kugmo, w Xbox Exclusive Replaced Delayed: 'At This Point We Can't Afford to Release a Sub-Par Game'

Starfield’s quality really shook them huh.

NewNewAccount,

Good or bad?

li10,

Buggy and disappointing to a lot of people.

Buggy and disappointing to a lot of people.

And here I am, thinking that it fits Game Pass with its “7/10, would not buy it but it’s alright if it’s on GamePass” quality games just perfectly.

simple, w Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Isn't Getting Any DLC, Says Nintendo

Kind of a shame. Can they at least release an update that adds master mode? It’s weird that it wasn’t included and has been a staple in the franchise.

JakoJakoJako13, w Diablo 4 GM confirms “annual expansions” for the game
@JakoJakoJako13@lemmy.world avatar

This is the first Diablo game that I’ve uninstalled within a year of getting it. The fact that it’s only been a couple months and it got worse not better makes this worse. It’s a seriously flawed game, and expansions won’t help it.

glimse, w Baldur's Gate 3 - Hotfix #5 Now Live

I like how the entire first part is about romancing a “secret” character and then it warms that the list below contains spoilers lol

The patch notes I’d really like to see are:

  1. The illithid power, Fly, now properly replaces the jump hotkey when specced into it.

PLEASE stop assuming I want to run across the map then jump. The workaround (put it on the custom bar) sucks if you have pets who can also fly as Z no longer works for it

  1. The custom action bar no longer rearranged itself when changing heights

Why is this even a thing? Cleric has so many damn spells, I want to use 3 rows! But if I do that, the icons scatter and the buttons with hotkeys get spaced out weird.

  1. Identical items now stack automatically when is looted, moved to bags, or sent between characters. If a character has an item in a bag, the item is automatically added to the bag

I pick up an arrow and it goes to my inventory. I drag it to my arrow bag and now I have 2 stacks of the same arrow. It’s easy to fix but I don’t think we should have to spend the time organizing that much.

  1. Players can now use dye on their bags and pouches

Right now the only way to differentiate is by container type. Is the pouch my bomb bag or is it the backpack? I always forget so I have to open one and see

  1. Several items have been updated and tagged appropriately so “Sort by type” actually sorts by type

The answer to “why can’t I drag all this stuff into an alchemy bag?” is usually “because there’s a camp supply in the selection”

PenguinTD,

I think if you post this to the steam community or larian’s community forum they can see it better than here on lemmy.

glimse,

This is my first Larian game (loving it so far), how are they with community feedback? My gripes are so minor and I haven’t seen many people feel the same way

PenguinTD,

your complains are itemized and exactly to the point. So that’s something developers would like to have. The difficulty to fix however is unknown, some seemingly simple fix would be very hard because of how the interaction is implemented. (ie, like sending stuff to another character or camp does not auto arrange/stacking similar item, it’s much easier to implement use the almost unlimited space slots, then when you actually sort, then they do the auto stacking for you when you manage a space.) people sometimes does not like auto sort result and prefer doing their own inventory, so they keep where the item is until you sort or moving. (more obvious after you did a trade and then to reorganize char’s inv)

glimse,

Fair points about the inventory spaces. The sorting is absolutely busted though as it doesn’t do what it says (sorting by TYPE)

PenguinTD,

I know, I wish we can config the priority of the type, so the more “useless” type are sorted to the bottom of stack, or even assign colored background for different type of things. As a hoarder that even collect rotten food early game it is annoying. (I did keep rotton stuff in a separate container and just sell the whole thing to merchant. )

glimse,

Yeah I’m with you, I’d say the inventory system is the only bad thing about the game.

Comment105, w Baldur's Gate 3's companions were overly horny due to a bug

there goes my shot with the lizardwoman

GrayBackgroundMusic, w Diablo 4 GM confirms “annual expansions” for the game

I don’t want annual expansions. I want good ones, no matter how long they take. Stop rushing shit. I miss “soon ™” Blizzard.

ryathal,

Those people left the company. Frostgiant studios is made of most the leads from blizzard that made starcraft and warcraft.

Astroturfed,

All the blizzard leadership cut out and have started a few new studios with games in the works. Don’t expect anything but highly monetized low effort money printer sequel game from Blizzard anymore. Stop buying their shit.

my_hat_stinks, w PAYDAY 3: Technical Open Beta FAQ

Why did they include questions in their faq that they didn’t want to answer? “Protecting IP” isn’t a benefit to the player, and claiming there’s no performance impact “at all” from denuvo is absolutely a lie; everything a computer does uses resources and therefore impacts performance, though you could argue how noticable the impact is.

sadie_sorceress, w Starfield gets low-spec PC mod for those gaming on potatoes

I’m playing with a Ryzen 5 and a 970 and it runs pretty smooth on low settings. I’m not a graphics whore though so I don’t mind the visuals on low.

Creat,

A Ryzen 5 is a pretty large span of processors, ranging from “old and mostly obsolete” to “modern and highly capable for gaming”. Which one exactly would be helpful for others to help judge their own.

sadie_sorceress,

Looks like this is what I bought almost exactly 3 years ago: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler

anteaters,
@anteaters@feddit.de avatar

Game does not really look good even at high settings. Releasing something with such bad performance and nothing to even show for is just insulting.

Jakeroxs,

Not my experience at all, looks really nice, I did get rid of the overblown LUTs tho for a neutral one from nexusmods.

There are definitely some silly things like some of the random gen NPCs look… Disturbing sometimes.

Other then that though, very detailed environments, textures are very high quality and shadows/lighting is good

anteaters,
@anteaters@feddit.de avatar

I’ll take another look at it today after I fiddle with the settings a bit. What I saw yesterday was not impressive - occasional stuttering while barely utilizing my 2060 on low/med settings while looking worse than Skyrim did in 2011.

ArchmageAzor, w Diablo 4 GM confirms “annual expansions” for the game
@ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world avatar

I played the demo and had a decently fun time with it. I probably would have bought it if it was like $50-$60. Of course it releases at $80 for the base version and no price drop since. Then comes the talk of the grindiness, now this. Just a bad deal all around.

GrayBackgroundMusic,

It was good at release, but it’s been mediocre at best, garbage at worst, since.

Astroturfed,

The $80 pricetage made me not even consider it. Especially when you know they’re going to milk as much cash out of you as they can for expansions/DLC or anything else.

CancerMancer, w September 2023 | Humble Choice: Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Chaotic Great Edition, Deceive Inc, The Forgotten City and more

How is Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands? I liked the first two Borderlands games but I lost interest after that.

3migo,
@3migo@lemmy.world avatar

TTW is amazing. I am a big fan of the borderlands series but found 3 to be a bit disappointing, but I had a blast with TTW.

CancerMancer,

Ok that’s what I was hoping to hear, I also found Borderlands 3 was missing the magic. Thanks!

JackDark, (edited )

To offer a different opinion, I didn’t like Wonderlands. B1 and B2 were fantastic, but nothing else has come close IMO.

On a different note, The Forgotten City is AMAZING if you’re into time loop or puzzle games.

Schadrach,

To offer a different opinion, I didn’t like Wonderlands. B1 and B2 were fantastic, but nothing else has come close IMO.

The best answer I could give to that is if you liked the Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep DLC for BL2, you’ll probably like Wonderlands. If not, you won’t. It’s basically the same concept fleshed out and expanded into an entire game.

On a different note, The Forgotten City is AMAZING if you’re into time loop or puzzle games.

YES. The Forgotten City is fantastic, a dramatic improvement upon the Skyrim mod it started life as.

JackDark,

I loved TTAODK, but didn’t like Wonderlands. Different strokes. 🤷‍♂️

ReadyUser31,

If you like Borderlands you should play it. It’s got more charm than 3, and the engine is about as good.

So overall I still think 2 is the best game, but TTW is definitely worth playing.

bionicjoey,

BL2 is one of my all time top games.

I hated BL3 and TPS.

Tiny Tina’s is good.

So is The Telltale game incase you somehow missed it.

Waker, w Diablo 4 GM confirms “annual expansions” for the game

Honestly, having know this I wouldn’t have bought D4 in the first place.

It was expensive as fuck for a game that I played a week at most, and got boring. Not saying the game isn’t great on some aspects. The story and graphics are amazing but… other than that it’s not that interesting late game.

Spending 60€+ on a game that has battle passes and an ingame shop on top of it, for them to add one expansion a year after, yearly? Wtf

It’s true what they say. Blizzard has gotten greed af.

This has probably been the last game I will ever buy from them. There are already Diablo 4 private servers, I think I’ll just wait until those catch up with those expansions…

(reposting from the D4 community since this community is larger and likely will have more discussion here)

pulaskiwasright,

To me, the late game is boring because it’s not as tactical as previous Diablo games. The view is so zoomed in and the enemies are so fast, numerous, and squishy that you basically just have to chew though the closest enemies. It’s not tactical or challenging. It’s either too easy or too hard and your skill doesn’t matter at all. I beat it once and don’t feel the urge to play it again.

Waker, (edited )

I never thought about the camera but that could be one of the things that bothers me, now that I think about it…

I thought that with season 1 I’d be more hyped to play it, but it seemed so shite I couldn’t bring myself to playing it… And now, knowing that there’ll be expansions yearly, I don’t think I’ll ever bother lol.

pulaskiwasright,

That was my experience too. I tried to play seasonal content and quit after level 5.

GBU_28,

Why’d you buy it so quick? It’s not a ride the wave game where you need full lobbies, it’s an arpg that should be durable and accessable for years to come.

Waker,

You’re right. I didn’t even buy it pre order because I hate doing that and never will. So, after the game was launched, I watched some streams, the game seemed fun and no really big complaints anywhere. A couple of friends also bought the game, and told me it was fun.

And, to be honest, they weren’t wrong. The game WAS fun… Until you end the story and it’s just boring.

I played on both betas too and did enjoy the gameplay and such. Couldn’t wait for more of the story…

So that’s how I ended up buying it 1week or so after release.

Blizzard has gotten greed af

The Blizzard of old doesn’t exist anymore, it’s just a shell.

Waker,

Yep… I just loved Diablo too much but I guess this was the last time…

I am curious how this acquisition from Microsoft will go though. I don’t think it can get worse so maybe it’ll get slightly better.

I doubt consolidating games companies under a bigger monopoly will be a net positive in the long run.

verysoft, w Starfield gets low-spec PC mod for those gaming on potatoes

The fact you need a 4090 to touch 120fps on 1080p in 2023 is disgusting. That should be the minimum target fps for mid range hardware at the least.
Meh, game is bland anyway.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

PC bad. Game bad.

verysoft,

Not having a 4090 = pc bad.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

You don’t need a 4090.

verysoft,

Ok sure, 1080p low settings, I can get away with a 4080 if I have an i9 13900K. 1080p high? Yeah, not even a 4090 with a 13900K will get you near 120fps.

The game runs like shit.

PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

1440 at 144fps, max settings with nothing more than a 3080 12gb and i7 12700k.

verysoft, (edited )

You are upscaling, I am talking native resolution.

Madbrad200,

This is very deceptive if you’re using dlss or the amd equivalent.

Skipcast,

The game is cpu bound so having a 4090 won’t do you much good if your Cpu can’t keep up, which is the problem most people have

Madbrad200,

Even with a 7000x3d, GPU performance is pretty rough across the board youtu.be/vTNiZhEqaKk?t=2m46s

deadcream,

It's shitty code bound. Sometimes no matter how powerful your hardware is, software will perform poorly because it just doesn't scale. Writing complex software like game so that it can fully utilize current hardware AND actually run faster with better CPU/GPU can become very difficult once a certain complexity threshold is reached. It's easy enough to do for a small linear game even if it has exceptional graphics, but an open world sandbox game like ones that Bethesda makes is a completely different story.

That doesn't mean that it's impossible of course - Bethesda absolutely should have made a better job, but it's by no means an easy task.

salton,

I was able to get a consistent 70+ fps with most things set to medium, 1440p with a 3900x and a rtx 2080 with dlss2 and a mod that helps performance without any noticable dregredarion I can tell.

mercury,

Games don’t feel like they’ve advanced very far in graphics since the witcher came out, I should still get 144fps on my 1080ti, if I’m honest.

PeterPoopshit, (edited )

But then people wouldn’t buy $1000 graphics cards all the time which isn’t very cash money for the industry

ArrogantAnalyst, w Space Marine 2 Developer Used the Best Warhammer 40,000 Fan Film Ever as a Reference Point

Astartes. I’m not a warhammer person at all but I’ve seen this short film about 5 times now. Just from an artistic standpoint it is super impressive. Highly recommended.

BobKerman3999, w Space Marine 2 Developer Used the Best Warhammer 40,000 Fan Film Ever as a Reference Point

It is always strange to me that people working on something know less than fans…

Kamikazimatt,

Sometimes it’s nice to validate the idea you have to see if there’s anything you need to change
