Don’t the Japanese have to stab themselves in the liver with a sword if they resign from one of their soul crushing 18 hour a day office jobs?

pirateKaiser,

You’ve fallen victim to propaganda, my friend.

It’s only mandatory if they survive the fall…

Afail: It’s not easy to get out of a job due to it being a bad reflection on you/company.
So whoever can be blamed, will be blamed.

Aw that’s a shame. My kid loves NFS Heat. It’s his most favorite game.

tahoe,

I played it recently (after not having played any NFS in like 15 years since I’ve come to hate AAA slop), and I thought it was really fun! The driving dynamics especially, and I was surprised to see so many different cars and so much customisation possible.

Not perfect of course, the music is utter garbage (to my ears) and it could have been more polished, but I definitely didn’t expect I’d play for 30 hours. They were on the right track.

HeyJoe, do games w Next gen PS and Xbox consoles scheduled for 2027, tipped by cancelled Blade Runner game

I know it tracks with the release of other consoles, but wow, did this one go fast… I feel like it’s barely been out, but over 6 years have passed and it will be 7 when it releases. I honestly have no idea how they can even improve much from what currently exists anyway. Almost everything I wanted was addressed in the PS5. Guess we’ll see.

technomad,

Were you happy with the ps5? Genuinely curious.

HeyJoe,

Yes, it improved on every aspect of the ps4. Load times were non-existent, graphics upgrade was good enough, the exclusives were always great. I like a dedicated box for gaming, not that I don’t play pc games as well, it’s just easier to pick up and go on a console especiallywith rest mode…

I got it a few months after it released, which is how long it took to find one, and at the time i was deciding between building a new PC or getting a PS5 and at the time the PS5 was way cheaper due to GPUs being ridiculously priced. I thought it was a great price for what you got and it’s a solid system. I use it on average once every other day and has given me no issues.

It was a solid console in every aspect to me. My one complaint is as much as I like the controllers they suffer from stick drift and I have gone through 4 controllers so far. Same goes for every one of my friends so it’s awful.

technomad,

Those are all pretty good reasons.

My experience with all of it was quite a bit different, for reasons that were mostly out of my control, and it affected my overall impression.

It’s good to know that some people were/are happy with it though.

Let’s see what MS has to say about that. Although they won’t say anything officially, of course. But they’ll certainly try to prevent this sort of thing from catching on from behind the scenes.

Back in Balmers days there would have been a mysterous briefcase men suggesting adjusted prices for all future MS involvement.

And you really believe they’re not doing that any more?

@random_character_a@lemmy.world avatar

Probably, but back then they were really aggressive and even went after some small school in ass end of the world, because local newspapers had informed that the school was planning to swap computer lab devices to use various open source operating systems.

In went the MS briefcase man and the plans were scrapped in silence.

They’re less open about it but you can bet they’re still at it. Any OEM that sells anything but Windows will be penalised in licensing deals.

tehmics, do games w Zotac Zone review: Display galore with class-leading inputs

These reviews never do a great job talking about UI/UX and that’s literally the only thing I care about until they get the steam deck OS or Microsoft actually enters the space with a Windows version.

Could always install Bazzite on it, which would fix the UI issues and bring it on par with the Steam Deck.

Bring back burnout

Kjell,
@Kjell@lemmy.world avatar

Burnout Paradise was so good, spent hundreds of hours with it. At least the last game in the series was a good one.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Paradise didn’t do it for a lot of us, and we’re still waiting for a good successor to Takedown and Revenge.

Kjell,
@Kjell@lemmy.world avatar

I only played them at friends. Was the races started from a menu instead of driving around in the city to find races? Or was it the car feeling and handling that was different?

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Mostly the former. You got a better variety of courses rather than Paradise reusing a lot of the same pieces of something that distinctly looked like only one city, and a menu was just a quicker way to get in and out of the part of the game you wanted to play.

Kjell,
@Kjell@lemmy.world avatar

Ok, personally I liked going around in the city but I understand why you didn’t enjoy Paradise as much as Takedown and Revenge. Too bad that they changed the concept of the series. Didn’t EA change Need for speed to open-world some years earlier with Underground 2? They could have kept one of the series as races started from a menu.

TriflingToad, (edited ) do games w Nintendo stock falls after mixed reaction from Switch 2 announcement

sounds like a good time to use my mom’s now unused switch and buy a used Mario Maker 2 cartridge. Been watching YouTube videos about it and kinda wanna try.

Ok so I tried to go onto the Facebook website to use Facebook marketplace to get a cartridge but apparently it got hacked somehow because it’s my email, but it’s not my name and it got banned in October LMAO
Id have to upload photo proof of my face, so guess I’ll just keep not using Facebook.

Looks like they’re ~30 bucks on eBay though.

john89,

Why not just emulate and play your games for free?

TriflingToad,

I looked into that. I’m wanting to play online levels and there’s no way as far as I know to do that with emulation :/
I appreciate the recommendation though :)

john89,

No problem.

I’m not sure about Super Mario Maker, but there is online functionality built-in to Yuzu.

I genuinely think we need a “Stop Killing Games” like movement to resurrect old games, but with a more public-domain approach.

As in remaking games like NFS, Command & Conquer, Freedom Fighter or Earth-2150 but make the assets public domain so that others can pick up & add things to the setting

HK65,

Trademarks should expire quicker I guess. That said, copyright in general is broken.

nuggsy, do gaming w Assassin's Creed Black Flag Remake reportedly brings new gameplay mechanics alongside updated graphics
@nuggsy@lemmy.world avatar

Fantastic pirate game. Very sub-par AC game, compared to its predecessors.

I don’t feel like remaking Black Flag was necessary? It’s not that old. Why not remake AC1? Improve that and reduce it repetitiveness.

I wonder if it will be an improvement on the original game or if it will follow the current format of AC games, which I enjoy less.

All I’ve wanted is an AC game in the vein of Uncharted or Tomb Raider Reboot, with an emphasis on story and stealth/assassinations.

This is the only thing that could push me to upgrade from my steamdeck. SteamOS is so slick.

I really liked Need for Speed World and discovered it 1 week before the severs were taken offline.

At least I still have Need for Speed Most Wanted III.

MightyCuriosity,

The community has resurrected NFS world though.
