Nioxic, do games w Diablo 4 continues to walk back changes from its fiendishly unpopular 1.1 patch, boosting XP gain on World Tiers 3 and 4

This wont save the game…

It was pretty dreadful before the patch too.

chrisphero,

I already sold my physical copy and I really don’t regret it at all.

My group of friends and I where really excited and played through the story together, but the endgame just wasn’t fun. I don’t know what exactly it was, but we kinda stoped playing.

The new season and “patches” didn’t really improve it a lot imho… a shame, really!

CthuluVoIP,

The game feels unfinished. The seasons forcing you to reset so shortly after the game just launched only to replay content you just went through in order to get season rewards that don’t even pay for the next season’s pass feels punitive.

I haven’t played since the first season launched, and likely won’t until they release the expansions. It just doesn’t have enough to keep the game interesting in the meantime, which is a shame because mechanically it’s a much better game than D3, but suffers the same problems with being a single player / co-op PvE game that Blizzard is desperately trying to make into an MMO.

Dragonmind, do games w Forget Phantom Liberty, Cyberpunk 2077's free 2.0 patch is a staggering upgrade on its own

Combat was the incredible highlight of this game.

Seeing most of the fixes go towards that instead of immersion kinda… You’d think they highlight those immersive aspects more. The mods are sure as hell all about immersion including working stock markets and such.

GreenMario, do games w Payday 3 developer drops Denuvo from the game before it's even out

Appreciated but strange. Did they look at the sub cost and went nah or something else? I mean could have just wanted it for the beta but idk seems overkill (heh heh).

Selmafudd,

I don’t understand why anybody would pay for it while it can be cracked… sure its likely only one person in the world can crack it atm but if she wants to crack it she can and then it’s gonna be uploaded and repacked by multiple people.

But its multiplayer only (which has its own problems). So a crack would be pointless. Its always pinging home, so it just wouldn't work.

Selmafudd,

I’ve never played any of the paydays so yeah I’m not sure, some multiplayer can work with self hosted servers etc.

But yeah if it’s only official servers even more reseaon not to pay for the service

Duchess, do games w Japanese PC gaming saw another year of explosive growth

provided it means we get more PC ports, i’m happy.

orca, do games w Total War: Warhammer 3 DLC is getting more expensive and the community is rebelling: 'Remember they need us more than we need them'

The community needs Henry Cavill to come to their rescue.

BleatingZombie,

What do I need to do to have him come rescue me?

GrammatonCleric, do games w The recent criticism of Linus Tech Tips, explained
@GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world avatar

WTF does this have to do with gaming?

mothersprotege,

Seriously. This doesn’t belong here. I don’t know why PCG is wading into some youtuber controversy that seems to have only the most tenuous connection to their bailiwick.

FARTYSHARTBLAST, do games w Shadowrun 2007 almost had a System Shock-style singleplayer campaign
@FARTYSHARTBLAST@sh.itjust.works avatar

Fuck you Microsoft.

Kolanaki, do gaming w Bards are Baldur's Gate 3's best class and I can't imagine playing it as anything else
!deleted6508 avatar

Bard is always the first thing I play in D&D crpgs that let me. It’s a great class that lets you do a little bit of everything. Plus it’s great to do a face-melting lute solo as the last thing you do before ending your turn, since Performance is a free action.

Kovu, do games w Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site
@Kovu@lemmy.world avatar

please, fandom is one of the worst sites on the internet

subtext,

When the old school RuneScape wiki moved to a self hosted solution it was night and day the quality difference. I’d argue that OSRS (and probably regular RS) have some of the best wikis in gaming.

osrs.wiki

Treczoks, 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

Not a loss for me. I liked them when they were still good, on C64 and Amiga. But now? Good riddance. May the sheiks have fun with it.

Quill7513,

i’m less worried about me not buying their games and more worried about the folks who buy madden every year even though the last interesting release was 08

DoucheBagMcSwag,

08 you say?

patruelis, do games w Legendary game designer, programmer, Space Invaders champion, and LGBTQ trailblazer Rebecca Heineman has died

A sad day 😢

nuko147, do games w Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading
@nuko147@lemmy.world avatar

They should use prices of $200, 250, and 300 instead of the $70, 110, and 130 AAA reskinned games. That would work. /s

meisterah,

I like the way you think.

Charge the morons as much as they’re willing to pay!

mic_check_one_two,

They’ll sell games for 227, 375, and 510 UbiPoints^TM^. The UbiPoints^TM^ are only redeemable on their online shop, and are only purchasable in units of:

  • $10 for 50 UbiPoints^TM^
  • $50 for 275 UbiPoints^TM^. That’s 10% more UbiPoints^TM^ for free!)
  • $150 for 938 UbiPoints^TM^. That’s 25% more UbiPoints^TM^ for free! Our best deal ever!
nuko147,
@nuko147@lemmy.world avatar

Why not make it a Gatcha game too? You use points and you have a chance to win a good game with every use.

SuperSpruce,

No no, sell them for 376, 554, and 732 UbiPoints^TM^. Gotta buy that extra pack.

Kolanaki, do games w Valve announces three new products: the Steam Frame, Steam Machine and Steam Controller
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Okay what the hell is up with the Frame?

It says it is a stand alone headset and doesn’t need a PC… Right before it goes on to say it’s meant to be used with a PC but wirelessly. Is it stand alone or not? If I have Beat Saber in my library, do I have to stream it from an actual dedicated PC or can it run straight off the headset like I can with a Quest?

Diplomjodler3,
@Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world avatar

It can do both.

rainwall,

Its both, based on their article. Its an ARM chip they have a translation layer called FEX to handle, so it should be able to play most any steam game. Native vulkan games will apparently run even better because it can skip some of the emulation and just hit the vulkan API directly for rendering. It has onboard storage, so it can be used standalone.

In standalone mode, the intergrated chip will use about 20w, so you will get about 1 hour of playtime on it because of the 20wh battery. In streaming mode, the graphics will be better, and the power use cuts to about 6w, so it can go 3-4 hours. It has an integrated usb port, so you can easily plug in a bog standard battery bank and put it in your pocket for longer play times.

Just want to add an hour in VR is a LOT longer than 1 hour of flat screen gaming. If you haven’t used VR then they aren’t as comparable as you think.

You’re usually on your feet, holding your arms up high, waving them around ,likely squatting - a lot and you’ve got a screen blaring into your eyes with constant high intensity stimulation.

Most people won’t do 1 hour sessions on the regular, forget a 3-4 hour session without being put down to charge for while you take a break.

@riskable@programming.dev avatar

I’ve done a 3-hour session playing Beat Saber multiplayer with a friend. It was the most intense workout I’ve ever experienced.

The only break was in the middle to refill my enormous water bottle and to clean up the huge pool of sweat on the floor that was getting gross (I was wearing socks, LOL).

My arms hurt for like three days straight after that. I still played every night though 😁👍

Rooster326,

Oh man you gotta try Pistol Whip if you have not . I had a 2 hour session and I felt like I could not get up the next day. Knees weak, arms heavy, >!mom’s spaghetti !<
