DoucheBagMcSwag, do games w Payday 3 developer drops Denuvo from the game before it's even out

Good. Having Denuvo in an always online game was fucking stupid

I still won’t play it because it’s another always online live service

Oh that would be amazing. If I had control over my game console.

AdmiralShat, (edited ) do games w [Rumor] Nintendo Switch 2 reportedly uses Nvidia's DLSS to boost frame rates

While there’s a current DLSS thread, am I the only one who actually likes the aesthetics of DLSS, regardless of FPS? It adds a softness to the whole image that reduces eye strain for me and make the game more cinematic almost.

RonSwanson,

From what I understand, DLSS is also the best anti aliaser there is. No jaggies makes everything easier on the eyes

@Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de avatar

The recent versions are much better. But it also depends on the engine. I haven’t played Cyberpunk2077 since release, but there the trailing shadows of moving people and cars were very visible. Hopefully these issues are a thing of the past.

AdmiralShat,

I remember the Witcher 3 had some pretty shitty interactions with DLSS, too

There’s “DLAA” which has the DLSS softness without the upscaling part. Some games support it, would recommend checking it out.

AdmiralShat,

Noted, thank you

And009,

I’ll check it out when I can afford a gaming pc again

algorithmae, do gaming w Legend has spent years making Portal for the N64 and by Gaben he's done it

He’s documenting his progress on YouTube, pretty interesting!

I know demakes are all the rage, but I don’t know if this counts. It’s just… the game, but on console hardware from a decade before Portal. That’s really impressive, especially given just how restrictive some of the limits of the N64 are.

bermuda,

That makes sense. I think demakes have a bit of retro style, but if he’s recreating the game it might be closer to the whole “running doom on any piece of technology” trend. Gameplay wise it’s the same doom, it’s just on an ATM now.

Tahssi, do gaming w Bards are Baldur's Gate 3's best class and I can't imagine playing it as anything else
@Tahssi@yiffit.net avatar

My Drow Warlock has been a ton of fun. A lot of the NPCs react differently to you for being a Drow. I’ve been able to deceive or intimidate my way through a lot of dialog. Also Eldritch blast just feels very satisfying to cast in game.

ConstableJelly,

That sounds good too 😭. This post was a terrible idea lol, I’m less certain now than I was before I posted.

Tahssi,
@Tahssi@yiffit.net avatar

Haha I would just think about what sounds the most fun to you and play that. You can have 3 other npcs in your party that you control so you can have them fill in the gaps that your character may struggle in

o_oli,

Eldritch blast feels soooo good doesn’t it? The effects in this game are so well done.

pixel, (edited ) do gaming w Videogame fantasy settings are staler than mouldy bread right now
@pixel@beehaw.org avatar

I’ve been playing Guild Wars 2 a ton over the past two years and honestly I’m really glad I’ve spent so much time in the setting, it’s so not traditional fantasy and it’s richer for it. I wish that more fantasy played with the expectations of the genre. Tolkien-esque fantasy is a great jumping off point but I wish authors/creators did more with it than just start and stop there

MoogleMaestro,
@MoogleMaestro@kbin.social avatar

Really wish this game had controller support. I want to try it on the steam deck but only community bindings are available!

pixel,
@pixel@beehaw.org avatar

Yeah I agree, especially bc it’s on steam now and the steam deck puts a premium on games with controller support. But even on PC sometimes I feel like I’m short on buttons, but there’s probably some way to play comfortably on a controller and anet really aught to invest in it

Maven,
@Maven@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I got a Logitech MMO mouse, and it’s great, I can play onehanded for most things!

TowardsTheFuture,

With action cam it’s definitely playable with a controller but I doubt they’ll put in controller support because like… there’s a billion different bindings and everyone rebinds everything in their own so there’s not much point? Browse community bindings and find one that works for you/your character(s).

Maven,
@Maven@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yesss I’ve been playing since Guild Wars 1, I was there when the last day dawned on the kingdom of Ascalon, and I looove how they’ve evolved the setting over the decades! I’ve run D&D games set in it, and it’s a great great time

Rhoeri, (edited ) do games w Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year

Categorically, this article doesn’t even belong in this sub. Star Citizen isn’t even a game…. It’s a scam.

We’re screwed.

DoucheBagMcSwag,

panda_abyss, (edited ) do games w After Black Ops 7's weaker launch, Call of Duty will no longer do back-to-back releases in the same series

I saw it had robots and shit and noped out of even thinking about buying it.

I can’t keep up with what the current cod game is, they’re wannabee super hero babes games which bear zero resemblance to the original games. It’s a characature at this point.

Edit: fixed autocorrect typo.

SalamenceFury,
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

Anything that pisses off milsim obsessed manchildren is a win in my eyes. You have hundreds of games at your disposal, go play them.

panda_abyss,

Huh?

I just think the game looks and plays bad. I’m clearly not the target demographic, but the older COD games I grew up with are a completely different tone/style/game to the modern arcade shooters.

I said I noped out of it, not that everyone should.

SalamenceFury,
@SalamenceFury@lemmy.world avatar

Here lies the problem: A lot of FPS players literally only want ONE fucking tone for EVERY FPS, which is like. Serious-looking milsim appearance that takes place in the present day. That’s it. They’ll literally attack any futuristic game as “it’s a mobile game” and “not realistic”, as if that should be the only thing that dictates if an FPS is good or not. I for one am tired of it, especially considering most of the people who are extremely anal about that are either chuds or fascists who want to roleplay as a super soldier fighting for the good ol’ US of A. So when people constantly talk about how “ah this thing has robots I don’t want to play it” it immediately triggers that suspicion in me.

Not to mention, this whole obsession with “realism” to me is absolutely stupid. I don’t need to see literally every pore on an old man’s face for my game to feel good. Hell, you have games like Hades II, Silksong, MOTHER 3, and a fuckton of other games that are just extremely good that none of those people try because they’re not realistic.

acme401, do games w It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it
@acme401@lemmy.world avatar

I deleted my account, intentionally losing access to all my games. Fuck EA. I will not be associated with murders.

Krompus, do games w It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it
@Krompus@lemmy.world avatar

EA (Respawn) peaked at Titanfall 2 and hasn’t released anything good since. I set them to Ignore on Steam a few years ago.

zaphod,

Jedi Fallen Order was good though (also Respawn).

Krompus,
@Krompus@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah Respawn is a good dev, just a shame they got bought by EA and scrapped Titanfall 3.

real_squids,

And even then they massively fucked up by ignoring all the ddosing for years. It gave us Northstar but it’s a paid fucking game, come on man.

savvywolf, do gaming w Valve responds as indie horror studio accuses Steam of 'censorship' for banning its game about nude human 'Horses' (Update)
@savvywolf@pawb.social avatar

“It’s just horror, bro” with the same kind of energy as “it’s just a prank, bro”.

I’ve not played the game, but “person riding another person in horse gear” is absolutely a fetish thing, intentional or otherwise.

I think it absolutely would fall afoul of kiddie porn laws. Honestly, I think any depiction of a child in proximity to nudity probably would count.

pyria, do games w Legendary game designer, programmer, Space Invaders champion, and LGBTQ trailblazer Rebecca Heineman has died

Had a sad feeling that when she was trying to get a gofundme going, that she was on her last legs.

RIP.
