val, do games w Capcom is worried that mods “offensive to public order and morals” will ‘tarnish’ the rep of their PC games

I don’t think I’ve seen any public backlash hitting the developer or publisher for the content of a mod being “offensive to public order and morals” since the hot coffee stuff, and that was only because it was content already in the game. This is almost certainly a lie and the real reason is they’re worried mods will compete with things they’re selling.

  • val,

    It was literally the reference point I used in my post for the last time I’ve seen any real backlash, in the first sentence.

    Kaldo, do gaming w Stop blaming teeth for Cities: Skylines 2 performance problems, say devs
    @Kaldo@kbin.social avatar

    It was a ridiculous claim to begin with, there's no way they wouldn't see something like that when analyzing with internal tools or doing any performance runs.

    DarkThoughts, do gaming w Space sim Squadron 42 is "feature-complete" and gunning for Starfield's lunch with massive new video

    Right after headlines of SC losing the faith of the community. lol
    Also, Starfield has already launched. Not that I would even compare the two titles but Squadron 42 has still to prove its actual existence.

    spark947,

    Thats part of it because everyone interested already doesn’t like them and is getting this game for free. If it doesn’t have legs outside of everyone who has effectively ore-ordered, its going to be a real issue for CIG

    TehPers,

    I essentially got Starfield for free (bought a laptop and it came with a code). For $0 it was worth every dollar spent, but I do feel bad for the people who pre-ordered.

    I can’t imagine why someone would pre-order a game like this one though, these devs don’t exactly have a great track history. At least for the people who pre-ordered Starfield, we know Bethesda will at minimum deliver a game lol.

    spark947,

    I mean yeah. Idk why people pre-ordered it, but they did, that’s their whole funding. Now they owe a copy to all their “backers”, and it’s hard to see how releasing this game will bring in revenue. They are in a very big hole.

    t3rmit3,

    bought a laptop and it came with a code

    Wouldn’t have happened to be the new Framework, was it? :D

    TehPers,

    Wouldn’t be any other laptop :P

    otter, do games w Why CCP haven't stopped trying to make an EVE Online shooter for 15 years

    CCP hf., doing business as CCP Games, is an Icelandic video game developer based in Reykjavík. Novator Partners and General Catalyst had previously collectively owned a majority stake in the company, and in September 2018, CCP was acquired by South Korean video game publisher Pearl Abyss for $425 million.[1] CCP Games is best known for developing Eve Online, which was released in 2003 and has since been maintained.

    neosheo, do gaming w KOTOR Remake feared cancelled after Sony quietly pulls tweets and videos

    Honestly i just play the originals. I don’t need a remake

    zeekaran,

    If you’ve played it before that’s doable. Someone who has never played it will have a bad time. It’s seriously outdated.

    neosheo,

    The combat is clunky but let’s be real, does anyone play it for the combat?

    BigBananaDealer,
    @BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee avatar

    it is a star wars game, id expect lightsaber combat to be at least passable lol. i love kotor 1 but my god the combat is horrible

    sparkl_motion,

    They’re D20 games. They behave exactly as one would expect with turn based combat.

    mcforest,

    It's not that long ago that I played both KOTOR games for the first time and I have to agree that the game might not be that intuitive by today standards. But now after a lot of people played BG3 it might be not that hard anymore to figure this game out.

    EsteeBestee,

    As someone who loves RPGs and Star Wars, it took me about 10 attempts to actually get more than an hour into the game before turning it off. It’s just that dated. I did eventually power through the first few hours and then the non-aged moments (story and writing) became good enough for me to stick around. I can definitely see how most people wouldn’t want to play it for the first time at this point though.

    OfficialThunderbolt,

    I do. The originals were locked behind an anti-consumer EULA once Disney got ahold of them. Since I won’t agree to their EULA, I was holding out hope for the remake.

    SirSauceLordtheThird,
    @SirSauceLordtheThird@beehaw.org avatar

    I’m not sure if id trust the remake to have a more reasonable EULA tbh, and frankly with the originals if you want to play and don’t like the EULA i’d say pirate it, KOTOR is 20 years old now at this point.

    Lojcs,

    What was special about the eula?

    OfficialThunderbolt,

    It contains an arbitration clause. Arbitration clauses are evil. No one should ever agree to them.

    Potatos_are_not_friends, do games w Cyberpunk 2077's Ukrainian localisation takes the piss out of Russia's war

    Rockpapershotgun commenters continue to impress me.

    So many site comments are full of racist spiel and bot spam.

    Where RPS does a good job with moderating.

    Tetsuo, do games w Cyberpunk 2077's Ukrainian localisation takes the piss out of Russia's war

    Well I can’t read that article without accepting cookies.

    Too bad ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    SolOrion,

    It’s a couple dialogue lines-

    one of Cyberpunk 2077’s Ukrainian dialogue line alters “We’re fucking through” to a Ukrainian phrase that roughly means “Go fuck yourself in the same direction as the ship did”.

    One line of police dialogue referring to the game’s Scavengers faction has been altered from the English “Couldn’t all these assholes bite it out in the Badlands?” to a Ukrainian phrase that translates as “Couldn’t all this rusnia bite it out in the Badlands?”

    Some of the phrasing in the inventory-

    There are also apparent references on inventory screens to Ukrainian state messaging during the war. “‘Є перевага’ literally means ‘there is an advantage’,” Tarasov told me. "A reference to the governmental digital initiatives’ branding during Zelensky’s tenure

    And some graffiti-

    There also appears to be brand new graffiti in the game that references Russia’s occupation of Crimea in 2014. “The graffiti represents the outlines of Crimea, the peninsula that was illegally annexed from Ukraine by russia in 2014,” Tarasov told me. “Juxtaposed are the Ukrainian coat of arms and taraq tamga (the symbol of Crimean Tatars).” The suggestion is that in Cyberpunk 2077’s world, Crimea is part of Ukraine.

    @Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

    I mean most games can’t even bother to give colorblind people a slider or a palette of colors to change the red outlines and tints they put on things. That’s a way easier problem to solve than variable sized text in a UI.

    hydroel, (edited ) do games w The next Sims game will be free-to-play with paid DLC

    The Sims 4 base game is already free. So if I’m understanding this correctly, EA, of all game publishers, is announcing that, against all odds, a free-to-play game with in-game MTX is an efficient business model that they want to promote? This might not be related at all that the Sims has always been a license that caters to the general, not particularly gamer audience.

    Toribor,
    @Toribor@corndog.social avatar

    With Sims 4 already being F2P this announcement just means they are once again going to resell the same content back to you at a premium. Piecing up their game even more.

    mohab, do games w Unbelievably, we have a choice of kaiju clean-up games

    Yeah, I thought this was dope.

    We don’t have enough good Kaiju games, IMO. Inaba robbed us of Project G.G. or Kamiya messed up, IDK. But they need to work it out and finish that project at some point.

    Maybe Clovers can buy the IP if Okami 2 is a hit, who knows. I doubt Platinum would mind.
