Blackmist, do games w Shower thought, traversal in open world games have turned from game mechanics to loading screens

The annoying thing is they don’t really need to. PS5 SSD loading is near instant. They’re still using techniques that I first noticed in Soul Reaver.

Still we’re a long way from San Andreas and it’s miles of open country between cities to hide the loading.

  • Buttflapper,

    Uhhh what? Are we talking about the same things? Steam doesn’t do sales to individuals. If they put a game on sale for $8 it’s that price for everyone, unless I’m missing something?

    GasMaskedLunatic,

    This will be true in the future, but you are absolutely incorrect today.

    For some people, it’s worth $60. It’s really that simple.

    Just to say that the question might not only concern niche games. Any game that you do not buy shortly after its release might have a negative impact on the franchise (because most sales happen in a few weeks, with rare exceptions of course).

    MacAttak8,

    Great point. Completely agree this applies to any niche games or even any niche market as a whole.

    My personal connection and the reason I posed this is me considering whether or not to pay full price for the fate/stay remaster as well as the tsukihime release.

    x00za, do games w Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead?

    I stopped playing due to all their stupid additions all the time. Like the sailing/whatever skills they want to add, it’s all bullshit and copium by and for adults wanting new stuff. Their “democratic” voting is an absolute joke; “oh it didn’t pass? let’s just poll it again with slight changes”. That’s a cheap and dirty way of pushing their own agenda.

    I did the maths some time ago, a subscription to 1 Runescape character is 20 times more expensive than a WoW character.

    clickyello,

    does them adding new content somehow detract from your ability to do whatever it was you liked to do before said content was added?

    “I hate that expansions are provided at no additional cost, and also it costs too much” is kinda one of the wildest takes on the game I’ve ever heard ngl

    x00za,

    Yes it does. The waste of experience feels terribly wrong on RS.

    Velonie,

    I don’t understand your last paragraph unless there’s some weird regional pricing going on. It’s $13.99 USD for a month of Runescape membership vs $14.99 USD for a month of WoW membership

    x00za,

    WoW membership gives you 65 character slots.

    Ephera, do games w I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying.

    There’s this open-source, Diablo-like game/engine, called FLARE, which I find interesting in that regard, because the basic gameplay is there. My monkey brain is having fun with it, i.e. getting an endorphine rush, because big numbers go brr.

    But they obviously don’t have the budget of Blizzard, to try to hide that that’s what it’s doing.
    I think, around 4 times throughout the campaign, you get the same spider model, but this time it’s five levels stronger than last time. 🙃

    If you don’t mind gacha games, I’ve been enjoying Honkai: Star Rail. The battles are turn based, some of the puzzles and events are a bit reaction time dependent, but not difficult generally.

    @Bruncvik@lemmy.world avatar

    HoMM is a turn-based strategy game, not RPG (with the notable exception of HoMM IV where you had real hero development). That said, there was a genre of RPG’s, which used to be very popular in the 80s and 90s, and which all but disappeared. Those were party-based first-person RPG’s with turn based (or close to it) combat. Popularized by Wizardry, and followed by Might and Magic, they inspired other series like the Ishar Trilogy. Other games employed real-time combat, but slow enough or pausable, to mimic turn-based. Popular series were Eye of the Beholder, Lands of Lore, Dungeon Master, and others. Nowadays, I occasionally see one of these games from independent projects, but it seems that the golden age of this sub-genre has passed.

    Oh? Warframe is finally off the top 10?

    Admittedly, it’s probably been off it for awhile. I just haven’t really been paying attention to top 10s in a long while.

    Buttflapper,

    I wouldn’t know. I’ve never played it. It’s not really my kind of game

    It spent many years around spot 7. It has since fallen off.

    @pixeltree@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    Which is kind of funny because that corresponds inversely with the quality of the game lol. The game director changed and they have been killing it every since

    Coskii, (edited )
    @Coskii@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    I fell off from the game for a number of reasons back when deimos was released. I went back to it to catch up on quests and a lot of original gripes of why I left in the first place were still firmly in place.
