LongbottomLeaf, w Starfield is Bethesda's Least Buggiest Game to Date, Say Sources

Oh no, what’d they break this time?

conciselyverbose, w Starfield is Bethesda's Least Buggiest Game to Date, Say Sources

I sincerely don't mind their balance between bugs and ambition, but all this shit has me terrified.

Is this just a first party alternative to bluestacks?

Pika,
@Pika@sh.itjust.works avatar

No, because at least bluestack’s has decent support. There is only a handful of games actually supported by this, whereas bluestacks supports most games.

I mean technically I guess it’s an alternative… but it is a super crappy one.

I was hoping they’d focus on world immersion stuff. Like 90% of the mods do.

unlike Baldur's Gate 3, absolutely everything about this game was designed specifically with microtrans in mind

@Bizarroland@kbin.social avatar

Oh my God, you can't just say microtrans. The proper terminology is "gender dysphoric little person"

yeather,

Actually that’s the wrong use of that word in this context. It’s actually a “queer questioning point of sale system” he’s talking about.

could be short for microtransient, and then we're talking about little hobos.. and who doesn't want to talk about little hobos..

vaultdweller013,

No no no thats also wrong, it stands for micro transmission. Ya know for small vehicles.

kostel_thecreed,

Even you got it wrong! They were talking about the micro figurines for transformers! How you could miss that!!!

Blizzard used to be great. Now they are awful.

arefx,

They’ve been awful since Activision got involved. I knew that was the end the day the news broke, people told me I was wrong. I wish.

Also they sexually harassed an employee to suicide. That tells you all you need to know.

Omega_Jimes,

Blizzard has been on a downward trend for a lot longer than 3 years.

mothersprotege, w Dragon Age Dreadwolf keeps getting delayed internally, report claims

I think at this point the best plan is to mash all the assets together and release Dragon Effect. Mass Dragon? No, that sounds like maybe a Catholic dragon. Mass Age? No, people will buy it expecting a massage. Maybe subvert all expectations and go with Age Effect! We’ll throw out all the magic and aliens, it’ll be a harrowing exploration of human mortality.

This is retarded as fuck. As a parent what the fuck you’re doing?

AlbertScoot, w AMD claims there’s nothing stopping Starfield from adding Nvidia DLSS

I mean, this has always been the case. This is a practice going back decades for video card manufacturers.

What are the micro-transactions for? Are you at a huge disadvantage by not spending money? What is the game even about? I thought it was just a bunch of kids derping around and building things.

PrejudicedKettle,

Roblox is a platform where some users create games and other players play them. It’s grown to be a pretty powerful platform/engine, but is now significantly more complex than it used to.

Roblox has the ability for users to add micro-transactions to their game. Essentially, users get a small portion of the micro-transactions back as real-world currency. It’s up to users/developers who make those games to choose what players get in exchange for these micro-transactions.

As far as I can tell, the quality of games has dramatically increased since I quit. My guess would be that the users/developers making games are now adults, and the players are still kids.

jayandp,

Roblox is a sandbox game sort of like Minecraft, but with way more power given to third-party developers and users to develop and distribute content in it. What you’d consider mods for other games are the whole point of Roblox, and MTX can be implemented by those third-party developers using “Robux” as a currency. The MTX can be your usual MTX fare of skins and power-ups, but also often abused for less ethical purposes, like gambling mechanics. The fact that Robux can be cashed out for real money via official and unofficial methods mean that’s it’s ripe for abuse.

Update: Also, I wasn’t aware of this before the article, but apparently gambling sites have figured out a method to link a Roblox account to their external sites, and then use the user’s Robux wallet as currency in their illegal online casinos.

Wow, that’s fucking wild!

Psythik,

The way I understand it, it’s basically a game engine that kids can use. I don’t think Roblox itself is actually a game; you use it to make games.

Don’t know what the microtransactions are for, however.

PsychedSy,

A galaxy brain way to use children as labor to make shitty games. And the kids even have fun doing it.

Varyag, w Armored Core VI peaks at 150K peak concurrent Steam players on day 1, making it the 4th biggest launch of 2023. It's also the second biggest From Software launch ever, second only to Elden Ring
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

As an AC veteran greatly enjoying the new game after many years waiting, I feel vindicated.

And don’t worry about sucking at this game! Even I had to spend 6 hours fighting Balteus to finally defeat it. Stick with the game, try different builds until something works for you.

fckreddit,

Not everyone has the time or patience to fight a boss for 6 hours. I guess I will stick with my boring ass games with easy modes. No offense to you.

Pyr_Pressure, w Roblox ‘operates illegal gambling ring that preys on children’: lawsuit

I hope it expands to other companies like blizzard and EA. Loot boxes are predatory and no fun.

AnAngryAlpaca,

I think the critical part here is that 3rd parties can cash out in-game currency, which makes money laundering possible. With big game publishers the money can only flow into their own pockets with microtransactions.

Whirlybird,

This has no resemblance to anything companies like blizzard and ea do.

Yes, for $.99
