Good. The sooner those types of games die for good, the better

Draconic_NEO, do games w You'll Have To Wait At Least Two Years For A Faster Steam Deck

That’s fine, the steam deck is already fast enough as is. What I’m mostly interested in is a next gen steam controller for docked Gameplay. One with the same controls as the deck (Dual Analog) and also has USB-C, also since it would be more easily available than the Old Steam Deck controllers which you can only buy used and in ever increasing scarcity.

Given that I just bought one and am waiting for it to arrive in the bloody mail. I think that’s fine.

Also, I’m okay with playing less intensive titles regardless. If I wanted to be immersed with high fidelity stuff I’d use my gaming PC. I also chose the Deck over the Ally and Legion Go due to software integration and hardware repair options.

Quentinp, do gaming w GameStop Boss Says Disc Drives Should Be Required On Game Consoles
@Quentinp@lemmy.ca avatar

I have an XBox One S (and a PC) - really hits home when in Game Stop with my kids and they were looking around (mainly for figures and such), and i’m like “there’s nothing for me here”. Of course I haven’t bought a physical PC title in over 10 years now that I think of it. I feel for the shop owners, they haven nothing for me to buy and I used to like going to shop around. Come to think of it I used to go to book stores quite often too, but not since i got my first kindle.

I did recently re-buy an Xbox 360 and it is kind of nice to browse second hand shops and such and just pickup a game that I can just play without internet etc.

Yeah keep that mindset and follow Blockbuster’s fate.

Guildo,

Besides Gamestop - I think it could be important. What if the servers shut up in the future? How do you get your purchased games?

freeman,

You download them and back them up. What happens if the disc is scratched or your buddy drops a blunt on it?

InvertedParallax,

If they’re purely digital and drmed you can’t back them up.

freeman,

I have backups of my PS4, with games downloaded from the PS store that say different.

Heck any Playstation disc games tries multiple times to get you to save it to the HDD.

The DRM is the key part of that. So the answer is DRM-free, not physical media. Especially since all games get patched these days.

Guildo,

You can’t buy all games at GOG.

@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

You can't buy all games on disc either. Also, not every game on Steam has DRM.

Your buddy buys you a new disk…

jmcs,

If it’s still being published or if a second hand copy doesn’t cost more than your buddy’s annual wage.

What fucking second hand games are you buying? Beloved classics aren't that expensive.

TwilightVulpine,

In retrospect there were some advantages to Blockbuster compared to streaming services where stuff disappears every day.

Six months ago Cohen didn’t give a flying fuck about disc drives because he was selling the idea that you would soon buy all your games from GameStop on an NFT marketplace that they recently had to shut down because the SEC is cracking down on NFTs as Securities.

He gives a fuck now because his golden goose got shot in the head.

PlainsKeeper316, do gaming w Sea Of Stars Has Huge Day-One Sales, Despite Launching On Game Pass And PS Plus

It's really fun so far. It's been my "relaxing" game inbetween playing Baldur's Gate, Armored Core and Remnant 2.

Fermiverse,

That's what do as well. While I was desperate waiting for BG3 to release, when it finally arrived I was totally overwhelmed by the game. It is really heavy weighted. The shear mass of possibilities and consequences makes it hard, at least for me, to relax without fomo.

prole, do games w Cozy Games May Help Improve Players' Mental Health, Researchers Say

Anyone who’s looking for a great new(ish) cozy game, check out Natsu-Mon.

It would probably help to watch the Action Button review of Boku no Natsuyasumi for some context (yes, I know it is 6 hours long lol… but it’s a really good video).

burgersc12, do games w Next Xbox Rumored To Launch In 2026 With New Call Of Duty
@burgersc12@mander.xyz avatar

A third Xbox? I thought Microsoft was pivoting to mostly cross platform stuff, I’m surprised they want to try and push more Xbox consoles after their sales. Like another shitty console is gonna tank so hard unless they have a real reason for this new one lol. At least the handheld sounds interesting.

Kelly,

unless they have a real reason for this new one lol

If they spin this so gen10 Xbox games don’t have to offer feature parity on Series S that will please a few people.

Honestly I don’t care, that’s a pretty reasonable price compared to the lot of the content sold for AAA games. This isn’t even noteworthy in 2024

If its a single player focused with no (or very minimal) live service bullshit then great.
If not then well there’s bunch of indie or classic boomer shooters I’ve not yet tried that are just that.
