BoxerDevil, do gaming w Hell of your own making

Wonder what happened

ordellrb,

This was last year,something about Monetization and a large Grind

That’s a core staple of the game and always have been. Last I checked it was from them censoring pro Ukraine messages.

gmtom,

No it was them proposing changes that they were saying would make the grand easier but would objectively make it worse for everyone who isn’t getting 10kill + game every game (and a 10 kill game is pretty rare even for good players) but really that was the straw that broke the camels back and it was backlash fro. Years of shitty practices.

Transporter_Room_3, do gaming w Never understood this
@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

start game

go from A to B

press button/scan object

go from B to C

solve 3rd grade puzzle

go from C to D

scan object and defend while npc does things

optionally sneak from D to E

repeat until the game is over

And the best part is, I’m sure nobody even knows what game I’m talking about, but they think they might have it narrowed to 3 or 4.

Some of my favorite games on the planet are literally “wander around opening doors” and “go to a place to solve simple puzzles, press some buttons, and don’t die”

Star Trek Online is what comes to mind immediately for me

watch dogs comes to mind first, just because of the 3rd grade puzzle part

It’s literally every game. The only thing being omitted is the how and why adding flavor and context to going from A to B.

MBM,

I’ll be annoying and say it’s been ages since I last played a game like this, and it’s not because I don’t game

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

Like Tetris or one of those Eye Spy games? Games where you go nowhere, or do nothing? Guarantee, you’re still moving something from A to B. Even if it’s just the mouse cursor.

MBM,

Moving, sure, but not solving 3rd grade puzzles or defending NPCs

Cratermaker,

I was gonna say it couldn’t be Hunt Showdown, but it actually fits pretty well, minus the friendly NPC. Start game, collect clues, fight the boss, wait for the banish and try to defend, then take the boss token to the extract, all while trying not to die from enemy players. Of course the enemy players make it exciting, and I guess that’s why I’m not that into single player games.

How else can you create a good player experience while not alienating casual players though?

funkless_eck,

live in point A

something calls someone away to point B

in order to change it back they have to sacrifice something important

return to point A

they are changed as well

and the best part nobody even knows which story I’m talking about

FractalsInfinite,

Every story boils down to a hero’s journey.

howrar,

It’s Tetris, right? It’s gotta be Tetris.

SchizoDenji,

Minesweeper? Spider solaitre?

Or you could just download it from one of the repositories. Unless it’s something really obscure it should be already preserved somewhere on Archive.org, Myrient or even Vimms Lair

Ripping stuff yourself is too much of a time waste when the exact same image can be found online

While everything you said is valid (and I may or may not have done that), I legitimately enjoy the ripping process.

teawrecks,

I don’t know what the rules of this community are regarding piracy or DRM, but I think backing your content up is generally protected, while sharing the content or encouraging people to copy something illegally is possibly not allowed.

setsneedtofeed, (edited ) do games w The Outer Worlds: Base Game | Free on Epic Game
@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

Edited: There was a recent patch this year. Which supposedly has fixed the technical problems that made Spacer’s Choice unplayably bad. I still can not recommend it because it was broken when I tried to play it pre-patch, but it has supposedly been fixed. Edited to slightly soften the tone against it.

A lot of comments in this thread are confused about what “Spacer’s Choice” means. This is the “remastered” version of the game that was not done by Obsidian. It is a Game Of The Year style pack that includes all the DLC. The upgrade flowchart picture on the storefront page is needlessly confusing, ignore it. As of May this year, this version was very buggy and unoptimized. Texture pop-ins and laggy framerates are widely reported. For me personally I couldn’t even get it to run at all.

joe_cool,

According to this comment: www.gog.com/forum/the_outer_worlds/…/post4

They fixed it. Is that true?

setsneedtofeed,
@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

I guess I’m out of the loop. I tried playing it in May of this year, and it finally got patched in June.

flambonkscious,

That’s brilliant, I love it and I’m jealous I wasn’t witty enough to come up with it myself

Omegamanthethird, do games w i made a speadsheet to get through my backlog a while ago and today i hit my milestone for the year.
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I was wondering about the “I’m done” and I love it. When you’re satisfied with the game and don’t feel like you need to play any more.

freebread,

Something I’m starting to realize too. Just because I start a game doesn’t mean I need to play it to the credits as soon as possible. I’m the only one fixated on my trophy list or hours played.

Omegamanthethird,
@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

So, I actually do need to play to the credits ASAP for two reasons. First, coming back to a game is intimidating. So if I put a game down, I end up deliberating between restarting and trying to relearn the entire game from the last checkpoint. Usually I end up playing something else.

Second, I meander a lot. So even games I’m actively playing I try to stick to the plot so I don’t burn out playing side stuff. (It’s not always even side content. Sometimes it’s just dicking around.)

freebread,

Feel that- source: I’m a Like A Dragon fan.

But another reason I tend to binge each game is lack of storage space and rising file sizes. Don’t want to download 100 GB again so better finish it immediately.

I mean… maybe.

Doombot1, do gaming w Still the #1 game in causing the release of classified documents though

…what happened there?

vettnerk,

I quit WT around 2019 or thereabouts. A certain amount of grinding is OK, but an economy xhange made it impossible to play the vehicles I already owned without grinding in between to afford the repair cost.

So what did they do now?

Celofyz,

It happend around june this year. Grind and economy was really bad. People were mad, Gaijin didnt listen and one day they made some PR faux pas, which resulted in review bombing and boycott. And since then… Gaijin actually listened and they fixed the game. Economy is much better, you can even have a bad game on br 8.0 and still have positive income. And amount of exp needed to grind to the top vehicles got halved

vettnerk,

Hmm, maybe it’s worth revisiting then, depending on how far back they reverted the economy.

snugglesthefalse,

It’s alright up to about 6.0 afaik definitely better but still not great. Imagine if they realised how much money they could make it they didn’t make mechanics to punish gameplay and priced things at reasonable prices.

vettnerk,

I paid for premium on occasion. But when the economy turned to shit I refused. Then they made it even worse and I uninstalled.

SgtAStrawberry,

You could probably find some premium codes, if you skimmed through some war and strategy games on YouTube. I see quite a lot of sponsorships, but maybe they only work for new account I have never paid enough attention to them.

Anticorp,

I was stoked to finally get a jet, and then really disappointed to learn that I couldn’t afford to fly it. It’s supposed to be a game, not a reflection of my real life inability to pay for jet fuel

Hubi,

Nothing, it’s an old screenshot from when the devs messed up the in-game economy. The game is currently rated as “mostly positive”.

@setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world avatar

The drive sprocket for the Tiger 2 was modeled with 18 teeth instead of 20.

The developers are buffoons. Absolute fools.

Unaware7013,

Better drop a classified document to prove to everyone how right you are!

HeyJoe, do games w GameStop’s definition of “New”

Back in the day they would tell me the only game they have left in stock is the wall case copy. So you can take it but the case was opened and disc removed and put into a drawer behind the counter in a cd envelope. They would tell you it’s new and they can’t give a discount but assure you it’s new. I hated that, still took it but I really hated it. Give $5 off or something… the worst part is it probably happened to me like 3 times which I couldn’t believe.

I wonder if the copy in the pic is the same deal that I had.

vivadanang,

I hated that, still took it but I really hated it

they fucked you because they could. you kept going back, that’s part of growing up I guess.

they’re just awful.

ComradeBunnie,
@ComradeBunnie@aussie.zone avatar

I used to work for their brand in my country, and I would have to repackage and shrink wrap the game & booklets when we received new stock.

So yes, it is open but still new (assuming the store manager is honest).

I still didn’t like the idea of doing this to games, but there weren’t many jobs in my town and it sure beat working checkouts…

ICastFist, do games w This should be illegal
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Can any owner of this game tell me whether it is online only or not? Or what uses it has for an internet connection? Because back in mah dayTM© that’d be the kind of thing you’d download once and, even if the online service died, you’d still have a working program/game afterwards.

Intralexical,

Why would they want you to have a working program? How does that help sell you more stuff?

CorrodedCranium, do games w Madden should not be 70$

Black Flag is one of my all-time favorite gaming experiences. Crazy how long ago it was, covering my feet with a blanket during winter, humming pirate songs while sailing in the open sea.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I get that. I played it originally on PS3 when I was younger. To this day the PS3 controller is just the most comfortable way for me to play it just because of the nostalgia I have for sitting in bed playing it buried under a fuckton of blankets with my head poking out
