Dave, do games w Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Is Kerbal Space Program 2 worth playing for someone who had fun with but was bad at 1?

Reviews are - not good.

Hubi,
@Hubi@lemmy.world avatar

Not really, the first one was better in pretty much every single regard.

EdibleFriend,
@EdibleFriend@lemmy.world avatar

I haven’t really been following because the first was just beyond me…how did they fuck up part 2?

Blaster_M,

They released the game early access, so everyone was expecting a perfect game from the start because of how much development went into 1. Honestly, while 2 had issues, the game engine is much better than 1, they just needed to bake it more, like several years more, before releasing it hot off the heels of 1.

sobanto,

The problem was not only the state they released it. It was the price they wanted for it. 50€ for a game in alpha ?

hobovision,

Man that’s been the case with these sequels to games I really loved. Happened to Cities Skylines as well, and at first it seemed like that’s happened with Helldivers but it turns out it was so good it just ruined the servers.

ourob,

In its current state? Not unless it gets heavily marked down (KSP2 does have better tutorials and a more accessible progression system).

With the studio being shut down, it’s likely that what we have now is all we’re getting.

Dave,
@Dave@lemmy.nz avatar

Hmm maybe I’ll check on it in 5 years. Cos holly hell that price! Priced like a AAA game.

rtxn,

Priced like a AAA game.

It is a AAA game. It stopped being an indie when Take Two bought it from Squad.

SchmidtGenetics,

Why are we defending publishers and letting them get away with using this term this way? The term should be earned for its content and quality. AAA should not mean “large studio”.

This whole “we are a AAA studio”, when they haven’t even made a game and got the business license the day before is fucking stupid as shit. Don’t use the terms the way they want it to be used.

variants,

I always thought AAA just meant they have a lot of money, like how cod games are AAA because of the budget but are still terrible, not as an indicator of quality

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

they’re right though. it has nothing to do with “defending” anyone, that’s just what AAA means.

en.m.wikipedia.org/…/AAA_(video_game_industry)

SchmidtGenetics, (edited )

What other industry uses the term that way? Every other industry is quality. AAA to refer to size…. Right….

I know that’s how the term is used, it’s just fucking wrong when every other industry uses it differently……

Don’t let them get away with this shit. You are defending them. Notice how your link even says informal……… they are trying to make it a thing, when no other industry uses that way, and other people in the industry are calling it out.

You’re trying to defend this stupid shit.

If you continue to use this incorrect term, it will become a thing, that’s what they are hedging on, people like you letting this happen. AAA means quality, they aren’t putting out quality product so they are trying to change what the term means so they look good. Way to eat that shit right up.

acosmichippo,
@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

it’s all informal marketing jargon in every industry bro. this is not a hill to die on.

SchmidtGenetics,

And that’s how marketing wins, when everyone just rolls over and accepts it.

Nah, this is just part of a long list of shit the rest of the gaming industry is trying to reverse, stop letting this continue to happen and stop defending it.

rtxn,

What are you talking about? The “AAA” classification has always been a measure of corporate involvement and budget, not of quality. If you think that being large in scale and having good production quality is what makes “AAA” games, you’re dead wrong.

SchmidtGenetics, (edited )

What are you talking about…? What other industry uses it that way? Every other industry is quality, not size. Don’t let them get away with this shit.

Don’t defend them and let them get away with this shit.

If you continue to use this incorrect term, it will become a thing, that’s what they are hedging on, people like you letting this happen. AAA means quality, they aren’t putting out quality product so they are trying to change what the term means so they look good. Way to eat that shit right up.

rtxn,

okay dude

SchmidtGenetics,

The AAA games they used to put out were quality games at one point. So the term was correct, now that the quality has slid they are trying to get marketing to work on their side.

And people like you letting them get away with it is how it works.

I think this is where people usually say shill and boot licker in these exchanges.

rtxn,

okay dude

SchmidtGenetics,

Way to explain your point with anything of substance dude….

You’re the reason why marketing works so well. Say something flashy and people will find a way to defend it and support them. Even if it’s nothing to do with anything.

rtxn,

I’m just letting you rant yell at clouds

SchmidtGenetics,

So nothing but a troll defending corporations using terms how they want…? Okay. Keep using the term the way they want so it means literally nothing anymore! You are the problem, glad you made it obvious! Thanks!

rtxn,

you’re welcome

Oderus,

Nope. It’s hot garbage and I say that as someone with over 2000 hours in KSP.

MonkderDritte,

Better last KSP 1 and full-out modding?

Cocodapuf,

It’s absolutely not “hot garbage”, but it’s definitely not done.

Oderus, (edited )

It’s terrible. They released an Alpha at full price. They changed how building rockets was done, for the worse. Performance was horrible even on my 3080 and aside from prettier graphics, there was nothing really new to explore. If it were cheaper, I’d be kinder. If it performed decently I wouldn’t mind but they released a POS of a game knowing full well KSP1 owners would buy it and it made us all look like suckers. They knew they released an incomplete game at full price and didn’t deliver. That sir is hot garbage.

flux, do games w Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome
@flux@lemmy.world avatar

Rollerdrome was very solid concept but the difficulty curve was pretty intense. One second you feel like you have the hang of it the next you can’t get to the next arena.

Khrux,

Yeah I absolutely adored the concept and would love.to see it picked up. I discovered it after pitching to a friend Tony Hawk’s Borderlands 4 and gradually realising the proof of concept existed.

Its formatted properly, per Lemmy’s web page.

Its using subscript/superscript fonts, so you might want to double-check if your client is supporting those fonts properly or not.

Subscript: subscript ~subscript~
Superscript: ^superscript^ ^superscript^

If the above does not display correctly, you need to talk to the devs of the client that you are using. I’m using the Lemmy web client.

Weirdly enough, different Lemmy Android clients for Lemmy also work differently with the scripts formatting, each having their own quirks. One person though did fix their problem by upgrading their client app to the latest version.

I had thought it was all one single standard, when first started using the formatting. My original intent was just to have a smaller font, as I was at first just using the link format without any subscripting, but people were complaining about that, so I was trying to compromise and make it smaller.

    I remember it having initial difficulties due to optimization problems on most platforms. It’s almost like what they’re really saying is “We see how much time and effort it would take to remake it properly, and we aren’t willing to give that to developers because SHAREHOLDERS.” An excuse which an executive from Larian recently commented on and provided some useful insight towards.

    loops, (edited ) do gaming w ‘Dead Space’ Franchise Is Officially On Hold at Electronic Arts - Bloomberg

    Meh. I really disliked Dead Space 2. The time altering ability made the game too easy so I didn’t put any points into it. Then I get to that one regen boss where you have to use it to open a flippin’ door before it smashes you. Really dumb to have an optional ability that becomes mandatory for like one part of the game (and to open a dang door at that). I never got past that door, and I never completed the game.

    The first Dead Space is awesome though, but I’m not sad there won’t be a third fourth(???). Never would have bought it because the ability tomfoolery in the second.

    speedstriker858,

    CharlesReed,

    Are you referring to the statis? All of the Dead Space game have that feature, even the first one.

    loops,

    SERIOUSLY?! I guess I didn’t use it at all in the first one too and completely forgot about it. Unless it wasn’t in the original game? I seriously don’t remember anything like that in the first one. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Oh well, not that it matters. Hate it just the same.

    Swallowtail,

    Stasis was in the first game, yes. You were required to use it several times to be able to pass through a few malfunctioning doors. You get it for free early in the game and don’t have to upgrade it at all to open the doors, preventing the game from soft locking itself.

    loops,

    Ahh I remember now. Thanks.

    darkphotonstudio, (edited )

    I disliked DS2 as well. All those stupid QTEs and cut scenes made it a slog. It just wasn’t fun or scary

    darkghosthunter, do gaming w ‘Dead Space’ Franchise Is Officially On Hold at Electronic Arts - Bloomberg

    Yeah, but the writing was on the wall when it came to Xbox Game Pass a few months later. If Microsoft deal was better than burning its sales, then that was it.

    Also, there was some other rumors that the sequel wasn’t green lit immediately since the sales of the first game didn’t meet EA expectations. Who knows it that can be attributed to missing Halloween and holidays.

    I think Dead Space 2 remake will never come. Motive is working on the next BF and the Iron Man game, that look like safer investments than a sequel of a game that failed commercially (in their books).

    The form factor is excellent, if a bit flimsy. But games like TOTK and whatever next 3D Mario game comes out deserve to have better graphical fidelity than what the current switch can put out. I stopped playing TOTK because I just kept getting framerate drops.
