sculd, do gaming w Former Ubisoft executives reportedly arrested over sexual harassment allegations

Still boycotting all Ubisoft titles. Doesn’t care how good they are. This is simply unacceptable.

I don’t feel wanting to buy any newer Ubisoft titles either.

I’m not so much boycotting them, it’s just that AC has been trash since Black Flag and we don’t have a Rayman 4 yet… so… what am I gonna buy, nothing?

sculd,

Agreed on AC but Division is a pretty fun shooter. Not playing the new one anyway.

TwilightVulpine, do gaming w Starfield leaker arrested for felony theft after attempting to sell early copies

Dumb shit to do but a felony? That's just excessive. This is no violent crime, and it's not a large scale one either.

Once again the law seems to care more to serve corporate interest than what is just.

Corporate interests pay politicians and judges who make and pass laws. This guy stole a game and gets a felony, but did anything happen to those who cause financial crisis or housing crisis? They usually get bonuses

tokyo,

I was thinking the exact same thing. That is wild. It really shows you how much power corpos have. They literally destroy the environment in so many different ways and get told: pay these fees and you’re good. Business continues as usual.

But this dude? God forbid he leaked and sold a corporate product. Nothing less than a felony is clearly warranted.

Damn, I should really go back and play this. Bet it runs great on Steam Deck too!

That’s a great idea. Lemme add that to the queue. Right after I finish Hades 2 and baldur’s gate, and expedition 33 and…

Hey, those are on my list too!

OptimalHyena,

Played dishonored 1 and 2 earlier this year on my steam deck and they played great. Also FYI - month ago I grabbed expedition 33 and started it - as someone who loved ff turn based games and baldur’s gate and turn based pathfinder, I found it extremely boring. Quit playing after forcing myself to continue for 15 hours thinking it would get better.

Probably just me, but maybe look into it more before making the buy.

Yeah I honestly have so many games that I haven’t played that I’m going to wait for a big sale on it. I’m always so behind the times that I never get anything at release.

Alabaster_Mango, do games w Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic
@Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca avatar

Dishonored is my favorite video game series of all time! I play that thing every year, lol. Love the stealth challenges and all the ways you can approach things. I really enjoy the sequels too, and this year I’ve finally gotten into the books. Fantastic game. Also they leaned heavy into the style, so 13 years later it still looks decent. Not nearly as aged-looking as “realistic” graphics from that time. Those still look decent too, all things considered. But stylized graphics tend to fit their current limitations better than pushing for realism.

THERE ARE BOOKS!?

@Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca avatar

And a few comics!

Novels

Dishonored: The Corroded Man
This takes place about a year before Dishonored 2, and POV characters include Emily and Corvo. I really liked this one. Especially how it expanded on the relationship between Corvo and Emily. Some neat character insights too. Emily is canonically a beefcake.

Dishonored: The Return of Daud
This one follows Daud during the events of Dishonored 2 as he looks for the Twin-bladed Knife. Really cool concept that is once again brought down by Daud and his Daud-ness. “Woe is me, I killed the empress! Who can I push this blame upon to heal the hole in my black heart?!”. I’m making my way through though. It does show a bit more of Gristol that is outside of Dunwall.

Dishonored: The Veiled Terror
I haven’t gotten here yet. It follows Billy Lurk after Death of the Outsider, and how she deals with the consequences of the ending of that game.

Comics

I have not read these at all yet, and they may be hard to find.

Dishonored: The Wyrmwood Deciet

Dishonored: The Peeress and the Price

There may be more, but those are the only ones I’ve heard of.

I never played Descent itself, but I played a shitty clone on one of those “1000 Games on 10 CD-ROMs” packs back in the day.

After learning about the source material, I always wanted to go try it but haven’t taken the time.

gnu, do games w Remembering Descent, the once-popular, fully 3D 6DOF shooter

Descent was one of the first games I had to play, I remember it fondly. It came bundled with my family’s first computer (along with Lemmings and Simcity 2000) so I spent a fair amount of time on it. The freedom of motion you had in Descent was impressive - albeit easy to confuse yourself with - and something I have rarely seen since.

I buy pretty much every console there is, but I’ll pass here. Maybe there will be a price-cut OLED model and a new “Best of Switch 2” Series of games with cut prices (like on GameCube or Wii). Also I want to wait and see if the Joy-Cons 2 get drifting issues.
