reverendsteveii, do gaming w Baldur’s Gate 3 is Causing Some Developers to Panic

What if games have to be good, not just eventually but on the day we sell it to someone.

LoamImprovement,

Worse yet, what if we have to do some QA on PC and optimize our games instead of just hoping that they don’t continuously crash on launch?

Caligvla, do games w Titan Quest II | Announcement Trailer

Reminder that this is not being done by the original Titan Quest developers Crate (who made Grim Dawn), and the last few Titan Quest DLCs were very… Bad.

So temper your expectations.

Vordus,

The past few Titan Quest DLCs were made by Pieces Interactive who are currently working on yet another Alone in the Dark remake. Titan Quest II is being made by Grimlore Games, who made the Spellforce 3 trilogy of RTS/RPG hybrids.

Not sure how much of an improvement that is, but it’s not quite the worst-case scenario. So that’s nice.

The newest Spellforce was fantastic, so I’m tentatively interested now.

it’s a bit like D&D

No, dude. It is D&D. It’s set in Forgotten Realms, follows the actual lore and uses the actual mechanics of the pen and paper game for all the dice rolling stuff (barring a few things that need tweaking for the medium and eschewing more meta rules that can only work in a PnP setting).

As a fan of both the original Baldur’s Gate games and D&D in general, I have found BG3 to be the absolute pinnacle of the D&D CRPG subgenre. It lets you do so much more stuff than any other D&D game. I love it. It’s been a while… The last D&D game that did as much as BG3 is doing now was Neverwinter Nights.

I’ve been watching this one for a while. I really enjoy the style but I find the fact that they couldn’t figure out getting the world in the same hand drawn style is offsetting. I hope it’s something I just get used to?

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know if they couldn’t figure it out or if they intended it this way, but I like the look. The 3D environments look like the bottom-most layer of an old-fashioned cartoon, where it’s painted and clearly not going to move.

hzl,

Honestly the mix of 2d and 3d makes me want to play it. It’s giving Roger Rabbit vibes.

Rose, do gaming w Valve's CS2 Update adds Paid Skin-Offer-Gambling - YouTube 3kliksphilip

If Valve were any other company, it would get crucified for its practices, including that it was the first in the West to popularize microtransactions with its Team Fortress 2, long before the likes of EA. It’s just that gamers have a blind spot for Valve.

@_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

I’m torn. Valve has been so good for Linux gaming. They made a handheld console that emphasizes real ownership and the right to repair. They generally make good decisions when it comes to things and while they do take a big cut of game sales, their platform has so many features it’s crazy.

This gambling thing though really sucks. I get that they need to monetize, but I feel like they could get away with just selling skins, or having the loot boxes being a free daily play reward that drops things that could be sellable on the marketplace. No way to buy a box like this. Just earned for free through play.

Cevilia,

They don’t need to monetize.

Valve is already a stupidly profitable company.

priapus,

I’ve never minded micro transactions, as long as they’re cosmetic and dont exist in a full AAA priced game, and Valves are neither.

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Release Date Trailer (December 4)

As soon as I saw the motorcycle, I was immediately out. This is not Metroid.

AlexLost,

Pretty sure Nintendo is the definitive voice on what Metroid is, so I’ll take their word and not yours. They are trying something new, something every Metroid has done. I’ll wait until I e played the game before I judge it’s merits

TachyonTele,

Nintendo hasn't made a Metroid game in decades. Retro Studios made this.

AlexLost,

With Nintendo. But okay.

TachyonTele,

Nintendo published this game.

AlexLost,

It’s Nintendo property and they very much had a say in how it gets developed. Nintendo is not just a publisher.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Nintendo has been wrong before. Metroid Other M and Federation Force.

AlexLost,

Never said they haven’t, I said I’d trust them and judge for myself, not some edgelord mad because of element he dislikes. Without even actually seeing it mind you.

RightHandOfIkaros,

I did see it. It was the entire highlight of the trailer. I did not like it.

I do not have to play the game in order to give my opinion on what I have seen. If you take a crap on my dinner plate, I do not have to eat it to make sure it is crap first. I can see it, and I do not like it. It is an element that was completely unnecessary, and continues to make it very easy for me to avoid purchasing products that fund a vexatious litigant with a video game side business.

AlexLost,

Your loss. It’s was like 20 seconds. Awful quick to make up your mind, but that’s the world these days. We’re all experts after a minute of research.

Suburbanl3g3nd,

There’s a motorcycle in BotW and people love that game lol. What a weird take

RightHandOfIkaros,

Not me, lol.

Just because people like something doesn’t mean its good. Fortnite, League of Legends, the Disney Star Wars Sequel trilogy, etc.

RealM__,

You mean the DLC-exclusive motorcycle in BotW, that released 9 months after the actual game, that you only unlock after completing all major dungeons, do a long quest chain, and then an additional dungeon plus a boss fight, that drains materials while you use it?

You are comparing that DLC Bonus to an (appearent) major game design mechanic showcased in this Metroid Reveal Trailer?

Be real dude.

tkohldesac,
@tkohldesac@lemmy.world avatar

You just know the last boss or one of its forms is going to be riding either a bigger motorcycle or a car. And you’re going to have to destroy all the wheels in order to get it to stop.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Nintendo absolutely could not control themselves. There are probably multiple motorcycle bossfights. At least one is definitely in the massive empty desert area.

BombOmOm, (edited ) do games w Gamers Nexus's 3-hour GPU smuggling documentary is finally back up after being fraudulently DMCA'd by Bloomberg. Go give them a watch to make up for some of the lost traction!
@BombOmOm@lemmy.world avatar

Edit: OP corrected the link. Please support Gamer’s Nexus.

This is a re-upload by a third party. Which is perfectly acceptable, but do note it’s not back up on Gamer’s Nexus’ page.

hakase, (edited )

Oops, thanks, I was watching it on my phone and grabbed the wrong link from Duckduckgo. I’ve corrected the link to point to their video.

Note that it is back up - I’m watching it on their channel on my phone right now.

No it’s on the GN page again as of 2/3 days ago.

The fucking gall of teasing the game for a decade and not just saying what’s the status rather than doing this bullshit.

After all this time we’re finally getting a direct sequel to the first game? I never thought I’d see the day.

psx_crab, do games w Ragnarok Online 3 Gameplay Trailer

Took them long enough to recreate the classic instead of trying to dumb it down into autoplay mess tencent created.

yggstyle,

Quite literally hit the “don’t you guys have phones” energy there for a bit with some of their titles.

Genuinely this trailer got me pretty excited. Hopefully this is enough of the original with some modern improvements. It definitely looks good.

psx_crab,

Honestly i’m holding back my excitement, considering it’s Gravity. Even if it’s a very low hanging fruit, i wouldn’t put it past them to not mess it up.

CaptainBasculin, (edited ) do games w Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted – Pre-Order Trailer

The existence of this game was leaked a week back, not surprising.

While my money won’t touch anything involving EA related, I’m really afraid of what they might do to the game’s mobile ports (that is if they even port it)

Not much of a secret

DebatableRaccoon,

It is from those not paying attention (see: most people)

echodot, do games w The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]

This is a PR issue. For some bizarre reason they decided that game preservation should be independent of the right to repair movement a movement that had fairly significant momentum by the time they started talking about games preservation. So for some insane reason they separated the two concepts in people’s minds and that resulted in nobody caring.

Then they decided to whine about the fact that it was unsuccessful despite the fact that they’d essentially done everything they could to kneecap the movement.

gamer,

What does game preservation have to do with right to repair? I support both, but if people don’t care about preserving games, latching it onto the right to repair movement is just going to drag it down for no reason.

Maalus,

Nothing, one was simply trendy and OP doesn’t know how movements work so they just lumped it together
