ampersandrew, w Wargroove 2 Review - IGN
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

I loved that first Wargroove, and I held off on playing it for so long because I thought the changes they made to commanders wouldn't be to my liking. It turns out I actually prefer this to Advance Wars, as it solves a lot of problems with pacing and balance that Advance Wars had. It also had absolutely none of the bullshit that Advance Wars and (at least the old) Fire Emblem games had in their later missions where they'd just spawn new units out of nowhere and wipe out your forces with no ability for you to know it was coming without reloading the save. So imagine my surprise when I went back to read reviews, and they criticized Wargroove 1 for both of those things. I can only sit here scratching my head, wondering if the game I played was very different after patches than what people played at launch, because those were egregious issues in Advance Wars 20 years earlier as well.

Fogle, w Capcom President Thinks Game Prices Are 'Too Low' - IGN

Baldur’s Gate 3 made 350 million dollars within a month after launch.

Good games make their money back without question. Game prices are actually too expensive.

I’m fine with that. I like interesting stories in my vidja games. Also, my wife will hang out with me more if the stories are compelling.

Oh, I’m looking forward to finally getting to play the DLC! I have the game on PS4, not never bothered to get a 5 because I switched to PC gaming before they were easily available where I live, and now I don’t want one any more.

I’ll wait until it goes on sale, though, since I already paid full price once.

Damn they got away with it huh. Not surprising, they always do.

EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted, w Oldest Unity game developer group breaks up over lack of trust in the company

Companies need to learn that you can rollback policies, but you cannot rollback loss of goodwill.

Too bad modern capitalism is all about short-term profit over long-term anything. Who cares if you burn down the forest as long as you can walk away with the wood, right?

So true!

Karak,

Was there even any short-term gain this time? Next company to try this will probably give much less notice if legally allowed.

When I had my rig I got a boxing game and it fucking zoomed in and put totally unexpectedly and nearly made me lose my shit. I could only do an hour before my eyes would start to feel like they were going to melt.

So this is how it feels

Positive to come from this might be companies going with their own internal engine if they have the resources to do so.

I'm still holding our hope they just patch in a shared inventory system slike to the one in wrath of the righteous (or we get a mod for it). Inventory managment has always been a huge chore in DOS1 and 2 and something that would actively hamper my enjoyment of these games.

I really love vr but I can’t play it due to the motion sickness. I’ve tried forcing through it but it never got better.

It's not something you can force yourself through, unfortunately. The only way to get over VR motion sickness is to work up to it.

If you get motion sick after 5 minutes, spend 4 minutes every day doing basic things. After a couple weeks, you'll very likely be able to go about 10-15 minutes. So then spend 10 minutes every day.

The moment you get any sort of motion sickness, stop immediately. Nothing you can do will alleviate it and playing more isn't an option that day.

I do think most people are able to work up to and work through it, but most just try to brute force their way or expect that they'll immediately be able to do everything. VR is analogous to a craft, both vehicle and hobby. While you can just get right into a car or roller coaster and send it, chances are your body needs to adjust and learn a few things about it. And while you can just pick up painting right away, chances are you'll need to practice to learn techniques.

VR is very much a mix of both. Many people definitely can just get right on and pick it up pretty quickly, but that doesn't mean there isn't some amount of necessary adjustments.

Fiivemacs, w Oldest Unity game developer group breaks up over lack of trust in the company

Why wiuld any companies trust them at this point…bail, let unity die and set a precedent to other engines to not fuck with the companies that make the products.

I just wish collectively humanity could do the same for these multi billionaire companies who will kill you to make 10 cents profit.

@canis_majoris@lemmy.ca avatar

This is the second article today where I saw Todd Howard talking about severely nerfing aspects of the game. Earlier this morning I read an article saying similar things about the space suit system - initially they were going to be a lot more punitive on what you can and can’t wear based on environmental conditions, so you’d need a suit for cold, a suit for toxicity, a suit for radiation, etc.

ImplyingImplications,

Turns out people wanted a fun game not a real life simulator!

Also read about the spacesuit thing just today. The planet thing at least would’ve made more sense to all the spacesuit bits. It’s pointless and a bit confusing now, I just ignore it and repair whatever damage I receive which the spacesuit article made it sound like that is intended. The little hazard UI thing is so bad, and why doesn’t the aid section use the same icons as the status section. Hate having to dig around to find the right treatment in my inventory (slowly just grabbing snake oil whenever i find it)

Ah well still enjoying it at around 100 hours played, but you can see where they’ve had to cut back on systems all over the place.

canis_majoris,
@canis_majoris@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah the hazard warnings are pretty useless now, because they’re not actually that dangerous or meaningful. I didn’t even know that it caused damage, I guess I haven’t been on a severe enough planet.

The annoying one is Frostbite, especially on some story missions where you keep getting it while the characters blab on and on. Other than that i’ve either run thru a steam vent, broken my lags boosting wrong, or sometimes sandstorm lung damage.

jim, w VR still makes 40-70% of players want to throw up, and that's a huge problem for the companies behind it

The can’t narrow the stat… 40-70%… I call BS. Clearly a clickbait article

AmidFuror,

The biggest sin was not citing the study. It appears to come from an interview with a professor, and the range is based on variation across applications.
