The server stay online for downloading game. I don’t really get it. If you close only the store, but keep the server for downloading online, do they safe like that so much money?

hedgehog,

If they have dedicated servers per region that handle payment processing, and they would need to be upgraded in order to be compatible with currently supported OSes, yes. Or if just maintenance costs for keeping them online are high enough.

Or if they have to pay an annual fee to continue selling (but not distributing) the games.

Or if the annual base costs for the payment provider exceed their revenue.

@cheeseburger@lemmy.ca avatar

Is this some hardware they’re activating or software that’s going to hurt already struggling performance?

Dalinar,

Software probably, it already hurts performance on PC versions.

ipkpjersi,

It will hurt performance, yeah. DRM is evil.

Cannibal_MoshpitV3, do games w Larian working on mid-game Baldur’s Gate 3 character customisation

For role play purposes we could add scars and stuff after particularly nasty fights, or maybe face paint/tattoos if your backstory imaginations involve tribalism and body art trophies.

Maybe if Larian feels like it they can have different npcs react if your character changed since they last spoke to you, like suddenly vibrant blue hair is now red

What I’d do for a Wipeout Omega Collection PC port…

This is super cool, though

ABCDE,

How do you actually play it without smashing into the walls?

@artillect@kbin.social avatar

You've gotta start turning kinda early to avoid running into walls, and the c and v keys (brake right and brake left) will help you on really tight corners

DarkThoughts,

Never got used to the handling of the ships in Wipeout as a kid. Enjoyed F-Zero X a lot more. Didn't really care for the combat aspects either.

I wish there was a good anti gravity racer for the PC with extensive ship customization and lots of unlockables though (as in playing to unlock, not paying). There's pretty much just small indie titles and most of them aren't even particularly good.

The only two decent ones with that Wipeout feel that I know are GRiP and Redout.

DarkThoughts,

https://store.steampowered.com/app/473770/BallisticNG/
Can't get any closer to Wipeout than that.

Redout feels more like F-Zero imo. GRiP isn't anti gravity racer. Maybe more comparable to Extreme G. Reminds me of my old RC car though.

DarkThoughts,

It's not Wipeout, but BallisticNG might still be interesting for you.

wryan,

Man, I used to love futuristic racers when I was a kid. I put in some serious hours into the Xtreme G and the N64 version of Star Wars Podracer. Freaking Jetmoto... man, those were the days!

simple,

I’ve been aware of it for a while but never got around to playing it, thanks for the reminder!

AndrasKrigare, do gaming w Hideki Kamiya thinks Japan should be proud of ‘JRPG’ and wants to use ‘J-Action’

I think it’s generally agreed that pretty much all our genre naming conventions are bad and alternatives exist. youtu.be/uepAJ-rqJKA has a pretty good description of an alternative, where you describe games by their core reason for play as opposed to mechanics or camera perspective

NuPNuA,

Lots of hobbies or industries have terms that are a bit off but accepted by everyone in the know as institutional knowledge. It’s no surprise gaming is the same and it’s unlikely to change 50 odd years in.

MutatedBass,

Interesting watch, thanks for sharing.

thejml, do gaming w Sources: Nintendo targets 2024 with next-gen console | VGC

I don’t care as long as it’s a decent resolution LCD.

Honestly comparing switch game storage with PS5 storage seems off. They’re completely different beasts with games that aren’t nearly as big or as detailed. If I can upgrade it like the current switch with a microSD or with a nVME like the PS5, it’d all the better.

Sixtyforce, do games w Fan-made Mario Kart 64 PC port released, with track editor and ultrawide support
@Sixtyforce@sh.itjust.works avatar

I played this for 6 hours straight. Lovely port so far but there are some minor bugs. Namely in the point scoring results screen with flickering text sometimes probably z fighting. I also had the mini map get bugged position and overlap the lap times upper right a couple times.

Other thing I noticed was timing differences at higher frame rates like the steam train crossing the desert road.

OpenGL is very slow considering what it has to render. Used Vulkan but I tested OpenGL briefly and it chugged at 2160p with 120hz and frame interpolation on. AA was off.

fwygon, do gaming w It’s official: There are no Nintendo Switch 2 reviews. Here’s what that means for us, and you [VGC]

Nintendo is clearly hiding something; they clearly are highly afraid of critical reviews and this is clearly a strategy that is not unlike what Nvidia, led by Jensen Huang, does.

What they are hiding will remain to be seen. I’m sure that the bad reviews will not go away…only be delayed by a week or so.

If you are wise; you will avoid buying the Switch 2 for at least a month. If you can’t wait a month to see what Nintendo is hiding; just be advised; you bought into it blind and have no right to complain about the bad reviews later, nor should you take it personally when people start talking poorly about the Switch 2.

Good god, just let it die already. Pass the reins on to someone who can actually make a decent CyberPunk game. I do not trust CDPR to make entertaining games anymore.

haui_lemmy,

What do you mean? The game was a huge success.

MITM0,
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

Remember Deus Ex: Mankind Divided ?

haui_lemmy,

Which one was the most recent? I always mix up the last two. But yes, generally. The last one is still a buggy mess, sadly. Cyberpunk is not btw.

MITM0,
@MITM0@lemmy.world avatar

Buggy mess ? Deus Ex: Mankind Divided ? Really ‽

haui_lemmy,

Yeah, sadly. It has big crashing issues. feel free to check.

gerryflap,

What? The launch was definitely botched, but after all the updates it’s now a great game. Personally one of my favorites. Honestly I’m not sure if there are many studios who would do a better job than CDPR in making such a large scale Cyberpunk game.

vivendi,

It has a LOT of content cut from the board game, and the world is still incredibly shallow outside scripted gameplay

If you consider this anything more than a FPS game with cyberpunk aesthetics, I weep for your perception of quality

Fucking Ubislop Watch Dogs 2 had a more interactive world, for crying out loud

Voroxpete,

I’m really not sure what you mean by this. Are you talking about the game at release, or after they patched in all the intended content?

Outside of what I assume you mean by the “scripted gameplay” of the main story there are dozens upon dozens of side quests and weird little points of interest to discover (well over a hundred, easily). A lot of them help to elaborate on the setting in interesting ways. What exactly were you expecting that the game didn’t deliver on?

vivendi,

Go play Deus Ex in the same genre, or some cyberpunk based CRPGs. Those games lots of mechanics that play into the game, DXMD’s Augment system wipes it’s ass with Cyberpunk’s Chrome for one.

Also it would help if they didn’t rush the story so much, it was a product of crunch and it shows. You can fix the bugs but you can’t fix fundamental problems with pacing

Voroxpete,

None of what you’ve just said connects back to your previous comment in the slightest. You started by saying that they cut too much from the TTRPG and that the world was too shallow, and then when I asked you to elaborate you just went on about augmentation systems.

At this point I’m not convinced you actually know what it is that you don’t like about it.

vivendi,

What? The cybernetic system is not a mechanic?

gerryflap,

Okay but I don’t know anything about the boardgame. I’m judging the game based on the game itself. It’s a cool game set in a cool Cyberpunk world.

gamermanh,

If you consider this anything more than a FPS game with cyberpunk aesthetics, I weep for your perception of quality

Way to show your opinion is less than worthless. If you’re too stupid to admit CP2077 is an RPG: that’s on you

Wahots,
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

It still has some rough edges, even after the major updates. I liked the Panam ending a lot, arguably one of my favorite game endings ever, but the police spawn and logic is still terrible compared to the likes of older GTA games, and the cars still feel gross to drive. Just Cause 2 had better vehicle handling, and that’s a title from 2010.

Hadriscus,

What are your gripes with it ? I’m not familiar with the universe it’s set in, but I loved the game

Before they get too far, can someone please make sure they have the rights to Joe Walsh’s “In The City” this time? It would be fantastic music for an intro, outro, or act break.

On the other hand, I’ll be curios how far Steam Input integration will go. Assuming these don’t self-destruct every few weeks like the original Joy-cons, these might make a neat portable controller.
