    It sounds like this one doesn’t really need patches to be fun, it is in a pretty polished state on day 1. Which is weird for a Bethesda game.

    learningduck,

    Seems more polished than other games. Winner what kind of fantastic mods are going to be made for it.

    unpoetical,

    Don’t forget to save some cash for the XE, YE, ZE editions that will come out every three years and woo the modding community.

    Annoyed_Crabby,

    Tbf, Fallout 4 only have goty and vr edition as an option, which is pretty standard for game.

    Scipitie,

    It’s cheap and uninteresting clickbait.

    Why do you assume that the downvotes are “I don’t understand this” instead of “this is spammy bullshit”?

    Providing an actually useful summary instead of more click bait would be preferred.

    jjagaimo,

    As far as I can tell, unfair terms in their EULA which are illegal in some places, and silently changing the terms of the EULA after the fact without informing anyone. Removal of content/mods under the new terms that they deemed they “didnt like” it because it had guns while putting guns in their own shop. Probably a number of other things.

    ech,

    Interesting. Thanks!

    I believe there’s also the fact that they flat out ban the selling of mods, but “add-ons” that do the exact same thing can be sold through their store.

    Gamers_mate,

    They have also have been allowing pay to win servers in the marketplace loot boxes and all while it being against their own terms.

    nostradiel, do games w Starfield, is it getting review bombed?
    @nostradiel@lemmy.world avatar

    This game is just ridiculous. Overhyped advertising, terrible optimalization, 10 years old graphics, so many loadscreens, plain story, no real space exploration, perk wall to do anything, horrible UI and they call it next gen open world space exploration RPG. I stopped playing after 10 hours so I can make a good assumption but it got only worse and worse. I don’t have time to waste it on this. Even if it starts being more enjoyable later it doesn’t excuse all the issues.

    circuitfarmer,
    @circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

    I feel you. The first 10-15 hours did feel like kind of a slog. I will say, I hit a point where I’m legitimately enjoying the game and things seem to have coalesced in a way they just don’t in earlier game. I’m 20 hours in though. That’s a slow starter if there ever was one.

    nostradiel,
    @nostradiel@lemmy.world avatar

    You’re a patient man. If you enjoy it, that’s good. But that game is not for me. Last game I enjoyed from Bethesda was Oblivion so I’m not much surprised. I’m quite picky…

    Even if Blizzard did actually re-release the game I paid 40$USD for and can no longer play, they couldn’t get me to jump back in with a battering ram.

    djsoren19,

    Kinda wild they’ve now done this for nearly every game in their portfolio though. We have multiple flavors of World of Warcraft Classic, Hearthstone had a Classic mode for about a year, D2R is basically Diablo Classic, now there’s gonna be Overwatch Classic. I guess we just need a Heroes of the Storm Classic and a remake of Brood War to complete the set.

    CosmoNova, do games w Unity ...It Just Keeps Get Worse

    One gripe I have with this video is that he said the situation at the unity office - namely the supposed death threat by an employee against their employer - was “understandable”. It absolutely isn’t understandable. No matter how shitty your tech CEO is, unless they happily throw puppies into a wood chipper in the office, death threats are definitely not understandable.

    Kichae, do gaming w The games industry is screwed. [26:11]

    It remains so incredibly alarming to me the number of “business leaders” who looked at consumer spending in 2020/2021, looked at the global context of 2020/2021, and then went “things will now be like this forevermore,” even as other “business leaders”, and even, very often, themselves, were doing everything possible to force everyone back into a pre-COVID context.

    My own employer was one of these businesses, and every time I’ve brought it up, I’ve been firmly told “everyone else thought the same thing we did, too”.

    I didn’t have a whole lot of respect for business people before that, but I at least – naively, it turned out – believed they knew how to operate businesses. I now have no respect for such people whatsoever, as they’ve demonstrated completely and thoroughly, even to the point where my dumb ass can notice, that the only thing that ever “qualified” them to “run a business” was having money.

    The fact that tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs because the ownership class chose to believe that they’d stumbled into an infinite growth hack is shameful, and these “leaders” deserve to be stripped of all that they own and tossed into the street.

    Feyd,

    Business leadership is a club with a specific culture. To be in the club you have you drink the cool aid, so unfortunately most of them have the same mentality

    Megaman_EXE,

    I agree completely. Over the past 5 years, I’ve noticed so many people have been able to fail upward with their businesses all because they have income that allows them to do so. It’s incredibly frustrating knowing that with the right backing, most people could likely be as successful or better.

    WalnutLum,

    I now have no respect for such people whatsoever, as they’ve demonstrated completely and thoroughly, even to the point where my dumb ass can notice, that the only thing that ever “qualified” them to “run a business” was having money.

    It’s always heartwarming when people wake up and realize it’s capital ism and not merit ism

    And you realize a lot of the books and media you’ve consumed that explicitly stated that weren’t just making a comment on a goofy side effect of that system but the entire enchilada.

    As someone who doesn’t follow vtubers, I can confirm Holocure is excellent, and obviously made with love. Every character has a unique playstyle, and the aesthetc is a nice departure from the gloom common to the genre.

    “Holo House” is the farming and fishing minigame. I believe you unlock it once you beat stage 1, it shows up in the main menu as “???” until unlocked.

    SquigglyEmpire, do games w Flappy Bird Returns but now with microtransactions

    And the trademarks were sleazily grabbed from the original creator :/

    PunchingWood,

    It isn’t the original creator? I saw some advertising elsewhere that heavily implied that it was the same guy.

    If it’s just some company trying to leech of the success from over a decade ago, including microtransactions, that’s beyond pathetic.

    SquigglyEmpire,

    Unfortunately multiple sources seem to agree Dong Nguyen has no involvement, which is consistent with the way he originally shut down Flappy Bird due to people spending too much time on it :(

    “The Flappy Bird Foundation said it has acquired the official Flappy Bird trademark from Gametech Holdings LLC, a U.S. company that appears to have wrestled the trademark from Nguyen, as well as the rights for the original game and character from Piou Piou vs. Cactus, the mobile game that supposedly originally inspired the Flappy Bird character.”

    KickMeElmo, do gaming w You're Emulating Retro Games Wrong (you need CRT Shaders)

    Honestly, I hate the CRT aesthetic. I grew up with CRTs. Leaving them behind for LCDs was one of the greatest transitions of growing up. By all means, enjoy them if you do, but I don’t.

    thingsiplay,

    It’s not just the look of it, but the art and games were designed with the limitations of CRT in mind. Not all games off course. An example is the transparency effect on Genesis / Mega Drive:

    https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/ed89bb43-8e6a-4f17-a938-ab22d0447216.webp https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/813b1b23-0b41-437f-b6e6-7bb0535ae762.webp

    thingsiplay,

    Shaders are not only useful for CRT emulation, but also to get the look of handhelds:

    https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/4a23ad1c-c6e2-4bc1-9361-66a2317fae5c.webp

    DdCno1,

    Does this shader also replicate the horrific motion blur that the display of the original GameBoy suffered from?

    thingsiplay,

    There are two variants, one with motion-blur and one without. Besides that, often shaders have additional settings. One can change settings and save it as a new Shader Preset and use that instead. I have described it here: thingsiplay.game.blog/2024/10/19/…/8/-and-e…

    DdCno1,

    Thanks. I shall avoid the motion blur variant as best as I can, because that’s one of several aspects of this device I do not remember fondly.

    I borrowed a friend’s Game Boy for an afternoon when I was a kid and I was so disappointed by it (primarily the screen, but also poor ergonomics and the limited nature of its games) that I lost nearly all interest in gaming for a year.

    @Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

    My own experience with Asus warranty was of utter incompetence.

    It was a long time ago, around 10 years or so, and I sent a newly acquired laptop for repairs because of constants BSOD. Waited a month before getting it back… Without sound. Turn out they forgot to reconnect the sound card. I sent it back for repair, waited another month (because even if they are at fault, they won’t even fast track that repair), only to get it back with a nonfunctional touchpad. I don’t use it, so I didn’t send it back a third time, because who know what would have come back damaged that time.

    So their repair woes aren’t recent. When their stuff works, it works well, but pray that you won’t need to RMA it.

    MentalEdge,
    @MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

    I had a nightmare situation a few years back with a ZenFone 6.

    It bricked itself within a week, and after I sent it in I got months of radio silence, until I started calling them about it. They had no clue what the status of my repair was, there were a ton of orders for part after part, and it just kept going.

    Eventually I just started pressuring anyone I could with “I need a new phone, this old one is falling apart, I can’t just keep using it for months on end as you figure your shit out” and they eventually relented, instead just giving me an entire new unit.

    Last year I bought an Asus monitor with clearly advertised “on-site-warranty” (which means a courier comes to your house and just drops off a replacement in exchange for picking up the old one), it was DOA.

    I thought great, “on-site-swap” should have this sorted by tomorrow. I started the RMA and the first thing they want me to do is ship my monitor to Germany at my expense. I said “fuck no”, and instead returned it to the retailer as I was still within the return window, and then just walked into another retailer with more in stock, to pick up another, which then worked.

    Then, months later, some dude calls me and asks when I’ll be home for my on-site warranty swap, straight up dropping my jaw to the floor. I know I cancelled my RMA.

    Lo and behold, the RMA case-number wasn’t even the same, so for some reason Asus decided, on their own, to open another RMA, WITHOUT TALKING TO ME for a monitor I TOLD THEM I WOULD BE RETURNING. Maybe someone tried to fix the fuck-up of not honouring the on-site warranty, but holy fuck if that took two months, thank god I took it into my own hands and got it fixed within 24 hours.
