charles, do gaming w Manic Miners, a fan remake of a classic 1999 RTS Lego Rock Raiders, has finally reached full release.

Omg I remember seeing this was being remade but I’ve purposely not looked at anything beyond that. So excited to give this a try, it was one of the 4 or 5 games I’d play non stop in rotation (partly because I was bad at video games as a kid (not that I’m much better now, I just have less excuses)).

DarkThoughts, do gaming w Path of Exile 2 New Gameplay Trailer

Are they seriously still sticking to gender locked classes?

Terminarchs,

Would you volunteer to do all the extra work that would require, for free?

DarkThoughts,

You think the PoE devs aren't getting paid? lol

Terminarchs,

They are, but this is also clearly not within budget, not a sexist conspiracy.

DarkThoughts,

Sexist? Why are you trying to make this a gender issue now? lol
Please stop the fanatic bitching. You're not going to make any sort of criticism go away with this.

Terminarchs,

You clearly made it a gender issue with your initial comment. I’m not the one bitching, I think the trailer looks amazing.

DarkThoughts,

Are you confused? Where did I make it a gender issue by complaining that they still use gender locked classes? It's an outdated and obsolete concept from decades ago that needlessly cuts down on character customization. I never once claimed this to be sexism related. Maybe work on your reading comprehension before you continue to cry around over your own made up bullshit.

liminis,

It’s not “obsolete” for set characters, which is what this is if they have pre-established stories and personalities.

You think the PoE devs aren’t getting paid? lol

That’s not how budgets nor gamedev work. It’s not up to individual developers to just add huge amounts of content to a game that hasn’t been budgeted for.

DarkThoughts,

It’s not “obsolete” for set characters, which is what this is if they have pre-established stories and personalities.

It is. Even Diablo had male and female characters while having lore behind them. It's not that hard. They even acknowledged that they could offer it as micro transaction, so this whole "they're actual characters" argument already flies right out of the window.

Look. It's not that hard to adjust armor & animations to character models nowadays. A lot of tools do most of the work even all on their own already, assuming you prepared for this with a solid base already. Even game modders do this. You're just looking for excuses.

liminis,

You’re just looking for excuses.

No, I’m not, because I’m not a PoE2 dev and don’t need an excuse. You’re ignoring the realities of gamedev and insisting it should just work because you say so.

They even acknowledged that they could offer it as micro transaction

If they did, that means budgeting for the additions needed because it would be a product in itself.

DarkThoughts,

You continue to make shit up. I never claimed you were a dev, that's also completely not necessary to kneejerk white knight a product like you're doing. I also never claimed "things just work because I say so". Please stop the straw manning.

If they did, that means budgeting for the additions needed because it would be a product in itself.

Throwing all your previous "arguments" out of the window.

liminis,

I’ve never played PoE, and only watched a friend play it briefly; so nice try, but no, I’m not just stanning for a developer out of some absurd association of one’s ego with a product.

You need to actually learn how development works, and I’m not replying further until you either do that or stop being so aggressive.

Throwing all your previous “arguments” out of the window

If you actually read what I said, instead of obsessing over winning an argument no one cares about, you would realise that was the exact thing I said from the start. Unless you can’t even tell you’ve been frothing at two separate people.

SkyeStarfall,

It would be nice if they didn’t, but every class is a character with a semi-established personality and story, so it makes sense for them to be gender “locked”. The NPC characters also react to you differently based on who you play. It’s mainly a difference in character design.

DarkThoughts,

Make them gender neutral, I honestly don't care about their backstory anyway if I'm honest. I want to play "my" character. Imagine they'd be as restrictive in their possible builds because "duh, in their backstory they only used specific spells too".

Now that’s a sequel! It reminds me of how Risk of Rain 2 is to Risk of Rain.

Transporter_Room_3, do games w Planet Coaster 2 : Announcement Trailer
@Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website avatar

All I’ve ever heard about planet coaster is that it’s an unfinished mess that got half-finished with hundreds of dollars of dlc, so hearing another is in the works is kind of like…

Maybe finish your first helping before getting another slice of pizza?

Man, I really want to play some elite dangerous, now…

MarcomachtKuchen,

That’s just not true. The game sits at 91% positive reviews on steam and has a meta critic of 84.

I get how the scenery heavy aspect might not be every management enjoyers Cup of tea, but the it’s a well received game.

CaptDust,

Ehhh. the game is coming up on 8 years, it’s definitely time for engine upgrades. Also the majority of DLC is themed packs (ghostbusters, back to the future and the like) with scenery, a single ride, and a single coaster. I wouldn’t consider it half-finished.

geelgroenebroccoli,

Planet Coaster 1 certainly wasn’t half-finished. The developers actively listened to the community and constantly made free improvements for years after release.

Sure, it has lots of DLC packs, but none of them are in any way essential.

Fizz, do games w Real-Time Strategy is incredible and you should play it
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Rts is great but many people nowadays don’t touch the genre and the people that play it are spread out across every rts game that ever existed. TA still has a community and it came out in 1997.

I’ve always played rts games extremely casually never playing single player but never playing 1v1 ranked. When you’re bad the games take so much longer and start slower. So it’s litterally a more boring game until you get good.

Playing beyond all reason and playing 1v1s for the first time has forced me to drop my noob habits and actually play rts properly. Its intense having to manage your raiding units while expanding while protecting that expansion while scouting while keeping your base safe and growing. But it’s so rewarding when you win.

Now I see newer players and what they have to go through I understand why so many quit. They join a lobby called “all welcome” then get kicked because no one wants the noob on their team. They get flamed. People run circles around them in game and attack before they have a single unit out. Rts is hard to learn but so fun once you have the basics down and can actually start developing strategies and reacting to your opponents in real time. Idk even know what I’m trying to say here I just woke up.

I love RTS but I rarely play it these days because I don’t have a lot of screen time. When I have half an hour to pick up my device I’m probably going to play an FPS. I did start a play through of the original homeworld campaigns a while back but I’ve not had time to progress far.

The animation and aesthetic is amazing and I like the music but … what’s the gameplay? I confess I got a little disappointed when it shifted to platformer perspective.

@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

I wasn’t disappointed by what looked like a 2d platormer or brawler, but I agree otherwise.

Edit: I guess it’s neither

But I love 2d brawlers, and something like a hi-fi rush in old Streets of Rage / Capcom beat-rm-up style, with this level of art and quality would be awesome.

Weird that this gets announced within a week of Empire of the Undergrowth coming out of early access.

Die4Ever,

I haven’t heard of that one before, looks like more of a strategy game than this one, seems cool!

Oradango, do gaming w ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree | Official Gameplay Reveal Trailer (premiering Feb 21st 15:00 UTC)

Their second tweet says it will be 3 minutes long. Makes me feel like I should skip watching it because of how much it might reveal. Can only go in blind once!

Bjtp,

You‘re right. Although i have to say that the Elden Ring trailers did not take away from my enjoyment of the game. For movies in general i would totally agree though.

Just beat 6 this weekend and started 7.

I think I got pretty far in it back in the day, but I don’t think I ever finished it.

half_built_pyramids,

Crossdressing part was good

Katana314,

There’s a similar bit in Trails in the Sky I ended up unexpectedly enjoying.

Joshua: “Good luck, Estelle.”
Estelle: “…What do you mean, good luck? You’re coming too, right?”
Joshua: “…Pardon? The plan is using a maid’s disguise. There’s no butlers in that part of the castle.”
Estelle: “So what? You fit GREAT in a dress!”
Joshua: “…Just drop it, Estelle. They only have the one outfit.”
Head Maid: “Well…so actually…”
Joshua: “…no. No, we are NOT doing this!”

gveltaine,

Thank you for reminding me of this scene, that was played out so well!

I’m so glad I forced myself into that series.

MrScottyTay,

If you’re the kind of person to be able to play a lot of games. Which i imagine your are if you were playing 6 prior. Okay the OG 7 before remake. You’ll get more out of remake if you do. Especially if you consume the other 7 media like crisis core and advent children.

Rhynoplaz,

I am playing the OG PlayStation version on an SNES mini.

I almost wish they had kept it in 2D. The awkward teenage years of gaming resulted in some REALLY ugly 3D models.

MrScottyTay,

As long as you keep it at the native res it’s not that bad. It’s got a charm to it.
