Big publishers weaponizing randomization elements in games against the players' wallets. I hate this era of gaming...

Opening chests with random magical loot used to be fun when I was a kid, a classic fantasy trope, not a monetization shadow pattern :/

@hal_5700X@lemmy.world avatar

or like the OG version. Yeah, the 1997 game was a open world after you leave Midgar.

Poayjay,

It was an open world with only one path through it

Mamertine,

Once you got the blimp it was legit open world.

Good lord just do the same shit they did with the original but update the graphics.

They're going to ruin this... 😕

Ultraviolet,

The ending of part 1 was literally killing a manifestation of the concept of being a remake. It’s a sequel to FF7R, in which the subtitle “Remake” was a red herring, not part 2 of a remake.

Considering how much it smacks you in the face, it amazes me how many people fail to see or completely ignore the subversion of destiny/fate plot point.

Wugger,

No one fails to see that after playing the game. As the person above you said, the game title was deceptive. We were told it was a remake, but were given something else instead.

@helloharu@lemmy.world avatar

That’s not what they said at all, especially not in the manner you’re arguing.

money_loo,

Maybe I’m just high, but I can’t for the life of me understand what the fuck this means…lol

naticus,

Essentially “Remake” was the subtitle of the game, rather than a term like remaster. It was subtle until the end, but you’re remaking the story’s timeline. It’s a sequel, not a remaster or reimagining of the original.

Also, yeah you’re definitely high. Like damn dude.

Donjuanme, do games w Diablo 4 dev on winning players back with Season 2: "It feels like it's enough of a motivating factor for people to come back and play"

Unfortunate for them d3 was so devoid of creativity and hungry for money, d4 doesn’t get a glance of interest from me. RIP bliz your corpse survived long enough to become the villain.

IONLYpost, do gaming w THOSE GAMES is a pitch-perfect parody of "those games"
@IONLYpost@kbin.social avatar

confusing name ok

king_dead,

The full title is “YEAH! YOU WANT ‘THOSE GAMES,’ RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET’S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM!” But the article shortens the title for readibility. I think it’s very straightforward

Uli,

“Hey, you want to play some YYWTGRSHYGNLSYCT tonight?”

“Yeah, I’d love to play some YYWTGRSHYGNLSYCT, bro.”

“Cool, let’s get our YYWTGRSHYGNLSYC on.”

“Wait, what game?”

I wish they had an android version. Sounds like exactly the game I need fkr my otherwise gameless tablet

chaogomu,

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a damn good game, and highly addictive. It's on the older side, but is still actively developed. It's available basically everywhere.

Uli, (edited )

My favorite games on Android:

  1. Shattered Pixel Dungeon
  • [Endlessly replayable roguelike. Clear each floor, identify potions, drink the right one to level up so you can use better weapons and armor, keep your health high and see how deep you can get in the dungeon. Game time only advances when you move.]
  1. Slay the Spire
  • [Deck building game. Use attack, skill, and power cards to beat enemies and earn new cards, use your choice of cards, relics, potions, and card upgrades to create synergies in your deck and make it past all three acts to win the game. Deck resets when you lose (or win).]
  1. Infinitode 2
  • [Tower defense game. Stop enemy shapes from advancing to earn gold, use gold to buy new towers, upgrade your towers, and swap out various types of tower to maximize your efficiency. Keep an eye on how close enemies are getting to your base or it will be overrun before you notice.]
  1. Super Auto Pets
  • [Pocket monster-style battling game. Use a limited amount of resources each turn to buy new bitmoji animals and watch your team face off against a random opponent at the same stage of the game, keep hearts if you win, lose hearts if you lose, get better quality pets each round you progress. See if you can win ten rounds to claim victory.]
  1. Tomb of the Mask
  • [Classic-style 2D arcade game. Use the four directional controls to zip past moving obstacles, collect all the dots on your way to the exit if you can, enjoy the snappy movements and fun retro sound effects. Very reflex-driven.]
  1. Antiyoy
  • [Turn-based hexagon-tiled conquest game. Buy houses to get more income, buy soldiers and towers to protect your land, upgrade soldiers and towers to face off against enemy assets, careful you don’t upgrade them more than your income supports, enjoy the many hundreds of user-submitted maps. Single player by default, or get Antiyoy Online to compete against other players.]
  1. Mindustry
  • [Realtime strategy. Research new technologies, build mining drills, create weapons, face off against enemy forces to control the map. Steep learning curve.]
  1. Dungeon Cards
  • [Tile-based strategy game. Pick a card, help your card survive on a 3x3 grid by using the four directional controls to swap places with any adjacent card, while being careful not to pick fights you can’t win, be strategic about when you pick up weapons and potions. Don’t get caught surrounded by poisons, explosives, or enemies at the wrong moment.]
  1. Atomas
  • [Science-themed matching game. Distribute atoms around a ring, watch atoms merge and transform into larger atoms when they match, set up chain reactions of many atoms each finding their mates at the same time, careful not to fill the ring beyond its capacity. Learn the periodic table in the process.]
  1. I Love Hue
  • [Relaxing color matching game. Get a mess of jumbled tiles on a grid and swap tiles around until they form pleasing gradients along both the y and x axes. Breathe in. Hold… Breathe out.]

Honorable classic game mentions:

  • Chess [It’s chess.]
  • Rummikub [“Rummy-cube”, compete against other players, using tiles from your hand to form “runs” (red3, red4, red5) and “sets” (red3, blue3, black3) in the playing area until a player wins by using all their tiles. At least 3 tiles per set/run, must play 30 points from your own hand on the same turn before manipulating tiles played by others.]
  • Rommy’s Gauntlet [Level-for-level remake of the Windows 95 “Best of Windows Entertainment Pack” classic, Chip’s Challenge. Tile-based puzzle game.]

Seconding Slay the Spire. I’ve lost many hours to that game.

comeonitsnotlike, do games w Red Dead Redemption 2 overtakes Mario Kart 8 as the 4th best-selling video game of all time, boasting 79 million sales

I was really, really late into this game. Now, 70h in, I’m like “this is a very good game, dude!”. (makes my cheap ass, waiting for it to go to sale seem… well, I am poor, but I know I wouldn’t have been disappointed, paying full price for it, and I’m not even near completing it, yet…)

zecg, do games w Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies"
@zecg@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, it’s a forever brand, can’t wait for it to be forever shelved after someone buys it as a piece of Ubisoft’s corpse.

wreckedcarzz, do games w Soulja Boy is selling video game consoles again, and he's already being accused of ripping off an existing handheld: "He does not have permission to rebrand our products and sell them as his own"
@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

Soulja Boy I tell em, I got the new scam called the Soulja Boy (Oof!)

frezik, do games w Ex PlayStation exec says Sony can't keep "increasing the graphics power" with new consoles after tech plateau, but PS5 has already "made almost every game a better game"

Moore’s Law was originally formulated as the cost per integrated component being cut in half every x months. The value of x was tweaked over the decades, but settled at 24.

That version of the law is completely dead. Density is still going up, but you pay more for it. You’re not going to build a console anymore for the same cost while increasing performance.

High end PC’s can still go up, but only by spending more money. This is why the only substantial performance gains the last few GPU generations has been through big jumps in cost.

Important to note, the current chip fabrication process of 5nm is very close to limits imposed by the laws of physics. Unless a wholly different chip making process is invented that can go even smaller, we might be looking at the actual limit of the tech.

banazir, do games w Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes
@banazir@lemmy.ml avatar

Seems like the kind of guy I’d want in charge of my company. “Don’t buy my stuff” is some next level 4D marketing.

paraphrand,

He probally knows only a certain percentage of his audience will ever hear about this.

MyDarkestTimeline01, do games w Battlefield 6's beta has only been running for a day, but it's already suffering from a FPS curse with cheaters breaking out the wallhacks

The problem with turning off cross play on Xbox is if they access through the game bar or game pass it treats it the same as the console.

Fiivemacs,

better to just turn the game off, refund it if you can and never buy their crap again.

Killer,

The beta is free

Fiivemacs,

still not worth it…

Given the history of Battlefield, so what? Anyone buying at launch only has themselves to blame.
