bassomitron, do games w V Rising 1.0 review: one of the slickest survival games gets even slicker

Oh damn, I didn’t realize this was out of EA. I impulse purchased it a couple years ago and it felt pretty lackluster, but I recognized it had a lot of potential so I shelved it rather than refund. Looks like they’ve added a ton of content and gameplay changes, so I’ll definitely check it out again. Hopefully they implement native controller support, as it seems like a perfect candidate for Steam Deck (yes, I know about Steam Input configs, but those are sometimes pretty hacky and don’t feel all that great in a lot of games).

I’ll let you know how the controller support is once the game lets me past the title screen, but it’s supposedly got it now.

EDIT: Got in to the game and poked around menus. Some dropdowns don’t appear to be selectable by controller, so hopefully they patch that.

I keep avoiding RPS links for that reason.

Oh, you want to withdraw consent? Have fun disabling them separately for each individual partner.

HorreC, do gaming w The Day Before studio say the game's downfall was thanks to "a hate campaign"
@HorreC@kbin.social avatar

Was it the hate campaign that made any of your associated address with the company were never a place you were at? Was it them who used unpaid interns to mod and build the game, then left them out to dry with no support when the hate for the state of the game came in?

Surprised they didn’t throw in the usual death threats spiel too whenever something isn’t well received so attention shifts to pitying them.

Please be good. I loved the first one (despite the bugs).

Didn’t they say they were don’t making Subnautica like games? I hope not though, I loved 1 and 2.

  • mojo,

    I personally loved the building in the game. At least in 2 it was a lot better. Luckily they ported most of the improvements from 2 into the first game.

    I'm in the middle of a Subnautica replay and it's very much "fuck man where is the thing" combined with "I swear that thing was right here last time I played."

    Horrible, but also really impressive how they manipulate people. Forced engagement in the weekend leagues, resetting the game periodically…the addicts don’t stand a chance.

    clay_pidgin, do games w Why CCP haven't stopped trying to make an EVE Online shooter for 15 years

    It should be fun. The Fanfest presentations went well and players are cautiously optimistic about Vanguard. Dust was popular, but not successful commercially. In part, that’s because it was a console exclusive that tied to a PC-only main game. If anyone has questions about EVE, let me know.

    o7, capsuleer.

    Risk,

    Regarding Vanguard - how will it tie in to EVE? Will Vanguard players be able to sell stuff to EVE players for currency?

    clay_pidgin,

    I haven’t heard anything about how vanguard will tie into the economy, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

    There’s a new pirate faction-team-up called "the deathless"and several new pirate ships, and I would imagine that Vanguard players might get faction LP which they could sell or use.

    yokonzo, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 patch 3 releases today and lets you change your appearance and pronouns

    I could have sworn it already had this functionality but I guess I’m wrong

    odium,

    I think that before you could only set it in the character creation screen at the start. Now you can change it anytime.

    GreenMario,

    Starfield does this with it’s plastic surgery shop so I imagine it’s a “hey that’s a good idea” thing for Larian.

    Shalakushka,
    @Shalakushka@kbin.social avatar

    They've been promising this since Patch 1, and changing your appearance is a really common feature in games with a create a character.

    LoafyLemon,

    Now we can role-play a bad guy turning into a good guy and vice versa.

    GreenMario,

    Most games do have limits on it after creation but I did remember just now that the Saints Row series did just this. I just have Starfield on my mind and forgot.

    Ravaja,

    Yeah, I don’t think anyone at Larian is taking notes from Bethesda of all companies

    The implementation is through The Magic Mirror, which is the same thing Divinity: Original Sin 2, their previous game used. So probably less inspired by Starfield.

    Not very interesting news in my opinion. Lots of companies/CEOs want to acquire other companies.

    Its free-to-play but you need to buy the housing/eating/sleeping/jobs/relationships DLC.

    Here specifically is where consumers have drawn the line with the Postal series, a game series about doing mass killings for fun.

    @Hegar@fedia.io avatar

    Multiple genres of games are about doing mass killings for fun.

    You know that bit when you get bored playing some open world game, go around killing everyone, then reload? Postal is That: The Game. Just without the reloading.

    Or that was how i thought about postal 1&2.

    Mass killings in videogames don’t hurt real people.

    FishFace, do games w Erosion is a voxel open world shooter in which deaths cost decades, and you can win the Wild West with armies of cats

    I guess I’m skeptical. First: it seems pretty random ecks dee, so I don’t think there’ll be much emotional significance to finding your daughter when she’s old when you got there with the “Ebony Rooster that shoots bouncy eggs.” Second, it’s easy to say that every choice matters but the proof of that will be in the gameplay: will it be very limited evolution of the world or will it be a crazy simulation like Dwarf Fortress? Either has pitfalls, I suppose.

    Games are just all “zany” word-salad at this point…
