csolisr, do gaming w Overwatch 2's Steam debut is big, but those user reviews are rough

I’m not touching that game until they go and take the cowboy out of the game. We’re not fools Blizzard, that rename was just a cheap way to put things under the rug and we know already who’s that guy based on

But like...the real guy isn't a cowboy. They renamed him. You'd remove an entire character from the game? Renaming him seems like the appropriate response.

I agree removing the character entirely seems too far. The characters are designed differently enough that you would be leaving a reasonable number of people without their favorite playstyle entirely without a suitable replacement.

I get people not being able to look past the history, but I'm not sure there's any more reasonable course of action that can be taken. The name was the homage, not the kit, art, or lines. And now that name is gone.

I think those who are still upset about it would have to accept they fall under "Don't like? Don't engage" rather than calling for further action.

AlbertScoot,

I was more angry that they changed the name at all, it's just an attempt to pretend they never did anything wrong.

Evotech, do gaming w Nexus Mods says folks "should be pressuring" paid mod platforms to "do better" if they're frustrated by its new policy on the ever-controversial topic

Paid mods is ok as long as 100% goes to the modder

You also need to verify that the modder isn’t stealing another modder’s work, which can be challenging.

Evotech,

Sure, but solvable

rdri, do games w Riot's fighting game 2XKO will use Vanguard anti-cheat

Just decide that more than X inputs per second equals cheater, and measure that on the server side. No need to riddle users systems with code waste.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

You can mash fighting game inputs pretty hard. That’s too simple of a solution.

rdri,

You can also mash them without doing much work with your fingers, and no kernel level anticheat will detect that. If you really want, that is.

Pixelguin,

Mashing is rarely a concern in fighting game cheats, it’s either inhuman reactions (hard to distinguish from a lucky guess) or always guessing right on plus/oki situations.

More complex cheats don’t activate every time; it’s basically impossible to measure whether your opponent in Street Fighter has a “auto perfect parry 15% of the time” cheat running.

rdri,

Correct, it’s impossible. And anticheat will not help with identifying such complex cheats.

PolandIsAStateOfMind, do gaming w Starfield's latest update draws player ire by sticking a bounty hunting quest behind the Creation Club paywall
@PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml avatar

Polish info about this update was such a word salad that i didn’t even get the most important thing, so maybe someone here knows: are we finally getting mod tools?

ZeroHora,

Yep, they released the creation kit on steam

CaptDust, do gaming w Tekken 8 has a strong start as its first month sales outpace Tekken 7

2m copies in a month puts this on pace with SF6, could this be a signal the general FGC has expanded? Pretty impressive

WanderingPoltergeist, do gaming w Highly anticipated indie Sims 4 rival Paralives sets early access release window for 2025
@WanderingPoltergeist@kbin.social avatar

@mike591 I'm excited for this game because they've built up a lot of sensible gameplay elements so early on in development. The social system seems more interesting than The Sims 4, where you could become best friends and marry someone on the same day you met them (I've done this so often, even with conflicting personality traits). It takes both time and effort to befriend the other Paras! That is what I desire from a social sim, investing time into creating the story for my character and having that time feel meaningful.

MacedWindow, do gaming w So far, Goku and Vegeta alone make up 24 slots of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero’s roster
@MacedWindow@lemmy.world avatar

It all depends on the ratio. 24/48 is pretty bad, but 24/150 is a bit more reasonable.

ptsdstillinmymind, do gaming w Riot lays off over 500 staff, with Legends of Runeterra and Forge indie initiative teams hit hard

Instead of cutting CEO and executive pay let’s fire some of the employees. - sounds about Capitalism

WanderingPoltergeist,
@WanderingPoltergeist@kbin.social avatar

That's why I honestly respect Nintendo execs because they will take pay cuts over laying off staff when the going is tough! They might occasionally do shitty things or make out of touch decisions but at least they care about the health of their companies. Game companies can't make good games without talent.

Eggyhead, do gaming w Bayonetta dev's Apple Arcade exclusive World of Demons will no longer be playable next month
@Eggyhead@kbin.social avatar

I had subbed to Arcade back when this came out just to see if I’d be into such a service. I even bought a backbone one. I played just a little bit of WoD, about half of that adorable diorama JRPG from the final fantasy guy, and maybe a few minutes of a lot of other stuff. It’s all really good stuff, I just really can’t get into gaming on a phone. My backbone has been largely untouched for years.

ApathyTree, do gaming w Be careful, recording Baldur's Gate 3's adult scenes on Xbox might net you a temporary ban
@ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Does Microsoft not have the ability to block recording specific scenes like PlayStation does?

Can’t they just block recording that and call it a day instead of “surprise you broke some asinine rule you didn’t know about!”

TwilightVulpine,

This is also bad.

They approved the game to be on the platform, banning people for recording scenes is ridiculous.

To this day I resent Sony for not allowing me to stream Persona 5 to my sister, which is a series we used to play together a lot.

Lemonyoda, do gaming w Starfield will be getting a bunch of fresh features including "new ways of traveling" next year

Aka the Game releases Feature incomplete in Beta (early Access) Status.

MS gamepass does hinder Quality Games. Same Story for forza Motorsport, redfall and whatnot…

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

This game was originally going to release two years ago without Microsoft making sure it got more QA than Bethesda is known for. Microsoft or not, the game design and feature completeness likely wouldn't have moved an inch.

Hi-Fi Rush, for a counter example, was one of the best games of the year.

Lemonyoda,

I have just looked Into my year on Xbox (and Nintendo Switch…) and it turns out, i played starfield around 50h hours.

So, it did something right regardless. You are probably right those

Ich becomes increasingly frustrating to watch all These big AAA Milestones turn out mediocre.

The AA space is where its at, See your example of Hifi rush.

wolfshadowheart,
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

I would disagree with your 50 hour Starfield assessment, only on the basis of Todd Howards own comment that the game was made to be played for a long time.

50 hours for a game meant to be played for a long time just isn't very long at all. Heck, I enjoyed my time in Starfield and I had more than 50 hours. However I could not continue with NG+, it was just godawful.

For a game meant to be played extensively it failed in most regards.

Seytoux, do games w Team17 hit by redundancies - UK firm latest to suffer layoffs

Release Blasphemous 2!

FooBarrington,

I’m confused, since I’ve already completed the game. What do you mean?

Seytoux,

Look for blasphemous 2 trailer in YouTube, it is in the making and should be released soon. Was announced more then a year ago I think.

FooBarrington,

As I’ve said, I already played through Blasphemous 2, it was released a couple of weeks ago (August 24th).

Release Blasphemous 3!

FooBarrington,

I’d be up for it! Though I hope they do some more grotesque bosses. They were the coolest parts of the first one, and the second one was a lot more tame for the bigger bosses.

Seytoux,

Oh sorry, I misunderstood your comment and apparently totally missed the release.

Cool, as soon as I return to my home city I’ll buy it. Thanks!

FooBarrington,

You’re welcome, and have fun!

Wirlocke, do games w Baldur's Gate 3's Astarion says there's a tough to find two hour section no one has played yet (Updated: It has been found)

I’m confused at how the Blood of Lathander wouldn’t be found on launch, there are so many triggers for it.

Reading the locked books, talking to the dead Tiefling, reading the plaque on the statue that’s dead center in the building. It’s hard to avoid honestly.
