toxicbubble420, do gaming w Why play a fascist? Unpacking the hideousness of the Space Marine

relatively new to the 40k lore. mechanicus was my introduction, the voice acting and dialogue perfectly captured the mechanicus clan and personalities. you can feel a resemblance of humanity in their mechanoid bodies. not too familiar with space marines outside of Dawn of War and the tcg games where they are constantly shouting cliche military slogans

baggins, do gaming w Valve won't sacrifice battery life to deliver a more powerful Steam Deck 2

The battery life is already not great when running anything intensive. Can’t imagine being able to make anymore sacrifices there without making the thing useless.

Breadhax0r, do games w Nightingale's Realms Rebuilt update arrives tomorrow and aims to revive the game with a handcrafted campaign

I was so looking forward to this game because the aestetic was so cool…and then I played, and it was a buggy always online mess with a convoluted crafting system. So disappointing.

18_24_61_b_17_17_4, do games w This fictional CD-ROM about a Knightmare-style game show is secretly this year’s best horror game

That sounds awesome. Can’t wait to check it out.

guacupado, do games w Deadrop developer Midnight Society cuts ties with Dr Disrespect following new Twitch ban allegations

That’s about what you expect a cop to act like.

LostWanderer, do games w Sims 4 devs assemble team to focus on fixing bugs and upping performance

For a game that’s been out for nearly ten years, I’m not expecting over much in the way of actual work from this team. It would be nice as I do miss playing the Sims 4. I suppose this is only happening to reach a larger audience since the move of making The Sims 4 free to play and the packs their cash cow. Which most users have been happily buying despite these packs being glitchy and broken on launch, and for most of their existence.

Donut, do games w Manor Lords gets its first big patch, with new taxes, animations and changes to trading

Only on the beta branch at the moment, so if you’re on a different storefront you can’t get an early peek.

Perfect excuse to start over for me. Even though old saves should be compatible, but with early access YMMV

BudgieMania, do games w Manor Lords gets its first big patch, with new taxes, animations and changes to trading

nice, I'm waiting a bit to see if there's a steady stream of ongoing support before buying, but it's looking good so far

thesohoriots, do gaming w Remembering Prey, Arkane Austin’s masterpiece

I miss the OG Prey. That gravity was fun.

Modva, do games w V Rising 1.0 review: one of the slickest survival games gets even slicker

Playing this now, it’s really good. I last played just after EA launch, a lot has been added and refined.

KingThrillgore, do games w Escape From Tarkov studio boss says he "did not foresee" players would get mad about charging extra for PvE

uh huh.

ieightpi, do games w Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers is a gorgeous free SNES-style arcade racer, built using Doom Legacy

I like the fact that Eggman is not the villain in this. I’d like to see more of this in future Sonic games. We’ve seen plenty of times where other videogame mascots have teamed up with their arch rivals to stop a greater threat.

Daxtron2, do games w No Rest For The Wicked's first hotfix addresses durability and repair cost complaints

Remember when games would have free demo/betas to iron out shit before releasing?

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I believe you can get a refund all the way until two weeks after 1.0, so we kind of still do. But also, I can’t think of any game beta that took iterative feedback to core systems the way today’s early access games do. Perhaps because more games are very systems-driven today by comparison.

Daxtron2,

Beta isn’t for feedback on core systems, it’s for performance and stability fixes. Alpha is for core systems.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Both of those terms mean whatever the developer wants them to mean.

Daxtron2,

Sure but words have meaning

Not sure what you are referring to. The refund policy on Steam is the same for any games, early access or not. The game’s version number or finished state makes no difference.

Maybe you are thinking of the pre-purchase situation, where you can refund up to 14 days after the game’s release, instead of the date of purchase.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, that’s it. You’re right. In which case, never buy an early access game unless its current state is worth the money right now.

Doof,

No? I’ve been gaming for thirty years and no I don’t remember demos being used for that.

Daxtron2,

I guess you didn’t play them then ¯⁠\⁠⁠༼⁠ ⁠•́⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠•̀⁠ ⁠༽⁠⁠/⁠¯

Doof,

Demos were not used that way

Daxtron2,

Overwatch, Halo 3, CoD: world at war, every World of Warcraft release including vanilla, Rift, all of these had betas before release that identified significant technical issues that were fixed before their full releases. Those are just the few I can think of off the top of my head.

Doof,

DEMO

Daxtron2,

My original comment said demos/betas, maybe read next time?

Doof,

Kettle meet black. Look what I said the first time you dork. I picked up on the Demos part of your comment and that’s not how they work. So that’s your comprehension not mine.

monkeyseemonkeydong,

The game is in early access, so that shit can be ironed out before release.

Daxtron2,

My bad I totally missed the EA flag lmao

Aatube, do games w Social MMO Sky: Children Of The Light is heading to Steam early access in April

Not sure how exactly it's a live service game

Social multiplayer is like the core of the game, plus seasons

one and done

There's also a prestige system

FlashMobOfOne, do gaming w Critically acclaimed Dragon's Dogma 2 hits "mostly negative" on Steam after players raze it for microtransactions
@FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve got 15 hours in it and have played all weekend.

There are some performance issues, but overall, I’ve had a blast playing it.

All of the game content is accessible for the sticker price you paid, so yeah, I couldn’t care less about the microtransaction aspect of things.
