helenslunch, do games w How did Call of Duty get to this point?
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

You have to BUY the game for “open beta access”, like how does that make any sense?

Whole industry has been that way for a long time. Gives them an excuse to ship broken games so when people complain they can say “its a Beta!”.

I’ve seen games stay in “open Beta” for years (looking at you GTFO).

Thats not what’s going on here. CoD has for the past few releases run an open beta for 2 to 3 weeks, a month or two ahead of release. Buying this package lets you into that 2-3 week beta a week early, letting you get 3-4 weeks of playtime. You can still get into this beta for completely free, just wait a week and don’t buy the game.

Not trying to defend Activision here, cause I still think CoD is a shadow of its former self and these “betas” are nothing more than a demo, but people seem to have the wrong idea about how Activision runs them.

Yes it’s a ray of sunshine in a gloomy feed.

CheeseNoodle, do gaming w I've never seen a company squander as much goodwill as Blizzard.

CDPR? admittedly they’re really good at gaining it back again, kinda homer simpsons vibes where they repeatedly fuck up but then make an honest attempt to make things right only to repeat the cycle all over again.

seejur,

CDPR mistakes can be corrected, but blizzard games are designed from the ground up, with purpose, to be fuckup games in order to milk as much money as possible from it players. There is no correcting the boat for blizzard because for the managers of blizzard the boat IS correct

Raab,

Hopefully their transition to unreal engine 5 gets away with a lot of their launch issues I genuinely love all of their games but their release dates being “game launch +1-2 years” hurts me.

batmaniam,

CDPR is still on my “probably pass” list after cyber punk. I read the launch news, stayed faraway. I picked it up this year, after all the patches and work and… yeah it’s still fundamentally broken.

Not in terms of balance or bugs, but it didn’t have the magic. To start, I really don’t like fantasy games. They’re just not my thing. Witcher 3 had bad combat mechanics, could be terribly grindy and YET is one of my top five games. The story telling, from the plot itself the tiny immersive details in the world, hooked you. They nailed the big things, but it was the little things like sometimes you’d free someone, and realize they murdered a bunch of dudes who were minding their own business, and none of this was mentioned in or affected any other plot line, it was just a random detail in the universe.

Cyberpunk has a semblance of the big stuff, but exactly none of the soul. I cared about some of the main characters (emphasis on “some”) but exactly none about the world. It never felt like more than a backdrop.

A loss and misstep is ok, particularly given a growing studio, the problem with CDPR is they think they fixed cyberpunk. With that mentality I’m giving their next game a huge berth.

And if you liked cyberpunk, enjoy. There are parts to be enjoyed. There are some neat plot threads, some nifty side quests, if you enjoy it don’t let people ruin it for you.

pressanykeynow,

They lied about Cyberpunk. They knew it was bad on release and maliciously made decisions so that people would still buy it. That’s not some minor thing, that’s a crime. “We leave greed to others”, yeah, right. And this problem was never addressed by CDPR, like it’s a normal thing to do, they think it’s okay.

Ephera,

Man, Cyberpunk was not a Homer-like fuckup. They were promising features which were nowhere near ready, while their whole game hardly ran at all. That’s a crime, at least in my country. Homer doesn’t do crimes…

I’ve got family members that have loyally progressed through this game over the course of years and they absolutely love it still. Great music throughout.

After playing it I went through the soundtrack and added a few songs to my “Background Music” playlist I use when trying to focus. It has a ton of great tracks.

Streaming maybe?

variants,

cloud is the future, I got steam-headless on my server and stream games on my phone during lunch breaks. With things like that xbox subscription being more common I think thats how it will go. you just pay a subscription and stream everything

sus,

Lepsea,

You should try downloading RAM and SSD, after that you will have enough space for the VGA. My brazilian friend sent me this russian link to where i can download it

model_tar_gz,

Then download a NVIDIA 4090Ti and a 4K x 144Hz screen.

newegg hates this one simple trick.

Tixanou,

Look just hear me out. All you have to do is compress all your RAM into a .zip file, which is inside your RAM. After that, you can fit more stuff in your RAM. Then you can compress that again and again and again…

And you now have infinite RAM!

grrgyle,

Pretend you’re in the 90s?

The first bit about executing two generals looks 50\50 like you are a tribal warlord or you are joining a sect and that’s your initiation.

Aitborne had one feature, it’s even in the name, but otherwise it’s an average MoH.

It was a strange moment created by my accidental breaking on some game triggers. It was odd how easily and unintentionally I broke the flow of the level. I believe this was the only time in the game I needed to kill specific people as objectives.

Wizard main here. I keep trying to build a summoner or a melee but as soon as the space gun comes out it’s all over.

msage,

Have you tried Calamity?

colderr,

Yea but never really got into it

Even though I think it’s a very well made mod

msage,

Post Moonlord content is pretty good, since the base game wasn’t nowhere near as challenging.

colderr,

Yeah fair point.

Usually in CS you move or click, but not at the same time. Apex is you click while jumping around.

I think this is the logic anyways.

The buy screens.

AgentGrimstone, do gaming w What are your thoughts on crouch jumping?

I thought crouch jumping was when you crouch first then jump so your jump is more explosive, thus gaining more height.

I’ve never played a game with the crouch jump you’re describing but that sounds awkward.

Skyline969,
@Skyline969@lemmy.ca avatar

Super Mario Bros 2 did the one you’re talking about. I think Mario 64 onwards as well. However, the one OP is talking about is common in Half-Life.

abbotsbury,
@abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I think I’ve heard of mechanics where you can crouch to “charge” a jump, but not like, jumping while in the crouch interpolated state.

abbotsbury,
@abbotsbury@lemmy.world avatar

What games use crouch jumping like that? I thought that had to be wrong, but apparently in CS:GO you can just barely clear higher objects if you crouch and then immediately jump.

It might sound awkward, but IMO it is very intuitive, if you imagine crouching as bending the legs instead of going down.

AgentGrimstone,

Like someone else mentioned above, Mario 64 is the one I had in mind. I can’t recall any others at the top of my head.

Klear,

Some fighting games. One Must Fall, for example.

mindbleach,

Dude, Half-Life’s own long-jump module worked like that.

I have played 7D2D over the years, and can confirm the quality issues. I don’t recommend this game. They could have made a masterpiece, but ultimately spent all time rewriting various systems in the game for no purpose.
