Surp, do games w 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed'

Unfortunately it doesn’t matter what any of us say…the damage is done. I saw something like 200k online on steam. Unless most of them refund the negative reviews are meaningless. Pretend it was only 200k on steam and they bought just the “shitty” $70 version. …who knows how many bought on other platforms as well. They made a lot of money already is all I’m saying and I wish they didn’t. Games junk.

Make it perform well, then we can talk premium.

It’s basically the “AAAA-game” bit again

Evotech,

AAAA gamers

It’s more akin to trying to drive a semi truck with a semi truck motor but then something drops and there’s a ton of friction like an unintentional tractor pull. Even the best chips on the market display subpar performance.

Meh I’ve been feeling that since 2018, release of RTX cards and raytracing marketing hype. Since then my perception towards AAA games have become harder to reach; require newer hardware, bigger disk space, better internet to download and more expensive price.

Though that already happen for a decade maybe. Battlefield 3 and 4 all DLC require 40-60 GB download. That would eat about 10 hours download.

This is how a game dies.

Someday, the industry is going to realize that while transistors might still be getting smaller, they aren’t getting cheaper for it. Which was the original formulation of Moore’s Law; cost of integrated component gets cut in half every x months.

Not just games, but the whole tech industry. Even in so far as faster hardware exists–and it just plain might not in this case–people can’t afford it.

muhyb, 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'

We’ll see Shenmue 9 before Star Citizen’s release.

HappyHappyJoyJoy, do gaming w Dawn of War 4 developer King Art knows what you all really want: 'Overwhelmingly, it's singleplayer content and the campaign'

I really want a classic RTS with base building like DoW1 not the hero based ‘action rpgs’ that followed.

Trihilis, do gaming w We can't keep making videogame stories for players who aren't paying attention to them

I agree with the article. Why cater games towards a crowd that doesnt want the game. Just stop it. Fuck EA and fuck companies like Activision/blizzard for dumbing down RPGs so Normie’s might like them. You’re ruining the experience for people who want to an RPG and making it “tolerable” for people who dont. The end result will always be a mixed bag, a mixed bag of shit.

Just let them play call of duty or FIFA and let the people who enjoy RPGs play RPGs with good story and RPG elements. You’re not doing anyone a favor by making an unenjoyable mediocre bag of shit.

threshold_dweller, (edited ) do games w Battlefield 6 players are crying out for a 'real' server browser, and it's about time we demanded the basic FPS feature that Call of Duty killed

Wolf ET never stopped having a server browser… ;)

all4one,

Still miss this game

You don’t have to. You can still play it!

all4one,

I still have it downloaded but its 100% bots every time I try to play.

ShaggySnacks, do games w Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader dev Owlcat comes out swinging in support of Stop Killing Games: 'Every player deserves lasting access to what they’ve paid for'

Yeah, if someone is going to lose access to a game that I bought. It’s going to be me.

accidentally drops rare copy of indie game into a sewer grate

aw, fuck. I can’t believe I’ve done this.

Cyberflunk, do games w Abiotic Factor review - Abiotic Factor is an instant survival classic, and one of the best games I've played in years.

I’ve never played multi player, it’s fun solo

RetroGoblet79,

That’s great to hear! I’ve been itching for a survival crafting game and every one of them seems geared towards co-op.

_cryptagion, do games w The GameStop stapler that punctured a Switch 2 screen on launch day is being auctioned off for charity

The auction also includes the stapled Switch 2 console and box, the staple that did the damage, and a pair of the GameStop CEO’s underwear, which I will explain within.

you know what, I’m actually not that curious.
