edgemaster72, do games w Final Fantasy Creator Reveals Which Entry He Thinks Is 'Most Complete', and It's Not Final Fantasy 7
@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

“In terms of the Final Fantasy that I think is the ‘most complete’; I believe Final Fantasy 6 comes close, and does stand out above the other Final Fantasies, especially because it was the last Final Fantasy to use pixel art in all of its visual expression,” Sakaguchi said.

@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

All the complaints are valid, but I don’t see the relevance in talking steam stats on what is primarily a Playstation game.

Still, when the servers are inevitably shut down in 6 to 9 months, I’m sure both players will be very upset.

I saw it on the shelf at a store, Googled it and was like “Live service? NOPE!”

magic_lobster_party,

Steam stats are the only stats available, and they probably correlate pretty well with console stats.

Helldivers 2 is doing really well on Steam despite being a PlayStation game.

Has this not been a thing for a while? What app do I have on my phone?

No seriously did I had to install an Epic Games app to get Fortnite on Android a while back.

Have I seriously had a virus on my phone this whole time? Am I that dense?

DragonTypeWyvern,

I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a launcher before and they’re releasing a “Store” now that Google and Apple have been slapped with anti-trust lawsuits. I think your best bet would be asking the folks at the Epic forums.

JusticeForPorygon,
@JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world avatar

Did a little research and it looks like that’s exactly what it was, just an app that existed to update the few first party titles they had

trolololol,

That’s the real official thing. But today the journo heard it for the first time.

rowdyrockets, do games w The Epic Games Store Officially Launches on Mobile Devices

The bastards actually built what looks to be a nice platform. I can’t wait to install a different launcher for every app on my phone!

doodledup,

Better to have competition than relying on the same launcher for every app. Monopolies are convinient but actually really bad for you.

And is paying to have a game exclusively on your store good? Remember: Most people use Steam for the features it has (arguably whether necessary or not). Remember when it used to scan your Steam friend list file? Or the fact that it took three years for a shopping cart? Or the fact that the UI looks barebones? Oh, and Goat Simulator 3 was paid for as a temporary exclusive, and they were like, “Yeah, add it as a non-Steam game🤷‍♂️”? Or the fact that when someone hacks your account, you can send all the proof you want, but they say, “Nah, fuck you,” while Steam does a better job? I can say that because, even if not directly, I helped someone recover their account with a simple email screenshot and receipt of a payment. Competition is good if you offer something better, and no, “free games” are not something better. People are even complaining about them because they don’t give away AAA games but only “garbage” or repetitive ones.

That’s the normal user base you get in their lemmy.world/comment/11811952 collect and never play

Ahahahahah downvoted for facts lol at least is all available online what I say. The truth hurts

rowdyrockets, (edited )

For what it’s worth - I think I agree with you. But your message rambles on and never makes a concise point. That’s most likely why the downvotes. You can always ask a LLM to tidy it up for you next time.

Edit: LLM = Large language model.

Cris16228,

LLM? The point is to never use something so inferior. It’s not a good competitor, it only ruined the gaming industry on pc

rowdyrockets,

Yes but here’s the thing. I bought my iPhone because it’s damn simple. I don’t like spending time on my phone, simple is efficient. I’m envisioning a future where I have a folder full wallet apps because every debit/credit card institution creates their own. All circumventing the privacy restrictions Apple forces on their AppStore. Truly the consumer has lost in this situation. If I didn’t want to use the AppStore - I would have bought a different phone.

proton_lynx,

Just STFU man

rowdyrockets,

Oh whoopsie, I didn’t see your opinion police badge.

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe it’s because I’m not a Fallout fan, but I didn’t like that one either. I didn’t finish it, to be fair, but I watched the first 3-4 episodes and I found it nonsensical for the most part.

From people and animals healing within seconds of them injecting some sort of Jesus juice, to armor suits protecting against explosions and extreme fall damage but not angry bears, or people living for centuries in the surface but from the looks of it the apocalypse happened just two days earlier, with no one bothering to clean up their own house a bit. In one scene you see soldiers wearing thick metal armor flying around on helicopters, in the next scene there’s people using bottle caps as a barter resource.

And that’s just about the verisimilitude of the setting and the events. The writing felt very amateurish/childish for the most part. Again, I have no reference to the source material, but from an outside perspective, I wasn’t impressed.

The visuals are very good (not ground-breaking by any means, but they do their job well), but that’s the extent of the praise I’d give to that series.

Well then wheel of times failure is based on whoever wrote it too. Either way OPs comment doesn’t really make sense.

KuroiKaze,

As a wheel of time, invincible, the boys, and fallout fan I feel extremely targeted. I’m a Yakuza superfan so I will have to watch this but I hope they don’t mess it up. I’m still playing infinite wealth but once I’m done I’ll have completed every rgg game except of the end and that PSP exclusive neither of which I’m going to go back to.

mrfriki, do games w Bethesda Quietly Removes Denuvo DRM from Ghostwire: Tokyo

Played this on Game pass (the only way to play De Nuevo games in my opinion) Liked it a lot.

LiveLM,

Would you say the combat is repetitive?
This game looks neat, I’ve been thinking about picking it up on a sale but not sure if I should

mrfriki,

Combat is certanly not its strongest point, I wouldn’t call it repetitive, I found it fun at best and serviceable at worst. The best part of the game for me was traversing Tokyo by night, the powers your character has make it very enjoyable and the landscape is beautifully crafted. Also there are a lot of Japan urban legends and folklore mixed in there too. I’d say it’s a solid 20 hours experience. But it you are in it mostly for the combat I wouldn’t recommend it to you.

LiveLM,

Oh this sounds lovely.
I’m not in it for the combat at all, I was afraid I’d have to suffer through it, but if it isn’t too bad, no problems for me. Thanks!

mrfriki,

You are welcome, enjoy it!

@CharlesReed@kbin.run avatar

That's how I got around to playing it recently too. I spent way more time than I should have wandering around just looking at stuff.

mrfriki,

Yeah, some games like this are more about the mood, the settings and the exploration, even if it and empty alley or some random convenience store than the actual gameplay.

Where were you when British got kill

SplashJackson,

What any good citizen do and call “Guards! Hi vendor buy bank recdu recsu”

Maalus,

I loved these stupid binds. I was part of an RP server and each time I saw one my stomach churned. Lots of newbies talking up the big bad red in mystic armor, and the dude just ignores them, yells at the banker and fucks off with a Kal Ort Por. Better yet, a random blue casting a portal for a friend into the heart of Britt, the guy that’s running gets in and starts yelling his banker binds while standing on the other side of the portal. Baddies go through, suddenly lots of shit on the floor that you can grab since yoinking reds didn’t set crim.

Honestly I don’t even know what was modded / added in and what was in the actual game. Them going open source with Modain’s Legacy was such a boss move.

Fucking EA. Let’s hope the Ubisoft one is good. And gets finished.

It’s going to be Assassin’s Creed with lightsabers, probably. Potentially Far Cry with scifi weapons, like Blood Dragon.

Can’t say that I mind that.

Maybe a Ghost Recon / Rainbow 6 in star wars? Aka Republic Commando successor.

KingThrillgore, do games w Xbox Next-Gen Console Confirmed, Will be 'Largest Technical Leap in a Hardware Generation'
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

The big 2 vendors jumped on the Raytracing bandwagon too early and it shows.

UsernameIsTooLon,

Ray tracing was the hot new buzzword after CP2077 showed off what consoles couldn’t at the time.

Unfortunately the tech didn’t even mature on PC yet, at least not without upscaling and now frame gen to help get it to more pleasing framerates.

retrovg,
@retrovg@cwb.social avatar

Ray tracing in this generation was a classical case of "biting more than you can chew". Huge distraction.

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah I thought the same reading that.

Even in the very game, CP2077, as impressive as it can be, it can also be just as disappointing. It’s still a nice technical marvel, but it’s not at all the gamechanger it wanted to be.

And there’s games such as A Plague Tale Requiem where the baked lighting looks flat-out better in most scenes than the raytracing, since unlike the “realistic” raytracing they hand-crafted it to be unrealistic but fitting for the tone and atmosphere of the scene. So I turned it off again.

I’ll be honest, so far the only game where RT universally made me go “I’ll leave that on, that’s awesome!” is Riftbreaker. And it has a comparatively minor effect there, but at least a purely positive one (CP2077 I prefer at native rez over RT + DLSS which gets a weird pseudo-blur even with carefully tweaked resharpening, it’s just part of how it renders I think as other games don’t have this issue).

KingThrillgore,
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

And all for prettier shinies. No offense, but SSAO/Cubemaps are still damn pretty looking and cheaper in terms of resources. For me, 2077 still runs like ass with raytracing even today.
