Someone from Take-two leadership said that? Are they ill with something? That’s the most sensible statement i’ve heard from them in ages

Fiivemacs,

statements mean nothing…prove it. I don’t listen to anything any company says, they only lie.

produce non trash, and make it affordable or else I’ll continue to just ignore they exist.

OK when have they produced trash? BioShock rules so wtf is your crusade (which i generally like) doing on this post rn?

Theyre literally talking to the people and they’re like - were taking the time to make the game good last one was good and we want to keep it that way."

So yeah let’s consider the obvious turning of that pendulum (quality and crap being more profitable and thus in a way easier to produce in the system we are stuck with being in)and be reasonably hopeful for a reasonable reason for a change

this probably u rn -> 😒 🤔🤔🤔🤔 😏 -------------> 😩😆

Much love haha 😎

Glytch,

OK when have they produced trash?

Borderlands 3 comes to mind as do both of the Tales from the Borderlands games. There’s been a few misses in the 2K sports line up as well.

Let’s see if they can do a new game without resorting to returning to Rapture like they did with Infinite and Burial at Sea.

Aah yeah BL3 was… Well in retrospect the dlc structure hurt it the most, glaring design there wtf were those executives freaking on?

Fair points 👍

Fingers crossed 🤞

I’m having a great time with Borderlands 3 right now. They did so much to improve the feel of those games with that one. Standards are incredibly high if that’s trash.

TheEighthDoctor,

Kerbal Space Program 2 was going fine until they put their hands on it

arnitbier, (edited )

Oh great now that guys rage makes way more sense I’m seeing a legit pattern now… Sorry I just didn’t want to google a controversy… Thanks for the info 👍👍

Edit: Oh God its so clear to me now 💀

Hoping BioShock makes it out alive

arnitbier, (edited )

That’s the ticket right there, right in the caring. That should be the way going forward. Please. There will be more videogames eventually so let’s make things WORTH our time, both theirs to spend creating them and ours to spend playing them. Let’s make sure its worth all that collective effort yes?

Aren‘t the original devs gone or am I misremembering?

chemical_cutthroat, (edited )
@chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world avatar

I think the original devs left after the second one. The third was a new crew. I could be misremembering too, though.

Edit: I was mistaken as everyone has pointed out. It makes a lot more sense that way.

caut_R,

If that‘s the case then I guess I shouldn‘t be as sceptic cause I liked Infinite quite a bit

denial,

Wasn’t it the first and infinite. And Bioshock 2 was someone else?

fartsparkles, (edited )

Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite were by Irrational Games (2K Boston). Bioshock 2 was by 2K Marin.

Ken Levine shut down the studio after Infinite as they disliked the stress and scale of development - missing the days of small development teams.

That was back in 2014. Levine’s new studio, set up immediately after the closure of Irrational, has yet to release a game but supposedly their first project, Judas, is not too far from completion (it was meant to be out this year in March but, so far, there’s no news).

Regrettable_incident,
@Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah Judas looks interesting.

Skullgrid,
@Skullgrid@lemmy.world avatar

vice versa.

BS2 was 2K australia and a rehash. Infinite was the Og team with ken levine

MangioneDontMiss,

yes because they got laid off. and by original devs, I mean the devs originally working on bioshock 4, not the previous titles - they are long long gone.

I wonder if he found his wallet in the game?

He actually tried to buy up the whole landfill so he can continue to search. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/14/uk/james-howells-landfill-bitcoin-gbr-intl-scli

SlartyBartFast,

Jokes on him, a time traveller beat him off to it

Tollana1234567,

its probably damaged beyond repair, if it got wet, or chemicals got into the drive, assuming its there. plus decaying trash creates a ton of HEAT.

Bummer.

You can still buy bitcoin though, just wait for the next dip and get right in.

Inucune,

To the core! Diamond hands! Don’t buy until it is pennies so you make a fortune in the upswing!

This guy not only didn’t find his bitcoins, but now other people will make more money off of his story than he has. Oof.

I would hope he finds it several years from now and it’s unrecoverable, just because that would be funny. But I don’t actually hope that as I have seen nothing that says he deserves that. It was already kinda sad when he started looking, now it’s just depressing.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

That would indeed be funny. So he can just move on with his life and move on.

Mac,

I heard he was abusive to his girlfriend or something. I hope he burns.

Tollana1234567,

hes desperate for that 800+million, he will spend the rest of his life doing it. if it buried under tons of trash, he will never find it.

Tollana1234567,

he couldve capatilize on this, and sold the game himself.

Ilixtze, do games w Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader dev Owlcat comes out swinging in support of Stop Killing Games: 'Every player deserves lasting access to what they’ve paid for'

I like this guys because they are making an Expanse game. Are their Warhammer games fun?

redhorsejacket,

They have made one Warhammer game, Rogue Trader. It is a party based, turn based, RPG based upon a tabletop RPG ruleset. It’s quite good, though I admit that I play it on story mode difficulty cause I can’t be bothered to learn another RPG system right now, and idgaf about build crafting. With that being said, it’s a positively ENORMOUS game, with extraordinary amounts of optional content to interact with. If you go on expecting Space Marine 2, or Dawn of War, you’re likely going to be very upset. However, if you are prepared for something which apes the old Infinity Engine games of the 90s, or games inspired by the same, such as Pillars of Eternity, you’ll likely enjoy yourself.

Yeah, if someone is going to lose access to a game that I bought. It’s going to be me.

Katana314,

accidentally drops rare copy of indie game into a sewer grate

aw, fuck. I can’t believe I’ve done this.

HuntressHimbo, do games w Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader dev Owlcat comes out swinging in support of Stop Killing Games: 'Every player deserves lasting access to what they’ve paid for'

I liked this game a lot when I first started playing. Now in the back half of the game its just disappointing. Desyncs, crashes, and uneven balance all over the place. It has its charms but not something I would recommend anymore. Good to see they are on the right side of this though

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe,

Second time playing through, played before Lex Arbites and picked it up again after.

Genuinely, only had 1 crash on this run, maybe 3 on the last. All happened on Qetza Temer. But the uneven balance I can agree with. I’m playing through on the difficulty above medium (whatever it’s called) and now that I’m in the 4th act, sometimes they knock a party member in the first turn, sometimes my arch-militant will kick one guy down and stun him, shoot 7 more and kill 4, Heroic Action, more shooting, boss already compromised and surrounded by my melee and Cassia is making EVERYBODY whack him down.

Love it. It frustrates me. If it wasn’t Warhammer, it would only be a 6.5-7/10, but it’s so jam packed with lore tie ins that if you like the universe it’s at least a solid 8-9 for the love they put into it and continual update/community feedback. But that’s just like, my opinion, man

Whitebrow,

Not sure if this applies to you, but when it just released early on, there were difficulties between versions and save games from earlier ones didn’t play nice after updates, so I struggled to get through act 2, but then I disabled the auto update and played through it pretty much flawlessly, granted I had to start a new save file.

HuntressHimbo,

It hasn’t been the worst on my solo play through, mostly on a group one. There are a variety of issues that are workable, like how you will frequently start combats separated unless your group has the discipline of saints, or how one character will literally never be able to join combat because the terrain is impassable for him and him alone once initiative starts. These things we dealt with, but when combined with hours of lost progress from crashes and desyncs we threw in the towel

theUwUhugger, do games w Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader dev Owlcat comes out swinging in support of Stop Killing Games: 'Every player deserves lasting access to what they’ve paid for'

A really good game, but god fucking dammit why does it take an hour to clear a map?

All Warhammer game devs try not to be based challenge (impossible)

In January 2019, Tencent acquired about a 36% stake in Fatshark in a deal worth approximately 500 million kr (around US$56 million). Later, in January 2021, it was reported that Tencent had acquired a majority stake in the company valued at around 2.2 billion sek (around US$260 million).

Truscape,

Dammit. Always a catch after all… ;-;

@Menschlicher_Fehler@feddit.org avatar

That one really stings, because Darktide is a damn good game.

Sylvartas,

I was gonna say, I love fatshark’s games but unfortunately they’ve been pretty fucking far from based lately

Oh wow… an anonymous complaint that is complete nonsense… whatever will they do. I at least expect the EU to correctly dismiss this pathetic attempt.
