I hit 16 a few months ago.

mosiacmango,

Orange box homies say whatsup.

funkmunki,
@funkmunki@lemmy.world avatar

Yes! I spent entirely too much time in TF2 and Gmod.

mosiacmango,

Haha yup. I bought it for half life, but figured i would play the other games first. Portal was amazing, so I gave TF2 a shot next.

I didn’t play half life for like 2 years.

wowbagger,

Hitting 20 in 5 hours… ;)

ipkpjersi,

I am at 16 as well. I feel so old now lol

aulin,

Only 18 here.

ReluctantMuskrat,

Same here. I created my account after getting Half-Life 2 for Christmas. Hard to believe that came out in Nov 2004.

XTornado,

15 here.

This was great when Celeste did it, I hope more games embrace it.

tetris11,

I really want this for a lot of games. GTA5 became this absolutely beautiful spectacle of a game once I had the ability to control the flow of time. Something beautiful about launching a rocket and watching it crawl to its destination under the twinkling sunlight, past the unsuspecting bypassers who barely have time to register that something is up. Breathtaking game.

Klanky, do games w Larian CEO Responds to Divinity Gen AI Backlash: 'We Are Neither Releasing a Game With Any AI Components, Nor Are We Looking at Trimming Down Teams to Replace Them With AI'
@Klanky@sopuli.xyz avatar

I really hope this marks the end of the internet’s weird love fest with this company and CEO. They don’t care about you in the slightest.

realitaetsverlust,

Yeah because why like a company that has released banger after banger after banger without any MTX or other bullshit attached to it.

the_q,

Because one day they won’t. The more money a company makes the closer they get to being every successful company.

_cryptagion,
@_cryptagion@anarchist.nexus avatar

well until that day, we’ll love them. one day the fucking sun will explode, but you won’t catch me saying we should stop using solar generators.

the_q,

That’s not a very good comparison, but do whatever you want, bud.

realitaetsverlust,

So what, then I can still dislike the company lmao. What’s the point of hating something in advance?

galaxy_nova,

Because then you don’t get cool points for going puts sunglasses on “I always knew those guys were evil! I’ve been hating them longer than you!”

Amnesigenic,
@Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml avatar

Not really “in advance” if they’re openly discussing doing the thing that people are mad about right now, more like right on time

dogslayeggs,

I predict that this thing that is really great right now will become bad, so instead of enjoying it while it is good I’m just going to assume it will definitely go bad at some unknown time in the future and boycott it before it gets there so I can tell everyone I was right in the past.

Sounds logical.

the_q,

I didn’t say anything about not enjoying it or boycotting it. I said that the more money Larian makes the more likely that they’ll turn into every other profitable company where making money becomes the only point. I don’t know why you and the other replies think I said something I clearly didn’t.

Klanky,
@Klanky@sopuli.xyz avatar

That may be true. Still a company, still doesn’t care about anyone besides as a consumer. I don’t get the weird parasocial relationships people develop with any company/corporation.

BryceBassitt,

I dont give a shit if they care or not, they make amazing games

Credibly_Human,

I mean, yea, trends exist.

This thing is good.

What’s bad is the marketing dark patterns and mtxs.

What a Trainwreck

emb, (edited ) do games w IGN interview w/ DK Bananza devs

A couple interesting bits:

  • Koizumi is the one who suggested this team do a DK game
  • They decline to specify information about DK’s age, why Pauline is 13
  • DKB started out on Switch 1
  • Part of the inspiration for the gameplay was one dev just doing technical experiments with voxels

DK's age, why Pauline is 13

Why are people so obsessed with connecting this game to some weird timeline

prole,

There are people who play Nintendo games for plot? Lol

samus12345,

It’s never made sense.

Why is Mario still young when Cranky Kong, the original Donkey Kong, is old?

victorz,

It’s make-believe—it doesn’t need to make sense.

samus12345,
@samus12345@sh.itjust.works avatar

Many make-believe things do need to make sense to actually be enjoyable. Not Donkey Kong games, though.

FooBarrington,

WAIT CRANKY IS DONKEY?

My whole world has just been shattered

Walican132,

Rare games aren’t Nintendo Cannon? (Idk just finding something new to argue about on the internet)

samus12345,
@samus12345@sh.itjust.works avatar

Nintendo isn’t consistent in their own games, so it doesn’t matter either way. Mario and Luigi race with baby versions of themselves!

Walican132,

Ah so the better theory then is eventually at some point time travel is invented in the Mario universe and is used in wildly inappropriate manners.

“Bet I can beat infant you in a race” “You’re on!”

samus12345,
@samus12345@sh.itjust.works avatar

I guess Partners in Time would be when the time travel was discovered! Conveniently explains child Pauline as well, I suppose. Well, the “how,” but not the “why.”

Walican132,

Yeah we are never going to know why. Also why no shoes. Have they never been on the internet.

FooBarrington,

It’s simple market analysis.

Elden Ring has women with bare feet and is very successful.

Expedition 33 has woman with bare feet and is very successful.

Walican132,

Street fighter 6 and Juri support this as well.

Fucking gooners.

@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

It’s interesting that both this and Mario Kart: World originally started as Switch 1 games, and only later they decided to move to Switch 2.

CluckN,

I remember when they did that with Breath of the Wild. Link literally has a WiiU gamepad that you can’t use on the WiiU. You can only use it as a main monitor.

Ulrich, do games w 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

I’m sure they can but I think they also see the growth in the PC gaming industry as a potential opportunity to capitalize with “XBOX OS”.

rdri,

With “optimized for gaming” premise? That’s obviously nothing more than “hey we decided to allow you to terminate resource hungry explorer/copilot/edge when you play”.

Ulrich,
@Ulrich@feddit.org avatar

Correct.

Megaman_EXE, do gaming w As Gamers Express Concern About Borderlands 4 Potentially Costing $80, Gearbox Chief Randy Pitchford Says: ‘If You’re a Real Fan, You’ll Find a Way to Make It Happen’

I don’t know about you all, but I’m looking forward to checking out all the games I’ve missed in the past 20 years.

Sylvartas, do gaming w As Gamers Express Concern About Borderlands 4 Potentially Costing $80, Gearbox Chief Randy Pitchford Says: ‘If You’re a Real Fan, You’ll Find a Way to Make It Happen’

Does Randy even realize how much the industry’s landscape has changed ?

First of all you’re in competition with your older games. BDL1 and 2 had soul and were good. BDL 3 is still ok (no idea about the pre-sequel but I heard it was the beginning of the downwards trend). Not to mention the literal hundreds (even thousands for some of us) of other good games sitting in our libraries. And the indie bangers consistently proving that we don’t need to pay 80$ and download a 200 Go day one patch to enjoy the medium in 2025. I hope this bankrupts Gearbox at this point.

…yeeeeah

clarinet_estimator,

For real though, I’m so glad I got out of consoles haha.

The_Che_Banana,

Same, although I use the SD as a console, lol…

I had the original Xbox all the way through the last series and sold it to get the last 100€. I hadn’t bought a game on the Xbox since No Man’s Sky and just didn’t see anything appealing about it anymore, it was just a steaming box until it was gone (and is at a friend’s, who is using it as a streaming box, lol)
