Lath, do games w Star Trek Online and Neverwinter MMO devs Cryptic are the next Embracer-owned studio to suffer layoffs

Wow. Star Trek Online is an embarassment as it is now, now they want to make it worse?
Guess i should get ready for its shutdown... Couple of years from now when its been milked dry by the zen currency bots.

Kiernian,

Couple of years from now when its been milked dry by the zen currency bots.

They just banned almost all of those a few months back.

Like, massive sweeping bans and the zen exchange has been mostly normal since.

No whining, no drama, just no sale, like many others will do. This move creates doubts about what other problems were considered acceptable. The first game is pretty good, and waiting a bit will likely see a discount and possibly a better game.

I think they underestimated how dramatic this community can be. Which is surprising considering the map size whining that happened.

perishthethought, do gaming w Space sim Squadron 42 is "feature-complete" and gunning for Starfield's lunch with massive new video

Have they ever said how many people are working on this game?

ace,

I think they’ve mentioned how many devs are working on Squadron 42 exclusive content, but then you have all the content and features that are shared with Star Citizen, as well as the engine devs.
Not sure how you’d split things to get a proper number for only Squadron 42.

AXLplosion,

I think they said last night that CIG has about 1500 employees in total.

t3rmit3,

They have about 1300 devs, working on 2 games (SC and SQ42).

Computerchairgeneral, do gaming w World Of Horror review: a weird and wonderful horror adventure in time for Halloween

Been playing World of Horror since it entered early access, great to see it finally getting a full release. It is a great time if you're a Junji Ito fan or just a fan of cosmic horror in general.

IGuessThisIsForNSFW, do gaming w World Of Horror review: a weird and wonderful horror adventure in time for Halloween

I absolutely love World of Horror! It just hit 1.0, so if you were looking to try it out nows a great time! Also worth mentioning that it has modding support, so you can go on the discord and extend the games content a ton (not that it’s really short on content to begin with)

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

All I want is a way to sell my ISK to recover some of the £k’s I wasted in that game. 😳

My jump freighter was lost and every year it was more of a grind to cover losses and just wasn’t fun anymore which is really the biggest problem! Nerf’s made ships bland and anything unique was nerfed so it was no longer unique… and now so much has changed there’s just too much hassle to figure things out! 😞

And it’s not like I can afford the electric to run a gaming pc these days anyway! 🤦‍♂️

It’s a weird visual bug. The only solution to remove it (so far) is by using console commands. Open the console, click on the asteroid, then type disable on the console.

I was already disappointed with the unimmersive the space travel is in the game, and this bug just added itself to the list of disappointments.

Some technical notes: When I looked at the asteroids using the console, I expected them to be STATIC Objects; they were actually something called CONST iirc. Just some fun facts.

stephenc, (edited ) do games w RPG experts on why we love Baldur's Gate 3, and the future of the genre

Amazes me how invested we are in “games” that are 99% story, 1% tedious gameplay and call “RPGs”. Meanwhile, a beautiful, awesome modern take on the original Wizardry dropped, a game that says “fuck story, fight through this dungeon for your goddamn life, have some real RPG mechanics instead of 500 pages of dialog every five seconds” and no one seems to care.

JRPGs ruined western CRPGs long ago and the original BG was one of the ones that did it. Just make a TV show or movie instead.

gac11,

What game is the modern take on wizardry? I can’t seem to find it but it sounds interesting

stephenc,

It’s on Steam, just Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, just like the original.

ediculous,

I think you and I have different definitions of a role-playing game.

Personally, the idea of using persuasion or deception to get out of what could have easily been a fight is way more interesting than simply running around getting into fights.

stephenc,

You don’t need a story-heavy should-be-a-TV-show-instead RPG to have persuasion and deception options for fights/encounters, you know.

I guess I’m gonna have to actually check. I always play entirely in 1st person so I wouldn’t have noticed unless it was always in my windshield or something.

Totally unrelated, but that “Totally not The Sims” game that Paradox are developing looks pretty great, huh?

SpaceNoodle, do games w Steam turns 20 today: "We've had to try a lot of different things over the years"

Only 20? What was that platform I had to install in the late '90s?
