Kaboom, do games w Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall

Its mentioned in the article, but it bears repeating.

They force give you the first quest of a questline for free, and then charge you seven bucks for the second 15 minute quest.

Its also not complete, its an early access paid mod where they clearly cut content out of the game just to give you the first hit of a faction questline, end that first quest on a cliff hanger, and then charge 7 bucks per quest. And before this, the faction was just a series of kiosks giving radiant quests.

meco03211,

Fuck that’s bad. Though I’m not playing starfield I’m certainly paying attention to shit like this. Before 76 I would have been a fully committed fanboy pre-ordering most, if not all, Bethesda games. Between 76 and other shenanigans they had dropped sharply out of favor. I wasn’t going to buy a game brand new until reviews came out (hence why I still haven’t played starfield). They gained some favor back with the TV series as it seemed well done for just my kind of interest level. Now they’re losing it again.

BruceTwarzen,

Are you worried they run out of copies or something?

iheartneopets,

Idk why the tv show would have gotten them any grace? As far as I know, all they did was let the property be bought and used by Amazon. Todd Howard executive produced, but that’s not saying much. The show has nothing to do with them as a studio. They just lucked into a team who had something interesting planned with the IP.

Impressive that enough people still care for there to be a backlash.

BruceTwarzen,

12 people got really pissed, which is everyone.

So they still haven’t made it fun? Bummer

Kit,

Maybe by the 10 year anniversary edition.

“Fun” doesn’t pay C-suite bonuses or shareholder payouts. Ain’t nobody got a reason to work on that!

Oh, How the mighty have continued to show their true colors since Oblivions Horse Armor…

Crikeste,

I wouldn’t call a company that got gobbled up by Microsoft ‘mighty’.

TachyonTele,

That’s a nice burn

clearedtoland,

I recently started playing Diablo 4. I’ve never bought DLC or cosmetics but I recall the horse armor uproar. My shock when some of these cosmetics are $20 for mount or town portal…what?!

fushuan,

It’s because their competitor does the same, see? Since few people purchase the mtx they rise prices to compensate. Please ignore the 70$ price tag, thanks.

It’s a shame they couldn’t save free radical or Volition, but maybe it was for the best…

My buddy had this game, shit had like 8 discs

Omegamanthethird,

It was 3. But IIRC, it was the first 360 game to have multiple discs.

huquad,

Yeah you’re right; looking it up it was 3. My kid brain at the time must have seen that and the tale of the multiple disks grew.

And Nobuo Uematsu did the music. This game popped in my head the other day and was hoping it was on steam. I guess you have to emulate it to play it.

I hope they bring this to modern consoles, I never had any Xbox consoles but would like to play it

It’s bonkers these games are almost 20 years old already.

saber interactive is a russian company. 4A Games is Kyiv-based studio. this cannot be a rescue.

Source? According to Wikipedia they’re American.

you are reading Wikipedia in a wrong language. russian wiki page lists all russia and belarus offices, if that is your source.

iusearchbtw,
@iusearchbtw@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It lists several subsidiary offices, including Russian, Armenian, Swedish, British, Belorussian, and Portuguese branches. It’s still headquartered in the United States.

for me this makes them russian. I’m from Kyiv, Ukraine.

I agree that this game doesn’t get as much love as Lost Odyssey. But that is rightfully so. LO is an amazing game.

Based Saber. Probably, saving AAA game devs single handedly.

Vordus,

More like grabbing a bargain; When Embracer bought Saber it cost them more than $500 million. They sold it to Beacon (who are basically just a bunch of investors and one of the Saber founders) for just under $250 million, and are now stacking up extras from the Embracer spending spree while they still can.

On a similar note, who do we reckon is buying Gearbox? My money is on Take 2, because who would be stupid enough to buy Gearbox (Embracer aside) when the Borderlands publishing rights are permanently in 2K’s hands?

Gearbox has Duke Nukem, not that they’re doing anything with it.

I never considered Blue Dragon as a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger. Blue Dragon is just a complete different game, with some of the same developers.

ninjan, do gaming w Remembering Blue Dragon, the spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger that everyone wanted and nobody played

It is a great game imo, but it’s also insanely long and pretty grind heavy. I made it through two of the three disc before I sadly lost my save file in a break in.

I later tried again but only made it to disc 2 before just not being able to stomach the grind :/

Chozo, do gaming w Get in there, Helldivers 2's mechs are officially confirmed to be on the way "soon"

The mechs are cool, but I've got a feeling that their use case will be very situational. I'm more excited for the other vehicles that we should also be getting soon.
