calliope, do games w Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed

I really appreciate this, you just saved me at least $20.

Microsoft’s user experience is awful at every step in a browser. I wanted to like XBox but it’s clear why they’re losing.

DoucheBagMcSwag, do games w Grand Theft Auto VI and Grand Theft Auto Online Could Be Sold Separately; Rockstar Is Targeting Solid 30 FPS on Consoles, According to Former Animator

If they intend to charge for GTA VI online, I will never play it

WordBox,

It’ll be a healthy decision

MolecularCactus1324,

I already never intend to play it. I only care about single player. Hopefully this means the game is cheaper.

I’m going to have to buy a new irony meter.

It will most definitely be banned (they even shut down one of the few Ukrainian language libraries in russia before the full scale invasion) and likely it won’t be available in russian anyway.

rockerface,

Good. Hopefully russia also bans all the games portraying LGBT characters and ethnic minorities, so I can fucking play Overwatch without running into these assholes every other match

@Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world avatar

I am surprised it’s not already banned. They were going to ban Duolingo because of presence of animated LGBT characters. Duolingo caved and made a custom “LGBT free” version for the russian market.

rockerface,

oof. If Blizzard does that, they’d have to cut like at least 1/3 of the characters lmao

Pyflixia, do games w Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done'

We already knew this. It's just a grifting thing now.

Maggoty,

I don’t know if you can say that. They are releasing new content. It’s just very expensive to play.

Fades,

Look at the list of stretch goals, 65 million dollars worth. What have they delivered from that?

robertsspaceindustries.com/funding-goals

It’s a grift, they ain’t delivering all that lmao

Maggoty,

A whole bunch of that stuff was already delivered actually. The systems are probably the big thing that hasn’t been delivered yet.

MangoPenguin, do gaming w Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done'

It’s been that way basically since it first was available, they make so much money on whales buying the expensive ships that they really don’t seem to care about finishing the game.

They keep adding more and more paid content you can buy, while the game is barely playable with incredibly poor performance, and constant bugs like not being able to finish missions, cargo randomly disappearing, cargo glitching into ships and causing them to explode, etc… And the game is generally just extremely unstable with lots of crashes.

MonkderVierte,

and constant bugs like not being able to finish missions

And since it’s online, you can’t just install a community fix.

grrgyle,

That’s where Derek Smart went wrong, I guess. He actually released his game, not realising that you can just sell the hype vapour on its own. Rookie move.

Katana314, do games w Ghost of Yotei Will Feature a Less Repetitive Open World

I’m always surprised Ubisoft gets so much flak when other developers are doing much the same thing.

That said, my main annoyance with Tsushima is: You’re not a hero. 99% of side quests end with the people you were helping ending up dead, and possibly some other nameless NPCs rescued. It just feels tragic.

It’s a perpetual issue where it’s easier to code in 20 more enemies than 2 or 3 more innocent, living people to have conversations with.

B312,

Mostly because Ubisoft was the company to start this shitty trend, with everyone else being a trend chaser

PunchingWood,

That doesn’t really explain why Ubisoft got shat on for it, while Ghost of Tsushima often got praised into oblivion. I constantly found myself thinking that it could’ve just as well been a Ubisoft game, just with less content.

B312,

I think it’s mostly cause of the really good gameplay, rather than the open world.

graymess, do games w Rumored Nintendo Switch Flash Cart Video Shows Multiple Games on a Single Cart

Based on what I know of the Switch homebrew scene, I cannot fathom how this would work. Any ideas?

yamanii,
@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

This is precisely why everyone is so skeptical of it.

SomethingBurger,

In the video that was posted, the user testing the card is manually inserting and removing the card in order to cycle through the different games on the cart.

It appears it cannot run unsigned code, as it doesn’t have a menu. This is probably similar to the Sky3DS. It behaves like a real cartridge, so it would only run pirated cartridges. No DLC or homebrew.

caseyweederman,

Don’t cartridges have unique IDs though? They could just start disabling cartridges by ID and banning any accounts that run them.

So like how they tried and failed to stop Tengen back in the day with their unlicensed NES carts?

darkeox, do games w Starfield Is Seemingly Missing Entire Stars (the local 'sun') When Running On AMD Radeon GPUs

Can confirm it's the same on Proton / Linux. This game keeps being a joke on the technical side.

Anticorp, do games w Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Isn't Getting Any DLC, Says Nintendo

Good, it doesn’t need it. It was released as a complete game and I’m happy to see it stay that way.

I would like a Master Mode. I miss those golden Lynels.

Gerudo, do games w Shortly After Xbox Game Pass Prices Spiked, the Page to Cancel Game Pass Subscriptions Was Overwhelmed

Turned off my recurring billing. I’ll have about 3 months then it’s bye bye. I have been a customer since 360, but now will probably sign up for Playstation Network for the first time.

Prox,

Ehh… PSN isn’t really any better. Their Game Pass competitor is a hot mess. Better to just buy games outright, especially during sales.

whereyaaat,

Better to use your brain and torrent instead of being a useful idiot paying for corporate campuses.

Gerudo,

I know it’s not better, but it has a bunch of the catalog from Game Pass as well as a bunch of PS titles I’ve missed while being on Xbox.

Prox,

That’s a good callout - treating these game rental services more like we do with streaming video services by subbing to one for just a few months, then dropping it for another.

Gerudo,

Yeah I was shocked at the overlap of titles between the 2. If I had noticed that the last price hike, I might have switched sooner.

whereyaaat,

but now will probably sign up for Playstation Network for the first time.

Fucking hell… some people legitimately never learn.

They are destined to be suckers for life.

Gerudo,

Oh I’m sorry, did Playstation start charging 30 bucks for their service? Oh, it’s actually CHEAPER than Xbox even was? Oh and it’s a massive back catalog of PS games I haven’t played due to being on Xbox? Fuck me right?

dubyakay,

If you have a backlog of games that you have bought, why do you need an online subscription for them? Or am I misunderstanding something?

Gerudo,

I don’t have a backlog of PS games due to mainly playing Xbox for the last 20 something years. That’s why subscription services can make sense, you play through games you’ve missed out on. Kind of like sub hopping for tv streaming, you build up a back log, sub for a few months then move to the next.

30 fps

Lol, what kind of bullshit is this? 30 fucking fps. Unplayable garbage.

TriflingToad,

you need 2 spaces and 2 enters after the first line to make it separate from the quote:

2djwu2hw8duj

(yeah I know, formatting is really dumb)

Ibuthyr,

Thanks, fixed it!

stephen01king,

If there’s is a reason for making it that way, it’s not really dumb.

dinckelman, do games w STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl Potentially Banned in Russia Due To Potential 'Justifying Terrorism'

The absence of self-awareness there is astounding

rockerface,

Oh they’re aware. It’s always projection

WhyFlip, do games w Star Citizen Expose Paints a Fairly Bleak Picture: 'There's No Actual Focus on Getting the Game Done'

Star Citizen sounds right up my alley in terms of game content and play, but I will never touch it due to the business model they’ve chosen.

Psythik,

All I want is a space pirate game that doesn’t require me to quit my job and dedicate my life to it in order to acquire a good enough ship to actually be competitive.

That, or a street racing MMO with realistic physics and a true-to-life level of customization and tuning, that has a map the size of small country. Like The Crew except no arcade physics and more than 5 players in a server. And also not shit.

Somebody, please make one of these two games already. I need this so badly in my lifetime before I die.

Randomgal,

You want that online? If you’re okay with single player, the first one does exist: Check out the X series of games, the latest one is X:4 Foundations.

Idk about racing lmao

Psythik,

Gotta be online. Single player AI just isn’t good enough yet to entertain my dopamine-deprived brain. (I have ADHD).

bbuez,

My dream is to make or at least be a part of the former

It is very hard

barryamelton,

For racing, you have Fly Dangerous. It is also a successful FOSS game!
