NuPNuA, w Starfield hasn’t hurt No Man’s Sky’s popularity – it may have even helped it

Why do we need to keep pitting these games against each other, aside from being set in space they’re not even remotely similar gameplay wise. One is a survival game framework, the other is a RPG/Lifesim. There’s plenty of room for both in the market.

Super Mario World is waaaay better than your Genesis’ Sonic, loser! My console supports the gnarly SuperFX chip! What about yours?

NuPNuA,

Nah, SNES doesn’t have “BLAST PROCESSING”, Mega Drive ftw.

zib, w Unity bosses sold stock days before development fees announcement, raising eyebrows
@zib@kbin.social avatar

As much as I can't stand John Riccitiello, anyone with RSUs will have vested stocks sold on a fixed schedule to cover taxes. They don't get to choose when or how much is sold as long as they have their RSUs configured as sell to cover. The executives are no different in this regard, except they have a great deal more stocks than the average employee. However, this doesn't absolve them of the awful new pricing structure. That shit should have been walked back before it ever left the planning stages.

So nobody would ever time such an announcement after such a divestiture.

@zib@kbin.social avatar

Don't get me wrong, the timing was fucking abysmal. They really should have thought about that ahead of time, but these executives rarely think about anything other than how to line their own pockets.

@HeartyBeast@kbin.social avatar

So your saying they didn’t time the share sales with respect to the announcement- they timed the announcement with respect to the fixed share sales date.

zib,
@zib@kbin.social avatar

I'm saying they didn't think about it at all because it's easier to blame users for misunderstanding than take responsibility for anything themselves.

Whirlybird,

If you’re selling shares monthly it doesn’t matter when the announcement is, you’re going to have people questioning your sell anyway. They would not have thought about the timing in relation to automated share sells at all because it’s a non issue.

cobysev, w What games had easy soft locks that prevented you from either progressing or getting a true ending?
@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

Undertale is an indie game that promotes and encourages kindness toward others. You can play the game however you want, and there are a multitude of endings depending on how nice/mean you are in your playthrough.

But if you’re not 100% kind to everyone you meet; if you take even one unkind action toward someone, you’re locked out of the perfect good ending. And it remembers your playthrough, so you can’t ever earn it by replaying the game. I dunno if that’s been patched; I haven’t played it since about 2015, but that was the rule when I started it.

And there was no indication starting out that you had this choice. Most people default to fighting bad guys in games. There wasn’t even a hint that you could play the game as a passive, kind person and never harm anyone, despite their aggressive and harmful actions toward you.

So most gamers got locked out of that perfect good ending. Which I guess is kind of the message of the game. Every small act, whether good or bad, can affect people around you permanently. But it’s still annoying as a completionist, knowing that I could never perfectly complete a game because of a rule I wasn’t informed of when I started.

bentsea,

The game remembered a lot of things but you very much could do a pacifist run by starting a new game. I read about the pacifist run after about an hour into the game, decided I wanted to try it, and restarted and was able to achieve the best ending.

ditherwither, (edited )

Yeah, you’re only locked out of pacifist if you previously did a genocide run

Edit: looking at the wiki, this isn’t true, there are minor differences in the soulless pacifist run tho

The problem is by-and-large people don’t care. As hobbyists some of us might, most of us say we do, but the profit and cash flow says otherwise.

ChrisLicht, w Starfield Is Seemingly Missing Entire Stars (the local 'sun') When Running On AMD Radeon GPUs

So fitting that this is posted in this Lemmy instance.

Watch it be added for the low low price of 510 Dying Light coins! (You can only buy 500 or 1200)

Bethesda ruined Starfield for me.

GBU_28, w Trouble running Starfield? Todd Howard says 'Upgrade your PC'

Y’all are surprised the boss of a AAA studio suggested you buy hardware from companies he has a deeply vested interest in?

It’s all one big circle jerk of companies and anyone buying “cutting edge” gets what they deserve.

You’re the product in more ways than one

Zeppo,
@Zeppo@sh.itjust.works avatar

You’re literally the consumer in this instance. The game is the product. The computer is the product.

Neato, (edited ) w Trouble running Starfield? Todd Howard says 'Upgrade your PC'
@Neato@kbin.social avatar

Its on Game Pass, Todd. If it doesn't run well I'll just not play Skyrim-Space Edition.

My partner who is interested has a PS5 and an older PC. If her PC doesn't run it, she'll probably just keep playing Stardew Valley. Honestly it's not like anyone is going to really be talking about Starfield in a month or two except ridiculous ship builds on social media.

nivenkos,

I bought a new PC just to play Starfield (and BG3 with less issues).

It looks alright overall. But it’s pretty crazy that even 30xx cards can’t run it well (I had a 1070 though).

circuitfarmer,
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I did a CPU/mobo/RAM upgrade for it – but I was quite overdue.

It looks alright overall.

That’s the thing. It looks alright, but it’s not the next-gen beauty fest that they want people to think it is. Plenty look better and run better. I enjoy the game, but the whole argument that it’s a graphical standout doesn’t really hold water.

I read this Todd like John Conner says it in T2. “She’s not my mother, Todd.”

Pratai, w Starfield’s Xbox exclusivity ‘yielded a better product’, Todd Howard says

No, it didn’t.

BakedGoods, w PlayStation Plus Monthly Cost Soars by 600% in Turkey, Sparking Outrage

    Found the nazi.

    BakedGoods,

    What part of my post makes you think I’d be a nazi?

    smeg,

    Probably the racism

    echodot,

    I don’t think a Turkish is a race. It’s more comment on international relations.

    Also given the reason fact that Turkey tried to block NATO Sweden’s membership, I’m not particularly fond of them either right now.

    smeg,

    There’s a colossal difference between disliking the actions of a country’s politicians and describing a people as a “garbage culture with no morals”. And while “race” is a kind of wishy-washy term with no real definition, I think plenty of ethnic Turks would disagree.

    BakedGoods,

    Never did I once mention ethnicity.

    smeg,

    Xenophobia then. If your defence for bigotry is that it’s technically not racism, you’re still a bigot.

    randomperson,

    Most likely an Armenian or other nation oppressed or genocides by Turks.

    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.
