BlackEco, w Spider-Man 2's Ray Tracing Feature Always On
@BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com avatar

Somehow I was convinced that Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart was Insomniac’s first always-on ray-tracing game and that non-raytraced graphics had been added to the PC port but I was completely wrong.

Starfield has been out for long enough now that anyone interested in playing it likely already has.

Not even close, especially not in the year that also brought us Baldur’s Gate and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. How much free time does this writer think everyone has?

explodicle,

It’s a Bethesda game. In a year most of the bugs will be fixed by the Unofficial Starfield Special Edition Patch, and it’ll be on sale.

Cethin,

They were actually fairly accurate that it’s their least buggy title yet. That’s not to say there are none, but they are few and far between. The game just isn’t that fun for now. Animations take too long (currently already mods to fix most of them), traveling is boring, outposts suck, and just so much QoL changes are needed. Bug fixing isn’t really required from my experience. Plenty of other fixes are though.

Feathercrown,

As much as they do, probably

Aganim, (edited )

Yup, definitely interested in Starfield. But at the moment still enjoying Act I of BG3, Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.0 and DLC are right around the corner and after I’ve finished those Cityies: Skylines 2 will be available. So I’ll probably have time for Starfield somewhere early 2024, depending on if my recurring Satisfactory itch hits before that. But by that time more official and unofficial bugfixes and QoL mods will be available, so I’m fine with waiting a bit longer to play. This year is just filled with too many goodies. 😁

Cethin,

I’ve played Starfield (did not purchase it on Steam…) and it’s alright. I haven’t finished it, and I won’t be for a while. It’s is missing so much QoL and so many thing will need the mod toolkit for modders to fix, which isn’t available yet. It should not be purchased by anyone at the moment. You’ll have a better time in several months, and it’ll quite possibly be cheaper.

There’s so much else to play. I’m wanting to get around to Armored Core 6 sometime, but Payday 3 is coming out, and Cities Skylines 2 and Counter Strike 2 (both CS2, and cities dropped it’s ‘:’ to add to the confusion) are coming soon. I may hop back into Cyberpunk if I get around to it, but it’s on the lower end of the list. There’s literally no reason for anyone to bother purchasing Starfield for a bit.

TheDarkKnight,

Yeah this one is most definitely back burnered cause it didn’t launch with DLSS and Bethesda always has a million bugs. I’ll wait for the mods to fix everything and play the polished games first.

ZOSTED,

I haven’t even got around to Sea of Stars, for pity’s sake

hitmyspot,

Why buy then? Wait for a sale and buy then.

I had a feeling something like this was gonna come. It’s an age old trick.

Do something that makes people mad and gets attention.

Let it stew for a few days while you’re “considering” things.

Come out and say you made a mistake and the initial plan was misguided, present the thing you were actually planning to do instead.

Brag about how much you “care about feedback” while still doing what you want

Chariotwheel,

It doesn't work the same here as with B2C products. Excluding hobby developers who wouldn't been hit either way. most people paying for Unity are trying to make a living and a company eradically throwing the pricing model around is not a good look when there are altrnatives around.

People can and will go to alternatives for new projects. Unreal, if you want a marketplace and impressive 3D and Godot if you want FOSS. Not to mention the otber game engines.

It's about money here, in some cades not little amount of money.

They kept nerfing the fun out of it

Swim,

correction, they were feeding us medicine but forgot the sugar.

Cheers,

That implies they’re doing something good for us. This is like giving your friend a box of smokes and then offering them chewing gum to hit the nicotine fix. It didn’t help, but I guess I have some gum now.

Swim,

this is litetally the analogy blizzard used.

Xanvial,

Last few updates there’s only buff I think. Seems the nerf patch only happened before season 1

Lord_Logjam, w A quarter of Starfield players couldn’t even be bothered to finish the first mission

I would have liked to have finished the first mission but the game crashes after roughly 5 minutes every time I try to play. Sort it out Bethesda.

They better be referring to the release of BG3, because if they’re talking about D4…

Klystron, (edited )

Successful in terms of cash, which I’d imagine is the most common metric people look for. Now whether gamers will look back on bg3 or d4 more fondly? You decide!!

This game is the worst money I ever spent. It is what truly made me learn the hard way about buying on launch day

Swim,

kinda bummed i bought so many skins, really hope they turn the ship around

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

If you buy more it’ll be more fun

  • Blizzard
Swim,

i tried that, it didnt work.😭

SatansMaggotyCumFart,

That’s because you haven’t bought enough

  • Blizzard
sTeco,

You are the reason blizzard gets away with releasing uninished games, whose only purpose is to maximizes sales beyond the base game

JokeDeity,

You understand people like you are DIRECTLY the cause of games these days sucking ass right? You guys buy games before they’re out and then buy up all their microtransaction bullshit, so why would they ever worry about improving or trying any harder when they know they have guaranteed money in the bank? Until people like you quit throwing money at this stuff, it’s only going to continue to decline.

Swim,

i am the cause of your unhappiness and i will continue to microtransact. blizzard only got a small fraction of what i spend on games. get a job pleb

JokeDeity,

I didn’t say I personally was being hurt by you, I said you are being hurt by you, I’m not affected by this directly. I don’t buy games until they’ve been out for a year at least and I don’t buy microtransactions regardless of the amount of money in my account, on principle. So you’re only serving to destroy your own future gaming. Also, I’ve never seen someone tell someone else to get a job that wasn’t secretly just living off their parents. Have a good one.

Swim, (edited )

i appreciate your concern for my wellbeing but its misplaced.i also havent seen someone care so much about how others spend their money.

JokeDeity,

That’s just how my brain works, given any topic I’m going to suggest to you a way to save money on it.

Swim,

unsolicited advice due to personal issues, got it.

JokeDeity,

Not disagreeing there. It’s problematic at times.

tuxed,

If you don’t mind, could you explain why one would want to buy these kinds of microtransactions, especially if you don’t even enjoy the game? I just cant understand it, but obviously people enjoy it or the business model wouldn’t work.

No judgement here, just genuinely curious.

Swim,

i like the game? its just lackimg content at the moment

Sinnz,

At least the main story questline was good

weedwhacking,

Except it really wasn’t :( I couldn’t even get past the first act I was so bored. Diablo 3 had one of the most compelling stories I had high hopes for

ramblinguy,

I was with you until you said diablo 3 had one of the most compelling stories. I don’t think diablo games in general are good at storytelling. But I do agree with you that the d4 story kinda sucked

sturmblast,

I made the same mistake having false confidence in Diablo yet again I haven’t played it since the first week

"Trust" won't matter if they just continue writing new games in it.

Hardeehar,

Who would want to write new games for a company that can just screw you later?

Not just “can” but, from statements from the CEO, still plan to… just a little later.

@elouboub@kbin.social avatar

Probably enough people to keep Unity afloat. Let's be honest, who's going to reskill their gamedevs to learn Godot or some other game engine? Decision makers will probably spend more money on trying to find ways around the problem than actually solving it aka using another game engine.
It's what they do.

doleo, w A quarter of Starfield players couldn’t even be bothered to finish the first mission

For what it’s worth, I am one of these people. I’d already watched a couple of streamers play random sidequests, but when I saw the early game I just couldn’t stomach playing any further.

I bet if Bethesda had never bought iD they would still be doing this.
