I’m planning on it, when the Xbox version comes out.

Might be a while if what I’m hearing is true… The Xbox Series S can’t handle couch co-op, and while it runs fine on the Series X, Microsoft demands feature parity. :(

ign.com/…/microsoft-engineers-helping-get-baldurs…

We always suspected the S would hold things back, here’s proof. :( I hope Microsoft comes out with a discless version of the X and just drops the S.

Either that, or they’ve got to lessen their requirements for parity.

@winety@communick.news avatar

Yeah. I’ve heard that. I’m glad Microsoft made the Series S; I own one and it’s my gate to modern gaming, as I don’t have enough money for a good computer nor Series X. It’s a nifty little machine. Obviously, I don’t want Microsoft to lower the parity requirements nor — shudder to think — discontinue the Series S. At the same time, I would really like to play BG3. Difficult times. I guess lowering the parity requirements would be the preferred option.

I wonder how many people actually play the Larian RPGs in multiplayer and what percentage of them uses couch coop. Personally, I can’t really see playing a long cRPG with someone else.

My wife is a diablo fiend and I think she’d make a good transition to a “real” RPG. We’ll see in September!

Agrivar,

I’ve recently come around on Fallout 4 - although it does need a massive mod list to make it good.

Kolanaki, do games w The game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I am just gonna pretend like Epic and HB banned it only after see all this PR work they’re trying to do to save this god awful looking piece of “art.”

And just becsuse the comments here don’t seem to know the real root issue: The game originally featured a child protagonist, and that was what Valve was sent to review. They only changed the protag to an adult after the rejection and now they are throwing a hissy fit over their pedo game being banned.

magnetosphere, do games w It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it
@magnetosphere@fedia.io avatar

Does EA own any other companies/brands that we should be aware of?

moody,

Yes, they’ve been buying up smaller studios for decades and shutting them down.

There’s an entire wikipedia page about it.

DamienGramatacus,

The only EA franchise I’ve cared about in the last 15 years was Mirrors Edge. Would love another but I’ve long given up hope on that.

Credibly_Human,

Unfortunately they have an exclusive publishing deal with the guys who made it takes two and split fiction.

Sounds like their recent games that they claimed did so well probably didn’t actually, and that’s about to be a massive problem.

SlurpingPus,

Good question, especially considering that the site is owned by Fandom, Inc. now.

I’ve seen several sites dedicated to old games go down in just a few recent years.

LucidNightmare,

I have some. I haven’t gone through them just yet. I got them from the Internet Archive, I believe!

UniversalBasicJustice,

I do and will share via PM if you promise to seed!

Absolutely, I’ve got ~27TB of free space left to fill! I’ve never seeded soemthing from scratch before though, what do you reccomend?

Edit: Wait, just realized you meant you’re going to share the magnet link, not send a direct download - yeah no problem, I always seed :)

joyjoy, do games w US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment

Spartans were originally made to fight rebels.

vantablack,

also in-lore the UNSC nuked an entire planet because they couldn’t stop a rebellion on it

www.halopedia.org/Far_Isle

Far Isle was a human colony planet, within Unified Earth Government space. The colony was the site of what is considered to be one of the United Nations Space Command’s worst atrocities; in response to a rebellion in 2492 that they were unable to quell, the UNSC razed the colony using nuclear weapons, leaving no survivors.

Lushed_Lungfish, do games w US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment

Uh let’s be honest here, the UNSC was straight up losing the war against the covenant. The only way they survived was to ally with them.

This is why while I love 40k, I have mixed feelings about there ever being a mainstream movie/show about it. I can already imagine MAGA wearing shirts saying “Purge the xeno scum”

JcbAzPx, do games w Krafton is now an 'AI-first company,' will spend $70 million on a GPU cluster to 'serve as the foundation for accelerating the implementation of agentic AI'

Wondering what they meant by “agenic” AI, I looked up the definition of agenic. It is “relating to agenesis.”

Okay, so I look up agenesis. “Any imperfect development of the body, or any anomaly of organization.”

Yeah, so I’m still wondering what they meant by agenic AI.

redhorsejacket,

AgenTic, not Agenic. As in, an AI that acts as your agent. Meaning, the goal would be to have an AI model that you could direct to perform certain tasks in the background while you focus on other things.

For example, youre in the middle of doing something or another when you remember that your oil change is due. You pull up KraftonAI and tell it to “book me a service appointment for my vehicle at the dealership this weekend”. The AI proceeds to work on that task in the background, only prompting you for input if it meets a road block it doesn’t understand.

JcbAzPx,

That’s even worse than I thought.

redhorsejacket,

I mean, that’s the goal of all of these AI companies. If you peruse any marketing material for Google, Microsoft, ChatGPT, Grok, etc. they almost all mention the “agentic capabilities” of their flavor of spyware.

Personally, an AI model which is capable of doing tasks like this would actually interest me. However, no organization (for profit or otherwise) is trustworthy enough to have access to all of the data on me that it would take to make an agentic AI actually useful, so, for me, it would have to be something I run locally. However, rather than invest all of the time, effort, and money into learning how to make that happen, I think I’ll just call the damn dealership and schedule an appointment. I may suffer from terminally online brain rot, but I’m not so paralyzed by human interaction I can’t make the occasional phone call.

Welp. I was thinkingabout buying a game from them about an hour ago. Definitely won’t now.

JohnnyCanuck, do gaming w The Outer Worlds 2 is a great RPG that exceeded my expectations
@JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca avatar

Glad to hear this. Years ago I worked with Obsidian engineers (who may or may not still be there, I have no idea) and I absolutely loved the systems they had built for their games. They were able to create games with a massive amount of content with a relatively small team of engineers, so I’ve always rooted for them.

I liked (didn’t love) and completed the first Outer Worlds but I thoroughly enjoyed Grounded - even though I never played through to the end game. I’ll definitely give this one a go.

pugnaciousfarter,

I’ve loved a lot of their newer games - especially Pentiment!

It was such breath of fresh air and so well written!

Anything for the shareholder value. Are they even a game company now?

CosmoNova,

They are a company run by individuals who haven‘t booted a game in this millennia and are only in it for the money.
