remotely interested me.

Postmortal_Pop,

I don’t recall the name but there was a farcry game on original Xbox that came with a map maker for couch PvP. It literally let you shape the topography and place any asset in the game, easily the best map maker I ever used.

Cethin,

I believe that was FarCry2. It was a really cool map editor. I wish more games still shipped those. I had so much fun with that one and Halo. I don’t know why that’s gone out of style, with the popularity of Roblox, Minecraft, and stuff, clearly kids still want to make things. (I haven’t played console in over a decade, so it might be popular still, but it doesn’t seem like it.)

SRo,

That’s not an unpopular opinion, that’s just a well known fact.

KingThrillgore,
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

Far Cry 3 loses all its steam the moment Vaas is out of the picture.

Which shows exactly why it was good: Michael Mando.

FeelzGoodMan420,

I actually really enjoyed Far Cry 3. But Far Cry 1 just holds a special place in my heart. It’s just such a good game and still holds up today.

owsei,
@owsei@programming.dev avatar

tbh I bought far cry 4, but because it was at a heavy discount and Ij ended up paying less than (the USD equivalent of) 4 dollars

SuperSaiyanSwag,

Prince of Persia came out this year and I would say that it’s one of the best metroidvania games ever made

Neon,

FC New Dawn was actually really good
