yokonzo, do games w Baldur's Gate 3 patch 3 releases today and lets you change your appearance and pronouns

I could have sworn it already had this functionality but I guess I’m wrong

odium,

I think that before you could only set it in the character creation screen at the start. Now you can change it anytime.

GreenMario,

Starfield does this with it’s plastic surgery shop so I imagine it’s a “hey that’s a good idea” thing for Larian.

They've been promising this since Patch 1, and changing your appearance is a really common feature in games with a create a character.

LoafyLemon,

Now we can role-play a bad guy turning into a good guy and vice versa.

GreenMario,

Most games do have limits on it after creation but I did remember just now that the Saints Row series did just this. I just have Starfield on my mind and forgot.

Ravaja,

Yeah, I don’t think anyone at Larian is taking notes from Bethesda of all companies

The implementation is through The Magic Mirror, which is the same thing Divinity: Original Sin 2, their previous game used. So probably less inspired by Starfield.

Not very interesting news in my opinion. Lots of companies/CEOs want to acquire other companies.

Squander, do games w The next Sims game will be free-to-play with paid DLC

Its free-to-play but you need to buy the housing/eating/sleeping/jobs/relationships DLC.

Kwakigra, do gaming w Publisher reveals and immediately cancels new Postal game after fans accuse it of using AI generation

Here specifically is where consumers have drawn the line with the Postal series, a game series about doing mass killings for fun.

Multiple genres of games are about doing mass killings for fun.

You know that bit when you get bored playing some open world game, go around killing everyone, then reload? Postal is That: The Game. Just without the reloading.

Or that was how i thought about postal 1&2.

Mass killings in videogames don’t hurt real people.

You nailed it.

FishFace, do games w Erosion is a voxel open world shooter in which deaths cost decades, and you can win the Wild West with armies of cats

I guess I’m skeptical. First: it seems pretty random ecks dee, so I don’t think there’ll be much emotional significance to finding your daughter when she’s old when you got there with the “Ebony Rooster that shoots bouncy eggs.” Second, it’s easy to say that every choice matters but the proof of that will be in the gameplay: will it be very limited evolution of the world or will it be a crazy simulation like Dwarf Fortress? Either has pitfalls, I suppose.

Games are just all “zany” word-salad at this point…

capt_wolf, do games w RV There Yet? is a dad-core co-op game about doing a very bad job driving home from your campervan vacation

My best friend and I have been playing this for the past 3 days and it’s wild. All I was expecting was a game about camping in an RV. We’re now underground and having to navigate explosive gas…

wetbeardhairs, do games w Travel back to the days of cable TV with Blippo+, a time-hopping FMV game about... I'm not entirely sure, actually

Does it have an actual game embedded in it somehow? Like you solve a puzzle or something that is hidden in clues within the shows?

Krauerking,

Nope. There is an overarching story happening if you want to pay attention but they just recorded a bunch of absurdist content and charge you to watch it in their own software.

Its like a streaming platform where you literally have to watch the previous episode to get the next.

wetbeardhairs,

Oh. If that’s really the case then it is much less exciting. That almost sounds like some kind of boring fine arts thesis.

Krauerking,

It was originally aired weekly on a schedule like real TV for that gameboy with a crank looking console, Playdate.

That console constantly feels like arts thesis projects.

wetbeardhairs,

That thing is special.

magic_lobster_party, do games w After 18 years, a surprise Half-Life 2 update makes it once again possible to beat a honking train on Highway 17

That explains a lot. I remember it not requiring that strict timing.

calabast, do games w Dreamsettler, the follow-up to early internet inspired browser game Hypnospace Outlaw, has been cancelled

Aww, I hadn’t heard of dreamsettler, but I really enjoyed the weirdness of Hypnospace Outlaw.

systemglitch, do games w You can now search for Steam games by adjustable difficulty, mouse-only options and other accessibility tags

Nice, the search function, while okay, has always been far too limited in my experience. Can’t wait to check this out.

Can we exploit the shit out of the game within the first 10 minutes? Because that’s one of the most important aspects of bethesda games

mr2meows, do games w Minecraft Gets Major Visual Overhaul With Volumetric Lighting And Enhanced Shadows
@mr2meows@pawb.social avatar

inb4 java edition becomes unplayable on older systems even with render distance set to lowest

FearMeAndDecay,

Apparently you’ll be able to toggle between the new lighting and the old lighting, so hopefully that isn’t a problem
