atocci, w Zelda Producer Says There Will Be No DLC For Tears Of The Kingdom

Hopefully working on something for the Switch 2 now

TwilightVulpine,

Frankly I hope for a classic top down. TotK is great but I'm getting a bit of open world fatigue.

Gordon_Freeman, w Larian Studio CEO Swen Vincke pushes back on Baldur's Gate III setting a new standard for games
@Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social avatar

I thought the standards people were talking about were the exceptional treatment the players received (Larian provided a full game experience. This is no abusive DLC scheme, no predatory microtransactions and way more polished than the average AAA game experience)

It turns out all the fuss was about the game size?

I think it was about all of the above. The actual quote is about the game size, but not all the way. He says that smaller studios may not have the resources to do what they did by having a multi-year early access period. Remember, they have to pay people that whole time without getting much money from the product. Also, he points out that larger studios such as the one making Starfield should have the resources to do what they did and more.

The size of Baldur's Gate 3 isn't the standard I want it to set anyway. I just want RPGs to be that deep with that level of production value. I finished Act 1 in the time it took me to finish all of Mass Effect 1, and I can't believe I've still got two thirds of the game left. This game is the entire Mass Effect trilogy in one game, but Mass Effect didn't give me a ton of ideas for different ways to play the game I just finished. You can play a Shepard who kills more with powers than with guns or more with guns than with powers, but it's nothing like this.

Also, here's the other standard. The game has multiplayer, but it's not a horde mode. It's not a live service hero shooter. It's just co-op; the video game version of playing tabletop with your friends. It's got LAN mode and direct IP connection. It's available DRM-free. It supports controllers and mouse/keyboard really well. Other than that weird Larian launcher that you can disable easily enough, this game is doing everything I need it to do from a software perspective and to stand the test of time in a world where live services inevitably keep dying.

No DLC, but I'll bet there's a Tears of the Kingdom Deluxe for the Switch's successor that has some extra content in it to justify charging you full price again.

Well, TotK is a DLC of BotK sold as a full prized game they can repeat it again, they have to recycle the map again add a couple of mechanics and done, a brand new game for the switch 2

@Maximilious@kbin.social avatar

Have you even played the game dude? I've 100% BotW and the ground level TotK map is most definitely NOT the same, add in the underground and sky components and it's most definitely NOT DLC. Saying it's BotW DLC is a huge red flag you haven't given the game a fair shake.

Space Engineers has a planet, where you can burn fuel and fly for hours from Earth and land to. However, there is no story there. Choose the game that is more interesting to you.

@Ginkko117@kbin.social avatar

For some reason I had terrible FPS drops in the original Cyberpunk from time to time - had to reload the game every half an hour or hour to restore FPS. If that would be fixed - I'm in. Liked the game otherwise, so all I need is some new quests, which PL should provide

The patch triggered a new dialogue for me... and then it's right back to the charnel house. Still can't dismiss her.

I am so excited for the last leg of mods for this game post 2.0. 2077 modded with a handful of realism tweaks was my go-to game all of last year

CraigeryTheKid, w Baldur's Gate 3 Hotfix 5 Fixes Missing Dialogue For Minthara Romance

I wonder how long I should wait for diminishing returns on the patch rate to jump into the game. I’m in no rush, I know I’ll play it eventually.

For the best experience, and if you're only going to play through it once, Larian has released Enhanced Editions about a year after their last two releases. The same thing will probably happen here, so late next year could be good. If you play these kinds of games multiple times anyway, then it doesn't really matter. Even in the current state, it's an incredible game, so just go for it whenever.

O no, Pluto is considered a “planet” in Starfield? 🙄

But not eris, ceres or haumea. It is surprising how many muricans are in this bizarre battle.

@JelloBrains@kbin.social avatar

I played the game at the beginning of the year, it was OK, I'm glad I missed it at its worst. But, I don't think I will buy the DLC, maybe if it gets a significant discount for one of the Holiday Sales.

That being said, 2.0 sounds like it's going to fix the game in a lot of ways, basically making the game what it should have been from the start, I might start a new game if the reviews of the 2.0 system are really good.

whataboutshutup,

1.0 is promises fulfilled, 2.0 sounds like something on a level of a new entry (or a big advertising exaggeration). We’d see.

Kaldo,
@Kaldo@kbin.social avatar

That sounds like the smart option tbh, I am still not convinced 2.0 will address my biggest issues with the game like gear progression and inventory. Not really sold on the skill rework either, looks kinda as boring as before. Maybe I get the dlc eventually but there's no rush - it's not like they are making more dlcs for the game and need the money, and the sequel is already confirmed anyway.

I really wanted it to be great but for every high the game hit for me, it had double the amount of lows. I can't really be bothered to get hyped anymore for it.

@dingus@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, this is just a little silly.

We all know it isn’t and never intended to be No Man’s Sky.

This is like acting upset you can’t land on planets in Mass Effect 2.

@Ganondorf@kbin.social avatar

Happy to see them refer to the game as "complex", something the New series lacked over time with redundant sequels. I'm looking forward to this one.

style99, w Starfield's planets are an illusion: you can't land on them
@style99@kbin.social avatar

You can land on Pluto though you aren't really meant to. It's just there for decoration.

This is similar to how you can glitch outside of Whiterun in Skyrim, though doing that in the same worldspace as Whiterun will just let you be up close to the low-detail versions of the outer world, which you aren't really meant to do.

quatschkopf34, w Starfield's planets are an illusion: you can't land on them

“You can‘t do something you‘re not supposed to“ This is such an ridiculous article.

wolfshadowheart,
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

I agree it's particularly dumb thing to complain about. You can land on Pluto. Well for posterity, I'm assuming they mean going to the planet and landing directly, which you can't do to any planet. You can land on Pluto, just not by flying directly to it. You can't really fly to any planet and land on it like that because when you're at the planet, selecting it has you bring up the planetary map to initiate landing/destinations.

Basically, if I'm anywhere in the galaxy I can select Pluto, plot a course, and land in it's orbit. Or, if I've landed on it before and visited a settlement, or made my own outpost, then I can select either of those.

You cannot fly from earth to Mars and then directly land on Mars. You can select a location near mars and then press a button to travel to it, likewise for any waypoints you can see.

At no point does the game or the marketing say that you can fly to planets without menus and land on the planet with a seamless transition, so I don't really understand what everyone is up in arms about. They told us long ago that cutscenes would be the transitions so frankly I'm just seeing people complain for making assumptions they were never promised. (unlike 2077 which actually did have some missed promises).

So yeah, "can't land" on Pluto without using the map menu... Just like literally everything else except waypoints in the game

@Ferk@kbin.social avatar

Wouldn't it be relatively simple to have the ship be automatically stopped as soon as it gets at a certain distance from a land-able object and open some dialog asking whether you want to land / enter atmosphere or something like that to initiate a cutscene / loadscreen?

And if you say no, the ship's computer could make up some in-game excuse, such as needing to avoid the gravity well of the planet, for it to automatically turn around and move away from it.

I mean, I get that they probably didn't expect someone to spend the time to actually go and attempt physically reaching the planet, but after all the attention this thing is getting it could be an appropriate approach to take for when they do the full release, if only to shut people's mouths. It's just one small detail.

novamdomum, w Starfield: How the game is really performing on PC?
@novamdomum@kbin.social avatar

Isn't this game living up to the hype then? When I heard that planet landings and takeoffs were going to be cut scenes I did wonder.
