JJROKCZ, do games w FTC fails to redact Microsoft document, revealing an old Bethesda release schedule

So considering that starfield got pushed 2 years it’s safe to assume Elder scrolls 6 got pushed at least that as well so 2026/7 for that, a full 15 years after elder scrolls 5

But you got so many ESO expansions in that time! /s

JJROKCZ,

I played ESO at release and had a lot of fun for a bit, now I understand it’s moved to a f2p game with a thousand expansions so I’m super behind and I just don’t feel like catching back up or trying it again as I’m just not into online stuff much anymore

jettrscga,

MMOs don’t feel practical these days with so many games to play. Who has that much time to dedicate to one game?

I’m not sure if the game market has changed, or just my perspective of time. Probably both.

dudewitbow,

Bit of both, people have less time on average, and its hard to break into the MMO market when its only dominated by giants due to the amount of content required to make a competant mmo.

There is still a huge market though.

isthingoneventhis,

I hate thinking about how old I will be when it gets released and how young I was when I saw the stupid trailer for it. BLEGH.

slazer2au, do games w This should be illegal

Pretty big assumption that you own something digital you paid for. Let’s be honest, you paid for a license not a product.

kolorafa,

I concur Buyer should not gain rights to product, so they should not be allowed to profit from it, but they should be able to preserve it, unless the license that you actually buy had a time limitation, but that should be clearly stated when you buy it that you only buy access to it to (at least) X amount of time like you have with online subscriptions.

Rai,

That’s why pirating is completely based.

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.

Boforn, do gaming w Madden should not be 70$

One could say it’s maddening to see this game sold for 70$…

Aggravationstation, do gaming w I even remember taking batteries from a smoke detector once.

I think this is why smoke detectors take 9-volt batteries now.

DannyMac,

Haven’t they always taken 9v?

Fredy1422,

they have, although some do take AA or AAA batteries but its very uncommon. some especially carbon monixide dectectors have internal batteries that require replacement.

variants,

We just bought new smoke detectors and they take AA, I bought a 9v just out of assumption and got home and was blown away

GladiusB,
@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

9v are just two AAs wrapped together. So not surprised.

randombullet,

Eh not quite. AA are 1.5v so two would only be 3v.

You might be thinking of the big 6v lantern batteries. They’re usually 4 x 1.5v cells together.

GladiusB,
@GladiusB@lemmy.world avatar

I thought I watched some YouTube video where they linked them and it worked. But who knows how accurate the numbers were. I guess not since you know.

bitchkat,

Get the ones with the built in 10 year battery. Smoke and CO2 combo.

A_Very_Big_Fan,

Unrelated but a few days ago I found out you’re not supposed to stick two 9v’s together when I burnt the shit outta my fingertips :3

BradleyUffner,

Yeah… That’s basically creating a short circuit. Don’t do that.

ummthatguy, do gaming w I've proudly beaten the remake, but the original NES version is even more brutal...
@ummthatguy@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, the days when games were designed to pump as many quarters out of you as possible. The OG micro transactions.

Pronell,

Also you couldn’t let your game be beaten in a single weekend rental, that drives sales down too.

magic_lobster_party,

Also make puzzles so cryptic a strategy guide is needed.

Big time. They were also really well designed to allow progression if you came back and started again. They really knew how to design them to extract maximum cash.

There was a very popular game in our local arcade called “Toki”. I once made it to the last level on one credit (unfortunately didn’t complete it). The entire arcade gathered around to cheer me on.

Another time myself and a good friend finished “Time Crisis” on a single credit in two player mode on a machine that was in our college. Again, massive crowd. People really got joy from watching. It was great. :)

Dkarma,

This was a nes game. There were no quarters.

@teft@lemmy.world avatar

I agree with the dev.

RayOfSunlight, do gaming w Git gud

I hope the dev gets backfired for that, i hate that word, but, which game?

Pechente,

I found the link to the specific review: steamcommunity.com/id/karlino99/…/951930/

givesomefucks,

So it’s a free “game” where you type a word that pops up?

Wonder what the grift is.

StrongHorseWeakNeigh,

I think it’s just a little game to help you learn to type. I don’t think there’s really a grift.

QuantumSparkles,

Honestly if it’s a game where the difficulty is structured around teaching you a skill then the the devs response is actually kinda on point (while also funny). It’s like someone submitting a complaint that the piano is too difficult and the skill bar should be lowered so that they shouldn’t have to just practice and learn to play like everybody else. But I could be wrong (I usually am)

ech,

There’s zero indication that was their comment, though. All they said was they commented “on a feature”, not that it’s too hard.

givesomefucks,

I mean, there aren’t many free games that are actually free…

BeigeAgenda,
@BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

That depends on what free means, if it’s a GPL game it’s free as in gratis

But your point still stands, we should be weary about free games or apps.

DarkThoughts,

It's either free or a demo.

Kusimulkku,

if it’s a GPL game it’s free as in gratis

But gratis just means you don’t have to pay for it. If it was free as in GPL way it’d be free as in “libre” I think

sukhmel,

I think, it’s the opposite:

another review of the same game, it is positive and the text is just "Lol rekt"

Regarding the griftmaybe the developer just made this for fun and published for others to enjoy? It doesn’t seem like this needs any new features or much maintenance, that would also explain the response on discord: the dev doesn’t care if people like the game or not, it is what it is

Potatos_are_not_friends,

As they should. Sometimes indie games should just be art.

My games (really shitty demos), I’m personally not interested in building a audience or getting mass attention. I just wanna make the game in my head and if it kicks ass for others, sweet.

Etterra, do gaming w Classic Microsoft

Microsoft and Mojang make a lot of stupid decisions. Or rather, asshole decisions. I’m tired of it all.

Sabin10, do gaming w Many are worth checking out

Here’s a hot take. I really like the leveling system in Final Fantasy 2.

De_Narm,

I loved it too! Until I learned you can attack your own party to essentially powerlevel. Couldn’t stop myself from abusing it instead of doing some proper leveling.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

Yep, punch myself in the face until I never need equipment again.

yamanii,
@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

Same, you can really see the bones of what would become SaGa on it, I like it very much from the combat to the keyword based dialogue.

johannesvanderwhales,

I think it’s worth noting that if you’re playing the Pixel Remaster version, it’s significantly less jank than the original from the NES. They also made the trap rooms a lot less brutal. That said the game is overheated for sure. It had ideas that didn’t pan out but it also was pretty ambitious for a NES game.

Sabin10,

The first version I played was the dawn of souls on the GBA. Never tried the og.

gamermanh,

That’s why you like it, then. Every version of FF2 beyond the original has made the levelling less awful as well as try to fix up some of its other

If you go back and try an English translation (or can read Japanese I guess)of the original you’ll find its a shit ton of pointless grinding that just hurts to play

Im usually ok with a grind and some pain in older JRPGs but FF2 is not ok

FF2 is my favorite in the series. This meme hurt me. :(

kratoz29,

Is it any different to any other FF games? Sorry I entered into this meme 😅

I had pizza rolls and played Borderlands 3 last night, but was asleep on the couch at 8:00. I’m 39.

XeroxCool, do games w What game fits this?

Elite: Dangerous has lots of players that complain all day and play all night. Probably EVE too

Irishred88,

I found Elite: Dangerous incredibly cool. How many chances will we get to explore some version of our solar system? I know the game feels empty, but I found it relaxing for the same reason truck simulator is relaxing, just cruising and enjoying the scenery

Norgur, do gaming w This is what 11 years of usage to to a mouse. RIP my baby, hello baby's brother (I bought it somewhere 2014 after I fell in love with the first one)
