I’m skeptical that there’s a filter like this over the whole game. If you look at the all of the leaked screenshots together none of the others are anywhere close to this dreary to my eye. Although some of the other images have different issues like extreme darkness/low gamma which makes me think some of them were never intended for the public. They have also since been pulled from the site (supposedly this was the original location). Maybe it was a look they were testing at some point and then scrapped, who knows.

lath,

Meh. Day/night cycle, which means this was probably evening.

Auzy, do gaming w The steam deck is just great

There is also more diversity on the steam

At this point, 90% of Nintendo is just Mario remakes, and broken joycons

The original concept for Bioshock infinite.

johntash, (edited ) do games w What's a cancelled game you really miss?

Starwars Galaxies, pre CU

MrScottyTay,

That’s not cancelled, that’s just a game that was taken down.

There’s a bunch of private servers for it too. My first experience is the game was through one of them and it was pretty great.

johntash,

I completely forgot private swg servers exist. Maybe I’ll try to find one and give it a try

Wilco,

Man I miss SWG.

johntash,

I’m hoping the new Dune Awakening game will be good. It gives me some SWG vibes.

Wilco,

Really? I was already planning to check it out, 2 people in my D&D group are going to try it … now I really really want to.

I just hope that PvP is not a requirement. That ruins games.

johntash,

I don’t know if I’ve seen anyone else compare it to SWG, so it might be hopeful lol.

PvP isn’t supposed to be a requirement afaik. It does sound like it’s more helpful to have people in a party vs playing solo though.

EverQuest Next. That game would have been the best MMO ever, if they would’ve stuck with it. Unfortunately, SOE got bought out and the new owners were whackos who didn’t care. It’s sad because nothing has come close since then. Only GW2 and ESO have even a fraction of the concepts of EQN.

StarCraft Ghost

ONI 2

Tar_alcaran,

Or the C&C3 Renegade game

thiseggowaffles,

Woah, what? They were going to make a Renegade-style game with C&C3? That would have been so much fun!

Charapaso,

Oni was so much fun: I would love to see how it feels now, but my nostalgia for it is off the charts. Martial art combos, plus sci fi guns: there’s just nothing else like it out there, which is a bummer.

exu, do games w HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to war

Any total war game really, you also get the fun of actually commanding an army.

_cryptagion, do gaming w Why doesn't Steam support Android?

Because Valve has gone to fair lengths to not become shit, and they probably don’t want to start now.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

I don’t understand what that has to do with the discussion.

_cryptagion,

Yes, I imagine you don’t. Which is probably why you asked the question in the first place.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

…would you like to explain?

Revan343,

They’re implying that the entire android software ecosystem is shit and should be avoided

_cryptagion,

Not Android specifically, I’m talking mobile games in general. I’m on iOS, and it’s not any better here. Mobile games are usually free for a reason, and that reason is that they are loaded with spyware, ads, and shitty monetization practices that I very highly doubt the majority of PC gamers on Windows, Linux, or MacOS would like to see become more prevalent on their platform.

And I while I don’t think Valve is some benevolent corporate overlord that’s looking out for what’s best for us, I do think they know how to extract a lot of value out of PC gamers for many years, and that’s by generally giving us what we want.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

loaded with spyware, ads, and shitty monetization practices

I mean that’s already the case with PC games…? Only slightly better because they are not Google and don’t allow straight-up ads for third-party products and services, which is what most of these “free” mobile games run on anyway. Valve has the potential to make a much better experience.

If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.

_cryptagion,

If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.

I won’t, because it isn’t a thing and never will be.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Excellent, so you agree it’s not the problem you made it out to be?

_cryptagion,

That’s the argument you decided to go with? Really?

Yeah, it’s not a problem in the same way that you having a cohesive thought happen to wander through your barren mind is not a problem.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

It wasn’t my argument, it was yours.

_cryptagion,

You won’t get a notification unless I reply directly to you, so see my reply to the other person.

Boomkop3,

Google has made quite some effort making android a mess for anything but themselves. If I were valve/steam I would not want to maintain a store on there

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Seems to work just fine for me and all of my 3rd party apps and stores 🤷

Boomkop3,

Android is probably the least consistent os out there. And that every phone manufacturer has to have their own spin on it doesn’t help. You got lucky, or some bog standard big brand thing

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

It’s called diversity. It has its drawbacks but for the most part it works just fine. That’s why it’s the most popular mobile OS in the world.

Boomkop3,

No, it’s the most popular because it’s free and can be stuffed onto basically anything while being pushed by the largest advertising company on the planet. Diversity has nothing to do with this

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

It can also be delivered with said advertising company completely removed from the system. Because it’s open source.

Did you notice how the alternative wasn’t even involved in this discussion? Why do you think that is?

Boomkop3,

They were? Because steam already is on windows and linux?

As for Apple products: Apple does not like 3rd party app stores or allowing other companies to take payments. It took a legislative fight with the eu and quite a few fines before they decided to stop being ass much of a bunch of assholes.

If I had a good running market I wouldnt bother with apple either

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Because steam already is on windows and linux?

Really? You’re really going to pretend Windows and Linux are alternatives to Android? Can we just have an honest conversation, please?

It took a legislative fight with the eu and quite a few fines before they decided to stop being ass much of a bunch of assholes.

You’re mistaken. They’re still a bunch of assholes. If you specifically live in the EU you might be able to distribute your own apps but they still require Apple’s rubber stamp and Apple still gets to collect the vast majority of their tax. Not the case for Android (anywhere). And it’s been this way from the beginning.

Boomkop3,

They’re platforms you can game on, are they not? You can plug a controller or a keyboard in either.

Also I never said Apple wasn’t a bunch of assholes. I’m just glad a government stood up to them

BigBenis, do games w What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion?
@BigBenis@lemmy.world avatar

Dave the Diver!

The_Ferry,

Dave the Diver has a very good early game, but eventually the grind just became needlessly tedious in my opinion. I liked going down and getting the fish etc. but the grind in mid to late game is just very time-skip heavy

RizzRustbolt, do games w What is the best Sea based game out there in your opinion?

Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker has some of the most fun sailing physics of any ocean game I’ve ever played.

And the physics were realistic enough that you could fill out the map before you got the ability to control the winds just by tacking the boat.

Ocean theme was stuck in my head the moment I saw the question.

Leeuk, do games w Steam Deck / Gaming News #10

Another top post.

I’ve pre-ordered the switch 2 (never owned the original) but already concerned about the reception its receiving. Seems Nintendo keep making mistakes with this one, similar to the wiiu… The only plus is I’ve already paid in full for it (UK Curry’s brick and mortar store) so hopefully no price increases for me plus got Mario kart world bundle so didn’t need a 2nd mortgage.

BrowseMan,

Hope you’ll enjoy the Switch 2! :)

If I were you, I’ll be on the lookout regarding Nintendo communication about possible improvements to the joycon drift problem of the Switch 1. Especially since they said they won’t be using Hall effect joystick.

I’m back into tears of the kingdom on switch 1 these days and I understand why I dropped the game in the first place: joycon drift can be… simply rage inducing.

samus12345,

The 2nd mortgage will be if you plan on playing more than a couple of games a year.

WetBeardHairs,

I’m waiting for someone to decide whether they want to pay their mortgage or keep the switch 2. Then I’ll buy their house or switch, whichever is cheaper.
