averyminya, do gaming w What Hacked Files Tell Us About The Studio Behind Spider-Man 2

Good read. The article mentions people being happy with Miles and it being a possible way to stop-gap, and I don’t necessarily disagree outright but I do worry that flooding the market with interim games in the same engine might get a little tiring. I mean, that was part of people’s issues with Assassin’s Creed and far cry.

Granted, it’s Spider-Man with a number of variants, so there is a bit more differentiation. Playing 1, Miles, 2, and whatever the next is are all fairly different so it feels more like the Arkham games than the Ubisoft ones. I just worry that if we get a in-betweener for every major release it might get a little stale.

DroneRights,

Yeah, I enjoyed Subnautica Below Zero, but a lot of people didn’t, and I can’t say whether I’d be happy if more games started doing that. I’m much more eager to play Subnautica 2 when it comes out

niske,

I’ve been recently addicted to Subnautica games and finished Below Zero just a week ago or so.

I also expected much worse experience as I’ve heard a lot of people hating on it.

In the end, I had a lot of fun playing it through but I definitely can see why someone would be a bit disappointed of it. There’s a lot of differences to it compared to the original.

Sometimes it felt like it was made much easier than the first one. Like very often you could go quite deep without any vehicles because those oxygen giving plants were everywhere. I liked how brutal the first games was with this. If you went too deep without a vehicle or airpipes, you most likely died.

Also the map felt much smaller and the sea was much less deep. And the leviathan creatures seemed much less dangerous and scary.

Overall it was still fun to play there and while the story wasn’t perfect, I think it was still entertaining.

I really liked the jukebox feature. I wish there was a mod to add that to the original.

And the sea truck modules were a fun idea. But nothing can replace how awesome the cyclops is to travel with. At least in my opinion.

But nevertheless, it was still a subnautica game and I had a blast with playing through it. I am excited for the next Subnautica game :) in the meanwhile, I’ll try to beat the original with some mods and hardcore mode.

DroneRights,

Below Zero was originally planned as a DLC for Subnautica. It was also made by a different team. But it ended up being larger than planned, so they made it a full game, intending it to be Subnatutica 1.5, the same as Miles Morales. Unfortunately, they communicated this poorly to most players, and they took it to be Subnautica 2, which made it underwhelming. For some reason I took it as intended and liked it well enough, and I only found out it was disliked when I went online and saw people calling it Subnautica 2. They seem to have won, because Subnautica 2 has been rebranded as Subnautica 3. But I still call it Subnautica 2 because I remember the history.

As for the seatruck, I loved it. I never liked the Cyclops. Sure, it was impressive, but it was also a giant trashcan with a “kick me” sign on it. I was too terrified to drive it down the lost river, I preferred my Prawn suit with its actual mobility and comparative stealth. The Seatruck was a mobile base that was actually practical to use. And I loved the customisability.

johntash,

I liked the cyclops because of how big it was. I liked the sea truck too though.

I think my ideal combination would be a big cyclops like vehicle you could use as a mobile base, and then something between a sea truck and sea moth for excursions into more dangerous areas.

myersguy,

I didn’t want to click the article. Then I realized the ironic hypocrisy and deleted my comment, lol.

Guess it federated before I got to it.

One of my least favorite trends in game journalism. Every single article title avoids saying what game it’s covering now.

glimse,

It’s all web-based journalism unfortunately. I just don’t click on them anymore and start avoiding the sites that do it…hopefully more and more people do the same so the trend can die

Twitch should have a second version targeted for adults and everything else. It could live together with Twitch for Gaming and save for kids. Let's call them Twitch Gaming and Twitch Live. And all problems are solved, world hunger has been defeated.

I mean, even if you have a really short refractory period the streams tend to get less and less in volume.

Luccajan, do gaming w Epic Games Wins Shocking Upset In Google Monopoly Trial

For Apple i’d understand this but on Android you can download whatever apk from whatever store you like.

thingsiplay,
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

Right? Not only can you download from any place on the web and install directly, there are also established third party shops like from Samsung and Amazon or even better, F-droid for Open Source stuff.

Maybe its classified as controlling the market, because most people don't know about alternatives and therefore Google is a monopoly. Even if there are alternatives, Google is currently in a position to control almost all Android smartphones. Similar to why Windows was classified as a monopoly, even though we had Linux for ages as an alternative operating system. So this paragraph is just a guess by me.

Zombie media is trash in general. If you’re a shit writer, zombies are for you. Not surprised when that’s the main selling point.

wahming,

There’s a ton of quality zombie media, the subject has nothing to do with the quality of the authors.

The best ones are more about the human stories.

Toneswirly,

Zombies are just a sauce on top of the storytelling. Something is not bad just because it has tropes you recognize from other bad things.

Good Zombie Games are aplenty: Left 4 Dead Project Zomboid 7 Days To Die Plants Vs Zombies Day Z State of Decay (ish)

rishado,

Agreed but zombies make it too easy for shit writing to succeed. Zombies are slow, fast, smart, brainless, loud, quiet, strong, weak, all at the plot’s convenience.

It was actually a format issue with lemmy. My comment had line breaks after each game name, like a list, but the format didn’t keep. Now get off me nuts

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

First I’ve heard of it lol

BruceTwarzen,

I accidentally heard about it a month ago and watched a bunch of videos about the studio and the game. Pretty interesting, and i was really looking forward to see how bad it is. I was kinda surprised how big the following of the game is, and most people i know have no idea that the game exists

echodot,

Yeah well just because you haven’t heard of it and no one’s heard of it doesn’t mean that it wasn’t hyped, It just means it wasn’t typed very effectively.

Most-Hyped?

Since when?

It was the most wishlisted game on Steam for almost a year. It was the second most wishlisted at the time of launch.

It’s all very sus, probably inflated by bots

SkyeStarfall,

Which is interesting because I literally have not heard of it before today.

And looking at the current list, I know about the 6 current top wishlisted games.

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

0xD, do gaming w Steam’s Most-Hyped Zombie Game Is Out, And It’s A Dumpster Fire

How are people still hyped like this for video games? I personally haven’t been for a very long time because most of them are just money-grabbing shit.

Plenty of people were born after the Killzone 2 trailer, so they haven't been swindled by snake oil salesmen before.
