Crazymick, w Google confirms testing a technology to allow us to play games on YouTube

You know what.. just fuck Google. Stadia was the last straw for me. I have been their biggest fanboy for 15 years and they are a company without a direction. The last piece I have to untangle is my email.

TwilightVulpine, (edited ) w Meet the Guy Preserving the New History of PC Games, One Linux Port at a Time

This is such important work, but large gaming companies now seem to want games to stop working so people will move to the next thing. That's one of the hidden business interests on tying everything to online services.

I do hope we can still manage to maintain compatibility using emulators, virtual machines and compatibility layers. Digital media is so trivial to copy and store that letting it be lost can only happen due to complete neglect.

pdqcp,

Don't forget your remaster/remakes releases

How long before they abandon this idea too?

DoucheBagMcSwag, w Google confirms testing a technology to allow us to play games on YouTube

Everyone: “hey I’ve seen this one before!”

Google: “what do you mean you’ve seen this? It’s brand new”

DoucheBagMcSwag, w Switch 2: Graphics similar to PS5 and Xbox Series at Gamescom

Lies.

After the Wii U Nintendo gave up on competing with graphical fidelity and features.

And the switch is their best selling device. Nintendo is done chasing the other two for graphics. Not going to happen.

I see the switch successor graphics still looking like shit but…performing better on an improved Soc and upgraded GPU

Pisodeuorrior, w Switch 2: Graphics similar to PS5 and Xbox Series at Gamescom

I honestly find it super hard to believe this.

Come on, it's a hand held, have they manged to squeeze a gpu the size of a ps5 into a Switch? And how do they cool it? Bullshit.

Also, Nintendo hardware has always been, by choice or not, at least a generation behind Sony and Microsoft, I really don't see them changing that any time soon.

Yepthatsme, w Starfield has the best release in the history of Bethesda, surpassing Skyrim

Yea it’s an artful masterpiece.

Rodeo, w Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3 Revive Age-Old RPG Debate About Encumbrance - IGN

What about gear durability? I hate that shit even more than I hate encumbrance.

Yeah, encumbrance can be overcame but the durability thing is annoying. Especially when you can’t repair the gear.

BOTW/TOTK Zelda games are the only ones that get it right. It’s a core game mechanic and they give you enough weapons to have fun with it.

RaineV1,

Eh. Can't say I had fun watching my higher end weapon break on the stronger, bullet sponge enemies later on, and replacing it with a crappy short swords that do barely any damage. ToTK though was certainly better thanks to fusion.

hydro033,

Same. Like what kind of sword breaks after 3 uses.

BruceTwarzen,

That it kind of the thing tho, if you just violently smash your sword around, it's gonna break. Like katanas are pretty flimsy and a german greatsword for example could just snap it off. Let's take elden ring for example and you use your sword to find an invisible wall, that's terrible for a sword and it would go to shit really quick. So i guess in a way it's realistic. But i really don't like it when games do that. All it does for me is that i'm never going to use the nice things in the game, because they break, then you need a new one or repair it or whatever.
I'm fine with encumbrance... especially in these Bethesda games. All they do is litter the world with garbage for the player to pick up and carry around for no reason other than make the game longer.

Granixo, w Fighting Game Players: Does DLC successfully persuade you to come back?
@Granixo@feddit.cl avatar

Waaay too much text dude.

But yeah, good DLC does make me go back to play games. 🎮

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

This article is for idiots. What a dumb test. This isn’t SC or ED or SB2.

If you want to fly around space in a sim buy another game.

If you want a quest and story rich world buy this game.

CIWS-30, w New Survey Reveals That Many Game Developers Consider Their Career Unsustainable

Not shocking. I just hope people learn from this and react by not getting into the gaming industry until the shortage of workers forces it to change. Same thing with the entertainment industry outside of gaming at large.

The way the movie / tv industry treats most of its employees who aren't at the very top is just horrible, and if people didn't have such stars in their eyes for Hollywood and such, working conditions would be so much better all around, along with pay and mandatory breaks.

I've been in the entertainment industry, and so has my sister. It's amazingly how terrible people are treated, including crew and lower end actors, and all for a product that's not really necessary or all that important for the survival of the world. People don't think about it, but we've been around for MILLIONS of years without TV and Movies. Sure there were plays and such, but it doesn't take much for humanity to amuse itself. Simple conversations, board games, some sticks and balls... if the writer / actor strikes kept going on, and new content stopped coming out, it'd suck at first, but we'd get used to it.

DoucheBagMcSwag, w Yep, Payday 3 seems a lot like Payday... but that's no bad thing

…with tacked on always online bullshit

And Denuvo

ono, w Steam Deck alternative Lenovo Legion GO is real, coming October

Lenovo’s machine will run on Windows 11 as opposed to it being a Linux-based system.

No thanks. I want less Microsoft in my life, not more.

(Also, I would rather give my money to Valve than Lenovo.)

oo1,

i wish you were in charge of IT procurement for my employer.

AlternativeEmphasis, w Cyberpunk 2077 Only Getting One Expansion Was a 'Technological Decision', CD Projekt Red Says - IGN

Yeah I am hoping they overhaul or embrace a new engine because that is what apparently killed mutliplayer for Cyberpunk. I dream of playing as trauma team and extracting patients.

SaltySalamander,
@SaltySalamander@kbin.social avatar

They're moving to Unreal Engine 5.

AlternativeEmphasis,

I'm not big on the homogenising into unreal 5 but if it works well for them I'm all for it.

Hypx,
@Hypx@kbin.social avatar

UE5 is nowhere near ready if Aveum is anything to go by. Let's hope UE5 gets way better or it will spell disaster for a lot of companies.

Kaldo, w Review: Starfield
@Kaldo@kbin.social avatar

We're going to have a lot of these, we should probably setup a review megathread or something? Does this magazine even have mods btw? :D
