Jumi, w [Skill Up] I do not recommend: Assassin's Creed Mirage

Even if it would be the best AC of all times I wouldn’t get it because I really dislike the protagonist.

mindbleach, w How does the upcoming Playdate game "Diora" accomplish its beautiful, high-performance 3D visuals?

Jitter when the camera slides left and right means he should keep it in one spot and offset the screen. I.e., don’t move the camera - move the graphics. Have some X/Y value that gets added to all block positions, that frame. Then any visible gaps between tiles would at least stay put.

The artistic solution to those gaps is to make hidden faces the same color as the top face. Anywhere a cube touches a cube, the sides that meet should not be shaded.

The artistic non-solution is to give each top face an outline so that all looks like a deliberate grid. Like the surface is tiled the way a kitchen is tiled.

An artistic abuse is that blocks could be oriented freely. Any 1x1 pillar of cubes can be stacked funny. Especially if the engine makes non-grid-aligned tiles cheap. Then you could do a ziggurat where every level spirals upward. Admittedly, that would make collision a pain. Even player movement seems to be gridded.

I just instantly thought of that blind kid that beat Ocarina of Time.

Thranduil,

He use emulator and save states tho very impressive ofc. But I prefer blind warrior sven he plays street fighter competitivly while blind

manapropos, w [Skill Up] I do not recommend: Assassin's Creed Mirage

The last good AC game I can think of was Brotherhood so this review isn’t exactly a surprise

vaultdweller013,

Eh, black flag and rogue were pretty fun.

Globulart,

As was origins honestly. Brotherhood is definitely my favourite and the later games feel more generic than true AC games, but they’re still good fun.

vaultdweller013,

Id even say that unity despite the bad press and how buggy it was is still in the overall good category.

Khrux,

Unity spent a long time being unplayable in an are where that was unforgivable than it is now. I picked it up just before the big patch where they also threw in the first DLC for free as an apology and I ran pretty well on my device, but nobody cared because nobody was playing it.

I feel it also had a pretty lackluster story, I opened strongly but generally but then just became blander as it progressed. I really wanted to like the characters, but they never landed for me.

The last game that I feel had a great plot was black flag, largely because everything since origins has been enormous in scope in a way that’s just directly detrimental to a linear cutscene style story. Also as historical RPGs they’re good but Assassin’s Creed has something really special that has been forgotten, and I was hoping this game would reignite it, but it seems not.

vaultdweller013,

Fair enough, though I do think the overall gameplay of unity was pretty fucken good.

Khrux,

I used to boot it up and just play through that one repeatable painting heist that was optionally 4 player, although I’d do it by myself.

dwokimmortalus,

Origins grew on me as it’s own game, but I hated it as an assassins creed game.

I personally found the next two extremely boring, but I can still replay origin and enjoy it.

manapropos,

I really enjoyed the naval combat of black flag but it takes like 5 hours to get good. And the modern day parts of the game are even more of a slog

When games like starfield exist I beg to differ

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.

yesdogishere, w Unity Fallout Continues: Dev Group Shuts Down While Developers Refuse To Come Back

Sooner Unity dies the better. Same with Unreal engine. Tired of crappy programming codes. We need to start fresh. Back to machine language !!!

jormaig,

What’s wrong with Unreal? IMO it’s quite an amazing engine.

Alk,

You see, what they are trying to say is that the 1’s and 0’s are nice and crispety crunchety but unreal engine is soft and mushy.

Crispety Crunchety sounds so much nicer than soft and mushy! Back to machine language it is!

AlligatorBlizzard,

Okay Chris Sawyer.

SuddenlyBlowGreen,

Wow, you wrote a game engine in machibe language?

Can we see it?

CancerMancer,

That’s an interesting way of saying you’ve never delivered a commercial product.

praise_idleness, w The modder behind Burps of Skyrim and Snores of Skyrim has made a breakthrough in the field of customizable flatulence with Farts of Skyrim

This is big if true

someguy7734206, w The modder behind Burps of Skyrim and Snores of Skyrim has made a breakthrough in the field of customizable flatulence with Farts of Skyrim

This is exactly the sort of headline I hoped to read in a gaming community.

Monomate, w Unity Fallout Continues: Dev Group Shuts Down While Developers Refuse To Come Back

This article only mentions old quotes from develpers. Nothing new to see here…

NanoooK,

It’s from after the updated price structure, it’s not that old.

Monomate,

The price structure update is old news by now as well.

KairuByte, 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.
@KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I… but… that… that isn’t how this works…

You’re putting the cat outside after it already ate the canary.

epicsninja, 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.

Well, they’ve accidentally made a really easy workaround, then. Just download the day one depot and you can play without Denuvo.

FoundTheVegan,
@FoundTheVegan@kbin.social avatar

True, but will also prevent you from getting any other updates or bug fixes. This is such a scummy action for Ubi to do, I wouldn't it put it past em to pair this with some sort of game bricking.... "glitch" that needs a patch.

Pieisawesome,

They did exactly that In another assassins creed game

XTornado, w The modder behind Burps of Skyrim and Snores of Skyrim has made a breakthrough in the field of customizable flatulence with Farts of Skyrim

I cannot wait for Starfield editions.

gila, 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.

Wait, but they already launched it without Denuvo. So pirates can easily crack the launch version without it, and only paying customers need to deal with the antipiracy bullshit? Nice, they took a pro-piracy hyperbole and made it actually real.

julianh,

I’m thinking this too… like what’s even the point of using denuvo if it’s not applied day one? The whole point is to delay piracy so they sell more copies during launch week (in theory), so waiting until after day one completely ruins that since you can just pirate the easily cracked launch version.

kautau,

The point is that they purposefully left (or created) bugs in the day one version that are fixed in this patch after you install denuvo

It’s not the first time they’ve done something like that, they broke another assassins creed game and leaked it to get people to buy the real copy, this is no different

gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/…/43146901

Derproid,

Doesn’t this make it easier to crack the denuvo as well though? Since now you have a list of changes to look at for where denuvo is implemented.

redcalcium,

It’s not a day one patch, but day-1 patch. The game will be released a few hours from now.

Hotzilla,

If non DRM version is given to reviewers, it will leak to crackers, unless you control 100% of reviewers you give a copy. This does not make any sense.

circuitfarmer,
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

That’s the thing: paying consumers always pay the price for DRM by having to jump through any hoops.

Whirlybird,

There are no “hoops” here though?

Veraxus,
@Veraxus@kbin.social avatar

DRM ONLY ever affects paying customers, ergo DRM is always unethical malware.

Also, let’s never forget how Ghostwire Tokyo had Denuvo patched IN over a year after release.

gila,

Eh, I only meant hyperbole in terms of antipiracy affecting the pirates that had to figure out how to crack it. As a broad gesture at the fact piracy (consumption) depends on piracy (effort) to work

ColeSloth,

Reviewers get games prior to release day. So it may not be so likely that you can get a working game without the day 1 patch.

Whirlybird,

Sounds like they added it after the review embargo ended but before the game releases to the public.

Honytawk,

So time for those reviewers to send their version.

Whirlybird,

😂 yeah if they want to get blacklisted and sued.

wildginger,

Unless each review copy is internally flagged, I wouldnt expect anyone to own up to leaking the copy to even risk being sued.

gila,

You’re right, according to Ubi the update on PC was ‘included in the 41.6 GB game files ahead of Oct 5’. It was a prerelease patch, not day 1.

Nice of Epic to start directly exploiting the lack of PC physical media around the same time people are talking about getting rid of disc drives on consoles.

Whirlybird,

Epic? This is Ubisoft.

gila,

I think the primary method of PC sales for this game is on the Epic Game Store. Yeah I neglected to consider it’s also available from Ubisoft+ or whatever but also does anyone actually use that

Epic Game Store also doesn’t have any preloading, meaning they had all the opportunity to deploy Denuvo pre-launch but post-embargo without having preloads as a loose end.

Veraxus,
@Veraxus@kbin.social avatar

What does Epic have to do with this?

alldreadme,
@alldreadme@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, but pirates won’t be able to get the newer updates/bugfixes

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

Urban Dead was fun back when I played it. Used to be on the forums a lot and organize curing centres or safe zones.

Dominate Game. Great online risk game with elo system. You could play the default maps in the browser but thier client let you play tons of customer player made maps. Sadly this one got taken down a long time ago, is has a spiritual successor as Dominate 12.

Supremacy 1914. Only played 2 matches of this game, but do to its nature it was over the course of 6 months or so. I believe they have a download client now and the game is also on Steam now.

mindbleach,

Barhah!
