A niche game named Stationeers and Baldur's Gate 3

Tried ghostrunner but ot was not for me. It was just not fun to play and felt way too difficult. Playing a bit of stardew valley and recently started tunic too.

After reading a book on Roman emperors I started playing Rome 2. Because of the problematic launch I never progressed far in the campaign. It seems the game was properly patched as I’m having a blast now.

I always enjoyed Rome TW, but it lacks some core game mechanics that Rome 2 does way better: political scheming, civil war, provinces, garrison, … I also loathed the anachronistic representation of certain cultures in Rome TW.

In short: even if it’s already 10 years old, I can’t recommend the game enough, certainly when you are a romanophile!

With the Divide et Impera mod, I think it's the best historic TW game. Especially if you're in to Roman history and like realism.

Djennik,

Thx for the tip. What does this mod do?

Started Spider-Man: Miles Morales and am loving it so far. It’s not as good as Spider-Man (in terms of making me invested in the storyline) but it’s good.

(Spider-Man Miles Morales)I love the way how Miles is kinda overpowered in this game too.

Playing through the Quake 2 Remaster with a nostalgic feeling. Now, having kids, I realize that I should not have had access to that at 13 yo. Distribution channels were different in 1997.

Damn right you shouldn’t have had access to the Quake 2 remaster in 1997. Time travel violates the laws of established physics.

Nothing. Really want to play the outer worlds but with starfield just around the corner I don’t want to burn out.

El Garde

Just started but, man, i love that vibe of adventurer going to fight vigilante who is totally not my own brother by kicking asses of city guardians.

I’m playing through portal 2 with a friend who only played the single player. I didn’t realise how many amazing maps are out there in the workshop, I’d highly recommend revisiting if you’re looking for a great coop game!

Those developers trying to shit on Larian need to cry and seethe more. Terribly incompetent people who can’t create good games themselves, why not trying taking notes instead?

Keep up the great work Larian.

RegularGoose,

This is the bad take management wants you to have.

Call_Me_Maple,
@Call_Me_Maple@lemmy.world avatar

Who in management exactly? As far as I know Larian is not responsible for the tweets aside from just making a good game.

RegularGoose,

I’m not talking about Larian, I’m talking about the studios who want to keep cranking out suppisedly AAA games that are little more than creatively bankrupt, dressed up vending machines.

Call_Me_Maple,
@Call_Me_Maple@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, in that case I totally agree. It’s just ineptitude shouting at excellence.

I can't find developers doing this. Seems like a mostly made up concern by overly sensitive people looking to be angry about something.

Call_Me_Maple,
@Call_Me_Maple@lemmy.world avatar

The picture in the OP is PR for a publishing company. There are many other accounts of people who work in the industry who are angry/jealous of Larian. You’re probably just not looking in the right places.

Ilandar,

I can’t find developers doing this.

This entire story was started by game developers on social media (Twitter) complaining about consumer expectations in the wake of Baldur’s Gate 3.

Cornelius_Wangenheim,

Try actually reading what the developers are saying. Most are saying that they can’t make good games because the suits won’t let them. They keep fucking over and chasing off the most experienced and visionary people, force teams to chase trends instead of concentrating on one type of game and never give them enough time.

Call_Me_Maple,
@Call_Me_Maple@lemmy.world avatar

From all that I’ve seen it’s more like they are trying to dismiss the success that Larian has found by saying that they are a special case which is nothing but smoke and mirrors. Larian did hard work and are being rewarded for it.

What funding?

Uh… Didn’t WOTC commission and pay for the game? I read that they went to Larian, not the other way around.

Iron_Maniac,

Not correct Larian reached out to WOTC coast first to try get the licence after Divinity Original Sin but were turned down because they felt that they were too new. Was only after DOS2 that they got the license.

Riven,

New? They’ve been around since the 90s. Original Sin was like the 5th or 6th Divinity game.

Hear that Gamefreak, owner of the highest-grossing media franchise of all times?

@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

They learned their lesson though. They don’t need to put on any effort and people will still buy it.

Syrc,

I know and I fucking hate it. I was one of the fanboys defending them even through the first SwSh trailers, but the more they showed stuff the more it was clear it wasn’t the franchise I used to love anymore.

The next great Pokemon game won’t be by Gamefreak, and it won’t be called Pokemon. But your kids will love it.

Syrc,

Man I hope the next great Pokémon (even if it’s not pokémon) doesn’t take until I have kids to come out. I heard good stuff about Coromon but I’m not sure if it’s genuinely great or “great for an indie”.

Madden is worth whatever people are willing to pay for it.

I’m reliably informed by people who really hate Overwatch that thinking like this makes you a chump for capitalism who is ruining the industry.

Strangle,

Capitalism works. There are markets who will pay for these and that’s why they are made. That’s what capitalism is.

If not for capitalism, these games wouldn’t even exist.

Now, the issue I think you’re worried about is that people begrudgingly pay for the game when they don’t really want to. Or pay more than they want to for it.

That’s not capitalism, that’s FOMO.

People make a ton of shit everyday that I don’t buy. But obviously someone is out there paying for this shit, or it wouldn’t be being made.

What do I care, or what do you care about it enough to even address?

If people don’t buy it, it either gets cheaper or it’s not made at all. So just don’t buy it. I haven’t bought a sports game in 20 years because of this. But they keep making them and people keep complaining about them.

Complain about yourselves, it’s not capitalism, it’s the consumers.

@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

Uh, I thought I was being pretty clear that I wasn’t the crazed anticapitalist, but I guess Poe’s Law.

kemsat, do games w Madden should not be 70$

For like 20 years y’all have been buying the game, year after year, even if it’s not worth it.

Football video games were such a big part of my childhood in the 80s and 90s, but football video games died the day NFL2K died.

Ashtear,

See also: Pokémon.

I’ve always been bothered by the lack of competition (and anti-competitive behavior) in the football space.
