SnotFlickerman, do games w I'm so annoyed that they're calling the new hobbit game 'A The Lord of the Rings Game'
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Also, the trailer refers to Hobbits as “creatures” instead of “people.”

What’s with a little fantasy dehumanization, eh, eh?

Consider Tale of Two Wastelands if you have the Fallout and modding itches. I’ve got lifetime nexus premium back in the day so I loaded up a wabbajack playlist and was good to go in less than an hour. Otherwise, it just takes more time to follow a guide.

Does wabbajack now work on linux?

Nobody wants to make a Linux build?

I have heard of people making it work, but I can’t confirm for sure.

SquirtleHermit, (edited )

It does not. A bit of intense work arounds can kind of make it happen, but many lists just fail.

Best bet it to use a VM of Windows, (or dual boot or whatever). But if you use Virtualbox, dont try to use a shared folder to make moving the mods easy, it just crashes the whole VM. My lazy work around was to use sftp to move the mods after.

Ragnarok314159,

Be careful with your lifetime. Mine was “cancelled” after trying to do an account restore, and they gave me a few months free to compensate. Wish there was someplace else for mods that wasn’t run by scum.

From the article…

The easiest fix is to own the game on GOG, which allows players to roll-back patches, but for Steam owners the process is a whole lot more convoluted.

… and …

A more straightforward perspective came from the team working on the enormous Fallout: London project, which was due to launch around now but has been delayed while the team works around Bethesda’s update. As the project lead says, “[the patch] has, for a lack of a better term, screwed us over.”

bastonia, do gaming w Tarkov studio claims it actually doesn't have the server capacity for everyone who bought the game for $150 to play its upcoming PvE mode, still wants players to pay extra

Not one of the stupid people whod pay for that. So whats the problem?

Cethin,

The previous most expensive option ($150 I think) included all future DLC. Now they added this game mode and charge $250 for it, and the players who payed extra earlier don’t get it included.

Also, I’d totally return to the game for a while for this mode assuming there aren’t wipes ever. That’s my issue with the game. I don’t like losing all progress every few months. I don’t want to play the game enough at once to reach the end game in that period. I only payed for the standard edition though, and I sure as hell am not paying $250 for this.

DarylDutch,

Look into the SPtarkov mod. It is regretfully only single player but you can just relax and sometimes do a mission or 2. It also has mod support to remove the things about the game you find tiresome.

Every now and again I fire it up and play a map or 2. I have had the same character for over a year now.

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.

That said, allowing code into your spreadsheet takes away a lot of barriers to programming.

ColeSloth, do games w World of Warcraft boss says Microsoft is happy to 'let Blizzard be Blizzard,' but I'm not sure that's entirely true

Article didn’t really have any purpose to it.

haui_lemmy, do gaming w Game developers come together at GDC for a 'GDScream' to vent rage at the state of the industry: 'It feels hard to be here and pretend like everything is fine'

Piracy until layoffs mean the company makes a loss and the C suite doesnt get paid at all

Also

Pirate any game that has gambling mechanics paid with cash forever

Gabu,

Also, support games made with passion and love (even if technically means supporting a big corporation). Legends of Runeterra is an example of a game that absolutely hit the nail on the head (there are zero predatory systems, despite being a collectible card game!), and now has been punished for it.

Cagi,

Honestly, especially games made by big, publicly traded companies. They make games based on marketing algorithms. Buying good games only improves the algorithm.

Yup

ITT: A lot of corporate simping

Warl0k3,

ITT: a lot of people worried that one of the few examples of corporate-provided services that isn’t a flaming pile of anti-consumer profit-before-everything garbage is going to be punished for not being that via political ratfucking.

habanhero, do games w AI in big budget games is inevitable, say dev vets from Assassin's Creed and Everquest 2: 'Developers hate it … the money is still going to drive absolutely everybody to do it'

AI can be a great tool if used properly to enhance human work but companies seem hell-bent to instead have just AI do all the work, cutting human beings out completely and “saving costs”. Recipe for disaster.

spiderkle, do games w Cities: Skylines 2 devs warn players of performance problems: 'we have not achieved the benchmark we targeted'
@spiderkle@lemmy.ca avatar

Usually that means: We didn’t hire enough devs for optimization, didn’t allocate enough time for it and prioritized marketing.

Nighed,
@Nighed@sffa.community avatar

Their marketing has been awful though. They had a great build up with all the deep dive videos… Then nothing for a month?!?

I originally thought it was going to come out a month ago, just after the end of the videos, then was shocked to find out it was still a month away.

I guess they wanted some time so they could address any feedback they got?

AbsolutePain,

How is that awful? The deep dive videos are all we need to understand generally what the new things are, and why we should be looking forward to it. Isn’t that all marketing can do?

Nighed,
@Nighed@sffa.community avatar

Yeh, but then there was nothing for a month!

Normally they build the hype up to the release, I have actually un-hyped coming up to this release.

EncryptKeeper,

I mean what were you expecting a month from release besides like maybe one additional trailer? The original trailer exists and I’m sure they’re paying to run that somewhere. And once someone sees it they can go watch the dev videos.

Nighed,
@Nighed@sffa.community avatar

It’s probably more bad planning then, shouldn’t they be peaking the hype just before launch?

EncryptKeeper,

If they cared about peaking hype they wouldn’t have told us about the performance problems. But frankly they don’t need to hype CS2 or even sell big at release and they’re well aware of it. Games like the latest annual COD have to sell as much as possible at release because they need players to fill the servers, they need to have an established player base to sell the battle passes to after a month, and the game has a maximum shelf life of a year, before it’s abandoned for the next game. But CS on the other hand doesn’t need to do any of that. It has virtually zero competition so it has a captive audience of everyone who likes modern city builder games, and it doesn’t matter when you buy it, because they aren’t making another one for 5-8 years. They know exactly how much money they’re going to make from this game and they’ll get yours too, whether it’s at release or a year from now.

To put it in perspective, COD games are made fast, and have to sell fast. Since CS1 released, there have been TEN Call of Duty games. In that same timespan were about to get ONE new Cities game.

Nighed,
@Nighed@sffa.community avatar

That’s a fair point

EncryptKeeper,

And boom, they just today dropped the “one more trailer” I was talking about lol.

spiderkle,
@spiderkle@lemmy.ca avatar

true, but that doesn’t mean it was cheap.

Endorkend, do games w A heroic Starfield modder just straight-up deleted those repetitive temple 'puzzles' from the game

Now yank out the rest of the boring Starfuckers plot. The game is worse because of the main "story" (and NG+ shite).
