chonglibloodsport, do games w The Rogue Prince of Persia 1.0 is coming in August!

Nothing like Prince of Persia. Has that overwrought modern platformer control scheme (with a zillion different things you can do in the air) that every single other modern platformer has. No thanks!

Anyone know of any modern platformer games without all that nonsense? The idea is to feel more like a human who actually needs to think before jumping. I want to feel the weight of my character, feel a strong sense of momentum, and be fully committed to jumps. Air jumps and mid-air momentum control are not my style.

I wanted to play Lost Crown, but it requires an internet connection to play. Hard pass.

When did “modding a game” shift from “creating new mods” to “applying mods”?

Idk but it makes it hard to find modding (creating mods) ressources online

pyre,

I’m pretty sure it’s always been both. They’re both modifying the game.

We need a Linux GOG Galaxy, not another mod marketplace. This seems like it’s in preparation for Skyblivion.

Stabbitha,
Don_alForno,

Heroic works better than Galaxy does in Windows. They should just pay the Heroic devs for their work and make that their official launcher.

recall519,

Heroic works until it doesn’t.

Don_alForno,

So does Galaxy?

Let’s say I have not yet had to do a full reinstall of Heroic and multiple associated games because something got unfixably (for my level of understanding) borked during an update.

So does Galaxy?

Heroic is a community “we hope it’s useful but don’t complain when it doesn’t” product.

With Galaxy you are a paying customer who has rights.

Don_alForno,

Galaxy is free and not required. If it doesn’t work you can download games from the website (which I consider an important feature). I’m pretty sure you don’t have any rights whatsoever.

Buuut it also reinforces my point. The free open source solution works better than their in-house one.

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Galaxy is free and not required.

It’s a product for paying customers of GOG games. You have rights you don’t have with some open source hobby project.

Don_alForno,

I have lots of free games from GOG. You don’t have to be a paying customer to use Galaxy.

Which rights do you have?

woelkchen,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

Which rights do you have?

Plenty. GOG sp. z o.o. is an EU company after all.

Don_alForno,

Ok, but which? Can you sue them if Galaxy, a free tool that they provide for convenience and that isn’t required for the actual service, doesn’t work, or if it breaks a game? Name one thing.

douz0a0bouz,
carotte,

they already do! (sorta)

if you buy games through heroic, the heroic devs get a percentage of the sale

I just hope the flaws have a much better reward than the first. The tradeoff never felt like they were worth it.

pyre,

that’s one of the things they underlined in the direct. they seem to be more interesting in general. klepto for example lets you sell things you’ve stolen for more money but every now and then you auto steal stuff you look at, which can get you in trouble.

FireIced, do games w GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins

I guess good thing, but what about improving GOG initially? There are many things to add and improve

Red_October,

So they added one thing, but you’re complaining they haven’t added literally every other improvement you can imagine?

FireIced,

It’s not every other improvements, it’s basic features requested for years.

Dumb things like being able to edit your reviews or delete them without mailing the support. Having the ability to download old versions of offline installers instead of being forced to use their app…

It’s pretty obvious that I meant that this addition is welcome, but I critize their priorities.

Even GOG Galaxy for Linux. Forgot this still wasn’t added.

Nice to see some competition in this space. Steam dropped the ball by not getting fallout London.

Steam dropped the ball by not getting fallout London.

How is that Steam’s fault?

Better be game of the year for 80.

victorz, do games w The Rogue Prince of Persia 1.0 is coming in August!

Nice! I bought it Early Access on sale, still haven’t launched it…

Emerica,

I was pleasantly surprised how great it felt when I tried it a few months ago. They just released an update that apparently “massively improves movement feel”, haven’t tried it since then but it was already really nice.

victorz,

Cool, looking forward to playing!

While I appreciate increased visibility for such (often awesome) mods, I kind of doubt good guys at gog can manage to ship actual versions of them.

datavoid, do games w GOG One-Click Mods | New era of modding begins

I know for a fact whoever developed the GoG launcher isn’t capable of adding this in.

Source: half of the connectors to other game services don’t work, and they haven’t bothered to make their Mac app function in literally years (and if asked about this they tell you to “use the website”).

Don_alForno,

Even fewer people game on Mac than on Linux (judging by the Steam survey). I bet it’s not that they can’t they just don’t care.

So like the steam workshop? Cool.

REDACTED,

Yes, but most of those games don’t have steam workshop.

Hopefully JB Smooth can be the frog gun still. He was cool. Also the one that shot goober babies out was friendly I liked him too.

Why not just cooperate with nexus mods? Their new app (yes, still a deep beta) works quite well

HollowNaught,
@HollowNaught@lemmy.world avatar

Because nexus mods is woeful, and their gradual enshittification isn’t a good sign

shadowedcross,
@shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works avatar

What examples can you give of their enshittification?

HollowNaught,
@HollowNaught@lemmy.world avatar

I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would run ads. I can think of a few reasons as to why a website would limit download speeds

I cannot fathom for any non greed-ridden reason as to why a website would make you wait five seconds before downloading a mod. It’s an inconvenience for the sake of an inconvenience, a problem they made to sell the solution

Of course, we need to keep in mind that they don’t make the mods, they merely host them. Compare the amount of bloat on their website to other, less funded ones such as lovers lab and gamebanana, and it becomes apparent that there’s a money sink somewhere

seralth,

    Okay, but slowing everybody down by five seconds doesn’t smooth anything at all. It just shifts the curve five seconds to the right

    Can’t download mods without logging in anymore

    SomethingBurger,

    And registration hasn’t worked for years. Pointing this out in this community will earn you downvotes. Nexus Mods is completely unusable trash.

    FireIced,

    Isn’t this exactly like GOG Mods?

    BuboScandiacus,
    @BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz avatar
    1. Nexus is only about mods, it’s not a bonus feature
    2. Nexus mods used to be available without logging in
    FireIced,

    We don’t need a proprietary mod platform anyways.

    And sure, you can’t eshitificate if you’re already shit

    INeedMana,
    @INeedMana@lemmy.world avatar

    I didn’t notice it going bad. What’s going on?

    FenrirIII,
    @FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

    Still using NMM. I will never switch to Vortex (mostly because my list of mods is insane)

    INeedMana,
    @INeedMana@lemmy.world avatar

    I mean the new one, not Vortex

    I have the first one on Steam, this reminds me I need to go play that.

    naticus,

    You should! It’s a very solid game with a fun story. Just don’t play like my group did and end up on NG+9 on the hardest difficulty. We JUST quit the game two weeks ago to move onto other games, but now this drops. Lol figures.
