chunes, do games w Microsoft is raising prices on Xbox consoles, controllers, and games worldwide

Old games are better anyway. Covid knocks off two IQ points every time you catch it, and it shows in the quality of software these days.

Welp that was an instant impulse buy…and the fact that it doesn’t have bluetooth or wifi means I can actually wear it at work!

theangriestbird,

thank you for sharing!

DoucheBagMcSwag,

Thank R***itors (as much as I hate to say that)

Telorand, do gaming w Sony is experimenting with AI-powered PlayStation characters

Easy way to tell if you’re talking to an AI: “Are you sentient?”

A human might say “no,” but most of these companies are using models that are preprogrammed to say “no” by default and resist any attempts to get it to agree that it is.

If this is the future of online gaming from AAA studios, then I’ll stick to indie games, thanks.

I almost always plug mine into my dock and run it with a controller lol, rarely use it as an actual handheld

Thalestr, do gaming w Crysis 4 is on hold as developer Crytek announces layoffs
!deleted6828 avatar

The Crysis games have been dead to me since Crysis 2. Crysis 1 is still a blast to play even today.

PopeRigby,

I thought Crysis 2 was fun. What didn’t you like about it?

radau,

Not the person you replied to but I liked the openness in the original a lot more, 2 and 3 were fun but I got nowhere near the replayability. The destruction felt a lot better in the original too from what I remember, crash a truck into a building and cave in part of it which was amazing for my 8500gt at the time… at 8 frames per second haha

PopeRigby,

I agree losing the openess was a shame, but I really enjoyed the story and updated gameplay in 2. I haven’t played 3, but it’s my understanding that it’s more open than 2 again?

Mikelius, (edited ) do gaming w The 2TB WD_Black C50 expansion card for Xbox Series X/S hits record low $190

Weird, I have a regular old 2TB (or maybe it was 1?) western digital plugged into the USB on the back of my series x and it works fine, not sure I understand the need to spend a bunch on something like this. Edit: and before responding about speed… I haven’t noticed much, if any, difference in game performance from installing on the drive or external outside of the initial game loading (startup) time, so not sure if that’s the only benefit to using the expansion slot.

USB drives are good for storage only, you can’t actually play the games from there. You have to move them to the SSD to play them.

Mikelius,

Hmm I’ll have to check this later as I don’t remember ever running into that problem since my Xbox internal has been full for a while. But I also wonder if that applies to physical copies or not since all my series x games are physical. Unless Xbox does this automatically in the background without user intervention, then I may have not noticed

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, series X and S games can’t be played from external storage. You have to move them to the SSD.

Where you might be being tricked is that it WILL work for OLDER games, so if you’re using it for backwards compatible versions, it will work fine.

Nuke_the_whales, do games w Here are the patents Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are suing Palworld over

Why is everyone here pretending like palworld isn’t a straight up Pokemon clone that went a bit too close with the designs? I mean the game was basically marketed as pokemon with guns. I know you guys have this new hate for Nintendo, but this isn’t even them.

If I made a game about an Italian contractor with a red hat and mustache that fights mushroom people and turtles, you guys would defend it and claim it isn’t a copyright issue lol

Randomguy,

Because it doesn’t matter. Palworld isn’t getting sued for copyright infringement, it is being sued for patent infringement.

Again, Nintendo isn’t suing for copyright infringement, but for patent infringement. It’s more like Nintendo suing Monster Hunter Stories for allowing you to ride your monsters (this is literally one of the patents Pal World is getting sued for).

@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

I will never understand when people engage in volunteer (i.e. unpaid) PR work for some random company.

Criticizing a company for lazy patent trolling (a patent for riding a mount?) is not engaging in “hate crimes against video games”.

Nintendo is welcome to release good products on multiple platforms (Palworld runs on PC) to compete with Palworld. Crazy idea, I know!

One would think I should patent the concept of releasing good games to compete with other companies, but out of the goodness of my heart I will release this unique idea into the public domain.

Nuke_the_whales,

So pointing out my opinion is PR work now? Stupid fascist

epicsninja,

“Everyone I don’t like is a fascist!”

Nuke_the_whales,

Just Americans. You guys are fascist idiots

Agent_Karyo,
@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

If your opinion is identical to the corporate sourced PR copytext (not to mention the condescending style - “everyone knows”), then yes it is de facto PR work.

Pyr_Pressure,
@Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca avatar

Even if it were an exact clone I don’t think a single company should have a monopoly on the idea for almost 30 years. Pokemon red was released in 1996, 28 years ago. Why should they still be able to be the only company that releases pokemon-type games?

Cap, do games w Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling

Great video showing the difference of the two

MudMan,

I do feel for Sony's PR teams. Trying to explain the concept of visual improvements in 4K over Youtube's increasingly vaseline-smeared compression is an impossible task.

Powerbomb, do games w Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling

I don’t know if It turns out that I was stupid for not buying the original PS5 or holding out for a Pro one even from back then.

I was looking forward to this a lot because I could get the better version from day 1 and have a lot of games to play from taking and borrowing my brother’s disc games.

I guess I’ll get the XBSX for GTA VI when it comes.

@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

Not like holding out matters now, they just raised the price in Japan for the 3rd time, second wind said the controller got 5 dollars more expensive, you can only save with used nowadays.

@catalyst@lemmy.world avatar

At this price I’m so glad I decided to go for a slim instead of holding out for the pro. Absolutely no way.

I can’t see how this is worth it for anyone. Are there even games that are pushing the current PS5?

No disc drive either.

Z3k3,

No disc drive either.

I’m out

redy_velvet,

There are games that perform poorly, but to my understanding that’s not the hardware’s fault

cm0002, do gaming w Microsoft is hiking the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and launching a new “Standard” tier
@cm0002@lemmy.world avatar

Meh, still a good value IMO, at $240/yr I just need to play 3 60$ games/yr and I currently average about 4 maybe 5 a year. Not to mention the money I save when I don’t like a game, I would have bought starfield if not for GP and that would have been 60 bucks wasted right there since I dropped it after a month lol

IsThisAnAI,

The man spoke the truth but they would not listen.

Between game fly and this I played probably $2000 worth of games for like $300.

Swarfega, do gaming w Twitch banned Dr Disrespect after viewing messages sent to a minor, say former employees

I used to watch him pre-adultery controversy. He is entertaining but man this guy is clearly a shit person outside of his persona.
