ampersandrew, do games w The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

If you miss that old style of game, that’s fine, but there are probably tons of ways to morph the RTS genre that solves its old problems, finds it more success, and still scratches that itch. I’m quite fond of Cannon Brawl, and Tooth and Tail had its issues but was on the right track.

TheDemonBuer, do gaming w Fallout 4's most popular mods are now ones that remove Bethesda's disastrous 'next gen' update
@TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world avatar

I wish I hadn’t installed the update. I was hoping it would make the game run better on the steam deck, but it’s actually worse. I think they’ve increased the graphical fidelity, but it’s come at the expense of the battery. I found a work around to get the game launcher to come up so I could lower the graphics settings to improve battery life, but that doesn’t fix the bugs. They seem to have gotten worse with the update. Never change, Bethesda. Never change.

It actually fixed a game breaking crash on Xbox so I’m not gonna complain.

I’m just happy to have the wasteland back

arefx, do gaming w 'Marketing's dead, and I can back this s**t up': Larian's publishing director says players 'just want to be spoken to, and they don't want to be bamboozled'

I’m at least an average intelligence guy, not a genius, but I’m not some compelete idiot. Big game companies treat me like an absolute dumb ass so I don’t bother with their trash (the games are almost always mediocre anyway full of MTX). Just sell me a full working product at a fair price and then charge me for an expansion down the road if you want. Don’t nickel and dime me or promise me.shit I know you can’t deliver. Just talk to me like a human lol

nytrixus, do games w A Konami code variant in Castlevania has been discovered after a quarter of a century

The only reason it’s been that long is because the Castlevania games on the N64 were trash.

Wow the trailer in the article for the project was fantastic. What a great project.

thorbot, do games w 'There's almost nobody left': CEO of Baldur's Gate 3 dev Swen Vincke says the D&D team he initially worked with is gone, due to Hasbro layoffs

CEO is aptly named, at least.

naticus,

I kept trying to figure out the joke about the name Swen Vincke and was failing. Cocks. It was right there in front of me everyone. It was Cocks.

_haha_oh_wow_, do gaming w 'Today is the end of Steam': Argentina and Turkey floored by new Steam price hikes as high as 2900%

I’ll cry for you, Argentina.

nottheengineer, do gaming w 'Today is the end of Steam': Argentina and Turkey floored by new Steam price hikes as high as 2900%

It was already discovered that that was a big and game devs need to fix it manually for now.

This has been planned for months and every Turkish friend I talked to said “if you want anything from Steam before the end of the month I’ll gift it to you, just send the $3” so no, it’s not a bug.

In my experience that loophole has not worked for a long time. I have never been able to redeem gifts from friends in a low-cost region while I'm outside of the country. Even though my Steam account is also based in that same region.

Fedizen, (edited ) do games w 505 Games' parent company lays off 30% of its workforce, says gamers really only want sequels so that's what it's going to make

sequels of what?

My highest play time game is probably minecraft, and my recent go-to is slay the spire.

Sequels are seen as safer profits (there is an existing market) so they get more investment and more investment tends to make better games.

This doesn’t mean its what people want, it just means that name recognition means its cheaper to market a hit game with previous versions acting as a marketing boost. Its a feedback loop.

TryingToEscapeTarkov, do games w SteamOS will be coming to other handhelds before you can install it on your PC 'because right now, it's very, very tuned for Steam Deck' | PC Gamer

“Coming to other handhelds” “very tuned for steam deck” Why are these conflicting things in the same headline?

curiousaur,

It’s tuned to the architecture. AMD APUs.

Goronmon, (edited )

It’s tuned for a specific hardware platform right now. Choosing specific hardware platforms for support is just an extensions of that.

However the “PC” platform is basically an amalgamation of any possible hardware combination that currently exists, and is a whole different target for a project like this.

Ashtear, do games w Why the original, 1999 version of EverQuest is still one of the best MMOs to play today

It’s tempting, but I know it would be too much of a time suck. Especially pre-Planes of Power era, after which time spent traveling drops dramatically.

I can’t imagine anyone unfamiliar with the game dropping into one of these fan servers, though. Bit of a reputation for not everyone being the nicest people, especially towards new players.

Not only that, but the game has a steep and punishing learning curve.
