Age of War. Was also the last browser game I ever played. Yes it’s old.

sloppy_diffuser, w Browser games you have burned a lot of time on?

diep.io and only domination. Stopped going when they put that game mode on some stupid rotation.

I’ve noticed AI tends to give everyone light blue eyes. Back when I used YouTube, I noticed people use AI to generate thumbnails and all people with brown eyes had blue eyes which confused me.

When I was in school it was all about Neopets and Adventure Quest.

DeriHunter, w Ubisoft just added Denuvo to Assassins Creed Mirage via a day-1 patch a few minutes ago. AFTER all the major reviews went online.

It was the same with lies of P… I think it’s becoming a trend and someone needs to stop it, it’s false advertising. None of the reviews are credible, they’re not reviewing the same game

DrQuint,

Nah, they don’t need to stop this at all. This basically lets people pirate games all they want so long as the devs don’t intentionally throw in a game breaking bug on the review version.

HughJanus,

I think Valve has the power to end this nonsense…

rivalary,

Ah shit… Removed it from my wishlist. At least I didn’t already buy it.

Oneeightnine, w Telltale laid most of it's staff in September
!deleted4231 avatar

Didn’t they only just reform after previously being laid off?

sugar_in_your_tea,

They went bankrupt, and then they were bought by someone else. So this is a new Telltale, and apparently they’re having similar issues.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

It’s been 4 years.

DigitalPaperTrail,

so about the dev cycle of one game that took a little longer than usual

mindbleach, w iRacing acquires NASCAR's console video game license from Motorsport Games

Exclusivity is broken.

SimpleMachine, w Browser games you have burned a lot of time on?

Played linerider waaaaay too much back in the day.

lemmyvore, w Commandos: Origins | Announcement Trailer (US)

Only like 3 seconds worth of actual gameplay footage, the rest is cinematics.

PenguinTD,

I loved the old ones, I hope this is good enough for today.

Oni_eyes, w Browser games you have burned a lot of time on?

Does tribal wars count?

There was also one about forming your own country and passing laws and stuff but I don’t remember the name. It was out around 2002 or so

QuantumEyetanglement, w Ubisoft just added Denuvo to Assassins Creed Mirage via a day-1 patch a few minutes ago. AFTER all the major reviews went online.

ELI5?

pptouchi,

Denuvo is always online DRM software, that usually results in performance issues (reduced frame rate, increased latency, stuttering, etc.).

In this case it appears Ubisoft avoided tried to skirt the potential bad press from performance issues by delaying the inclusion of denuvo until after people had bought the game/early reviews came out.

HughJanus,

Are there any publishers that aren’t actively trying to sabotage their own userbase? Activision? Ubisoft? Blizzard? EA? Even Valve now going to town on shitty microtransactions and deleting CS:GO?

leftzero,

CD Projekt Red…?

eldopgergan,

I guess they did it since Denuvo is generally known to cause performance issues in games.

So, reviewers gave scores on the denuvo-less game, which would have better performance, thus better scores, then they patched denuvo into it, so that they will get their drm and any performance drops will not play a role in any low scores.

But I can’t understand why reviewers can’t update their review… maybe it’s expensive for major reviewers?

gila,

I’m sure some will, the result will still be as intended though: a higher Metacritic score

TheOneCurly,
@TheOneCurly@lemmy.theonecurly.page avatar

Denuvo is a very complex anti piracy system for games that is pretty controversial. There’s a lot of evidence that it affects performance and it forces games that wouldn’t otherwise need Internet to be activated online regularly.

It’s the kind of thing that a reviewer would mention and that some people would use in their buying decisions. Sneaking it in after launch is going to make some people pretty mad and I’d feel used as a reviewer.

InEnduringGrowStrong,
@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

Denuvo is like having to call your helicopter mom every other minute to make sure you still have the right to play.
If the call fails, or she doesn’t pickup, or if you can’t call for any reason (maybe your in the woods and have no service) you’re instantly teleported into a dark room and all your toys are gone because everyone assumes you’re a criminal now.

QuantumEyetanglement,

All great explanations, thanks everyone! But this is my favorite so far, thanks!

amio,

Denuvo bad.

In the (vain) quest to make people stop pirating, it goes so far (admittedly also comes the closest to "working") that it starts causing significant side effects. It's also apparently always online, which is a historical pet peeve for a lot of people: it doesn't add any value to the game, but it does add a buttload of possible extra ways for the game to crash or become unavailable. With no benefit to you, the player, and not much you can do about it, other than playing the games of someone who's not quite as much of a dick.

rikudou, w CD Projekt Doesn't Regret Making Cyberpunk 2077 First-Person, but Has Yet to Decide on Cyberpunk 2
@rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

They should regret. First-person RPG is like third-person shooter. It works, but it’s weird.

How can you be a character when you’re seeing it from a distance?

First person is the only way to have immersion. At least let the players choose.

khornechips,

I respect your opinion, but I disagree. I much prefer an over the shoulder third person perspective to being a floating set of arms. Being able to see my character interact physically with the world and move around in it is more immersive to me, personally.

Fjern, w Telltale Games has reportedly laid off most of their staff
@Fjern@lemmy.world avatar

Thought Telltale recently got revived or summat…?

simple,

They went bankrupt ages ago, got recently picked up by another company and revived, and now it seems like they’re going under again. Nobody really knows what’s happening behind the scenes but as the tweet says, seems like they’re all under NDA.

lenathaw,

After the revival they just re-released the Batman games, announced a sequel to The Wolf Among Us and then nothing for 4 years? It is sad to see Telltale gone, but at the same time I am not surprised.

simple,

They did release a game for The Expanse recently, but it didn’t seem to do too well.

ChaoticEntropy,
@ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk avatar

It was an Epic exclusive… so they must have gotten paid something already. Did they just take the signing pay and then cut their losses…?

InEnduringGrowStrong,
@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

In a way they were already gone, that’s just another nail.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

They never got revived. A third party bought their titles and company title when they went bankrupt.

The new company renamed a division of itself to Telltale and offered the old devs jobs as temporary contract workers.

None of the previous workers took the job. They did end up hiring Adhoc Studios (real former TellTale members) to work on TWAU2 after development stalled.

It should be no surprise that the company is laying off people. They did nothing with the IPs for 4 years besides sit on royalties.
