Sanctus, 13 dni temu do games w There's still no sign of Star Citizen 1.0, but it did just get a revamped referral program so the die-hards can tempt in even more saps

Honestly it has some cool shit going on. Its a real shame they’ve attached themselves to this business model of exclusivity. It seems it also effects the development of the game heavily.

Pretty sure its the unchained peter molyneux that was the birth and death of star citizen’s development :p

Sanctus, 13 dni temu

Everyone can pull a little molyneux, as a treat.

Coelacanth, 13 dni temu

At least Molyneux has put out some good games. Yeah, they don’t have all the earth shattering features he’s promised, but there’s some good titles in his portfolio. I’m not convinced Star Citizen is a good game.

Those games had a publisher telling him no to features and needing to finish existing stuff and not have scope creep to begin with. I said unchained peter for a reason :p

Coelacanth, 13 dni temu

That’s fair. As far as I know the same was true for Chris Roberts. Well, it wasn’t so much that he had a publisher that would edit him as it was that he was fired and Microsoft came in and cobbled together what was there into an actual game (Freelancer).

He must be thinking we get the same healthcare they do. That’s how far removed they are.

This is a great initiative, and Ross did an incredible effort, and i hope this second wind gets the petitions the signatures they need.

Infinite respect for Ross, he can truly say he did everything he could do.

41% is way less than I was expecting.

i don’t even know how you could meaningfully mod Starfield. the game is rotten to the core, you would be better off making your own space rpg

DarkFuture, 2 miesiące temu do games w On the prospect of an $80-$90 GTA 6, former PlayStation boss says 'it's an impossible equation' for big-budget studios to keep their prices down

And it’s an impossible equation for most Americans to pay more. Especially if things continue to downward spiral.

Where’s my eye patch?

The Borderlands games made billions of dollars, and no one needs to keep them running.

I don’t feel bad. It’s a big number, but it was spread out over 20 years. I’m sure I’d be shocked at a lot of numbers amalgamated over 20 years.

dbtng, 2 miesiące temu 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

I got Steam so I could play Half Life 2 when it was released. May 4, 2006. 153 games. $1,725 spent.

This thing about not owning the games … um … Steam is a more reliable, stable, all around better repository for my games than any device I’ve ever owned. Other than the Ubisoft games that are designed to not be re-usable (never buy Ubi again) I have access to every game I’ve bothered to spend money on for the last two decades.

Very unbiased source there.

I’m primarily a PC gamer but I buy ALL THE VIDEO GAME THINGS, so I have every console that comes out, even if I’m only going to play one game on it (looking at you, Returnal). Who is he trying to convince? Cause he’s full of shit.

PeteWheeler, 3 miesiące temu do games w PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now

New games just don’t have a ‘punch’ to it anymore. They are not not game breaking anymore.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with old games either. They are the same as they were, which is why reboots and remakes are so popular.

Luminocta, 3 miesiące temu

I want to agree but some games are really well done. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is a good example.

However

I feel like many people are so focused on graphics and looks, like raytracing for example, that gameplay/story has become less important? Sucks but it is what it is I guess…

ScoreDivision, 3 miesiące temu

A good story isn’t something groundbreaking that marketing teams can slap on the box in the same way they can with ray tracing dlss or whatever else I guess

IronKrill, 3 miesiące temu do games w PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now

I have a large backlog of five(?)+ plus year old games that are really good and I have yet to play. I’d much rather burn through those enjoying them on high settings instead of playing current games on low settings while trying to dodge crap monetization.
