MomoTimeToDie, w Australia sets new classification standards for video games with gambling and loot boxes

    I assume simulated gambling like in FF7 would be part of it. Anything that uses slot interface to grant a reward but doesn’t have any tie to currency might be fine.

    PenguinJuice,

    If it's with real money it's gambling. I'm perfectly okay with it.

    You’re right.

    Saledovil,

    As much as the ESRB fucking sucks ass and can go burn, at least it isn’t a government agency and has to at least play nice enough with the industry and consumers in general.

    I don’t think any industry can really be trusted to self-regulate in the long term.

    Tetsuo, w Cyberpunk 2077's Ukrainian localisation takes the piss out of Russia's war

    Well I can’t read that article without accepting cookies.

    Too bad ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    SolOrion,

    It’s a couple dialogue lines-

    one of Cyberpunk 2077’s Ukrainian dialogue line alters “We’re fucking through” to a Ukrainian phrase that roughly means “Go fuck yourself in the same direction as the ship did”.

    One line of police dialogue referring to the game’s Scavengers faction has been altered from the English “Couldn’t all these assholes bite it out in the Badlands?” to a Ukrainian phrase that translates as “Couldn’t all this rusnia bite it out in the Badlands?”

    Some of the phrasing in the inventory-

    There are also apparent references on inventory screens to Ukrainian state messaging during the war. “‘Є перевага’ literally means ‘there is an advantage’,” Tarasov told me. "A reference to the governmental digital initiatives’ branding during Zelensky’s tenure

    And some graffiti-

    There also appears to be brand new graffiti in the game that references Russia’s occupation of Crimea in 2014. “The graffiti represents the outlines of Crimea, the peninsula that was illegally annexed from Ukraine by russia in 2014,” Tarasov told me. “Juxtaposed are the Ukrainian coat of arms and taraq tamga (the symbol of Crimean Tatars).” The suggestion is that in Cyberpunk 2077’s world, Crimea is part of Ukraine.

    kae, w Steam SHMUP Fest, now through October 2nd

    I had no idea what SHMUP is… so if you’re like me they are SHoot eM Up games. Either bullet hell or isometric shooters.

    Abrslam,

    There’s a lot more to the genre, and the isometric shooters you’re talking about are technically not shmups, rather they’re twin stick shooters. A true Shmup is the bullet hells you mentioned, but bler hell is actually a subgenre, there are many types of shmups that control the same way a bullet hell does, but minus the hell of bullets. Check out Shmup Junkie on YouTube and join his discord to learn more than you ever imagined about this amazing genre!

    li10, w Capcom would "gracefully decline" an acquisition offer from Microsoft

    Don’t imagine Microsoft would have too much success trying to poach Japanese companies.

    They’re notoriously “Japan first” in everything they do, but enough money would probably change that.

    I understand the reflexive hate for tech executives, but you can do a lot worse than Phil Spencer.

    echo64,

    Oh, I don’t know about that. He’s got this fascade of I’m just like you, but then goes and acts exactly like every other Microsoft exec from the past 30 years. I know you’ll want to compare him to Don Mattrick to excuse that. Oh, he’s a good guy… in comparison. Nope.

    He is actively seeking to damage the industry as a whole to further his career ambitions inside Microsoft and to make Microsoft crazy money in 20 years. He’s a bully in the industry, and just like every other big tech disruption from the past decade and a half, from Uber to netflix, none of it is in favor of the consumer

    schmidtster,

    Currently? Not really, not one thing he has said has head of Xbox has turned out to be true.

    dan1101,

    He seems nice and is probably a gamer. But if Microsoft doesn’t profit enough on games I believe all the niceness will quickly disappear.

    Serdan, w Payday 3 players endure second consecutive day of server issues, preventing them from playing

    “endure” 🫡

    GentlemanLoser,

    Remember remember Payday 3 in September

    themusicman,

    Earth, wind and fire?

    GentlemanLoser,

    Haha, no but that tickles me

    Guy Fawkes (the guy the V for Vendetta mask represents) tried to blow up UK parliament in the 1600s. The Brits have a nursery rhyme for it:

    “Remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and plot; for there is a reason why gunpowder and treason should ne’er be forgot.”

    I was just being silly by implying that living thru Payday 3 server issues are on the same level and get their own version of the rhyme

    Serdan,

    You had me doubting my memory for a moment there. I used to know the movie version by heart, but it’s been a hot minute. 😄

    Maybe it’s time for a rewatch

    Haha, I can’t even read their bullshit excuse because I blocked unity.com and unity3d.com. On the off chance that I play something made in unity, I wanted make sure they can’t collect stats.

    The CEO is a shitlord and the board isn’t any better.
    I feel for the people doing the actual work on unity, may they find better jobs somewhere that is not such a dumpster fire.

  • mindbleach,

    I remain flabbergasted there’s no simpler way to get ten buttons of input and 240p of output on a generic 32-bit ARM device with a zillion official and unofficial add-ons. Especially when you look at the unholy chain of adapters necessary for input.

    Especially once you swap the console playing the game for an early-model Wii, which has been hacked to hell and back, and has Gamecube, Bluetooth, and technically USB inputs.

    It is nonetheless an absolute mountain of hardware to modernize a setup that could nearly fit in the pocket of period blue jeans.

    smeg,

    You could probably do it way more simply with emulation, but it seems the point of this technical exercise was to do it all with original hardware (which is pretty cool)

    Actually, the fact that it didn't have that is the sole reason I never bought it, so it brought it to life for me

    Mr_Buscemi,

    Same here. This news has me fucking excited to play it.

    Tried it on gamepass in the past but couldn’t stand the multiplayer component so I stopped playing.

    SidewaysHighways,

    Yeah, got me thinking that the fam and I could do this and have some fun

    @Squirrel@thelemmy.club avatar

    Same here. My wife and I considered it a while back, but we opted against it after seeing how pvp heavy it is.

    merc,

    Honestly, most of the time it’s not PvP heavy, instead it’s dead. I play with some cousins and we’ve had 3 hour sessions where we’ve only occasionally seen other people through the spyglass. When we do encounter other people about half the time they aren’t interested in PvP either.

    Having said that, unwelcome PvP at the wrong time can spoil a gaming session. Like, you can be attacked when you’re at the end of a long quest chain and lose hundreds of thousands worth of gold in treasure.

    Aww, you won’t be able to bully people who don’t feel like fighting back? You’re gonna be forced to play with other people that actually want to fight? I’m so sowwy 🥺

    Lmao get fucked

    CancerMancer,

    Please the game is already dead. Last time I hopped on (about a year ago?) I got into 3 back-to-back fights with unkillable ships and players due to cheats. Fuck that noise, PvE or nothing.

    flux, w CD Projekt recommends starting a new game when Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 drops: 'starting fresh will enhance your overall gameplay experience'
    @flux@lemmy.world avatar

    I’m actually a fan of the game because I can see the vision they had. I think people are more harsh because they see how great it, “could have been”. But to this day so many weird bugs, qc issues that are not even graphics related. Basic qc like overlapping dialogue, mission problems, things disappearing, etc. I’m rooting for the team to keep up improvements. But for them to tell me I’d have a better time starting over is a little annoying. If this is so much better what was I playing before ? Sure, more money, feedback and most of all time is going to make a better game.But they know there are things they could have done better if they are suggesting starting over.

    GunValkyrie,

    They are suggesting you start over so you can enjoy the rebalance of the game with the updates. They aren’t saying you have to, just that you’ll get the most out of it if you do.

    derin, w CD Projekt recommends starting a new game when Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 drops: 'starting fresh will enhance your overall gameplay experience'
    @derin@lemmy.beru.co avatar

    Nah - I think I’ll enjoy it on my old character, if that’s all right with them.

    Crazy to think I’d just spend another 100 hours redoing missions and revisiting old content for new progression systems.

    I’m happy the game is finally finished, but it’s kind of insulting to tell us to go back and “play it all again, it’s finally ready”.

    Rampsquatch,

    I fail to see the insult, it’s not like they’re going to call you names if you don’t do what they recommend.

    Cethin,

    I think you’re taking this wrong. They’re saying you can play it all again and the experience will be somewhat different with the new systems. They are saying you’re a loser if you don’t or whatever. Basically, they’re saying the update effects the existing game too, not just the DLC.

    nehal3m, (edited )

    Maybe it’s because they view playing the game differently than you do. Personally I see it as a game you can ‘run’, sort of like a rogue-like. There’s different ways to execute missions, a few different ways to interact and varied builds for a character. I’ve played the game twice now, once as a corpo gun slinger and once as a street kid hacker. For this update I’m doing a nomad ninja.
