MoreZombies, do games w Another live service shooter is getting shut down, this time before it even launched on Steam

Fucking Zynga.

Shape4985, do games w After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game

Thank fuck now more effort can be put elsewhere instead of live service slop.

murmelade, do games w Best City Builder 2024: Manor Lords [as per PCGamer]

But… It’s in EA? 🤡

Dashi,

I don’t know how I feel about this game getting an award in Early Access. But it feels weird.

I have nothing against EA I played several ea games including this one, but this is getting closer and closer to the norm.

murmelade,

Yeah it seems like it will be a great game and best wishes to the Dev but it’s like giving an award to a demo. Why don’t we just give all the awards to Star Citizen then since they have promised us it will be the best everything once it releases.

EncryptKeeper, (edited )

Were there any city builders fully released in 2024? Is this a matter of an EA title being chosen because there are no non-EA titles?

Ashtear,

This is what I was wondering. Was the genre that quiet this year? Manor Lords isn’t just early access, it’s early early access. So many outright unfinished systems.

EncryptKeeper,

I can’t think of a single city builder released this year that isn’t in EA.

Dashi,

Frostpunk 2 released and is pretty solid. Maybe not for everyone but it’s a full title release I believe

EncryptKeeper,

Ah yeah that’s a good catch. It is a solid game and should have won.

cpkwtf,

There’s a Soviet city builder that fully launched in the last few months

Ashtear,

Following up on this conversation since I just saw this PC Gamer article:

I played a whopping 23 city builders in 2024, and here are my 5 favorites

KingThrillgore, do games w Critical Role's plans to make a videogame have become an 'active pursuit', says CEO Travis Willingham, after almost 10 years of growing a D&D campaign into a full-on franchise
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

I’m worried they aren’t skilled enough to do it, they just want that sweet BG3 money.

Maalus,

They literally have been connected to video games development their entire career. They are voice actors. They do that shit all the time.

Glide, do games w Warcraft Rumble, Blizzard's first new RTS in years, will finally shed its mobile shackles and come to PC in December

Calling Warcraft Rumble an RTS is like putting a hamburger patty on a plate and calling it a steak. You’re technically correct, but you’ve also completely missed the point in what people want.

Coasting0942, do gaming w Steam's new disclaimer reminds everyone that you don't actually own your games, GOG moves in for the killshot: Its offline installers 'cannot be taken away from you'

Steam should have taken the opportunity to recommend a gamer to GOG, mentioning that it’s only a license unfortunately. Or offer installers that can’t be taken away.

style99, do games w A Disco Elysium successor studio has been announced for the second time today, meaning there are now 4 companies battling for the title of ZA/UM's true inheritor

Oh, yeah. That reminds me. I still haven’t played Disco Elysium yet.

Ganbat,

I would personally recommend not purchasing it. Not saying don’t play it, but there’s no one who will profit from it who should.

Kowowow, do gaming w New Deadlock anti-cheat update lets players turn cheaters into frogs.

“you are dead frog not big surprise”

DebatableRaccoon, do gaming w The Day Before studio returns from the dead and asks for a 'second chance': 'From now on, our development and marketing will be based on the principle of honesty'
MrPoopyButthole, do games w 'Melts our frozen-solid hearts': Frostpunk 2 devs celebrate 350,000 copies sold—covering the production and marketing costs

FP1 was great

Potatos_are_not_friends, do games w The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO

Going to throw a shout out for Against The Storm.

It takes my favorite part of Age of Empires (setting up the dang base) and distills it into the perfect game.

Now if someone can figure out how to make the other half (the combat) really good.

someguy3, do games w The Divinity: Original Sin board game took 6 years to make because Larian was determined to do right by the series

So, is it good?

woodytrombone,

I have it but I haven’t even taken it out of shrink-wrap because I’m a terrible boardgamer. I’ll let you know in five years once my frosthaven campaign wraps up

simple,

I’ll let you know in five years once my frosthaven campaign wraps up

Frosthaven?! Playing that would imply that I got around to finishing Gloomhaven with my friends.

stsquad, do gaming w I tried two demos of machine learning AI NPCs, and they didn't convince me AI will lead to anything that immersive sims like Deus Ex haven't already done better

A bunch of generative filler text won’t games more immersive. Maybe there is some scope in giving the model hidden details you need to coax out of it LA Noire style but currently everything seems a bit gimmicky.

FireTower,
@FireTower@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe it could be a benefit for asking questions to NPCs devs didn’t think you’d want to ask that. Like asking a city resident where the market is. Probably not today but perhaps one day.

Jajcus,

Then every charakter would probably need his own AI model, otherwise everyone would know everything, which would not be immersive at all.

@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

They would need their own preprompt, that’s all.

jmcs,

If you give LLMs that much latitude you are going to have your NPCs spread conspiracy theories and fascist crap left and right in your game and a PR crisis on your hands.

eskimofry, do gaming w Phil Spencer blames capitalism for games industry woes: 'I don't get [the] luxury of not having to run a profitable growing business'

Sounds like skill issue.
