GhiLA, (edited ) do gaming w Elon Musk says too many game studios are owned by giant corporations so his giant corporation is going to start a studio to 'make games great again'
@GhiLA@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ah yes, gaming. That one industry you can’t really fake past a certain point or everyone will boycott, call it boring or go on strike?

Perfect. Good decisions. Waste as much money as possible. I hope Ubisoft is in on it. Take as many shit-for-brains publishers and devs as you can gather. They forget half of the industry is wearing knee-high socks and cat ears. Propaganda games will go over like trying to sell kale to a shark.

gnomesaiyan, do games w Remembering the Corrupted Blood incident: That time WoW was overrun by a virtual plague now referenced by Covid-19 researchers
@gnomesaiyan@lemmy.world avatar

If I remember correctly, this happened in Everquest Frontiers. You’d catch some shitty AoE debuff in town and give it to other people, including attackable NPCs like guards. Guards were not easy to kill, so they just carried that shit for weeks. The only way to remove the debuff was die, but it just kept spreading, so the best way was to not coach to other towns, but Freeport was basically fucked. That was SOE for ya, and they did that shit on purpose.

CosmoNova, do games w Steam is 'an unsafe place for teens and young adults': US senator warns Gabe Newell of 'more intense scrutiny' from the government if Valve doesn't take action against extremist content

I’m surprised European governments haven’t demanded better enforcement of laws when it comes to hate speech on Steam. Instead they regulate stuff like lootboxes or spicy content because they think those are more harmful than fascism apparently.

caseofthematts,

The latter two are a much more broad and prevalent issue in the gaming industry overall. No need for the whataboutism.

CosmoNova,

That’s not whataboutism. Whataboutism is when someone brings something unrelated up to make the main topic look less important and that’s not happening here.

I suspect they haven’t heard about it as much lately. I bet if German politicians heard about the Swastika and Nazi stuff they would be on it very quickly. Nazi content like that is a big No-No in Germany.

NeoToasty, do games w Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament are now free on the Internet Archive, and Epic says that's A-okay

Why not since Epic has long stopped caring about anything Unreal in exchange for Fortnite anyways.

DarkFuture, do gaming w 'My personal failure was being stumped': Gabe Newell says finishing Half-Life 2: Episode 3 just to conclude the story would've been 'copping out of [Valve's] obligation to gamers'
@DarkFuture@lemmy.world avatar

I respect Valve for Steam. It’s far and away the best platform.

But the bottom line is the Half-life series made Valve who they are. It made Gabe rich. Yet despite having all the money necessary to have all the resources necessary, they abandoned the series, letting millions of die hard fans down.

I’ve never seen a more beloved game series simply abandoned.

For that there is no forgiveness, Gabe.

SynopsisTantilize,

Damn. But they made left4dead :(

Gabe was actually pretty wealthy even before he left Microsoft to form Valve.

Glide, do games w Morrigan isn't just my favourite Dragon Age character, she's the greatest fantasy RPG companion of all time

She isn’t even the most interesting or well-written character in Origins. /shrug

teawrecks, do gaming w 'None of this makes any sense': Amazon's latest MMO import is a localization disaster

narrator told me there’s a star—which might be a stone, which is also a goddess. A goddess of destruction, even! She’s bad, but she was shattered, and some people have pieces of her, which could be good—but maybe only if you’re bad?

me too brother

Blizzard, do gaming w Disco Elysium's narrator is going to stream Disco Elysium to raise funds for Palestine

As much as I liked voice acting in Disco Elysium, I didn’t like the narrator. He kept stammering (not sure if it’s the right word… kept making unnecessary pauses) and it was really tiring).

TheDarksteel94,

Isn’t that stuff usually a creative decision by the voice director?

TachyonTele,

I like that you down voted your own comment for some reason

Evilsandwichman,

I like that you liked that he down voted his comment for some reason

Blizzard,

I didn’t…? I was totally aware this would get downvoted. But not by me!

TachyonTele,

No comment has 0 upvotes unless the person that made the comment removes it.

Blizzard,

That’s not true.

TachyonTele,

Lol why, because you say it’s not true? How did this comment get 0 upvotes?

Blizzard,

Someone else downvoted me? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

TachyonTele, (edited )

🤦‍♂️.

I love how people obviously have no idea how Lemmy works and they’re just ok with ignorance. The reading comprehension is a train wreck off the charts.

a_little_red_rat,

Semi-agree, the weird pauses were baffling at times, but the voice itself was very cool

Blizzard,

I agree! The voice itself is nice, was getting Kratos vibes :D

JayEchoRay, do games w 'AI is coming for all of us:' Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, and Baldur's Gate voice actor Jennifer Hale weighs in on SAG-AFTRA's games industry strike
@JayEchoRay@lemmy.world avatar

Disppointed there are no insert

Greedy Corpo:

“Aah yes, 👐 A.I. 👐 we have dismissed those claims”

Jokes aside, at least in regards to Mass Effect both voice actors bring something to the game for me

Although, I admit female shepard is consistently better throughout the triology, male shepard has his charm as Mark Meer improved on his performance throughout the trilogy. The human element can do much to elevate a weaker performance and in its own way leave a stronger impact, at least for me.

morbidcactus,

While I like Mark Meer for his voice work in other Bioware games (Jade Empire for sure, also I don’t dislike maleshep at all) and his work on stuff like the irrelevant show, Jennifer Hale is just fantastic to the point where renegade femshep is to me the cannon version of Shepard

JayEchoRay,
@JayEchoRay@lemmy.world avatar

That is fair, I prefer renegade femshep as well. Jennifer Hale, for me, does her renegade lines with more menace and she carries authority better.

Male Shepard, I feel, does the vulnerable moments well, especially in 3… maybe it is a bias in the display of male lead vulnerability. I feel like Mark Meer does the more meme-worthy comedic moments better.

Generally I lean towards light hearted paragon MaleShep and badass renegade FemShep on voice preferance

Jade Empire, takes me back. Great game and had a nice morality system that effected how your character developed with skills and how the playable character interacted with the world and how it had a strong effect on type the ending that would play out.

Also thank you for the link, will have a look

Wogi,

The Elcor are really where the series shines for depth of acting.

Emotional; this was my favorite game series for a long time. Excited; hopefully the upcoming one will live up to the series’ name.

JayEchoRay,
@JayEchoRay@lemmy.world avatar

To be fair the greatness of experiencing Elcor Hamlet was intended to be seen through his actions not emotions.

[Regretfully and with much sorrow] One cannot truly experience it in its 14 hour splendour

[Restrained Optimism and sadness] It will be a different game considering the people behind it and the aftermath of the trilogy. [Wistful Contentment] Having the next Mass Effect have some grounded world building and, if need be, mix elements to a compromise of old and new

Wogi,

Elated; Elcor Hamlet was the first version I truly understood.

JayEchoRay,
@JayEchoRay@lemmy.world avatar

[Indubiously] Forta would be filled with pride knowing that. [Bewildered] Imagining having to script all of Hamlet with all that pretext

JackbyDev, do games w Shadows of Doubt, the procgen private-eye immersive sim, is leaving early access next month

The weird voxel graphics turned me off but the concept is really cool.

Agent_Karyo,
@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

I actually like these sort of boxes graphics, another game that has them is Cloudpunk; for reason I feel like the voxel graphics fit the world.

celeste, do games w Crush House is a parody of reality TV with nothing real to say about its subject
@celeste@kbin.earth avatar

aesthetically, it reminds me of 'going under,' but the corporate visuals were the point in that one.

RebekahWSD,
@RebekahWSD@lemmy.world avatar

Going Under was a great little game! I felt for everyone in there. Well, most of them!

etchinghillside, do games w Space Marine 2 feels even more explosively, grimly, and hilariously authentic to the Warhammer 40,000 universe than the first game

I still need the option to hide in a corner and heal.

Maalus,

In the first one you heal by crushing opponents. They’ll probably keep that system, since people liked it a lot.

billiam0202,

FTA:

As in the first game, executions are key. When an enemy is staggered, you can run up and trigger a canned death animation—usually tearing them apart with your bare hands, or impaling them on their own claw-limbs—in order to recover your armour bar to block incoming hits.

mnemonicmonkeys,

Hopefully it’s a bit more polished since DOOM 2016 is an example of the system being used really well. I found the first game to be a bit clunky at times

zaphod,

Heresy!

dino, do gaming w Here's 3 reasons I'm actually pretty optimistic about Dragon Age: The Veilguard despite being an old school RPG sicko

Paid content, best content.

dino, do gaming w Hidetaka Miyazaki 'knows for a fact' other FromSoftware devs want a Bloodborne PC port: 'If I say I want one, I'll get in trouble, but it's nothing I'm opposed to'

This is taking way too long.
