carotte, do games w ‘As usual, we do what Nintendon’t’: Peripheral firm ‘fixes’ Switch 2’s new Joy-Cons

to save you a click: the “problem” that was “fixed” is that the new joycons weren’t colorful enough. so dbrand (the “peripheral firm”) made decals with more prominent colors.

I really don’t like Dbrand as a company, their marketing is so obnoxious.

They do seem to have quality products though. Got a Steamdeck skin from them and it fit really well.
Will however never order again because the import tax I paid on it was ridiculuous, not dbrands fault, I just hadn’t ordered anything from US Canada for a while… and now won’t anymore.

thatKamGuy,

I thought they were Canadian, though? Weird…

Ah damn, you are probably right about that.

The D in Dbrand stands for “douche.”

LemmyEntertainYou, (edited )

Their entire social media presence is pathetic and their products are poor quality. They only exist because they throw money at marketing.

Carrot,

I agree with the fact that they aren’t a great company, but anyone who’s shopped around for skins/decals knows that dbrand is a cut above the rest in terms of quality. I’ve stopped buying from them due to how they run things, though.

FerretyFever0,

So, none of the actual, very real problems with them? Great, very helpful.

victorz,

Awful article and post, in that case. Down voting. Thank you! Have my up vote.

Too late, I’m fully stuck in on Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and I do not have room for anything else in the “big, open world RPG with swords and armor and shit” genre.

scott_the_sloth,

KCD2 is an amazing game

I have learned this over the last week. I got it on sale just after Christmas and basically spent the whole week playing it.

I think I’ve done like 1 of the main quests and have just been fucking around with side quests. But it’s been so fun.

RampantParanoia2365,

… seriously? So then they’ve fixed that combat with multiple people? Because that, in the first game was absolutely atrocious.

Gonzako,

EZ, just cast red rune to create 1v1s and green rune to protect yourself from ranged attacks

RampantParanoia2365,

What? I thought this was a non-fantasy medieval game.

Gonzako,

The runes are things you can use in the witcher 3

    I tried a few time to get into Witcher 3 and just couldn’t.

    Kolanaki,
    @Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

    I get bored of the combat by the time I get to the Red Baron. Love the story; but the gameplay gets super repititve super quick.

    brucethemoose,

    It might be a “watch the cutscenes and scenery highlights in a YT play though” game.

    Kolanaki,
    @Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

    That’s what I ended up doing because I did wanna see the end, I just was done with the journey to get there lol

    brucethemoose,

    IDK, lots of the TW3 sidequests seem to be very good… from my time watching them on YouTube, heh.

    They are. One of the game’s strengths, in my opinion, is the lack of empty filler and fetch quests. All the quests are voiced with original lines and they’re basically mini-stories, every last one of them.

    I don’t like the combat system either, that’s why I always put it on the easiest setting, so I don’t waste time with it and just play it for the story. Let’s put it this way: Amazing story but bad combat? I can sit through that easily. Good combat with a terrible story? EW NO GET IT AWAY. Combat is like the least important thing for me in games. :D

    mnemonicmonkeys,

    I was the other way around (kinda). I didn’t mind the combat, though it also wasn’t anything special. The story was alright, but the 3-way split ending and how they used to pick which you got was complete horseshit, and it completely ruined the experience.

    Add to that, I found the 2 previous games to be very disappointing as well. I don’t understand how the first game wasn’t a complete flop.

    So CDPR has screwed me out of 3 games. Well, they owe me and they’re blacklisted until that changes. Unless they send me a free copy of CP2077 out of the blue they won’t see another dime from me ever again

    filister,

    I am not into FPS and CP2077 really clicked with me. The combat is pretty fun and versatile, graphics and soundtrack are amazing and the story is captivating.

    luciferofastora,

    In my opinion, there are two ways to deal with that (well, three, but the third is “shrug and find something else to do”):

    Playing on easiest difficulty makes the combat a non-issue, little more than set dressing, and allows you to focus on story and exploration. The combat would still bore you, but at least it would be over quicker.

    Playing on the second hardest difficulty makes combat challenging enough to scratch the same itch as Dark Souls et al. do for me, but that’s obviously a matter of personal taste. Full on Deathmarch is even better for that, but I’m not convinced it’s a good idea for a first playthrough.

    If neither works for you, shame, but it can’t be helped.

    But_my_mom_says_im_cool,

    It’s not for everyone and I won’t downvote you for it. I felt the same about Elden ring, just did not like it

    kratoz29, do games w The Witcher 3 is reportedly getting a surprise new expansion this year

    I only own the PS4 version, and I certainly am not looking to re-visit it, but if the DLC is free (or free at least for the GOTY edition) then I think I would!

    It’s the Witcher 1 but redone in the Witcher 3 engine. They’ve reimplemented the combat rhythm minigame and the ‘sex cards’ are all in HD.

    tatann, (edited )

    The remake is made by another studio, but I think they’ve been using Unreal Engine for all new projects

    Edit: now that I think of it, if it’s the same studio, the Witcher 1 remake could be done as a DLC for TW3 (so indeed with the RedEngine)

    I wonder, it’s it free and part of their marketing plan for Witcher 4?

    Hadriscus, (edited )

    I’m ready to bet 5 euros it is

    Outsourced and financed by marketing budget

    chuckleslord,

    I’ll take that bet. All of their expansions have been paid DLCs. Would be odd if the last one wasn’t.

    Hadriscus,

    ah shit I didn’t know that. I think I bought the version with all included for a fixed price…

    Well. I said it now, so you can send me your alternative to paypal in case I lose

    Most likely it will be something tying Witcher 3 story with Witcher 4

    cyberpunk007, do games w The Witcher 3 is reportedly getting a surprise new expansion this year

    I could get back into that again.

    Hadriscus,

    Reading the headline alone triggered my relapse

    cyberpunk007,

    I’m so sorry, I feel you.

    stupidcasey,

    Don’t worry, now you’ll be surprised when it isn’t a surprise because you are expecting a surprise.

    veniasilente, do games w The Witcher 3 is reportedly getting a surprise new expansion this year

    Hopefully the Switcher can also get the expansion.

    TemplaerDude, do games w After originally being revealed in 2020, Ark 2 has been delayed again until 2028

    That studio is shady as fuck.

    RipLemmDotEE, do games w After originally being revealed in 2020, Ark 2 has been delayed again until 2028

    If original Ark was over 800GB installed, and Ark Survival Evolved in over 500GB, does this mean Ark 2 might be under 300GB?

    I’m constantly impressed by how absolutely shit Wildcard is at planning and executing games.

    slazer2au,

    800GB really?

    RipLemmDotEE,

    Yup. Original Ark has huge, super bloated maps made on Unreal 4, with many clipped terrain layers and hidden objects.

    RightHandOfIkaros,

    AFAIK, its actually closer to 450GB, and that is if the base game and all currently released DLCs are installed as well.

    800GB is an exaggeration, but 400GB+ is still ridiculously bloated.
