samus12345, (edited ) do games w Starfield hasn’t hurt No Man’s Sky’s popularity – it may have even helped it
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Starfield held my interest for a week. It’s okay, but it’s my least favorite polygon-based Bethesda game besides F76. The aging engine just wasn’t made for a game of this scope. I tried No Man’s Sky and didn’t like it, just not my thing.

HIMISOCOOL,

I’ve played to 150 on fo76, the funniest thing to me is that npcs were an after thought for 76 and still feel more real than starfields citizens… So odd

That sounds like as good an excuse as any.

acosmichippo, 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
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

If anyone else just wanted this article to get to the fucking point already, here is the original nexus post:

…nexusmods.com/…/13501488-publisher-approved-paid…

MissGutsy,

This is actually amazing, I don’t understand what the other comments on this Lemmy post are about/if they even read this post on Nexus.

To summarize:

  • no incomplete free versions of paid mods
  • no patches for paid mods on a site for free mods
  • no modpacks that require paid mods
  • only limited advertising of paid mods

This is extremely levelheaded. I think other’s might just read this headline and think they are introducing paid mods, but they don’t!

nova_ayashi, do gaming w Netflix might add in-app purchases and ads to its games no one plays
@nova_ayashi@reddthat.com avatar

I recently canceled my Netflix subscription just because I use Youtube and Paramount about 150% more often, and then finding out they had … games lol I don’t believe you

luthis, do gaming w Be careful, recording Baldur's Gate 3's adult scenes on Xbox might net you a temporary ban

This is the dumbest thing I have read this year so far.

“Player uses built in functionality as intended and gets banned for a year.”

greenskye, do games w As the WGA writers' strike looks set to end, a massive video game strike could be just around the corner

Given how little I play AAA games, I’m not sure a strike would affect me at all

MrBusiness,

Is it supposed to affect you?

Good

Fascinating how swiftly it went from Unity absolutely ruining their rep to a overdue video game strike.

RadButNotAChad, do games w A quarter of Starfield players couldn’t even be bothered to finish the first mission

I really wanted to but my game kept crashing like right after the part where you create a character. Maybe that has something to do with it.

LameName3000, do games w Starfield gets low-spec PC mod for those gaming on potatoes

Reminds me of Oldblivion. It was amazing being able to play that game with a Geforce 3.

Ricaz,

It’s just poorly made (performance wise), period.

Even modern hardware struggle with that crap. The old “But will it run Crysis?” meme is even more relevant for Oblivion

vaultdweller013,

Me: Turns on HDR

Oblivion: Fucking crashes

DmMacniel, do gaming w Starfield's planets aren't all interesting, but they're not all "supposed to be Disney World"

Who the Eff would expect planets to be like Disney World!?

“We could have made a game where there are four cities and four planets,”

Three planets and one gas giant (for now), Todd. And those probably have more diversity or non-boredness than your thousand planets.

t3rmit3,

As a very committed SC backer, I do not think that quote was directed at SC, I think that was just an honest assessment of the amount of work that handcrafted planets would have taken.

DmMacniel,

Could be, could not have been. But four planets and four cities was in my opinion quite specific.

MudMan, do gaming w Geforce Now game streaming is like magic – and it puts Xbox’s cloud effort to shame
@MudMan@kbin.social avatar

It's not magic, it's an Nvidia server you're paying for on a time share. And it's decent, but frankly, as the kind of person that can tell when my 120Hz VRR display is hitting a flat frametime by eye it's nowhere near comparable to local play, even in optimal circumstances.

Streaming is a nice option when you need a hardware-independent, location-independent way to run a heavy game, or as a stopgap when your client hardware can't cut it with a modern release the cloud service covers, but it's not an optimal experience and it's problematic if it becomes a primary way to run games for a host of other reasons. I actually find GFN to be a solid idea, in terms of tapping into libraries you already own, but it's absolutely a secondary, value-added solution to either running games on client or even pushing your own stream from a server you own.

Defaced,

Nvidia absolutely does not care about dedicated gaming GPUs anymore though, this is where their focus currently resides. Do you understand how much money Nvidia makes on their server hardware vs the consumer graphics card market? It’s absolutely disgusting how much their server offerings are making them right now. They don’t care about anecdotal scenarios like yours where you can tell a 120Hz VRR displaying is hitting a flat frame time. There will be a day when Nvidia just won’t offer midrange graphics cards anymore, because it’s just going to cost too much with little return on their investment over the server hardware and subscriptions.

JackbyDev, do games w NO STEAM DATA - Valve confirms alleged data breach was "not a breach of Steam systems" [Debunk]

Not to sound like a Steam simp, but they put a lot of faith in Steam Guard. Gabe Newell shared his password. This is old information and he may have changed it, also I don’t know if there were problems. escapistmagazine.com/gabe-newell-gives-away-perso…

It’s not a good comparison, but it is funny to talk about. The founder of LifeLock trusted his product so much that he put his SSN on billboards and television ads. His identity was stolen 13 times. www.wired.com/2010/05/lifelock-identity-theft/

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

Why can’t they just do anti-cheat the way it’s always being done, which is to identify cheaters and then stick them in a lobby with each other? I appreciate it means we might have to put up with some cheaters for 5 minutes, but realistically it’s hardly a high stakes situation.
