Rhotisserie, do games w 5 years after shutting down, MOBA hero shooter Gigantic is coming back

Hell yeah, I loved this game! Reaching the end stage and watching as your giant opened up the enemy giant for the final push was always epic.

Hope it stays alive longer this time.

Nommer, do gaming w Palworld’s success is partially born from Pokémon fans’ discontent

No, it’s success is because it’s extremely addicting. Especially for people with ADHD because there’s so many small and easily achieveable dopamine hits that’s easy to get lost for hours.

toxicbubble420, do gaming w Capcom adds new DRM to old PC games, raising worries over mods

banning mods on single player games 🤔

KyoStarr, do gaming w Twitch cuts 35% of its staff, and now more than 500 people are out of work
@KyoStarr@kbin.social avatar

Unfortunately, we still have work to do to rightsize our company and I regret having to share that we are taking the painful step to reduce our headcount by just over 500 people across Twitch.

Absolutely hate that "rightsizing" is a term. It's called downsizing and it will have negative impacts on Twitch users, Twitch as a platform, and the 500 Twitch employees that will be out of a job now.

Maybe Twitch should be "rightsizing" CEO and Executive Suite salaries?

z3rOR0ne, do gaming w Nvidia’s AI-powered NPCs are getting better, but still sound uncanny

I’m just waiting for my consciousness to be copied, uploaded, and enslaved for a hellish eternity. Like that one video game/tv show/movie/novel/short story that totally isn’t a warning of things to come /s.

obinice, do games w Microsoft Flight Sim players have the world at their fingertips; now they want a time machine, too
@obinice@lemmy.world avatar

You know what would be amazing? If we had a time machine in flight sim thay let us fly over reasonably accurate recreations of towns and cities throughout history, imagine flying over flanders fields, or London in the 1700s!

(My keyboard autocorrected ‘flight sim’ to ‘douche son’ I don’t know why my god)

p03locke, do games w Kongregate, Digital Bros. cut jobs in a growing wave of video game industry layoffs
@p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

This has nothing to do with Control, so I’m not sure why it’s in the thumbnail.

Great news!

ShinkanTrain, (edited ) do games w Final Fantasy 1-6 Pixel Remaster games 20% off through this weekend

I’d argue there are better ways to play all of these except maybe FFIII (Japanese FFIII, not VI)

Do note that I’m a weird person though, if you just want to play the games, those versions are fine and effortless

I can’t speak for the other, but in my opinion the Woolsey Uncensored version is the best way to play FFVI.

ShinkanTrain,

I use the Woolsey translation as part of Dancing Mad, which compiles a lot of stuff and gives you the option to use MSU1 for CD quality tracks.

I use the Synthetic Origins tracks by Matthew Valente which tries to be as close to the original as possible while using uncompressed samples.

Great tip, I’ll look into it for my next playthrough!

I don’t like that they stripped out all of the extra content that the other releases added.

BenVimes,

As I said in another topic, this is the only way to play FF3 in its original form (or at least close to it) and in a language other than Japanese, outside of emulation. The DS remake is fine, but it is definitely a different experience.

DoucheBagMcSwag, do gaming w Call of Duty finally comes to Game Pass with Modern Warfare 3 release

And I still won’t play it. Not after how the campaign ended

SteposVenzny, do gaming w New Nintendo Switch accessory might confirm some leaked details about Switch 2

New peripherals coming out late in a system’s life isn’t unusual.

theangriestbird,

New first-party peripherals, with less than a year left on the console in question? Idk, the only other one that comes to mind is PS4 back button attachment, and that was also puzzling, then and still.

SteposVenzny,

I went to look for examples and didn’t find as many as I expected. It’s not unheard of but you’re right, it’s notably uncommon.

CharlesReed, do gaming w Polygon - Was Bioshock Infinite good?
@CharlesReed@kbin.run avatar

I think the main drawback for me was how unlikable I found Booker and Elizabeth to be. It didn't help that Elizabeth would start talking every time I tried to listen to a voxophone. I remember having to take a break from the game after attempting to listen to one 3 or 4 times, but she wouldn't stop talking.
I really like the gameplay though. I'll boot up Infinite every once in a while to play Clash in the Clouds.

Kory, (edited ) do gaming w Polygon - Was Bioshock Infinite good?
@Kory@lemmy.ml avatar

The game itself was for me mid - not good not bad, but the ending? I can’t believe no one mentioned it yet, that was the most impressive ending I’ve experienced in a game ever. Without spoilers, for those who played it, the piano notes and then darkness, I couldn’t believe it, it was so good.

Luella, do gaming w 5 years after shutting down, MOBA hero shooter Gigantic is coming back
@Luella@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I’m crying I loved this game so much, even enough to pilfer through the convoluted mess it is to join a private server lobby to continue playing. Ahh I’m so excited!
