I liked playing DOS2 a lot more than Baldur’s Gate 3 so I hope we get a DOS3 at some point. Maybe I’m in the minority, but I cannot stand spell slots. They’re not a fun or interesting game mechanic to me.

I love it when good studios do new things

They took away access to a game we payed for and replaced it with an inferior product with the hopes and dreams to one day have single player content… which you would have to pay for anyway. Thats all i have to say on the matter of overwatch. Fuck blizzard.

It’s one of those games where you gotta ask, who asked for this? It seemed like the second game was doing very well. They should have gone the route of Counterstrike and just done and in place upgrade with the same content, but better.

Dettweiler42,

Payday 2 was good for a while, but then it got buried under a mountain of DLC and people slowly stopped playing because of the aggressive monetization. They came out swinging with the same tactics in Payday 3 with only minor content improvements, so people weren’t as motivated to buy the same game again.

Cities: Skylines 2 appears to be going the same route.

Katana314,

To me, this is actually why I’d want a Team Fortress 3 rather than more updates. The wave of cosmetics in some way turned the previous game a bit unplayable.

Unpopular opinion but I think the game is in it’s best state currently. I spent $40 on 2016 and haven’t had to pay a dime since and I’m not playing this PVP game for it’s PVE so this stuff doesn’t matter to me. Blizzard is a husk of its former self and I’m still bitter about HOTS but am actually having a lot of fun playing comp this season.

Jumi,

It needs a bit of tweaking but generally I agree with you.

Those who can afford it might want to buy something open source instead: shop.simulavr.com

Not affiliated with the product. Its linux based and not a walled garden afaik. In 5 yrs when sony drops support for the headset, you can still use this one.

Holy fuck, that price though. How about an open source wireless VR headset that’s…wait for it…just a headset, that runs on whatever computer you connect it to?

haui_lemmy,

Feel free to invent one I guess. I think we‘re basically in the same ballpark with that as we are with phones. Nicht qualifications needed and only proprietary players so far. Someone correct me if needed pls.

Sony published a whopping 2 games for this headset. It should be absolutely no surprise to anyone that it’s failing.

Why do companies not want money but yet screen and shout about wanting money?

BleatingZombie,

They were able to sell a video game which came with an IOU instead of a major component. I think they kept a lot of money by doing that

smeg,

Did they sell it though? Everyone who bought it got the game they paid for (and now sort of don’t have anymore, lol) but wasn’t the promise of PvE an add-on to the now free game?

they probably got a lot of people to buy the first couple battlepasses. a success for that quarter, maybe, but probably not the long tail they were hoping to get from transforming it into the GaaS model. they probably made more money from OW1 lootboxes, overall

I really doubt it considering how many boxes you got thrown after you, with coins for dups with which you can just buy skins. Was a great system for the player, but probably terrible monitarily.

Activision is burning the rope that is the ancient goodwill of Blizzard-fans at both ends.

Bdtrngl,

Surprised there’s any rope left for them to burn.

MentalEdge,
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

It’s a long rope. Woven from decades of WoW, StarCraft and Diablo.

It’ll run out soon. Mostly it’s only been burning so slow cuz people have been in denial over the fact for so long.

Donjuanme,

Burned all of my rope with the battle.net “2.0” complete with Facebook integration, rmah, “get the game for free with a years subscription to world of Warcraft” and killing deckard Cain in act 2 of D3 (along with ACT 1 being the only ACT with any love put into it, and that being the entirety of the demo, also pretty clear that’s when Activision bought blizzard)

Never played any of the sc2 expansions, never watched another blizzard tournament, never bought a wow expansion (after TBC), I lost a lot of really great memory associations, but the nostalgia isn’t worth supporting the corpse-puppet of blizzard.

It's a lot of fun. Got me to get a stylus to use for card games on my Steam Deck.

Boss blinds that hard counter you late in the game feel pretty dang bad, but that's my only big complaint thus far.

frontporchtreat, (edited )

I initially hated this but it does incentivize deck versatility. I stopped putting my eggs in one basket and I stopped losing so much.

Wait I thought overwatch 2 a story mode and that was its entire point. Tbf I haven’t been keeping up with the game

BleatingZombie,

You’re right. And neither has Blizzard

FlihpFlorp,

Oh Oh

Blizzard is dead. Don’t expect them to do anything good

This article is from Jan 2023 when Sony responded to a Bloomberg report that they had cut production due to lower than expected launch sales.

It’s possible they will rebut this article too, but they haven’t so far AFAIK.

june,

Oh shit. How’d I miss that? My bad.
