Half-Life was the same. The game doesn’t spoon feed you a narrative, the same way real life doesn’t have a narrator (at least one outside of your head).

You need to pay attention to your surroundings, listen in to NPCs talking, read posters on the wall, etc to piece together the story.

It was and is one of the cooler ways to do storytelling in my opinion. Cutscenes etc are fine but for a first person game, I love the immersion of the story happening around you rather then being loredumped on you while your agency is taken away from you.

Auster,

Agreed. And in this line of more subtle storytelling, from the games I played from the franchise, if anything, it took all the way to Portal 2 for some things to start making sense.

Not only the author of the post frame the ineffably marvelous Ubisoft for their Assassin’s Creed only, or the people in the organization who are not even related to the case, and for literally unknown reason, but also the author of the review feels like a disrespectful bigot who has likely a bad time yet enough to make a choice to inscribe their pure hatred into someone’s effort, history, and indeed novelty. One might want to suggest them to try creating anything at least remotely marvelous to the subjects, they try speaking at, with their own hands…

Such a deep sorrow some people do not care about their actions, about anyone, including artists, developers, people in general… and ruin this world in hatred and utter, disgusting unfairness…

You do you, @Speedforce and that reviewer, and let’s hope no one will state something so awful about your work after decades, hatefully believing their word has any weight the world outside their mind of hatred.

A dear kindergarten is it…

Agrivar,

Dear lord, I actually hope you used AI to write that nonsense.

I never use LLM except for pentesting or experimental/medicine.
Meanwhile, I am sorry to know that you found it nonsense.

experimental/medicine

You use AI for literally its most dangerous possible use case. And I assume you used a mediocre translator for everything else. Try DeepL, I found it has good results most of the time.

@artwork@lemmy.world avatar

Sorry, no. And I am sorry you found LLM useful, and consider experimental/unverified data “dangerous”, likely inadequately or for the sense of hateful trolling, and it’s hard to live that way, I presume…

MotoAsh,

Yea. It’s easy to make a pretty game these days. Pretty is not equal to good.

Note that I will fully admit Ubisoft owns some decent IPs. Owning decent IPs does not make them a good company.

Thank you!

Schmuppes,

Watch Dogs 2 is a weird one. I absolutely understand all the criticism and see the flaws, but I still play it and the breaks between two runs only get shorter. I love its rendition of SF and the Bay Area, the game has that je-ne-sais-quoi that draws me towards it.

Watch Dogs Legion though? Oh my goodness…

artwork, (edited )
@artwork@lemmy.world avatar

Thank you! I believe both titles are abs((float)$incredible)/INF… The story, characters, references, technical features, or every single bit and algorithm is perfect…

Not to mention upgraded kernels and shells, including drones and 'dgets!
Yet it all may not match the “good” you are searching for at this particular moment, or would it? How could we know!
Both titles were developed by different genius teams even, the former is Ubisoft Monreal, the latter - Ubisoft Toronto!
I.e. Even if MetaSploit and not Snyk’s or PortSwigger’s but FOSS is there… you may still find that the payload in all the exploits the solution provides you with, written by OSINT or more hopefully red… authors on the wires, is indeed a required parameter to be set upon execution/injection by you, the main host in the network! 🦋

How to not find Watch_Dogs 2 and Watch_Dogs Legion both very different and ineffably marvelous…
I uploaded a few screenshots found in some remote backups:

Being bored and hateful is a choice. It all depends on what you are searching for, doesn’t it ^^

That is so… meta! ~ Wrench ✨

Boiglenoight, do games w RetroDECK 0.10.0b Is a Ground-Up Rewrite, Not Just an Update

I built a Steam PC not too long ago. I’ll give this a shot.

DoucheBagMcSwag, (edited ) do games w RetroDECK 0.10.0b Is a Ground-Up Rewrite, Not Just an Update

Let me know when retro deck supports ALL Switch emulators and to not pussy out and purposely not support them

Oh I’m so sorry, it seems that you struggle with reading!!!

This isn’t anything to be embarrassed about, kids and adults have trouble with reading and comprehension all the time. I’d encourage you to get your parents or a guardian to look into education help. Even (at the worst) YouTube should have plenty of basic comprehension lessons available, which will make following these complex patch notes easier to understand!

Let me know when retro deck supports Switch emulators

Ryubing is the new Switch emulator.

Added: A new Emulator: Ryubing

Let me know if I can be any further help! More than happy to help you with reading. I’m also really good friends with the developers behind RetroDECK, so I can always pass on your beautifully and kindly expressed comments.

DoucheBagMcSwag, (edited )

No thanks. I’ll just keep using EmuDeck with the ability to keep using Yuzu, Citron and Ryujinx

Edit: and Eden

arnitbier,

You are one condescending little bitch aren’t ya

Then you have the balls to act like your better then others

Hope you get to find out with all this fucking around your doing

Lots of indie and retro games play fine without a GPU

Situation is dire, AAA games are growing more unsustainable by the day

TheMinions, do games w RetroDECK 0.10.0b Is a Ground-Up Rewrite, Not Just an Update

So what’s the difference between Retrodeck and Emudeck? Is there a benefit to switching over really?

Dariusmiles2123,

RetroDeck has the advantage of being a Flatpak and not needing Deckyloader plugin if you’re using a Steam Deck.

I’ve had a great experience with it👍

ExLisper,

RetroDeck has the advantage of being a Flatpak

Download Size: 2.14 GiB

Dariusmiles2123,

So what? How much bigger is it than the other one?

If it allows me to not change too many things on the Deck to install, I’m okay with wasting some space compared to other solutions.

Also it can emulate not just one console.

ExLisper,

That’s nice but for me if a software is also available as a Flatpak it’s an advantage for people that use Flatpak. If it’s available only as a Flatpak (which this one is) it’s a disadvantage for all the people that don’t use it. 2GB for one app is insane. Duckstation is ~80MB

Allero,

Most people don’t care as long as it’s not 100 GiB

The ease of installation, management, and removal is a higher priority for most. Hence, Flatpak is superior for an average Joe.

Doesn’t hurt to use native options if you like them.

Blaiz0r,

RetroDeck doesn’t leave crap all over your system and cleans up after itself.

TheMinions,

Perfect answer, thanks!

Can it work on these android retro handhelds?

PerfectDark,

No, this is not built for Android!

nutbutter,

You should consider using Retroarch instead.

my midrange vr gaming pc from 2017 is still playing games today so i don’t know if i’ll ever feel the need to drop $1.2K on a console. like when my pc finally dies i might just spend that same money on new parts lol

@MeowerMisfit817@lemmy.world avatar

Somehow, I never had that first feeling. The first console that there ever was at my house was a PS2 (my dad’s), and the only game he purchased was a SNES Station. So I kinda grew up playing only pixelated games. Turns out I got too used to it and play almost no realistic games.

gmtom, do gaming w When I was a child I thought as a child...

I still stand by the whole “Glorious PC gaming master race!!!” Circlejerk had a profoundly negative impact on video games, as for about 10 years the mainstream gaming community seemed to only give a shit about frame rates and resolutions and Devs where happy to just focus on that instead of making their games fun to play or have interesting stories.

ken, (edited )

Stories?! In MY games?! We have AI for that at home.

do you even raytrace lol

/s

faintwhenfree,

Unfortunately, I’d have to agree with you. I recently got told by my brother that he a late thirties piss ant, thinks my 1440p 144hz monitor is shit compared to his 4k 260hz. Piss ant plays only dota. Only game he plays is dota. FUCKING DOTA. he is fucking herald 3. It’s like he is bottom 20%, he lives life in 30 fps and thinkshe can get use from 260hz.

Bosht,

I don’t even want to know what the price tag on his monitor / TV was.

Eh, I think that’s more of a business thing. Numbers are something execs can compare on spreadsheet. Putting more budget into making number go up is something execs will do. Creativity can’t be quantified as anything other than risk.

Of course anyone that likes video games knows making the same game over and over just with more pixels is boring. But how can you explain that in the form of a spreadsheet?

gmtom,

Of course anyone that likes video games knows making the same game over and over just with more pixels is boring

I wouldn’t be so confident in your average video game consumer. How many “HD Remake” games sold like hotcakes?

skibidi, do gaming w When I was a child I thought as a child...

In most games I find no matter how good the static assets look, the animations immediately break the illusion of ‘realism’.

One recent exception to this were some of the cutscenes in Expedition 33, the facial mocap was very on-point and, even though the game isn’t anywhere close to photorealistic, it felt close to watching real actors perform a scene.

jaschen306, do gaming w When I was a child I thought as a child...

Ghost of Yotei did a great job in gameplay and graphics.

mika_mika,

Excuse me this is a circle jerk about why indie games are clearly superior.

jaschen306,

Why can’t we just enjoy games that are fun?

Tattorack, do gaming w When I was a child I thought as a child...
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Me; neither.

I’m incredibly sick and tired of videogames usually picking just two lanes:

  • Super photoreal graphics, optimisation be damned, that’ll look dated in just a few years.
  • Pixelated nostalgia tripping for people still stuck in the past.
knexcar,

There are plenty of video games that strive somewhere in between, like Cities Skylines, Factorio, Zelda Breath of the Wild, etc

Funny cuz it’s true

JadenSmith, do gaming w When I was a child I thought as a child...

My expectations were far lower, without me realising it, as a child.
I remember getting Mortal Kombat 4, on the N64, and thinking “holy shit, the graphics are so good!!! SO 3D!”

My gosh the graphics did not age well.

WorldsDumbestMan,

I remember Resident Evil 2 used to scare the pixels out of me!
