stardust, do gaming w Helldivers 2 CEO Is ‘Extremely Disappointed’ With Dev Behavior

Treat corporate accounts with professionalism and get greenlight from other coworkers before posting potentially controversial content doesn’t seem like that hard a concept to follow. As fun as social media can be a corporate one still represents the corporation so can’t go around treating it like its your own.

Anthem was a warning to actually fucking don’t make yet another generic shooter and instead continue to make RPG games.

dangblingus, do games w Skull And Bones Open Beta Review: It’s Meh, Matey

People forget, but Ubisoft had the same reputation 10 years ago they have today. Even 10 years ago the prediction was this game was gonna be ass. Delay delay delay, people have played Sea of Thieves to death and are onto new things, THEN Ubi drops a lacklustre beta where you can’t even get out of your ship. Yup. Sounds about right.

BruceTwarzen,

People wanted more black flag and ubisoft was like: got it, let's make black flag as bad as possible

prettybunnys,

It’s a fantastic game covered up by bad choices.

I don’t need to get out of my ship, but maybe you could let me direct my crew on how they attack. Let me arm my crew differently. Let me change my crew as an item. Let me hire individual crew members as “items”.

To me it seems like a “we gotta get SOMETHING out the door” scenario and they made a “cohesive” game out of what was finished and hope that it lives long enough to add the other stuff.

I found myself wanting to log on last night which shocked me, the setting and ship combat definitely works for me. I wish there was more but sea of thieves didn’t do it for me.

It’s like they took Black Flag and said “everyone wants a Sid Meier pirates remake … let’s try that” but they didn’t give us dancing or ship boarding.

There is so much potential and it’s wild that they seem to have created the “core” but it’s taken them this long to get there.

1984, do gaming w Ubisoft Wants You To Be Comfortable Not Owning Your Games
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I’m comfortable not owning their games. In fact, I want their games as far away from me as possible.

Stillhart, do gaming w Suicide Squad Boss Downplays Live-Service Elements Of Obviously Live-Service Game

I was really looking forward to another Arkham style game. Sucks for me that they decided to go in another direction. Doubly bad when that direction (live service co-op) is one I couldn’t enjoy even if I wanted to (and to be clear, I don’t).

I_Has_A_Hat, do games w Xbox Slammed For AI-Generated Art Promoting Indie Games

I see literally zero problems here. Did they have a contract with an artist? They didn’t? Well then it sounds like they have no obligation to use a real artist.

AI art is here to stay, and companies will be using it heavily. It’s ignorant to think they would choose otherwise. Why pay an artist to make an image you may not even like over the course of a few days when you could get hundreds of images to choose from in a few seconds using AI? It’s 1000 times easier and more convenient.

Fiivemacs,

A billion dollar company…

They also saw a problem since they deleted it

Snowcano,

It’s tone deaf as fuck. From the article: “If you can’t hire an artist to do advertising, I highly doubt you’ll do it with independent developers.”

sirfancy,

This is the only point that matters. Even if AI is here to stay, that’s fine, you just don’t use it when specifically highlighting the demographic most threatened by its usage. The post was just a bad business decision; they should have known how it could come across. It’s their job to know that kinda stuff before hitting Post.

Stovetop,

If an independent developer is threatened by AI, then they’re using it wrong.

From a development standpoint, it is so nice if you are someone who is good at coding but bad at art to be able to use AI to help with the visual design of the game. It’s easy to say “just hire an artist” when so many indie devs are literally one-person operations who can barely afford rent, let alone wages for an artist.

derbis, do gaming w The State Of The Nintendo Switch In 2023

Seems really ridiculous to me that they can write an article like this and still use terms like “deathbed,” “barbones console,” etc.

If anything this shows that hardware matters less and less. The game itself is king and Nintendo is really good at it. Beefier hardware has diminishing returns and people who write articles like this seem to have cut their teeth on the big leaps: 8 to 16 to 64 bit and don’t realize that doesn’t really matter anymore.

slaacaa, do games w Steam’s Most-Hyped Zombie Game Is Out, And It’s A Dumpster Fire

Huh, so turns out the game does exist - though it seems it shouldn’t

Nacktmull, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

I could not care less. They seem to focus primarily on improving the graphics with every part of the series, while imo gameplay is much more important than graphics. Also, for the ridiculous price of one AAA title, one can buy a whole bunch of great indie games.

I think they take deadlines too seriously.

scytale, do games w Epic Games Cutting 870 Jobs, 16 Percent Of Its Workforce, also selling Bandcamp

I wonder what this means for bandcamp. It’s one of the only few options where musicians can actually earn from their work.

thesmokingman,

Like other commenters here, I’m hopeful. Epic owning Bandcamp was pretty scary. They never really answered questions about it and a lot of folks were worried it could have gone the Epic Store route. Epic might honestly have sucked up all the data and sold it off already, though. We don’t know what the future will hold; I feel like no Epic is at worst a neutral position. Songtradr is at least in the music business and isn’t headed by Tim Sweeney.

One thing about Nintendo, they always do their own thing. They’re content to let Sony and Microsoft fight it out over hardware specs, while they just stay in their own lane.

Thranduil, do games w Nexus Mods Fine With Bigots Leaving Over Removed Starfield ‘Pronoun’ Mod

Personally they should just make an offensive section and let them put them there

Delphia,

Why would you make an offensive section? Thats not offensive, its inclusive.

VonCesaw,

Why let a tumor fester

Thranduil,

I just like freedom of speech and expression by having them in its own section you would have to seek them out rather than appear in new

GreenMario,

They can form their own mod site.

yuun,
@yuun@lemmy.one avatar

but you are supposed to remove tumors, not give them their own section of the body

VonCesaw,

Unless literally the US Government owns the website, freedom of speech does not apply

mindbleach,

Bash.org used to have a “worst of” section, for the lowest-voted quotes. It was mostly racist garbage. At some point the worst went something like, ‘that’s where black people belong: back of the bus, bottom of Bash.’

They nuked that shit shortly after, because why the fuck would you want that on your server?

turkalino, do games w Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3 getting remasters early next year

lara croft’s boobs gonna go from 6 triangles to 6000000 if they use unreal

SeaJ,

That would be a remake.

mojo,

They’re remastering the graphics (at least somewhat, doesn’t look super amazing), and they’re leaving a toggle that lets you swap back to the glorious triangle boob graphics at the flip or a switch.
