Ilikepornaddict, do gaming w Larian CEO's advice about origin characters has thrown my Baldur's Gate 3 playthrough plans into disarray

Seems like a decent system to me. Have a recommendation, but leave players the choice.

givesomefucks, do pcgaming w Cyberpunk and Witcher developer announces it's cutting 'roughly 9%' of its staff over the next 7 months

This makes sense tho, the big cyperpunk expansion is out in 2 months. So once that happens they won’t need as much staff.

As their next release approaches, they’ll probably staff up again.

So the story and choices are different with origin characters?

teraflopsweat,

At least to some degree, yeah. Each origin character has more to their background, different choices, etc that you can’t get through a play through where they are your companion

ono,

I don’t know how it is in this game, but in their previous game, each of the origin characters brought unique goals and quests into play, on top of the usual backstories.

AnonStoleMyPants,

Yeah in divinity the origin characters were great, and their storylines fun. I kinda hoped BG3 would have the same because I really wanted to play an origin character with some cool sub-plot that we uncover while playing the main story.

Unless it comes with the old fishing controller (and that controller is also compatible with the Big sections of Sonic Adventure), I'm not interested. Half the fun of fishing games is using a goofy controller.

Just entered my REAL email address because I love corporate marketing emails!

Should I /s?

That's what the Unsubscribe button is for in the email, after the promotion is over. Or setting up a filter in your email to dump everything from Sega into its own folder.

who the fuck even wants cross play this badly? minecraft bedrock exists seemingly solely for cross play , and anytime i play minecraft with someone they specifically want to play java. i’m convinced the largest market share of cross play users is young folks with no real control over what play they play on.

Lojcs,

What does cross play have to do with this?

sugar_in_your_tea,

That’s the excuse those companies give for it. There’s nothing stopping someone like Microsoft from making “Bedrock” and “Java” Minecraft versions play together. Just establish an API and make separate clients if needed.

Lojcs,

Bedrock and java have different behaviors in many things. Not to mention different mod scenes. Those two are very much different games imo.

But still I don’t see what that has to do with always online. Crossplay doesn’t need you to be always online

sugar_in_your_tea,

And those separate behaviors would be minimized if they supported cross play between Java and Bedrock.

As for cross play and always online, you’re absolutely right that it doesn’t require it, but it makes things a little simpler. If a game requires you to login with the server on startup, that check only has to happen once, instead of happening when you engage with the multiplayer mode. It also makes it so the game can integrate social aspects pretty easily (friend X is online, do you want to play together?).

So if a game offers multiplayer as it’s intended main gameplay, then it can make sense to require always online.

That said, I still hate it. I would prefer companies be forced to support offline play if they offer a significant single player experience. I know it’s something I consider when buying a game (I play with my Steam Deck offline quite frequently), and ideally game stores would have similar requirements as well.

Aww man… I loved PayDay 2 and was stoked for the 3rd, but now I don’t have much desire to get it…

And there it is. Had such hopes for this one

MoonRocketeer, do gaming w Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site

I still think it’s crazy that the same guy who created Wikipedia also founded Fandom, and I believe is still involved. Considering what Wikipedia is and its utility, it almost seems like an incompatible ideology to have anything to do with both at the same time. I guess he’s got to make money somehow…

I can’t put into words how much disgust I feel for Fandom wikis. Apparently there is an alternative front-end for it, but I still need to try it out.

TrontheTechie, do gaming w Official Minecraft wiki editors so furious at Fandom's 'degraded' functionality and popups they're overwhelmingly voting to leave the site

Tell me the irony isn’t lost on anyone else that this website article about users being frustrated by min maxing profits and inorganic design language is designed exactly like the kind of site that they are talking about.

weksa,

I clicked just to see. You’re absolutely right.

TrontheTechie,

I originally tried posting a picture, but I think my instance dropped support for right now because of the recent attacks.

Edit: I got the picture posted for those who don’t want phone cancer. https://i.imgur.com/crPuuIJ.jpg

Oh, it was annoying me recently, so I turned off JavaScript, and it’s great again.
I’m very glad, that people finally call those sites on their bullshit, and hopefully reclaim the internet.

EDIT: removed stray ‘with’

UprisingVoltage,

Yeah, me too. It’s so much better with js off

Stardew Valley did the right thing by self hosting a wiki, makes it both official and independent

Smokeless7048,

Several have, including the old school RuneScape wiki!

Now there’s two, and one is far more content full

Going to Fandom is like visiting a annoying dying person because they hold the hidden information.
