conciselyverbose, w First / Third Person without the Shooting/Combat?

I have not played it, but people rave about The Outer Wilds and it sounds like it fits your needs.

It's not at all my thing, but search the term "walking simulator" to find stuff like that.

Have you tried some of the games you're talking about on the "story" difficulty modes? Most have moved to calling it something like that instead of "easy", and I'm at the opposite extreme, but a lot of them are designed to let you experience the world and story without the pressures of combat.

If you have access to a switch, Mario Odyssey or Kirby and the Forgotten Land have some "combat" but you can skip a lot of it, and they're made to be beatable by kids. Other 3D platformers exist in similar veins as well.

FarraigePlaisteach,

Just watched a review of this, looks really nice. Walking simulator is new to me too and very useful. Thank you!

Well considering 3 of the 4 turtles are gone in the comic, that should be the default.

TwilightVulpine,

Then it turns out everyone else is on vacations and the last one just forgot and stayed behind.

It took Bungie years to do this for Destiny; Larian immediately begins to work on it in a couple weeks after release.

I love this studio, and how it's upending the AAA gaming standard. About time. I'm definitely buying it when it comes out on the PS5.

Goronmon, w The Main Lesson From ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Should Be ‘People Hate Microtransactions’

If the success of Baldur's Gate 3 shows that gamers don't like micro-transactions, does that mean games that sell well with micro-transactions is prove that gamers actually like them?

Just want to be clear on what the rules are for the logic here.

Fogle,

Well there’s selling well, and being the best rated game of all time and universally acclaimed

Goronmon,

It's not the best rated game of all time...

Fogle,

Best rated PC game of all time by user score

I appreciate that they are continuing to improve the game. I hope they will add some new subclasses, spells, and races eventually. It would give the game some serious staying power.

GreenAlex, w Let's Just Calm Down About The Nudity In Baldur's Gate 3
@GreenAlex@kbin.social avatar

I personally am not one for nudity in my games but BG3 is literally the dumbest hill to die on. If anyone actually is, I didn't see any examples. Reason being, the first thing that happens when you start the game is that it asks if you want to turn it off.

emeralddawn45, w Hook an old FPS gamer up. Anyone else fondly miss "assassin mode" from Soldier of Fortune (2000)?

Didn’t halo 2 have an assassin mode? It’s been a long time since I’ve played but I think I remember it being similar to what you described.

@be_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.social avatar

That's in the category of "new" titles that I missed. (Loved the first Halo though) Anyone still playing 2? I may have too check it out if so.

Either:

  1. Hire more staff to do more development/QA in a shorter timespan
  2. Delay release schedule to not be annual releases
  3. Reduce game scope to something the team can accomplish

Gamefreak cannot keep its historically small team size while trying to make large, open world titles that release annually. Tears of the Kingdom tool over 5 years to develop, and that was working with pre-existing assets. Gamefreak's model is not sustainable.

Gamefreak cannot keep its historically small team size while trying to make large, open world titles that release annually

Define "small". For Sword and Shield they had around 1000 workers, according to Ohmori, the game's director.

With 200 being from Game Freak, some from Creatures Inc. (they make the 3D models and send them to Game Freak) Debugging and Quality Control is externalized

So, yeah. The number being close to a thousand, that of course includes all the different functions like marketing and PR and everyone that would be associated with the game ahead of release. But I think at Game Freak, really the core team of people that worked on the game was around 200 people. And of course, Creatures is another partner company that develops 3D models of the Pokémon. There are various teams that handle debugging at our partner companies as well. So there’s a lot of people involved and I think in terms of just the sheer number of the most resources required to make something happen for the development, it was definitely more on the graphical side of things.

So it's not like Game Freak does everything for the game. They don't have to do the 3D models that will be used in the game nor debugging

And they hired more for Scarlet and Violet iirc

CarlsIII, w OK Boomer Shooter: How indie games breathed new life into a dying genre

Can we start coming up with inaccurate names for every genre? Maybe battle royales can be called “Greatest Generation Turn-Based Puzzlevanias.”

EnderWi99in,

Boomer shooter isn't really about the generational boomers but that the games have a lot of "booms". It says it right at the top of the article. Boomers never even played video games. That era was all Gen X and old Millennials so it wouldn't even make sense that way.

CarlsIII,

Finally, a genre of games with explosions in them.

It’s still a terrible name, and it is clearly meant to make you think of baby-boomers (the op is literally titled “OK Boomer Shooter.”) Also, the fact that there are things that go ‘boom’ in this game is not in any way the defining trait that separates them from other FPS’s, but rather that they are more fast-paced than other more realistic FPS’s. And even if you convince me otherwise on that point, I still hate the name and wish nobody would use it!

Pisodeuorrior, w OK Boomer Shooter: How indie games breathed new life into a dying genre

Fucking hell this is super weird. I was going through my comments history, and one of them was "what's a boomer shooter?"in reply to someone who mentioned the term a few weeks ago.

Since it wasn't replied I looked it up like a minute ago, and came across this very article.

The very first thread I clicked on after I came back to my feed was this one :0

Gargleblaster, w Hook an old FPS gamer up. Anyone else fondly miss "assassin mode" from Soldier of Fortune (2000)?
@Gargleblaster@kbin.social avatar

That game...had brutal hit boxes. You could blow people's legs off. I played a lotta pvp but not that mode.

@be_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.social avatar

I do remember the gore being substantial, but I feel like the gore was a bigger focus back then than in many of the modern games.

Homeschooled316, w Microsoft’s Xbox Series S Parity Demands Are Now Handing Sony Free Wins

BG3 is one of my favorite games, but there is nothing technologically groundbreaking about it. As hardware improves, studios often prefer to use the new leeway to neglect optimization, which is a nightmare scenario for consumers who are forced to upgrade endlessly for no reason. It’s understandable that smaller studios may need to make that sacrifice, but there should be SOME penalty for it or it will get out of hand. The series S parity requirements provides some small penalization that I hope continues for generations to come.

EvilMonkeySlayer,

I guarantee you it may not be graphically groundbreaking, but there will be some engine technology stuff for handling the world state that likely are.

CIWS-30, w The Main Lesson From ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Should Be ‘People Hate Microtransactions’

We also like games that ask players for feedback, then take it and test it in the game and improve the game with it if it works. As opposed to recycling the same ubisoft tower climbing + shallow collectible fetch quest-a-thon for the 100th time while wondering why people are getting bored and not buying the sequels.
