ripcord, 2 miesiące temu do games w Krafton is now an 'AI-first company,' will spend $70 million on a GPU cluster to 'serve as the foundation for accelerating the implementation of agentic AI'

Welp. I was thinkingabout buying a game from them about an hour ago. Definitely won’t now.

JohnnyCanuck, 2 miesiące temu do gaming w The Outer Worlds 2 is a great RPG that exceeded my expectations

Glad to hear this. Years ago I worked with Obsidian engineers (who may or may not still be there, I have no idea) and I absolutely loved the systems they had built for their games. They were able to create games with a massive amount of content with a relatively small team of engineers, so I’ve always rooted for them.

I liked (didn’t love) and completed the first Outer Worlds but I thoroughly enjoyed Grounded - even though I never played through to the end game. I’ll definitely give this one a go.

I’ve loved a lot of their newer games - especially Pentiment!

It was such breath of fresh air and so well written!

Anything for the shareholder value. Are they even a game company now?

They are a company run by individuals who haven‘t booted a game in this millennia and are only in it for the money.

Geodad, 2 miesiące temu do gaming w Just in case you thought reviving dead games seemed easy enough, GOG had to hire a private investigator to find an IP holder living off the grid for its preservation program

I’m against the concept of intellectual property. Information should belong to the entirety of humanity.

Just don’t bother asking someone who obviously doesn’t care anymore.

So you post a selfie on Lemmy and the next thing you know, you’re the key subject in a new Facebook ad?

I think we need some level of IP laws, but current copyright periods are way too long.

Rufus Pollock’s math agrees. I am so bummed he recently took this down from his personal website where it had been available for 15 years

Now it just resolves as a 404 not found:

Ah that’s cool, 15 year copyright sounds good to me.

Values: money grab

Well, that’s quite the bold-faced lie.

My 11+ year old boycott of EA is looking smarter & smarter every day.

Kolanaki, 3 miesiące temu (edited 3 miesiące temu) do games w Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics'

I said when they put the trailer out that it didn’t look any better than the Revision mod and I got shit for it.

Zarxrax, 3 miesiące temu do games w Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect

A ship sounds a lot less exciting than a city.

Damn, good use of their time! Not going after trillionaries, no.

BurgerBaron, 3 miesiące temu (edited 3 miesiące temu) do gaming w Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is richly authentic, intriguingly written, dripping with brooding atmosphere, and… not very fun to play, unfortunately

I checked Robin’s site profile to make sure she wasn’t one of the people who thought Dragon Age Veilguard had good writing first thing. Nope that was Lauren, my bad.

Still doubt it but I’m hopeful now. I play all the higher rated low budget Choose Your Own Adventure text adventures/VN Masquerade games on Steam.

That said, I’ll find it pretty funny if the combat is truly as bad as it was in the first Bloodline game. I like Redemption best, and if I can get through that gameplay steamer I can get through this…probably not at launch price.

I believe the developer has practically no experience with action games, so the combat being subpar wouldn’t be unexpected. I definitely wouldn’t be playing a WoD game for its combat though. I’d want a good story, characters, and the right aesthetics.

Ugh. Cram your propaganda where the sun won’t shine. So glad to have not bought mirage yet. And now I surely won’t. Despite me liking the ubi games. Yeah I said it, now downvote me like hell for it 😁

I feel like we've long reached the point where the benefit of top-of-the-line hardware just isn't worth it. IMO, Switch 2 ought to be enough to target, and any game that can't fit on that can probably stand to be scaled back.

DID Blands 4 “dominate”? The only mention of it I saw was pitchford (and his magic flash drive) bragging that the servers wouldn’t get hugged over the weekend and… yeah.

cronenthal, 3 miesiące temu do games w Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it'

All I really wanted was SQ42 back when I supported it on Kickstarter. With my 20 bucks there’s no regret, but it’s quite funny where things have gone since then.

I install the latest alpha once every year and am both amazed and disappointed.

I don’t expect SQ42 to be released before 2030 and I do expect it to be a buggy, unoptimized mess when it finally arrives.

I’ve been thoroughly entertained all those years, though.
