With Zaslav at the reins I won’t trust this til it’s actually out again

simple, do games w Multiversus, WB's Smash Clone, Is Coming Back This Spring

I’m looking forward to it. I actually enjoyed the game on launch but the servers were rough, glad to hear they’re going for rollback netcode.

TopRamenBinLaden,

I also enjoyed it when I got that rare match that wasn’t a teleportation and rubber banding mess. Hopefully rollback fixes that.

ComradeChairmanKGB, do gaming w Embracer Cancelled Nearly 30 Unannounced Games In Just 6 Months
@ComradeChairmanKGB@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Why are they spending all this money to aquire studios and IP just to cancel them? Presumably they need to release products to get a return on their investment, so why are they just sitting on stuff?

lorty,
@lorty@lemmy.ml avatar

They are out of money after some Saudi investment money didn’t go through, so now they need to cut costs to stay afloat.

OrangeCorvus, do games w Skull And Bones Open Beta Review: It’s Meh, Matey
@OrangeCorvus@lemmy.world avatar

The tutorial was shit but I played the beta for 12ish hours. Had no intention of playing it but it ended up being super fun. Won’t buy it, not worth the 70€ price tag. Got ubi+ for a month, should be enough. It was a pleasant surprise.

Secret300, do gaming w Square Enix Wants To Make Fewer Games – New CEO Takashi Kiryu wants to focus on making AAA and indie titles and marketing those titles better

I think that’s a good idea. There are so many games coming out all the time and if they spend more resources on a single game it’ll be better. Right?

CptEnder,

Eh. Hopefully this doesn’t include their 2DHD department. Those are probably classified as low budget but are by far and away the best games they make rn.

Has any of the rapists or apologists in ubisoft had any repercussions yet?

Then i am not interested in their games anyway.

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

Reasons I never buy any of their games.

  • Shitty studio practices
  • Ignoring PC the first year
Kbobabob, do games w GTA 6 is likely to skip PC again and only launching on current gen consoles

I’m confused why Kotaku mentioning next gen in the title when Rockstar only commented on current generation PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Haven’t they been calling these the “next Gen” consoles for awhile? I also don’t agree with changing the title to not match the article.

drmoose,

The original title sucks and doesn’t deserve to be repeated.

Phrodo_00,

Yeah, it’s been a while so it’s time to drop it. I don’t think you can even buy a new ps4 at a major retailer anymore even.

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

I know when the PS5/Xbox Series X/S came out they were referred to as “next generation” while the previous consoles were “current generation” when talking about games that were released on both consoles, for example NBA 2K.

I can see why you’re confused and I agree that enough time has passed that we can start calling the PS5/ Xbox series X/S current generation.

Voytrekk,
@Voytrekk@lemmy.world avatar

I think that calling them next gen was okay up to the point that they became readily available.

Too many games exist to be played in one lifetime now, who gives a shit, the series stopped being good after GTA 2 anyway

The fuck?

BruceTwarzen,

Gta is still kind of a great game. But i wouldn't touch it with a stick because of the people playing it. I swear dota is a jolly old time compared to playing some gta online. So i could not care less about the game anyway.

SomethingBurger,

What? GTA 1 and 2 are terrible.

criitz,

What? Those games were fun for their time

SplashJackson,

Terribly awesome!!

I’ve never played any of the GTA games I was considering this one but it’s not at the top of my list especially now

Templa, do gaming w 2023 Is The Best Year For Games In A While (And Maybe Ever?)

Nobody in this thread mentioning Pikmin 4 💀

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

It’s funny really. They probably could continued growth had Tim Sweeney just swallowed his pride and accepted the 30% commission rate. Instead, the game has a nearly non-existent prominence on mobile because of it.

el_abuelo, (edited ) do games w Nexus Mods Fine With Bigots Leaving Over Removed Starfield ‘Pronoun’ Mod

Look I’ve got no skin in the game here, what’s wrong with having a mod that removes a selector in a character creation screen?

I get that some people are upset if they get misgendered or whatever (as I would be…my chosen pronouns just happen to line up with what everyone assumes they are…comfy living) but is it really necessary to force everyone to have a pronoun selection option if they don’t want a pronoun selection option? You’re not going to make someone blinded by hate see any clearer by forcing them to do something that only affects them.

Edit: I’m sorry if my questioning hurt some folks, that wasn’t my intention. I couldn’t see what the big deal was, but thanks to those who made the effort to engage with me, I have a more informed view and I can appreciate why the mod was removed and why its existence was upsetting.

AncientFutureNow,

Intolerance paradox.

el_abuelo,

Thank you, i hadn’t heard of this before.

MissGutsy,

The Headline isn’t everything that’s going on.

This is not the first time something like this happened, some months back someone upload a mod that removed all rainbow flags from the spiderman game. Im guessing its the exact same thing like the last time: Someone made a new account to upload a mod that was only made to spark controversy. The mod itself didn’t matter, the author is just a troll that wanted a reaction from this. They knew they would get banned so they made a new account. Nexus has the same stance on this as last time: they don’t platform trolls so they removed it. It’s not about the mod, it’s about the authors intentions, which are to harm the platform

el_abuelo,

Makes sense. And what I didn’t state in my message but I equally believe, is that Nexus can host (or not) wtf they like. Within reason of course.

kazakhspy,

Was going to comment the same. How is this mod hurting anyone? Isnt this the point of modding, to tweak it a little bit to suit your tastes? Its not like its a rape or child molesting mod. Those things should get deleted. But this? Such a petty thing to do.

samson,

If you don’t like it go start your mods4bigots site, then you can upload anything you want to suit your “tastes”.

kazakhspy,

Pretty sure I saw one like that on the steam forums, and people there were mad that it existed.

mindbleach,

It’s almost like people are generally against bigotry, even if it’s allowed to exist. What an apparently complex and confusing experience for you.

samson,

Crazy. Fuck off you turd.

Soleos,

Imagine there was a group of people in your school, in your workplace, in your city who for some reason feel that Kazakhspy should not exist. They’re not allowed to kill you, that’s against the law, but they would if they could. Instead, they say fuck Kazakhspy, go kill yourself Kazakhspy, I can’t stand you Kazakhspy. Hearing that kind of thing on a regular basis might be a little hurtful. Now imagine some game studio heard about this and thought hey, let’s include Kazakhspy in our game. And then that group in your community was like “what the fuck is this! I hate Kazakhspy and now they’re shoving Kazakhspy down my throat in a videogame? I will not stand for this.” And goes through the effort of making a mod to remove you from the game and puts it on the website. You hear about this and see that it’s up there with a few downloads. You might be a little hurt to know some people hate you so much they’ll mod a game to spite you just because they don’t like your existence. Then the website owner is like, “Wow, this is weirdly hateful and doesn’t belong on my website. Let’s not perpetuate hate against Kazakhspy.”

That’s why. In context it’s hurtful to people because the intention of creating it was to hurt people through hate.

samson,

Noones forcing anyone. The creator can upload the mod elsewhere. Nexus doesn’t subscribe to bigotry and won’t platform it.

el_abuelo,

Yeah I agree, but forgot to mention that in my comment.

Soleos,

What’s wrong with having a mod that removes the skin color selector? I get people care about race and stuff, but is it really necessary to force everyone to have a skin colour selection option if they don’t want a skin colour selection option? You’re not going to make a racist see clearer by forcing them to do something that only affects them.

You have it in your own question. It is hateful. It was made by the hateful for the hateful to perpetuate a hateful idea. You might even call it a kind of hate speech, which probably means it violate Nexus’s terms. Even if it doesn’t, it’s icky af. And Nexus is entirely in their right to refuse hosting it. The nod creator is still free to use their own mod and share it in other ways, but Nexus should not be forced to host it.

el_abuelo,

Thanks for the reply. Some food for thought.
