The scam is eternal.

P1nkman, do games w Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'

It’ll be released when the original backer’s grandchildren have kids 😂

TheMinions,

My old boss was a backer back when he had a young child.

That child is now in high school.

I remember hearing this joke in 2020.

brsrklf,

Joke?

Eggymatrix, do games w After stretching the definition of 'beta' for 8 years, Escape From Tarkov is finally hitting 1.0

Did they ever solve all the hacking issues? Apparently it was impossible to get in a match without at least a couple cheaters everytime

Truscape,

Yeah the player base did, by creating a mod that lets you have a better experience without them - Single Player Tarkov (SPT)!

XD

SupraMario,

And SIT is also a thing. Haven’t run it in a while, but it was fun with friends playing alone on your own server.

Truscape,

SIT has been discontinued, but Project Fika is the currently active branch for co-op play. I just haven’t used it recently since the headless option is a pain to set up.

SupraMario,

Damn, is Fika easier than SIT to get running? SIT was a pain in the ass to get going.

Truscape,

Much easier. It’s only difficult if you want to set up your own dedicated server (so the load is moved off of your gaming PC)

SupraMario,

I host all of our groups stuff on my dedicated server, but I looked over the info last night and it spells it out really easily for headless. SIT didn’t do anything in the way of helping so this should be pretty straightforward.

Truscape,

Maybe it’s my particular setup - I use Pterodactyl Panel to manage docker environments - but I remember repeatedly banging my head against the proverbial wall trying to get it to work, quitting after 3 days.

SupraMario,

Yea that might be a bit of a pain. I just run a 2022 server on my old TR setup. I don’t have time usually to mess around with more than that currently. I just want shit to work when I get time to game.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

They spent the past month or two making this a wipe for ultra sweaties (Flea Market doesn’t unlock until level 80 or some nonsense) so that only the most diehard of fans are playing and they refuse to accept that the game they spend 90 hours a week watching other people play has problems.

Jayjader, do gaming w To the dismay of sweaty 'movement kids,' Battlefield 6 is nerfing Call of Duty sliding and jumping to maintain a 'traditional Battlefield experience'

Having never played a battlefield game, having last played COD when MW2 released: good! Not every game in the same genre needs to play the same way, and I suspect it’s healthier this way for the “soldier shooter” genre to propose different kinds of experiences.

garretble, do games w Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed
@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

I always liked going into older BF servers that weren’t so populated just to be able to get a lay of the land without being destroyed in three seconds.

Or to be able to use the vehicles and get used to them without as much threat.

Maybe I just want a mode that lets you free-roam maps…

Dasus,
@Dasus@lemmy.world avatar

Sounds like you just like sight-seeing tbh.

garretble,
@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

I do! I enjoy camera modes in games a lot, too. I like to look at the architecture in games because I think it’s fascinating.

For BF, though, I do think a little playground would be great. Since they have that map builder tool, I may end up just having to make one myself.

Especially for adjusting piloting controls. If you try to do that while playing a normal match you may not ever even get to fly a chopper to see if you made a good change, for example. I played the beta all day on Saturday and didn’t get a chance to fly anything during that time.

Having long played some old CS, there was so much sense of community from connecting to a personal server instance, regularly seeing the same people, familiarize with specific rules to that server, getting to know the admin etc. I’m sure you feel a sense of community from match making, but it can definitely exist outside of matchmaking IMO.

And I’m not advertising for one over the other. But I’d be very happy to see the persistence of accessing personal servers for a game.

ReversalHatchery, do gaming w Modder behind the 'Swiss army knife of PC gaming' deletes their 20 year-old Steam account with anti-Valve manifesto: 'By the end of my bitter dealings with Valve… there was zero hope'

Enter Monthly Subscription Game Libraries and DRM-free → Exit Steam

In lieu of even the simplest commitment by Valve to keep their DRM client free of system requirement creep, business models like Ubisoft+, EA Access and Game Pass represent far greater value to consumers. The claim is often made that you “do not own the game” with these services, but you do not own them on Steam either; Valve stops pretending to care if their store’s software breaks your game after you have played it for two hours.

I would rather pay a fraction of the price to play a game for one month than pretend digitally distributed games have the lifespan of a boxed physical product. You can consume the entirety of a game within one month and pay an appropriate amount of money for the ephemeral service offered.

this person is extremely misguided. the a copy if the game files, drop in the goldberg emu dll, and done. works forever, in as many copies as you feel like. DRMs can stand in the way, but that’s exactly what makes it even worse on subscription platforms. and online only, or strictly multiplayer games? these won’t work whatever you do, but that’s not valve’s fault.

valve is careless but today other than GOG, it’s still the best (read: least bad) popular storefront, and subscription based systems are simply just the worst.

Cyberflunk, do games w Subnautica 2 studio begs rioting fans for benefit of the doubt after leadership axed by owner Krafton: 'The team that has been working on the game day-to-day ... remains completely unchanged'

I’ll trust you when you trust us bro. Remove drm, have an offline play mode.

No? Gtfo

Sophocles, do gaming w European game publisher group responds to Stop Killing Games, claims 'These proposals would curtail developer choice"

I hate that they tried to blame the developers here. I feel like they are just as exploited as the consumers. Many times have I tried to be passionate about my own work only to have it crushed and expunged by greedy upper management. I’d hate to be them working years on a passion project only to have it degraded by corporate grifters sending it into microtransaction hell

pivot_root, do games w Randy Pitchford asks fans if they'd swallow future Borderlands exclusivity deals, almost 10,000 people say just put your damn games on Steam

5.6% of [respondents] users said they wouldn’t pre-order [on Epic] knowing it would influence exclusivity, 2.7% said they would.

They really brought in those big dollars with making Borderlands 3 a timed exclusive on Epic. A whole 9%. Meanwhile, 91.6% of respondents preferred Steam. Bravo, Randy. Bravo.

Disappointingly, 53.9% still would buy it on Steam if it influenced exclusivity going forward. Even if it is Steam—which has a record of providing better service than its competitors—exclusivity helps nobody.

deltapi,

Randy’s twitter poll was stupid. He should have asked “if BL3 is exclusive, will you buy it on that platform?” With the options

  • Yes, if it’s steam
  • Yes, if it’s Epic
  • No
  • STFU Randy, your breath smells like farts
JIMMERZ, do games w Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman

Where is this free healthcare? Because I’m paying out the ass for my very minimal coverage.

Shut the fuck up, boomer. No seriously, get that dated, old man yells at cloud bullshit out of politics.

Deathray5, do games w Dying Light continues celebrating its 10th anniversary with a big graphical facelift, but don't you dare call it a remaster
@Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com avatar

Damm it’s kinda bad that there is a logical justification for calling it a retouch instead of remaster and that this argument shits on so many large game companies

ArchmageAzor, do games w The 'Stop Killing Games' initiative is close to its final deadline, and after that, its leader is understandably done: 'Either the frog hops out of the pot, or it's dead'
@ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world avatar

Really hope Charlie’s video on the subject helps mend things.

samus12345, do games w The emulator that lets you play NES games in 3D has left early access on Steam
@samus12345@sh.itjust.works avatar

It also works with romhacks if the code isn’t changed too much. Ducktales 2 co-op works like a charm!
