DoucheBagMcSwag, do games w After the catastrophe of Concord Sony is reportedly cancelling other projects including a God of War live service game

cancelled God of War sequel

“That’s bad!”

Live service

“That’s good!”

PieMePlenty, do games w Diablo 1 and 2 devs secure $4.5 million for a new ARPG: 'We're going back to what made those early Diablo games feel so awesome but taking them in some cool, fresh directions'

I thought OG Diablo devs made Torchlight, which is an excellent game.

Gamoc,

The first two are great. The latest one is shite.

PieMePlenty,

T1 was enough to scratch an itch. T2 was the complete experience. Never tried T3. I remembe they made it an MMO at first but changed it later? No clue.

Gamoc,

I agree with you completely about the first two. I actually reviewed the third.

@icecreamtaco@lemmy.world avatar

T3 was supposed to be a microtransaction trash game. They changed their minds during development but it came out weird/bad as a result.

Jessica,

The same composer worked on both as well

unexposedhazard, 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

Come back when you can argue without the “but the kids” line of thinking.

Nima, do games w Morrigan isn't just my favourite Dragon Age character, she's the greatest fantasy RPG companion of all time
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

she is canonically one of the most bratty, self serving characters in the series.

she acts like she’s hot shit until her plans go wrong, then she cowers and freaks out. she’s absolutely obsessed with getting her way. she tries to play like emotions are weakness, then instantly caves to her own because if its her emotions its different somehow. “Oh no the consequences of my actions?!”

Morrigan isn’t even as cool as Flemeth was. She’s a shitty power-grabbing dick who stomps her feet when she doesn’t get what she wants and behaves like everyone should worship the ground she walks on.

how tf is she the greatest RPG companion of all time, exactly? she’s not even a great companion in Origins.

GBU_28,

Sounds like the perfect favorite character for the internet

Nima,
@Nima@leminal.space avatar

people try to play the character off as “sassy”, but they’re honestly just blinded by tiddies imho.

seems to be a common affliction. lol

Stovetop,

There’s probably a reason why people apparently like her. Or two, actually.

GaMEChld, do games w Nintendo's lawsuit against Palworld isn't just bad for the industry, it's bad for Nintendo

I for one am a lifelong Nintendo customer that has finally decided to boycott them moving forward. Plenty of other companies to support.

“Gabe was quoted as saying, ‘Yesss, another yacht for me!’”

Edit: Oh sorry, when he’s our billionaire he’s cool, right?

PlasticExistence,

Uh, excuse me, but Gabe buys submarines thankyouverymuch

Kecessa,
tee9000,

Your name contains the name gabe.

Who is bending to corporate interests NOW??

Kecessa,

Preach brother, fuck all billionaires!

drunkpostdisaster,

As far as billionaires go it could be worse.

garretble,
@garretble@lemmy.world avatar

For sure.

But the nerds around here put him on a GIIIANT pedestal.

It’s OK to make fun of Gabe, guys, he doesn’t care about you as he tries to figure out which of his six or seven yachts to ride around on this weekend.

baatliwala,

Sounds like you care about the nerds more than they care about him? No one even mentioned him in this thread so what are you wafflin on about?

tee9000,

To be impartial, he has a fishing yacht, hospital yacht, research yacht. Seems like these are probably floating businesses? Anyone know in what capacity he uses them?

Does bezos lease out his yacht to customers to help pay for itself or are these literally just sitting and being maintained for personal use? I guess i dont really know much about yachts.

rdri,

Steam getting better isn’t linked to anyone becoming a billionaire. That sentiment sounds like people can’t stop looking for things to blame Valve for.

Is it too difficult to accept that every single company failed in competing with Steam? I’d say they didn’t even try their best (especially Epic). Must’ve assumed that just serving a website with a web app is all they needed to get as rich as Gabe.

Guillemot said the same thing in a subsequent trading update call with analysts.

So stockholders demanded it lol

overload, (edited ) do gaming w The eagerness to grave dance on unpopular games has become a bad habit

Bad headline but reasonable argument within. Concord probably failed for the reasons people outlined, sure.

The point is that peoples fingers aren’t quite as on the pulse of what will make something successful as what we give ourselves credit for. We attribute reasons for something’s success or failure after the fact.

Personally, I don’t know what makes a hero shooter successful or not. A game like this could be going gangbusters for some reason in 6 months time and I would probably not understand why. I say that as someone who’s been an avid gamer over the last 30 years.

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

I have to try it again, the first time I tried I didn’t understand anything or what I was suppose to be doing.

Shiggles,

If my experience is anything to go by, you mug everybody you see, steal everything in their wallet to “identify them”, interrogate them while vomiting drunk in their apartment, and maybe solve a murder or two on accident.

Makhno,

So this is just an American cop sim? Minus the spousal abuse

bionicjoey,

There is a tutorial mission to show you some of the basics.

WaterSword, do games w Doom Eternal's new official mod support includes 'the very same tools' used to create the game
@WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Cool to see behind the scenes at modern IdTech tools

Dark_Arc,
@Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

I wish they released the engine like they used to. IdTech whatever version we’re on now has to be epic.

WaterSword,
@WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

It’s kind of awesome to think every call of duty game, valve game and Id software game still all use an engine that originated from quake!

Dark_Arc,
@Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

I don’t know if they really do… I mean they’re derived from it, but it’s pretty unlikely any of the quake code is in CS2 or the latest call of duty.

Quake is definitely a legend though just for creating the PvP FPS scene.

WaterSword,
@WaterSword@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I mean if you trace it back far enough, the engines used are in fact forks of the quake engine (IdTech 2). I’m sure there’s some simple system somewhere that’s still the same in all engines all these years later

@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

Fast forward to today, it’s kind of terrifying that the proprietors of DirectX effectively own the poster-child Vulkan game engine for both performance & visual fidelity.

thesporkeffect, do gaming w Xbox executives just cannot give a straight answer to questions about Tango Gameworks

Left unsaid: the developers were starting to ask for more money and creative freedom than MS was willing to give, and had to be taught a lesson.

Also the market demands sacrifices.

is there any evidence of this? It would give MS an excuse, which makes me wonder

BasketKees,

If that were true, ‘No’ is also an answer. Total Annihilation does not seem like the only option and certainly not an option to use as a lesson. Can’t teach a dead pupil.

Dagnet, do games w FromSoftware says Elden Ring's popular Seamless Co-op mod is 'definitely not something we actively oppose,' and may even 'consider ideas like that with our future games'

They should ‘consider’ the ultrawide mod too

Cowbee, do gaming w Casper Van Dien is loving the Starship Troopers renaissance but still finds it mind-boggling some take it at face value

I’ve seen this a few times, ca you explain this to me? Is it a way of talking about people that consider themselves capital G gamers without having them come in and ruin the conversation with whining or gamergate bs?

Cowbee,
@Cowbee@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s just pretending Gamer is a slur, that’s it.

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Gotcha, thanks!

Zehzin,

Zahille7,

I support this movement

TrousersMcPants,

It’s a joke about writing slurs and censoring them with an asterisk, implying Gamer is a slur

NOT_RICK,
@NOT_RICK@lemmy.world avatar

Ah gotcha, thanks. I will say, I don’t like being called a gamer because I don’t want to get lumped in with the whiny chuds so I get it
