I’ve put a few hours into Payday 3 so far, a shame it’s servers got the hug of death. It has one of the most developed stealth systems I’ve seen in any game. Core mechanics wise it’s definitely a worthy sequel to Payday 2.

Just quit bg3 because it was too buggy. I literally can’t beat the final boss so fuck larian hard in that regard. They are getting a real free pass on bugs due to pent up DND demand.

Onto starfield which is probably going to be a mess too 😑

I also quit it, we can share the downvotes lmao

Legendsofanus, do games w Sabotage Studio initially projected sales of 250,000 copies of Sea of Stars in the first year. They hit that target within just a week.

This is beautiful!!!

Is the game good?

mint_tamas,

If you like the genre, it is very good. I’d go as far as saying it’s really special. For me, it’s very comforting and just plain good vibes. Fantastic pixelart and tasteful, sensible improvements on the format.

Yes I would really love an old style game with QoL improvements that the modern era had bought for us like better controls, auto-saves, skip dialogue, etc.

It’s shockingly become one of my favourite RPGs and that’s saying a lot. The story is quite original with a few really good twists but the characters are also all excellent.

Soundtrack is most excellent.

High praise! I’ll be looking forward to trying this out then

DeriHunter,

I really liked the first 10 hours,but then it became really repetitive. I couldn’t bring myself to finish it. Maybe it’s just me though

Maybe the charm got old. You could play it in-between big games

RE1 HD remake (had played only about half of the GC one)

Such a wonderful game. For someone like me who grew up with the original, probably the best remake ever made. It’s the same, but so much better.

Oh, and Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth 2. Possibly still the best RTS ever made. Change my mind.

sparr, do games w This should be illegal

My proposal is for a mandated label on software and hardware to indicate that it will stop working when some online service goes offline.

Darkenfolk,

And then what? Corporations will just slap a disclaimer on their products informing you of said condition and that you need to agree, understand and accept these terms and conditions and call it a day.

UFO64,

Aye, but forcing them to put a clear “We support this until this date” label will make that a mandated part of their marketed.

That or, you know, force companies to release server software when they sunset support for their product. That would also be nice.

    Which is why we need meaningful consumer protections around this. Something with teeth to force publishers to back these sorts of things.

  • UFO64,

    I feel like lack of ownership of more and more things in our lives is a sign of problems. Sure, this is just a silly game. But this kind of shit is already hitting cars.

    sparr,

    And then products without that label would gain at least a little a bit of market share. Most people still buy inefficient fridges because they are shinier, but at least a few read those yellow labels mandated by law and choose the more efficient ones.

    Flax_vert,

    Ironically Nintendo sort of did that on physical boxes for their consoles that was actually just a download key in a cartridge

    While other devs are fighting errors, rpgmaker became the terror.

    so rpg stands for random pipebomb gore

    Well… engine is free, as in freedom. What happens with could not happen with Godot. You could even contributeurs to make it better. But, it s not the best engine… It s not as convenient, etc. Then you make your choice and can t complain (same as vs chrome)

    Yes.

    is there any chance for redemption?

    No.


    Anyone that trusts unity after this will get exactly what they deserve next time greed make unity put thier privates in a vice to squeeze out more profit with unreasonable terms then half backpeddle to less insane but still obviously unpopular changes.

    I hope this reduces Unity to perpetual irrelevance, but I fear it might not.

    @ram@bookwormstory.social avatar

    It won’t, but hopefully people looking to get into game development are more hesitant to pick Unity. If people aren’t learning Unity in school or on personal time, the work force for it’s going to shrink, and it’ll eventually fade to nothing.

    This doesn’t even need to be a boycott. Just a negative suggestion will slowly wile away the numbers, as their engine fails to innovate, gets outpaced by competitors, and lives in the shadow of its former self, entirely thanks to Unity Technologies making the biggest PR disaster I’ve seen this month.

    django, do gaming w Unity just released their new splash screen!

    Fuck them. I hope everyone for whom it is feasible switches to something like Godot.

    Is their trust broken forever or is there any chance for redemption?

    Not while the current management is in place and that will not change, so the first one.

    hoshikarakitaridia,

    Yeah you nailed it with that comment.

    Pons_Aelius,

    Unity Technologies went public back in late 2020.

    The creators/venture capital funders got their payday and the MBA's are now in charge as the company must keep increasing profit every quarter...forever.

    They cannot/will not change course now.

    asexualchangeling, do gaming w Unity just released their new splash screen!

    I don’t know, they’ve united people pretty well against them

    And imho no, no one should forgive them becouse they’ll just take advantage again
