ieightpi, do games w Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers is a gorgeous free SNES-style arcade racer, built using Doom Legacy

I like the fact that Eggman is not the villain in this. I’d like to see more of this in future Sonic games. We’ve seen plenty of times where other videogame mascots have teamed up with their arch rivals to stop a greater threat.

Daxtron2, do games w No Rest For The Wicked's first hotfix addresses durability and repair cost complaints

Remember when games would have free demo/betas to iron out shit before releasing?

I believe you can get a refund all the way until two weeks after 1.0, so we kind of still do. But also, I can’t think of any game beta that took iterative feedback to core systems the way today’s early access games do. Perhaps because more games are very systems-driven today by comparison.

Daxtron2,

Beta isn’t for feedback on core systems, it’s for performance and stability fixes. Alpha is for core systems.

Both of those terms mean whatever the developer wants them to mean.

Daxtron2,

Sure but words have meaning

Not sure what you are referring to. The refund policy on Steam is the same for any games, early access or not. The game’s version number or finished state makes no difference.

Maybe you are thinking of the pre-purchase situation, where you can refund up to 14 days after the game’s release, instead of the date of purchase.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, that’s it. You’re right. In which case, never buy an early access game unless its current state is worth the money right now.

Doof,

No? I’ve been gaming for thirty years and no I don’t remember demos being used for that.

Daxtron2,

I guess you didn’t play them then ¯⁠\⁠⁠༼⁠ ⁠•́⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ ⁠༽⁠⁠/⁠¯

Doof,

Demos were not used that way

Daxtron2,

Overwatch, Halo 3, CoD: world at war, every World of Warcraft release including vanilla, Rift, all of these had betas before release that identified significant technical issues that were fixed before their full releases. Those are just the few I can think of off the top of my head.

Doof,

DEMO

Daxtron2,

My original comment said demos/betas, maybe read next time?

Doof,

Kettle meet black. Look what I said the first time you dork. I picked up on the Demos part of your comment and that’s not how they work. So that’s your comprehension not mine.

monkeyseemonkeydong,

The game is in early access, so that shit can be ironed out before release.

Daxtron2,

My bad I totally missed the EA flag lmao

Aatube, do games w Social MMO Sky: Children Of The Light is heading to Steam early access in April

Not sure how exactly it's a live service game

Social multiplayer is like the core of the game, plus seasons

one and done

There's also a prestige system

FlashMobOfOne, do gaming w Critically acclaimed Dragon's Dogma 2 hits "mostly negative" on Steam after players raze it for microtransactions
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve got 15 hours in it and have played all weekend.

There are some performance issues, but overall, I’ve had a blast playing it.

All of the game content is accessible for the sticker price you paid, so yeah, I couldn’t care less about the microtransaction aspect of things.

SplashJackson, do games w Deep Rock Galactic season 5 will add new missions, DLSS3 and a way to play past seasons

Seasons? I’m confused, I thought this was a video game… is there a tv show for it as well?

TheLadyAugust,

This game has Battle pass seasons that rotate new content. They’re all free and included with the game of course. It’s a good way to keep people coming back to keep your game alive.

SplashJackson,

Do I need to apply to get the pass?

simple,

Nope, there’s a machine in the hub area you can use to access season rewards.

SplashJackson,

Nice!!!

atocci, do games w Epic Games reportedly hit by 189GB hack, including login and payment info

If I only have an account through Xbox login, and my only payment method is PayPal, what kind of risks are there?

ColonelPanic,

You’re fine unless something happens to PayPal.

    Action RPG is a genre, it absolutely exists. It’s usually referred to as ARPG. Granblue Fantasy Relink could be considered an ARPG.

    abbenm,

    Uh?? Is War & Peace not literary fiction? Also I think Diablo, arguably the most famous RPG game (for better or worse), is an action RPG.

    DoucheBagMcSwag, (edited ) do gaming w The Day Before studio say the game's downfall was thanks to "a hate campaign"

    So… my comment was removed…now we can’t tell scam artists who are peddling literal fake news to “shut the fuck up” here without our comments (that multiple people agreed with here) without getting culled?

    I understand about not being toxic towards other’s here but this was directed at the ponce making that statement

    …that multiple people agreed with here…

    The admin/mod team here make the final decision as to what is nice or not. Do you have a genuine grievance?

    DoucheBagMcSwag,

    If it’s going to kick up dust and all that bullshit it’s not worth it.

    TheMongoose, do gaming w Indiana Jones And The Great Circle is first-person, stealthy, and coming 2024

    Holy shit, Troy Baker is doing an incredible Harrison Ford impression...

    I'm dubious on the first person stuff, especially since they seem to have put a lot of work into recreating Ford's likeness. But I was dubious about Cyberpunk too, and that turned out OK, so what do I know?

    Cautiously optimistic.

    Zworf,

    The voice isn’t quite right :( I wish they’d have Harrison ford for the voice at least.

    The article I linked with the post was about that. I still can’t think of a lot of other examples though

    @vortexal@sopuli.xyz avatar

    I know it’s technically not a mod but most older versions of RuneScape can be played “offline” by creating a personal private server. Everything from RSC to HDScape can have private servers but I don’t think I’ve seen private servers for RS3.

    @eratic@feddit.uk avatar

    I tried SPT a few months ago (with additional mods) and it was enjoyable especially if you like tarkov. There’s a mod which makes the maps connected, where different extractions lead to other maps. There’s lots of things you can do to make the singleplayer experience better.

    Although I’ve ended up playing the GAMMA modpack for STALKER Anomaly instead. It has what I look for in tarkov, and then some.
