NanoooK, w It costs $100 to unlock all of Street Fighter 6’s TMNT content | VGC

Don’t buy the game then. Editor won’t stop if their sales don’t decrease.

else,

The game is great and easily the best japanese fighting game experience for casuals. (Mechanically I prefer anime fighters though.) For once a Japanese game has all the bells and whistles instead of almost purely focusing on the multiplayer.

The cosmetics are what they are. At least it’s not p2w but it’s up to consumers to not spend if they don’t agree with paying more in a game they already bought.

Edit: downvote me all you want but the truth is that street fighter 6 was a very big step forward for japanese fighting games in terms of what they offer consumers. The fgc hasn’t had games that can truly appeal to and bring in new players so I can’t help but be happy for it. The only exceptions would be NRS’s games and smash.

cantstopthesignal,

I don’t know why people hate on this so much. Cosmetics are how they want to make money and it doesn’t fuck up the game play.

WarmSoda, w Translators for Baldurs Gate 3 worked for 3 years translating more than 1 million words and Altagram Group only credited their execs and leads

That’s how being a vender works.

deranger,

I’d say that’s okay if only the company is credited by name, but the execs names were included. If they’re including names, include all the names. It’s not a long list from what I saw on Twitter.

SuperSleuth, w The Lords of the Fallen: The First 13 Minutes of Gameplay

It seems like this game took a lot of “inspiration” from FromSoft’s titles. That’s opening it up to critiques and comparisons to FromSoft’s game design.

Like how the riposte mechanic doesn’t look like it really impacts enemies in the same satisfying way.

Great, i love blasphemous 1. 2nd now looks even better.

WallSoGB really just burst onto the scene last year and established himself as one of the absolute top tier FNV modders alongside lStewieAl, Xilandro et al.

Incredible the things people are doing with this game. We got true picture-in-picture scopes earlier this year, now real time reflections. What’s next?

nick, w This Fallout New Vegas Mod adds a real-time reflections system

The FNV modding scene is great. I just installed Living Desert last night and was very impressed.

Lojcs, w Assassin's Creed Mirage has gone gold and is coming out a week early

What’s the point of coming out a week early?

keefshape,

Ask Larian. They seem to have garnered some extra good-will.

people finally realized that you don’t need 100GB of textures and micro-transactions to have fun. Never thought I’d see the day

If you already own quake ii on steam this is a free update which is cool.

Altreus,

I just discovered this. Insane! Not that I’m complaining. Wanted to stream it but wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get it … Win!

Lolors17, w Overwatch 2 is now Steam's "worst game of all time"
@Lolors17@feddit.de avatar

If I’m being honest, they deserve it. I played Overwatch 2 maybe 10 Times, the constant reminder that you aren’t playing for fun, but for a totally original and new character or something very useful like a skin in the battle pass is quite annoying. The 5v5 was at first glance refreshing but got old at a rapid pace. Just play Team Fortress 2 if you’re looking for a great shooter.

  • Mr_Dr_Oink,

    They dont push it on you, except when you need to grind 45 levels a season just to be able to play the new character that anyone willing to pay already has.

    Maybe thats not a problem for you, i dont k ow your situation, but i get enough time for maybe 2 or 3 games a night except when i have nothing else on. I BARELY scraped getting rammattra and i had to win 35 games as support to get lifeweaver (which sucked as a solo player). Now theres another one i have no hope in hell of unlocking unless i want to cough up the cash.

    That isnt fun, its a fucking drain. Its boring and its a complete slap in the face for anyone who supported overwatch 1 and waited years for the version of overwatch 2 that we were all promised that isnt going to happen.

    No thanks. Im going to play baldurs gate 3.

    99nights,

    God forbid you have an actual life when it comes to others and gaming.

  • Mr_Dr_Oink,

    So you are saying that you had a different experience to me and that is exactly my point. Putting aside the fact that i glfind it very unlikely that you got the new hero “with ease” i did not and winning 35 games as support as a solo player is not easy or fun.

    Regardless saying you dont need the new hero shows you dont really understand the mechanics of the game. You are supposed to be able to change your character to counter the choices the opposing team have made. If the new character is a good counter and i dont have them then i lose out. Simple as that.

    Guess that’ll be the last time they put a game on steam

    @Call_Me_Maple@lemmy.world avatar

    Nah, the next CoD is most definitely coming to Steam. Blizzard had to know that these reviews were coming from the discourse online alone. Plus, pretty sure that it’s Microsoft’s decision to do so now anyways and there’s no way their going to limit their potential profits by locking out a platform like that just over some bad reviews.

    Contend6248,

    You poor soul, do you think they give one single fuck?

    Blizzard is tone deaf, all they look at is the moneyflow

    r1veRRR,

    How is everybody just now finding out how capitalism works? Any public company is LEGALLY REQUIRED to care only about shareholder profits. It is literally illegal for them to do anything else.

    upandatom,

    This is not true.

    the_post_of_tom_joad,

    That’s a widespread belief my friend, that is just not true.

    chiliedogg,

    Fiduciary duty is a real thing. Agent/principal relationships require the agent to try and get the maximum return for the level of risk.

    Even if a CEO doesn’t have a written fiduciary duty in their contract do, the company as a whole usually does.

    The CEO of a public corporation reports to the board who report to index fund managers who have a agent/principal relationships with all of their investors.

    upandatom,

    Your examples are not counter points to the original claim of

    Any public company is LEGALLY REQUIRED to care only about profits. It is literally illegal for them to do anything else.

    chiliedogg,

    The comment was basically shorthand for “a fiduciary duty exists between corporate leadership and shareholders, creating a legally-enforceable requirement that the only consideration be maximum potential return on investment for existing shareholders and risk.”

    r1veRRR,

    It’s absolutely true in practice. CEOs have gotten sued for not acting in the shareholders best interests.

    And in relation to the original comment I replied to, are you truly saying that companies, esp. public companies, are not, FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, beholden to making money for the shareholders? Any “nice” company will make less money, will not compete well, will then fail or be bought out by the less nice, more profitable company.

    the_post_of_tom_joad,

    Im not a lawyer, but I’ve looked into this misunderstanding before and it stems from what constitutes "breaking one’s fiduciary duty to investors. While deliberately acting against the interests of investors is illegal, ive yet to hear of a lawsuit, let alone a successful one, brought by an investor for not making all of the money. Id be interested in hearing an investment oriented lawyers perspective since from what i understand, the full extent of fiduciary duty has not been tested that way in court

    JustZ,
    @JustZ@lemmy.world avatar

    Lawyer here, it is true.

    Board of directors and company officers have a fiduciary duty to the stockholders and the corporate entity.

    Acts done outside their authority as stated in the articles of corporations are said to be ultra vires. They are absolutely actionable.

    When the directors or officers breach the fiduciary duty to shareholders, they are liable under what’s called a derivative action, because it is derivative of the contract represented by the stock certificate.

    Kraivo,

    They only come to steam because of desperation

    binbou, w Overwatch 2 is now Steam's "worst game of all time"

    I wish TF2 got the eSports treatment it deserved

    ezures,

    Honestly forcing competitive in tf2 was the worst thing to happen to it.

    Naz,

    I used to play Q2 competitively, so I’m a little opinionated:

    Not all games are eSports-ready, nor do they need to be.

    Why: eSports need to be fair. Everyone has to start at the same place, and the majority, if not all of the performance has to come from player skill.

    E.g: Imagine modern football where certain players running on the field could just randomly teleport or fly, but most can’t.

    Class-based (hero arena, etc) shooters are inherently unequal in the same way, because that’s the point of classes (e.g: Heavy having more HP than Scout, Spy being able to cloak and so on).

    If you’re about to make the argument that “TF2/OW/LOL/WTFBBQ” requires plenty of skill despite the abilities/imbalance: save it.

    There’s an enormous gulf between what the audience and casual players + enthusiasts perceive as being inside of an eSport and what’s actually going on mechanically on the top-level.

    Players optimize and engineer the fun out of a game.

    eSports players/pros engineer the game out of the game.

    ashenblood,

    Very strange argument. It seems like you’re bad at those games and created some elaborate theory to rationalize it. Class based games require just as much, if not more, skill than non-class based games. As the number of classes increases, the total amount of knowledge required and variety of techniques available also tends to increase.

    Professional players do optimize the fun out of a game, but that’s totally unrelated to the point you were trying to make.

    zalgotext,

    If you’re about to make the argument that “TF2/OW/LOL/WTFBBQ” requires plenty of skill despite the abilities/imbalance: save it.

    You know, normally this sort of statement would be followed up with some sort of rationale or explanation

    Naz, w Baldur's Gate 3 is now the top rated game on Open Critic

    BG3 is phenomenal. It feels like it came out in 1998, and that’s a good thing.

    Underwaterbob,

    Have you played Baldur’s Gate 1 recently? 2E is a nightmare of THACO and instant death waiting around every corner. Weapons break constantly, mages inevitably hold your entire party, it’s very easy to wander off in the wrong direction and die, NPCs have wonky stats that cannot be respecced. Save scumming is mandatory unless you really, really know your stuff.

    The writing is still amazing, though.

    BG3 does not feel like it came out in 1998.

    bouh,

    Instant death like being thrown off a cliff? :D

    Thac0 is not intuitive, but it’s not the end of the world either.

    And no, you don’t need any mage in your party.

    Man I feel like we played a different game.

    Zink,

    The lethality of the world in 1&2 contributed to so many memorable moments in them, for me at least.

    There’s something different about figuring out step by step how it is even possible to beat the enemy that wrecked your shit as soon as you walked into the room, versus grinding out a more typical battle. I’m not saying it’s better, or that BG3 has to be that way, but it is definitely a big part of this particular series for me.

    For example, I have vivid memories of running into mind flayers, and fights with certain dragons, and the demogorgon, and Kangaxx, and even the first time getting to the gnoll stronghold.
