kipo, do gaming w EA re-release The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 on PC as DLC-stuffed Legacy editions

High seas is still the best way to experience these games!

apotheotic, do gaming w Celeste devs cancel lush platformer Earthblade to focus on smaller-scale projects

Copying my response to a similar thread

I’m absolutely heartbroken but I respect their decision and it sounds like the appropriate way forward

Celeste came out of their approach before - I’m sure more incredible games can come out of this approach again.

PushButton, do games w Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell

It’s not the customers like stories or not; it’s customers want good stories.

If that guy’s aiming is that bad at reading the market, it might be just a good thing he is not going the story path.

It sucks for the people being layoff though.

    Haven’t expected anything for years. It’s all the same COD upgrade, sports title updates, and first person shooters since like 2005

    I can’t help but think of that scene in Grandma’s Boy where JP is working on his game and it just shows a 3D animated model doing a walking animation and literally falling apart like a crash test dummy while he whines “WHY ISN’T THIS WORKING?!”

    birdcannon, do games w Balatro is getting just a little bit easier in the next patch, and you can try it now

    Stoked for these changes. As much as I’m loving the game, it sucks to lose constantly in the high stakes runs due to pure rng of only being offered garbage.

    Still keep firing up runs despite the rng cause it’s that fun, so yeah, stoked.

    infamousta, (edited ) do gaming w Critically acclaimed Dragon's Dogma 2 hits "mostly negative" on Steam after players raze it for microtransactions

    The original dragons dogma had poor quality of life features and its arguably a large part of the appeal. No fast travel, no multiple saves. If you didn’t like your little ai character you had to advance pretty far to change it (and the same with fast travel, it sort of existed and was a surprisingly cool unique system but you had to get through a lot of the game for it). I’d compare it in a lot of ways to the first dark souls as far as not following gaming industry trends.

    I was hoping dragons dogma 2 was more of the same honestly, I don’t think I care if travel stones can be purchased or whatever. Is it a bad game for those that liked the first one?

    Been playing it since release and I have to say I quite like it. The mtx is less intrusive than Dragon Age Origins’ DLC (no mention in game at all versus “There’s a person bleeding out on the road, if you want to help him please go to the store page”).

    So far, the game is a buttery smooth 60 fps at 4k max graphics + FSR3 w/o ray tracing except for inside the capital city (running 7800x3d with a 7900xtx). The only graphics complaint I have is the FSR implementation is pretty bad, with small amounts of ghosting under certain lighting conditions. There’s also a noticeable amount of input lag compared to the first game: not game breaking, but if you do a side-by-side comparison it’s pretty obvious.

    Sure the game has its issues, but right now this looks like something that I enjoy. Games don’t need to be masterworks to be fun (my favorite games are some old niche JRPGs that have been absolutely demolished by reviewers at the time), and right now I think it’s money well spent.

    infamousta,

    I’ll most likely end up picking it up and I’m glad it runs well. The reception has been wild to me. I loved all the jankiness of dragon’s dogma but I feel like a lot of people are buying this sequel and not knowing what to expect

    TassieTosser,

    I think the hate is them essentially selling a difficulty slider.

    sigmaklimgrindset, do games w Ending Dead Cells updates is a "marketing stunt" to "leave room" for Windblown, claims former lead designer

    What’s worse is that it seems like Evil Empire is going to get cut off of the revenue from Dead Cells because Motion Twins owns the IP. EE has been working on the game since after the first DLC expansion (1.5 or 6 I can’t remember), and the majority of the content and expansions are done by them at this point, not Motion Twin.

    I am interested to see what Evil Empire has in store, as they announced they are working with two long dormant IP, and they did just work with Konami on the Castlevania expansion of Dead Cells…

    cottonmon, (edited ) do games w Capcom is worried that mods “offensive to public order and morals” will ‘tarnish’ the rep of their PC games
    @cottonmon@lemmy.world avatar

    I can’t help but feel this stance is because of a recent fuck up where a person hosting a tournament didn’t turn off his nude Chun-Li mod while streaming it.

    Sir_Simon_Spamalot,

    That would be an issue of moderation, tho, not the mods themselves.

    What a shame, I wish they had some spare money to pour into elite. It’s a great game that deserves some love.
