Current Atari is only Atari in name, they’re a completely different company.

geosoco,

From a hardware perspective, that's been true since just after the 1983 crash, when it was sold to Jack Tramiel's company -- even before the Lynx and Jaguar. The software side was split into Atari games which has an even longer history of being passed around.

Sniping pirates and leaving them sitting in odd poses is oddly sad. Sometimes they freeze in place sitting on a couch or whatever. Low G has some weird stuff going on when you kill someone too, although watching dead bodies slowly float down is a neat touch.

  • atocci,

    I just started last night, but that was immediately the vibe I was getting. Not a bad thing so far, but I never did finish Skyrim, so I guess I'll see if this goes the same way...

  • tias,

    Bethesda didn’t evolve over the past 10 years. They just added some ambient occlusion and increased the resolution of their textures. The game engine was OK when when Skyrim came out, but it’s really kind of embarrassing that the exact same issues still remain in 2023.

    I’ve only finished eg. Skyrim or Fallout 4 both once, but I’ve got gods know how many zillions of hours in them, especially after installing Sim Settlers 2 for FO4. I like the worlds, I just don’t care much about the story and the games don’t make me care about the story

    This Fallout video is one of my favourite occurrences of this issue.

    That is amazing and I laughed so hard I had tears.

    Everblue,

    Holy shit my sides. That robot has 0 fucks to give, get slapped.

    gregorum,

    This is the first thing I’m reading today, and I think it’s going to set the entire tone for the day. 

    Thank you, it’s amazing!

    The last one linked in the article was really good, too.

    Farewell.

    Maultasche,

    May you rest in peace.

    I had [semi-important named NPC] die during a quest but then still talk to me as they were lying on the ground. Just Bethesda things, I guess.

    They have a tiered system where important NPCs can't die until conditions are satisfied, wonder if the condition to die was satisfied but dialog still got delivered?

    I hope they get the audio problems sorted. They do hilarious shit but Tom’s robotic voice cutting out all the time makes it a hard listen.

    BTW, they had the Narrator, Amelia Tyler, as a guest for their third stream. She’s a friend of Neil.

    Cavemanfreak,

    He has pinned a comment on the first video saying audio won’t be a problem going forward. Not sure if that’s for the videos already out, or for a new batch of videos though, haven’t seen the first batch yet.

    Nice, thanks.

    Somehow I see to have completely missed this guy on my play through!

    fosforus, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 has ruined Starfield for me

    Doesn’t BG3 have that “throw the dice” -gimmick? At least we can avoid that horrible joke of a game mechanic in Starfield.

    fosforus, do games w Todd Howard asked on-air why Bethesda didn't optimise Starfield for PC: 'We did [...] you may need to upgrade your PC'

    Everything time this dude opens his mouth, I get an urge to wear an eyepatch. But hey, if he’s as rich as he alludes here, that shouldn’t be a problem, right?

    circuitfarmer, do gaming w Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose
    @circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    This is getting a lot of flak, but I mostly agree. I have enjoyed the exploration of random planets as a pleasant aside to quests. Yes, they’re dull. It’s a lot of scanning flora and fauna, if they exist. Wandering slowly around.

    But in that sense, it’s actually one of the most immersive activities in the whole damn game. If Starfield has an issue with anything, it’s immersion.

    One thing I didn’t like about NMS, frankly, is that every planet seems to be teeming with life. It makes that life feel uninteresting when you find it, because there is no yin to the yang.

    You people want to hate this game so bad 🤣

    Oha, do games w The Talos Principle didn't need a sequel, but now that I've seen it in action I'm glad that it's getting one

    I should really finish the first game

    PenguinTD,

    you should it’s really well made.

    lemick24, do games w I've played the Star Trek game of my dreams, and it's a grand strategy game

    I’m not sure the article convinces me this’ll be more than a reskin of stellaris, which is my most played game of all time, but given that this is my favourite IP of all time…? Can’t say I won’t buy it on launch day.

    atlasraven31,

    I always wait a few months for early patches.

    lemick24,

    You’re wise and I should follow your lead. Will I, though… sigh

    atlasraven31,

    You can play Star Trek Armada 2 while you wait…

    Why are they selling it as a fantasy action adventure game when it was a moon simulator all along.

    But that’s real life, this is a video game. People will not share that same respect for it lol.
