tdawg, w Dredge smashes internal expectations after topping 1 million sales

Lots of fun! Got a little repetitive after about tens hours. Don’t regret the purchase

emmie, w A heroic Starfield modder just straight-up deleted those repetitive temple 'puzzles' from the game

I like starfield overall but it definietly is a weaker game than skyrim

The1Morrigan,

FULLY agreed.

Removing content from the game you paid for, LMFAO

Cethin,

Emjoyment/hour should be the measure of a good game. This sort of a thing only works to increase time played, not time enjoyed. It’s only a negative.

@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

sure if wasting your money adds to your enjoyment go ahead, the rest of us gonna have a laugh though

what’s the criteria for that? no comment likes? lmao

Fraylor,

Idk, what’s the criteria for assuming everyone or even a group of people agrees with you?

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

You brought it up you tell me

Cethin,

What? Wasting money by not wasting my time on something not enjoyable?

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Wasting money by buying the not enjoyable thing, pay attention

Cethin,

First: I didn’t.

Second: Some people find the game enjoyable enough. Not every part will be though. If I turn off the startup logo shit, am I wasting my money? That’s part of the vanilla experience that I’m now missing, right? How is this different if not?

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Tfw you consider gameplay equal to company logo, lmfao go ahead bro it’s your money I’m just having a laugh

Cethin,

Tfw you consider that part gameplay.

I’ve got better stuff to do with my time then those temples and that more important than any “value” I lose not engaging in it. However, how is it valuable to do? If it isn’t enjoyable, it wastes time, and I don’t get anything for it, isn’t that the reverse of value? Isn’t the smart thing to do removing it? Wtf is wrong with you where you’d want to engage with something you don’t enjoy?

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Tfw I consider gameplay, gameplay. Well whatever helps you cope

Wtf is wrong with you where you’d want to engage with something you don’t enjoy?

The part where you dont want to engage with it and still paid for it 🤣

Cethin,

Dude, read. I didn’t pay for it. Damn, you’re annoying. I’m done. I’m not sure why I responded so many times when you’re clearly a troll, or at least as good as one.

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

Obviously Im referring to the game when I say paid, not the mod that would be even funnier, well if being intentionally obtuse helps u cope like when youre equating logo to gameplay, so be it

Cethin,

I didn’t pay for the game.

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

The majority did which is what my original comment was addressing, if you didn’t I was obviously not referring to you

Aermis,

So you clearly didn’t buy the game or play it. Why are you even here?

synceDD,
@synceDD@lemmy.world avatar

If assumptions make you feel better for removing stuff you paid for, go ahead as well

Yay! Love Steam Next Fest. Just need to find some time to try the demos.

youhavechosenwisely, w Video game makers aren’t catering for gamers with disabilities, study finds

I just want removal of anticheat for single player games/coop (or a toggle option like master chief collection). Trainers are so helpful for younger children and the disabled to enjoy the game with a bit of a skill level adjustment. Subtitles are a must too.

The tragic story of a game that was infected with Denuvo after release day.

mindbleach, w Atari 2600+ interview: New games and lessons learned from the VCS

It’s not often that any video game company gets to turn 50

In no sense is this company 50 years old. Atari was cleaved in half by Warner 40 years ago. One half was purchased and used for branding, right before the new parent company also went out of business… five separate times. The other half did quite well in arcades until those stopped existing. The absolute latest you could say “Atari” lasted was 2003, when Midway Games West ceased operations.

Even the modern company calling itself Atari, formerly Infogrames, has been in and out of bankruptcy, and no longer owns most of the IPs either brand was known for. This company is that shambling wreck.

This brand is such an L factory that their bold new direction is re-releasing the machine that came in third place behind the NES, basically unmodified, and pretending it’s downright archaic 1970s hardware that was brought low by the technical demands of Pac-Man.

And it’s honestly a good idea.

I’m excited to see how it goes. More companies should do it. But acting like this is a victory lap for a titan of industry is a punchline in itself.

MomoTimeToDie,

It’s even funnier when you realize that arguably their biggest competitors back in the day, Nintendo and Sega, both have far better claims to being 50+ years old, with both having continuous operations since. Bonus points to Nintendo for being over 100 years old.

XbSuper, w ChatGPT was used to write Gollum game apology, it’s claimed

Why is anyone even still talking about this game?

Son_of_dad,

I just saw it on the PlayStation store on sale for like $50. May as well just give it away at this point and I still won’t play it, it’s silly they’re charging that much for it still, especially since the devs shut down

A German Youtube channel named Game Two, did a documentation about what went wrong and released it this weekend. Like the Developers they are based in Hamburg and did many interviews with former employees. It’s linked in the article but unfortunately only available in German.

tuckerm, w EA Games will Shut these Online Servers Down in 2023

Not sure what Half Life 2 is doing on there, pretty sure Valve is fully in control of that one on PC at least. Didn't EA publish the PS3 version of the Orange Box? I'm guessing that's for a console port.

Also, Biomutant? That only just came out like two years ago. Not sure what the online features are for that game though, I thought it was singleplayer.

This is all just another reason why I don't buy games where online multiplayer is the main selling point of the game. I might not even get around to playing it much before that feature is removed.

Old PC games with dedicated servers are still (and always will be) playable online, while games from a couple years ago have their centrally-managed servers taken offline. People are still playing Doom, Quake, and Unreal Tournament while games from this console generation are already unplayable.

It is singleplayer, but it does have leaderboards.

I loved Biomutant. I wish you as much joy as it brought me. :)

I wouldn't be as mad if they'd leave private servers alone

tmcgh,

I’m going to miss 1943, I played that and BC2 a lot back in the day. Not as much anymore but when I want a fps, that’s what I play.

@chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world avatar

Next fest is awesome. I wish we still had demo CDs, but this is a close second.

HidingCat,

Demo CDs are just a delivery mechanism, and I consider this way better.

Now the practice of giving a demo for a game, that does need to return.

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

This is one of the benefits of PS+; you can demo almost anything since it just gives you 2 hours with the full game.

Steam (and other PC fronts/games) could do this. But it would also make it quite easy to pirate those, which is probably why they don’t.

Selmafudd,

Steam used to give a free auto refund with less than 2 hours of play time, donno if they still do.

Now I just pirate a game to check it out and if I’m still playing it when the next update comes out then I buy it

charles,

They do except there’s the additional condition of 2 weeks since purchase date. So as long as you’ve played less than 2 hours and purchased within 2 weeks, you’ll get an automatic refund (unless you abuse the system, but I’ve returned many games over the years and never had issues).

HidingCat,

I've had a game refunded at 3 weeks even, but it was under 1 hour of play time.

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

I’ve only taken advantage of this once. When I had VR, I got some utility program because it advertised being able to do something I was trying to do (I don’t remember what exactly), but it didn’t actually do that thing. I requested a refund after like 20 minutes of using it and it was pretty much instantly refunded.

Damn good policy, as long as you check out what you buy pretty quick to make sure it’s what you want, IMO.
