Eh…I’m not surpised. Age of Sigmar is Warhammer’s dumb little brother. It’s not a very interesting thing.

I thought the community had come around on it after some updates. I wouldn't know, I haven't been into TT Games Workshop stuff in ages.

In any case, the core of the tabletop game has nothing to do with whether a game adaptation is good or not.

Mirodir,

Looking at the reviews on Steam, I don’t think the setting was anywhere close to the largest problem.

Breaking News: Gamers surprised to hear anyone still plays Mario Kart 8

SpookyUnderwear,

I am. Played pretty hardcore between 2014 - 2016. Didn’t realize it was still going strong.

smeg,

Speak for yourself, “gamer”, it’s the latest Mario Kart game, obviously we’re all still playing it. Have you gone back to Double Dash?

PobrePerformer,

The latest one is “Mario Kart Arcade GP VR” how can you call yourself a “gamer” if you don’t have four of these machines in your living room? Smh

smeg,

I actually built my own go-kart track next to a tortoise sanctuary and a banana plantation for the true experience, casual!

CrayonRosary,

Mario Kart Arcade GP VR

Does it come with a vacuum tube to collect the vomit?

3ntranced,

I just meant in the sense that it was in the top 20 games in the US. Of course its the most popular mario kart game at the time, but I had no idea people play it enough to generate a concurrent playerbase that large.

With the general lack of content beyond the initial unlocks/DLC and track packs, I wouldn’t think there was that many people playing essentially becomes a time trial game every day. Then again I play wow now so maybe I do understand.

smeg,

This is to do with sales, not any concurrent active player metric. Even if it weren’t though, Mario Kart is about playing with friends locally!

3ntranced,

Just need to get some friends…

smeg,

Everyone’s your friend when you’ve got Mario Kart! (Then you blue shell them on the line and you’re back where you started, worth it though)

At some point, it’s had to hit full saturation.

sebinspace,

Fuck, even I bought the game, and I’ve been a simcade Forza/Gran Turismo addict for years, haven’t played MK since the N64.

It’s good. Really good.

@p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Destiny 2 came out in 2017. Maybe make a new game, instead of trying to leech off of the old one for 6 years?

False,

You can’t even play the game from 2017 anymore

Nope. So glad I quit when I did and haven’t looked back. The more I see what it’s become the more I’m happy with my choice.

ManosTheHandsOfFate, do games w Sony Defends PS Plus Price Rises - IGN
@ManosTheHandsOfFate@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve been in Plus for quite a few years now. I used to be able to get it for $40 around Black Friday. That was an acceptable price. If I can get it for $60 this year I may re-up. There’s no way in heck I’m paying $80.

InEnduringGrowStrong, do games w EA Sports FC 24 Players Say $30 Launch Week Loot Box Highlights Everything Wrong With Ultimate Team
@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

Classic cash grab, not too surprised.
Yet people keep buying these games.

loobkoob,

Despite some of the players complaining, a lot of the audience likes the pay-to-win mechanic. It's not a game funded purely by whales; a lot of average players will spend money on the loot boxes. "I like that it means I don't have to grind for ages, I don't have time for that" and "it feels like the sports trading cards I had when I was a kid" are a couple of the reasons I hear somewhat regularly. The idea that it could be designed to not be grindy in the first place doesn't even occur to them.

InEnduringGrowStrong,
@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

Very true.
It’s also kinda sad.

The idea that it could be designed to not be grindy in the first place doesn’t even occur to them.

Orphan crushing machine vibes.

calewerks,

There’s also still a sizable chunk of the audience who doesn’t even engage with Ultimate Team, and just wants to play all of the other game modes.

whereBeWaldo,

I am trying to convince my best friend to not buy the same cashgrab game every year but my mans just can’t stop himself. At least he doesn’t partake in any microtransactions.

Binthinkin, do games w Capcom President Thinks Game Prices Are 'Too Low' - IGN

Poor management is the problem. Your overhead has nothing to do with us. You suck at business and cutting jobs is all you do.

Games are not worth more by any means. The market is saturated and AAA games release unfinished and you still make your profits and bonuses.

The problem are the elite shitbags who go to elite schools and get cherry picked by other elite shitbags who continue the cycle of enshittification of the world rather than hiring good hard working Americans within that KNOW their industry and the products where people like Tim Apple and whoever this Capcom CEO ding dong do not at all.

This. And customers are finally catching on that even AAA companies are using buyers to do their quality assurance for them.

csolisr, do games w How Four Friends Built a ‘Hypercube’ to Play Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Together in 2023

I wonder how accurate would it be to do this setup using Dolphin and four instances of mGBA instead of original hardware.

poke, do games w How Four Friends Built a ‘Hypercube’ to Play Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Together in 2023

It’s a shame that the remake of this game removed some of the best aspects of it.

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

Its more than a shame, it ruined the replay value completely AND I can’t play it with my kids to get them into it without buying a switch for each.

eddanja,

Yeah I tried to play it with my girlfriend on the same switch, swearing it was multi-player but, no.

If your game is not already in development. Forget this shit, use Godot.
