Gabadabs, do gaming w Warner Bros. Discusses "Volatile" AAA Console Games, Will Lean Into Free-To-Play And Mobile

another out of touch company to avoid the games of I guess

Telorand,

That’s okay. The indie scene has plenty of amazing titles to keep anyone busy for a long time!

ShadowCat,

any suggestions?

Telorand,

Depends what you’re looking for.

  • Deep Rock Galactic is my most common recommendation. Dwarves, mining, space bugs. Devs care a lot about the community and community input.
  • Elite Dangerous is great if you want an excellent space flight sim (Frontier isn’t exactly indie, but the Elite devs operate like one).
  • Warframe is fun and has the absolute best, non-predatory F2P model.
  • Lost Ruins, Batbarbarian, Aquaria, and Hollow Knight are excellent Metroidvanias.
  • Ori and the Blind Forest is technically a Metroidvania, but it’s a beautiful experience, from the art, to the story, to the music.
  • Yoko Island Express is a pinball platformer. Yes, you read that correctly.
  • Blasphemous is a 2D Souls-like.
  • Hades, RAD, and Mana Spark are great rogue-lites.

You could spend hundreds if not thousands of hours on the first three alone.

DRG is fantastic gameplay! Up to 4 player coop, procedurally generated, different mission types.

Rock and Stone!

I hope all the big scummy game development companies fuck off and go ruin other things. Indie games are often the only half decent games these days anyway.

It’s insane that a company can miss the point by this much…

Just make a good product, do everything you can to avoid fleecing your player base, and they will come. Then you can add microtransactions that people can buy. You gotta earn that shit through merit of a good game.

    There also isn’t any guarantee that a quality game will actually sell well, especially if the dev takes a risk and creates something new instead of releasing the 14th installment in a well-established series. It sucks but this is what it looks like when you have gigantic businesses steering video game development.

    Translation: making very shit console games gives little returns, whereas making mobile f2p shit is not only cheaper, but with better returns.

    darkphotonstudio, do gaming w Warner Bros. Discusses "Volatile" AAA Console Games, Will Lean Into Free-To-Play And Mobile

    A company focusing on f2p and mobile. Haven’t we already been through this like around 10 years ago? I don’t recall that working out too well the last time.

    “live and work and build and pay in that world in an ongoing basis”

    There, that’s more what they’re envisioning.

    @kittehx@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

    I’d never heard of this thing so I interpreted the title as saying they’d be adding ads to the graphics cards and I was very confused

    boringbisexual,

    Shhhhhh

    Don’t give them ideas

    Growth at all costs, ey? A shame, GFN is such a good service

    TheAlbatross, do gaming w Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree Preorders Are Already Discounted

    $40 for a DLC is fairly ridiculous, $35 isn’t much better.

    That’s more than half the price of the base game! Is the DLC going to have more than half a base game’s worth of content?

    Glitchington,
    @Glitchington@lemmy.world avatar

    Most likely. From Software traditionally make some of the best DLC in the industry.

    TheAlbatross,

    Sure, but they don’t have more than half the base game’s worth of content and time in em.

    An especially daunting task with Elden Ring, which is huge.

    I worry that this kind of price point will become acceptable if this does well and I simply don’t think that is okay. $40 is far too much for DLC.

    Yeah anyone on PC should try and cross reference prices on the various 3rd party storefronts vs Steam. I use gg.deals to do this.

    well, because it is f*in expensive

    Karak,

    Expensive, came out at the worst time due to COVID, got eaten up by scalpers, and few exclusives. What did they expect?
