Rade0nfighter, do games w Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Saints and Sinners Trailer
@Rade0nfighter@lemmy.world avatar

The original had to be one of the most underrated (or just undermmarketed?) games of all time.

Absolutely fantastic RPG.

The first game was funded through Kickstarter and a random Czech millionaire who really liked history. I don’t exactly blame them for not having the marketing budget needed to really make to first game as successful as it could’ve.

Hopefully, the amazing success of the first game can propell the second into being the Skyrim level RPG success they deserve.

cmhe,

AFAIK, modding is the main reason for Skyrims long term success. Sure, it did its part in inspiring people initially, but what keeps at least me coming back is my interest in trying new mods.

But it also didn’t start there with Elder Scrolls series. Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and New Vegas use a very moddable predecessor of the Skyrim engine, and thus build the community up for Skyrim and later games.

Modability of KC:D was rather limited, so there isn’t a community around as big as the Skyrim one. That means with Skyrim, you get what you can mod into it, while with Kingdom Come, you mostly just get what you buy.

So I don’t expect it to be the next Skyrim, but never the less I am interested in it.

It is the way of all things good in this world, that eventually they end up in the hands of people who care only to extract money from it.

You can only throw away hundreds of millions of dollars on Avengers and Suicide Squad so many times before they decide to come up with something people are willing to pay for.

TastehWaffleZ, do games w [PyottDesign] Ultimate FPS Controller Design and Build

The amount of skills that came together to create this controller is incredible. It was so satisfying watching everything come together, I wish I could try it out.

lemmy_at_em,

It seems like every step in the process was it’s own discipline.

ColeSloth,

Be cool if he’d offer to sell them. I know of some people who’d drop $200 for it.

TastehWaffleZ,

For sure! It seems like a decent amount of work but all the modeling is done already. The problem is that he’d have to buy an Xbox controller and the mouse for the internals, the breakaway box, and the wires which is probably close to $200 right there

ColeSloth,

That’s true. Kind of fubars things right there.

MisterMoo, do gaming w Will Smith's Chinese Zombie Game [videogamedunkey]

How can he slap?

Nom,
SkabySkalywag,

I think you double tap the ‘x’ button.

mr_robot2938,

Don’t worry, will smith didn’t participate in this game either.

Fisk400,

Was Will Smith cool before that? The last movie I saw with him is that one movie where he co-stared with himself and the one before that was after earth.

I guess the one with the tennis was ok? His involvement was hardly a stamp of quality before the slap.

EnderMB,

He had put out a long line of duds, but was still considered an accomplished actor. King Richard is probably an outlier as a critically acclaimed role for him, but even after a decade of mostly crap he’s still been getting the work.

Given the response from Chris Rock to the slap, that might all be over though. He’s still busy as a producer on Bel Air, which has been…okay? That might be his next move in his career.

A_Random_Idiot, do games w Grand Theft Auto VI Trailer 1

It looks like a modded GTAV.

Granted, its still well over a year out.

But Meh.

Especially since Rockstar will probably hyper focus on online multi and milking the whales, and give a shitty single player experience again.

Firipu,
@Firipu@startrek.website avatar

Gta5 had a shitty single player experience? Did we play the same game? Wtf?or rdr2, another Rockstar game?

Shit on Rockstar all you want, but their game have entertaining stories…

HerbalGamer,
@HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works avatar

They did leave a lot of stuff for online only, never even updating things in singleplayer.

Firipu,
@Firipu@startrek.website avatar

I’d argue I got my 60usd worth of content out of the single player. I can understand they focused on MP for further content.

HerbalGamer,
@HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works avatar

Would’ve made sense if they had it for sale as SP DLC

A_Random_Idiot,

Considering the going rate for games anymore seems to be 10 hours of game play for 60 dollars, I can believe you on that comment at least.

Firipu,
@Firipu@startrek.website avatar

You finished the gta 5 campaign in 10h? You just speedran it once?

If not, nice hyperbole…

(rdr2 campaign was also more than 10h, to name a recentish Rockstar game) . Many other big AAA titles aside from cod also have campaigns that last longer than 10h.

Hawk,

“Sequel to game looks like improved version of game”.

Not sure what point you’re trying to make here?

test113,

I think the point is - it’s disappointing to see GTA 5 2.0. I expected something more, something different, less generic, not just another coastal city or a GTA 5 clone. It seems like they just merged the engine update with GTA 5. Watching the trailer bored me, like being forced to watch a mediocre action comedy movie. I don’t know how the majority of the game will feel, but this trailer is just so generic. If this were a movie, no one would care. Maybe that’s the point, but still, my hype is somewhat gone. I at least expected a different scenario than this GTA 5 DLC story or at least set it somewhere other than a coastal city.

I haven’t watched this video, but watched the one by No Ordinary Gamer, and he included responses he got from Jirard. It didn’t look great.

fsxylo, (edited )

Yup. Definitely playing 2.0 because why not, but gonna wait for user reviews before I buy expansion.

chrisphero,

Exactly! It all looks good on paper, but I’m definitely waiting for reviews. Fool me once…

Murdoc,

Not that the original reviews were that great to go by either. Could have kept me from a lot of enjoyment.

chrisphero,

I played it even one day earlier on PS5… and the experience really wasn’t that great tbh, and than I had a game breaking bug on top of that as well.

I decided to just wait for the DLC and the big patch… we’ll, this took 3 years haha

Kaldo,
@Kaldo@kbin.social avatar

Yeah, I'm not that convinced that the new skill trees are any better or that they fixed the gearing/level scaling experience. Will definitely give 2.0 a try but might as well wait for a big discount with PL, after all it's not like they are going to work on the game afterwards anyway. The team will be moved to witcher 4 and cyberpunk 2077 is being developed by a new US studio, IIRC.

Side order and mariokart be looking good. league expanding outside of their MOBA and lore expansion is cute. Probably looking to capitalism off the show. Contra looks good even if it’s not “new”. Gf texted me demanding SpyXAnya.

But Jesus there was like 3 or 4 Turn Based RPGs with medieval settings and sprite artwork. In competition with Fire Emblem how is there this many? Good for competition I guess.

These remakes (Luigi mansion 2) are great and all but it really shows that if the cartridge slot had been 3ds sized from the beginning they wouldn’t be able to sell you these games again. LM2 isn’t that old to need a remake but they EoL’d the 3ds so here we are. Pretty diverse announcement set.

freebread,

Unicorn Overlord is from Vanillaware though- I’m willing to give anything coming from them a shot.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Same here. Though, I still haven’t tried 13 Sentinels, so can’t say anything about their recent games. Loved their 2D brawler / RPG ones.

freebread,

Highly recommend 13 Sentinels if you’re a fan of visual novels. Simply beautiful with great music and characters. If you’re not a fan of VNs though, the RTS gameplay is so minimal that I wouldn’t bother. It’s well-designed and enjoyable but barely 10% of the runtime.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Oh, it’s on my wish list, I just have a huuuuge wishlist and a backlog, so haven’t gotten around to it yet.

slimerancher,
@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

I think it’s kind of a genre revival. The genre was very under represented for a long time, so probably many devs started working on such games, and then ended up releasing them all close to each other.

I’m glad to see Yahtzee is still doing actual critical reviews. There’s a shortage of that these days.

It's pretty much all he does unless he finds an Obra Dinn-tier darling.

Except for Gollum, he was weirdly defensive of that for a game that pulled every AAA anti-consumer trick in the book without at least the decency to be bland.

joelfromaus,
@joelfromaus@aussie.zone avatar

Yeah, I don’t know who’s thinking Yhatzee is only doing positive reviews. I watch him regularly but I always keep in mind that it could be a 10/10 game that everyone loves and his show is predominantly about shitting on games so he’ll tear it to shreds for entertainment.

Nitrate55, do gaming w Baldur’s Gate 3 is Causing Some Developers to Panic
@Nitrate55@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

This reminds me of the time Ubisoft developers decided to have a bitchfit about Elden Ring because it didn’t have any of the same shitty monetization or trash formulaic design choices as their games.

It’s like these developers think that because they’re painfully mediocre, every other studio is required to be as well.

50MYT,

In similar fashion, EA/Dice woukd have desperately tried to ignore battlebit.

4 devs made a game that is better in nearly every way than any of the last few battlefield games in their spare time.

I hope AAA studios clear house and find a new formula that doesn’t ruin good IP.

50gp,

dice is the perfect example of a studio with the worst kind of incompetent people in charge of game direction

they released a great game in battlefield 1 and went to shit after that chasing trends and monetisation strategies over everything else

(shoutout to the guys who worked on base gameplay of BFV, they got fucked over by dumb decisions from higher up)

Wahots,
@Wahots@pawb.social avatar

Battlefield 1 is still good. God it’s fun to play. Though they left balance kinda weird on the last update. I wish standard issue rifles were better than the theoretical automatics that most soldiers didn’t have, or the ones that were invented in the last week of the war.
