I wish them the best flop

lustyargonian, do games w Just months after reportedly cancelling two live service games in development, Sony announces a new PlayStation studio with a live service game in development

Devil’s advocate: they created a new studio with all the lessons and right core employees who understand the space the best.

Well atleast they are trying stuff unlike some other trillion dollar company that keeps on buying studios but still fails the make good new ip (hell! they are struggling to keep halo intact).

lustyargonian,

Word

CaptSatelliteJack,

Yeah, I think they made that, too

SkunkWorkz,

Funny how that almost describes several other US companies besides MS. Like Amazon keeps failing at releasing a game and when they do it’s trash. And Meta keeps losing billions in the VR space. Tech bros have no clue how the triple A gaming industry works, since games actually require creativity and you can’t simply hook people with an algorithm.

@Slab_Bulkhead@lemmy.world avatar

if rockstar really wanted to win over all gamers, even the ones not planning to play gta, they announce base gta 6 at 50. and then have the 'early/access-10 min early-uber shark complete edition with a unique purple skin at 100 or whatever the fuck they think the whole things worth.

That’s sad and disgusting.

This is why we need to have 90 dollar games! /s

Apex is literally free to play

MyDarkestTimeline01,

Don’t be pedantic you know what they meant.

Empricorn,

The exact opposite of what they said?

Apex has a story?

arudesalad,

It’s a spinoff from titanfall, a series with a lot of cool world building, it would be a bit weird to have no story at all.

It’s also a live service so they need to copy fortnite have an in game explanation for the updates

No, they have “lore”: a bunch of inconclusive and loosely connected animation shorts, vague plot points, and character bios that give just enough of a reason for their seasonal events to occur and for fans to drool over. Just like every other live service.

Duamerthrax,

While I feel sorry for her as a worker, I do not feel sorry for her as a writer.

Live Service writing for AAA studios has got to be the most disposable form of fiction. I can find old short stories from magazines that closed close to a century ago, but I can’t play the Destiny series from start to finish today?

Command and Conquer for the modern age, I love it!

BoxOfFeet, do games w 'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know
@BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world avatar

$602.41 for 50 games in 18.4 years. Cost at today’s prices: $698. I’d say that’s a win.

2,095 hours. 72% of games played. Guess I need to get to work.

I wish I could track my pre-steam numbers. Id be interested to see how much time I put into Mechwarrior 3, or Rollercoaster Tycoon, or Unreal Tournament.

Kolanaki, do games w Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

I can definitely hear the difference between my PC and my PS5.

My PC’s fans are way louder than my PS5.

CarbonatedPastaSauce,

Stop buying cheap fans?

My last two PCs I built were top of the line and they’re basically silent just with Noctua air cooling.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

It’s literally the GPU’s (a 1660 Super) fan that’s loudest. I can’t change that out, afaik. The case fans are Noctuas and the CPU has a Corsair AIO liquid cooler.

CarbonatedPastaSauce,

Ah yeah not much you can do about that unless you put an aftermarket cooler on it and that’s a PITA.

    LOL, imagine thinking you’d ever actually have a wide selection of in-stock GPUs to choose from and wouldn’t have to settle for what you can get.

    Agent_Karyo,
    @Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

    Surprised it’s your GPU fans that are the loudest, I barely hear my 3080 and I regularly heard the CPU cooling fans, but then again I most play strategy games that heavily bottlenecked by CPU.

    GPU fan noise is not something that’s easily fixable, unlike CPU cooling.

    SkunkWorkz,

    You can just buy those adapter cables that lets you connect PWM case fans to your GPU and just jury rig the fans onto your GPU. Not the best looking setup. But I rather have a silent PC than a good looking pc. Like you hear your PC constantly while you only look at your PC once in a while.

    I love how like every once and a while we get games with random outlandish concepts like Untitled Goose Game or Squirrel with a Gun

    Instead of issuing refunds on any purchased in game currency, Zynga informs players should quickly spend it in game before the game shuts down lmao

    I’ve been gaming on my SteamDeck for quite a while and I will continue that. There’s no way that I’m paying that much money for a new gaming computer

    lud, do gaming w 'The point is to be generous': This $20 FPS releasing next month is trying something new—giving away a full version of the game

    That’s nice.

    Steam has something like this for split screen games. If one person owns the game the other player can stream their games and play split screen like they were together. Apparently over 13 thousand games support the feature: store.steampowered.com/search/?category2=44

    DrSteveBrule,

    I have never heard of this, thanks for sharing!

    lud,

    No worries :) I guess you have already found it but for anybody else here is a link for more information: store.steampowered.com/remoteplay#together

    Scrath,

    I’ve tried this once with divinity original sin 2. With my internet connections slow upload there was unfortunately too much compression going on causing the game to look horrible
