MarcomachtKuchen, do games w I make games and this literally happened to me this morning

Do they just keep your earning in your account until one month your total outstanding earnings breach the 100$ threshold and you’ll receive all your earning in one transaction or does this money get swallowed by steam?

Road_Warrior_10,

I think they keep your money until reach the threshold. Steam aren’t scummy so I’m pretty sure there is no shady stuff going on with your money.

unexposedhazard,

Yeah i was about to ask that. If they just took all amounts below 100 for themselves that would be super fucked up and probably illegal.

@FilthyHands@sh.itjust.works avatar

I used to really like this game. The gunplay and art direction are spectacular, although I got bored of the enemies. I stopped playing a while before they deleted whole planets and questlines, and haven’t felt an urge to go back. Shame, because nothing else quite scratches that itch.

borari,

Yeah I bought the original destiny collectors edition, with the little ghost collectible toy thing and all that. I never even bothered playing the second game.

The latest expansion genuinely did shake up the enemies. They still need to … change something. It seems like maybe they will with the next expansion changing how they present the story. We shall see.

PP_BOY_, do games w Help me to settle on a face design for the character I've just added to my game, called The Humorless Toaster. (It's only here to make toast, not listen to your nonsense.)
@PP_BOY_@lemmy.world avatar

Definitely #1. But you can’t ever make any reference to it looking like Big H in the game. Just make it so people say “… is that supposed to be Hitler?”

Road_Warrior_10,

Thank you, yeah was going for more of a Ron Swanson, but now I totally see how people can see The Notorious H.I.T.

almar_quigley,

HIT? Hitler Is Toaster?

Ok, but she IS pretty cute. Mainly because of the fluffy ears tho.

Buttflapper,

I agree with you. I think this is definitely one of their cutest characters. I really like the cat girl character design when it’s harmless and light-hearted. People get so into this stuff and act like they are real

AllNewTypeFace, do gaming w Who remembers playing N64 while watching Nixon resign?

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

Yeah but they’ll never learn because tons off people keep shoveling money at them.

finitebanjo, (edited )

I think Activision might be on the way out, they’ve had playercounts decline pretty much every quarter and even though their SEC filings show an increase in revenue thats only because Blizzard and other new properties get filed alongside the rest of Activision, now.

I’m all for good stories. Do you all know any story-focused games?

li10,

I love what Remedy entertainment is doing with Alan Wake/Control/Quantum Break.

It’s a bit all over the place and an acquired taste, but since Control/Alan Wake 2 they’re really bringing it all together.

It’s kinda world building focused and spans across different games, rather than a concise “beginning and end” story. Quite difficult to describe tbh, but it’s probably the only video game story I’m really invested in.

I’d recommend starting with Control or Alan Wake 2, but I believe proper order would be Alan Wake 1>Quantum Break>Control>Alan Wake 2.

pyre,

i wanted to play aw1 again and i think i had finished it before but Jesus Christ it feels janky.

i kinda miss the times when i could only buy a game or two at a time and that forced me to play them for a while.

now if I’m playing a game with jank i can just switch to one of the other 2000 games i already have waiting.

and i loved control but it has the worst save points. i just don’t want to go back several rooms every time i make a mistake. that alone stops me from playing it again.

@teft@lemmy.world avatar

Baldur’s Gate 3. But the learning curve even on the easiest difficulty is pretty high. You’re going to die or save scum a lot if you don’t know DnD that well. Worth it though 100%.

Though bg3 contrary to a lot of good story games has excellent gameplay

li10,

I’m willing to accept the downvotes, but I found BG3 bland and corny.

Maybe I didn’t get far enough in the game, but the stories were kinda boring and the characters were annoying. Every time they spoke I wanted them to stop, especially Astarion.

I know different people like different things, but I gave that game far more time than I usually would’ve because of the critical acclaim and it just fell flat at every point.

I’ll up vote this. I can’t pick it up any further because I’m sick of hearing about all the companions “troubled pasts”.

It’s also so over the top for each of them, it would be more refreshing if one of them just had a normal cliche backstory. Instead everyone is extremely damaged and fucked up it’s like playing D&D with a PTSD Support group.

“Oh yeah so sorry you had to watch your mother shoot up heroin and pass out every night with a different stranger. That’s pretty sad. Well um hate to interrupt, but uh just want to um keep the game going… So let’s roll to kick this goblin off a cliff.”

positiveWHAT,

Upvote for relevant discussion/opinion. Remember it’s not an agree/disagree button.

dwindling7373,

The Yakuza games, but to be fair it’s maybe more of a case of good writing rather than good story…

PlantJam,

A Plague Tale: Innocence and the sequel Requiem are both amazing. The games are both very linear, which to me helps with narrative urgency feeling authentic. I highly recommend the games.

Infynis,
@Infynis@midwest.social avatar

Dishonored is my favorite, and one of few single player games I’ve actually finished

BruceTwarzen,

Disco elysium

Notyou,

Disco Elysium has been described as “the best game I’ve ever read” by someone I read online once. It is very heavy story focused.

positiveWHAT,

I’m highly recommending Oxenfree for the conversation system. Characters talk to you and each other in real-time and you have to choose an answer or silence in time. It’s might be more on the atmospheric side than story, but I recommend it anyway.

Pandantic, do gaming w Saving it until I need it
@Pandantic@midwest.social avatar

I remember when I first played Fallout 3 and I had never played a game where you can pick up everything (nor a game where things in the inventory had weight). When I first saw that “overincumbered” message, I was like “Is this a status effect? What does it mean?” Then my friend asked me if I picked up everything I found and, when I said yes, was like, “Well there’s your problem!”

rickyrigatoni,

You don’t understand if I don’t carry my junkmail the fish will go down a drain and I won’t understand anyone for the rest of the game.

The Great Fairy in LOZOOT was something else…

I kinda want to go break out the N64 emulator and play through it again now.

Empricorn,

If you have a 3/2DS, you could play the remastered version!

TootSweet,

I’m still salty about what they did to all the bosses in Majora’s Mask.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

What did they do??

Rai,

I’m also curious!

ch00f,
TootSweet, (edited )

In the 3DS version, all the bosses have a phase where they grow a big eyeball on them somewhere. And hitting that is the finisher move. Those eyes don’t exist in the N64 version.

I think they must have done that change as a tie-in to Breath of the Wild. Which, don’t get me wrong, is a great game. But they’re messing with my childhood here!

morphballganon,

Wow… hella lazy.

Gyorg was tough as a kid, but… bosses should be tough. Some of OoT’s bosses were TOO easy (King Dodongo and Morpha in particular).

Empricorn,

I know they made the first boss different/easier… did they mess with the rest of the bosses!?

TootSweet,

Yeah. All of them, unfortunately. (Actually, I’m not sure if they messed with Majora’s final form or whatever. But definitely all of the other four bosses.)

More specifics here.

I’ve always had a special place in my heart for the original. It was one of the first games I ever played and very much my favorite.

Debating on buying a physical copy+console once I’m a bit less strapped for cash.

Rai,

If you’re strapped for cash, you can play an even better version for free

Tbf alpha centari still works perfectly fine

Veraxus,

I want that game - exactly as it is - but with new, modern graphics. AC+AX is about as perfect as a game can possibly get. Just needs a fresh coat of paint.

blindbunny,

You know what I just remembered it doesn’t support my wide screen so yeah why the hell not.

Murdoc,

A little bit better controls and stuff too, but yeah, the story, characters, unit customization, etc. was all top-notch.

RizzRustbolt,
