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

neosheo, do gaming w KOTOR Remake feared cancelled after Sony quietly pulls tweets and videos

Honestly i just play the originals. I don’t need a remake

zeekaran,

If you’ve played it before that’s doable. Someone who has never played it will have a bad time. It’s seriously outdated.

neosheo,

The combat is clunky but let’s be real, does anyone play it for the combat?

it is a star wars game, id expect lightsaber combat to be at least passable lol. i love kotor 1 but my god the combat is horrible

sparkl_motion,

They’re D20 games. They behave exactly as one would expect with turn based combat.

mcforest,

It's not that long ago that I played both KOTOR games for the first time and I have to agree that the game might not be that intuitive by today standards. But now after a lot of people played BG3 it might be not that hard anymore to figure this game out.

EsteeBestee,

As someone who loves RPGs and Star Wars, it took me about 10 attempts to actually get more than an hour into the game before turning it off. It’s just that dated. I did eventually power through the first few hours and then the non-aged moments (story and writing) became good enough for me to stick around. I can definitely see how most people wouldn’t want to play it for the first time at this point though.

OfficialThunderbolt,

I do. The originals were locked behind an anti-consumer EULA once Disney got ahold of them. Since I won’t agree to their EULA, I was holding out hope for the remake.

I’m not sure if id trust the remake to have a more reasonable EULA tbh, and frankly with the originals if you want to play and don’t like the EULA i’d say pirate it, KOTOR is 20 years old now at this point.

Lojcs,

What was special about the eula?

OfficialThunderbolt,

It contains an arbitration clause. Arbitration clauses are evil. No one should ever agree to them.

Potatos_are_not_friends, do games w Cyberpunk 2077's Ukrainian localisation takes the piss out of Russia's war

Rockpapershotgun commenters continue to impress me.

So many site comments are full of racist spiel and bot spam.

Where RPS does a good job with moderating.

Tetsuo, do games w Cyberpunk 2077's Ukrainian localisation takes the piss out of Russia's war

Well I can’t read that article without accepting cookies.

Too bad ¯_(ツ)_/¯

SolOrion,

It’s a couple dialogue lines-

one of Cyberpunk 2077’s Ukrainian dialogue line alters “We’re fucking through” to a Ukrainian phrase that roughly means “Go fuck yourself in the same direction as the ship did”.

One line of police dialogue referring to the game’s Scavengers faction has been altered from the English “Couldn’t all these assholes bite it out in the Badlands?” to a Ukrainian phrase that translates as “Couldn’t all this rusnia bite it out in the Badlands?”

Some of the phrasing in the inventory-

There are also apparent references on inventory screens to Ukrainian state messaging during the war. “‘Є перевага’ literally means ‘there is an advantage’,” Tarasov told me. "A reference to the governmental digital initiatives’ branding during Zelensky’s tenure

And some graffiti-

There also appears to be brand new graffiti in the game that references Russia’s occupation of Crimea in 2014. “The graffiti represents the outlines of Crimea, the peninsula that was illegally annexed from Ukraine by russia in 2014,” Tarasov told me. “Juxtaposed are the Ukrainian coat of arms and taraq tamga (the symbol of Crimean Tatars).” The suggestion is that in Cyberpunk 2077’s world, Crimea is part of Ukraine.

I mean most games can’t even bother to give colorblind people a slider or a palette of colors to change the red outlines and tints they put on things. That’s a way easier problem to solve than variable sized text in a UI.

hydroel, (edited ) do games w The next Sims game will be free-to-play with paid DLC

The Sims 4 base game is already free. So if I’m understanding this correctly, EA, of all game publishers, is announcing that, against all odds, a free-to-play game with in-game MTX is an efficient business model that they want to promote? This might not be related at all that the Sims has always been a license that caters to the general, not particularly gamer audience.

Toribor,
@Toribor@corndog.social avatar

With Sims 4 already being F2P this announcement just means they are once again going to resell the same content back to you at a premium. Piecing up their game even more.

When monero based game store?

OsrsNeedsF2P,

The user experience of Monero is poor.

While it is true that getting your first credit card isn’t exactly a 10 second ordeal, people at least have their credit card. How are people going to acquire their first Monero?

Petter1,

If people have to, they will find a way😇

Laser,
  1. Install Cake Wallet on phone
  2. Setup Monero Wallet
  3. Click “Buy”

It’s not that difficult

Rocketpoweredgorilla, do gaming w Skyrim-style open world RPG Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon releases out of early access today
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

With a name like that I half expected a Monty Python themed game.

Vodulas,

I mean, Arthurian legend/the quest for the grail has been around for like a long time before Monty Python.

Rocketpoweredgorilla,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

Well yes, the story of Arthur goes back centuries, that’s where they got the idea from for the movie. It’s just that to me “Tainted Grail” sounded like something right up their alley.

Vodulas,

Oh, that kind of taint. Having played the game instead thinking about it in the corrupted sense

Rocketpoweredgorilla,
@Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca avatar

Ya just my silly mind at work and I thought it was a little humorous at least, even if no one else did.

Vodulas,

No, you’re all good, just my brain being one track

Apparently mine is on the other track lol
