sunaurus, w Sea Of Stars Has Huge Day-One Sales, Despite Launching On Game Pass And PS Plus

I’ve played the first two hours on PS Plus and it’s excellent so far. I’m actually considering purchasing it separately on Steam just so I can play it on the Steam Deck as well 👀

redsol2,

I went straight for the Steam Deck version and it is a perfect handheld game. The fights don't drag on too long, and the suspend / resume is really nice to have.

Can't wait to see what other ways these companies gamify farming personal data.

I uninstalled while reading the EULA, stating that all data is stored on their servers. This includes audio recordings. You aint getting my sleep talking advertisers!

TwilightVulpine, w Epic is now offering 100% of the revenue to exclusive games for the first 6 months, up from 88%

Good for the devs who need the money but as a customer Steam just provides more, and if not Steam, GOG is DRM-free and ItchIO enables smallers indies to get their games out there. Epic isn't even on my list of places to buy. The only thing I bought in Epic, funny enough, was Fortnite Save the World, and I didn't get much out of that.

@Eggyhead@kbin.social avatar

Okay, so every time I decide I'm going to play a retro game through emulation, a remaster is announced, giving me access and an opportunity to enjoy a better version of the game instead. It happened with Metroid Prime, Link's Awakening, Baten Kaitos, Trails from Zero/to Azure, FF pixel remasters, KOTOR, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance, and now this I guess... So for the sake of everyone else, what retro games are worth adding to my list?

Look I'm just saying if you have the ability to conjure into our reality remasters and remakes of old games, I'm going to suck your fucking dick if we can get an Illusion of Gaia (snes) remaster sometime soon.

Or ya know whatever the bits may be.

I hope I’m proven wrong, but I’m not sure this is the best title to receive the Nightdive treatment.

Apart for the dated visual, gameplay and overall game mechanics wise the game is very awkward by 2023 standards.

I'd rather them do this one really well than have them do the both of them at the same time. I love Dark Forces 2, it's the Star Wars game I grew up with. I haven't looked but I'm assuming Disney has some involvement due to the ownership and honestly, it makes sense they want to give it a shot at remastering these titles since canon tied in the Dark Troopers, both white and black versions from what I can tell.

Mostly what I'm excited for? Dark Forces 2 multiplayer... oh man, those were the days.

Infinity187, w Starfield's Start Screen Criticism Gets a Response

Has really come to this, we now bitch and moan about start screens??? Fucking stupid shit.

ImplyingImplications,

Pretty much what the publisher’s response was lol

dom,

I bitch about start screens, and proudly.

Well, jsut the garbage start screens that have 80 tiles for you to click on and half are for something you have to pay extra for, or ads for their other games, or their dumb meta coin progression system

Start screens that are just options on a static image? Yes fucking please.

thingsiplay,
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

@dom Yes, but that is specific "real" problems you actually experience, which have direct impact. But in the case of the Starfield screen, it's just a screen, that's it. People talk how good or bad the game might be, as the screen is indicative of the game quality. This is ridiculous! It's just a fucking screen and nothing else.

As said, if there was a lot of garbage, then you could criticize the garbage and extra advertisement and such. These are concrete problems, not imaginations what the game quality might be. That is different from the case you talk.

shiveyarbles, w Overwatch 2 director opens up about having the worst-reviewed game on Steam: 'Being review-bombed isn't a fun experience'

That’s not a review bomb, you guys aren’t victims. That’s gamers telling you to fuck off with lies, under delivering, treating your employees like shit, micro transactions and battle passes

Yeah, this is why Jeff Kaplan left. My boy wasn’t gonna fall on this sword.

So, uh, not to sound out of the loop here, but what exactly is Sega getting here? They spent close to a billion dollars for...the Angry Birds IP?

Gordon_Freeman,
@Gordon_Freeman@kbin.social avatar

Apparently the Angry Birds games are still popular and strong

conciselyverbose,

They were good shit before they turned from buy to play to arcade style quarter dumps.

guyrocket, w Cities Skylines 2 has realistic economy, layoffs and even homelessness
@guyrocket@kbin.social avatar

I remember years ago playing SimCity for the 1st time at my cousin's house. Started playing in the evening and stopped when the birds came out and the sun came up...much to my surprise.

I got Cities-Skylines about a year ago and I think I put less than 5 hours into it.

guyrocket, (edited ) w First / Third Person without the Shooting/Combat?
@guyrocket@kbin.social avatar

I don't see Thief mentioned yet. It's old but it was called a "first person sneaker" by some reviewer back in the day.

I'm seeing something on Steam that looks like it but with a 2/2014 release date, which seems newer that I remember. Apparently there's a bunch of DLC too, so you might consider buy a bundle.

FarraigePlaisteach,

Thanks. This has the advantage of running well on under specced hardware too.

plscks,
@plscks@artemis.camp avatar

I was curious so I looked and you’re remembering one of the first three games (‘98-‘04) the one on Steam is the 4th game in the series. The originals were pretty neat back then and are still available at gog.com and probably other places as well.

guyrocket,
@guyrocket@kbin.social avatar

Interesting. Thanks.

FarraigePlaisteach,

Thanks. I think I found it here: https://www.gog.com/en/game/thief_gold

phi1997, w Final Fantasy 16 Producer Naoki Yoshida Wishes There Was Only One Console - IGN

I see where he's coming from, as when cross-play isn't available niche online games can die quickly and exclusives are annoying, but if there was only one platform holder, that status would quickly be exploited with high online fees and tighter controls of how games are purchased/resold.

nicman24, w OK Boomer Shooter: How indie games breathed new life into a dying genre

ah yes doom (2016) and eternal the indie games lmao

dmention7,

I mean, the article specifically states that, as high-budget games, Doom 2016/Eternal don’t really fit into the category:

While they aren’t necessarily boomer shooters due to their higher production values, faster-paced first-person shooters like Titanfall 2, Doom Eternal, and Halo Infinite are earning more goodwill than the latest Call of Duty and Battlefield games, proving that a faster-paced and more fantastical FPS still appeals to mainstream audiences.

nicman24,

the first remake of doom is very old school

dmention7,

Feels like you didn’t read the article and are just trying to snark about a point that noone is making. 🤷‍♂️

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

Author got burned bad in the comments:

8 hours ago

“Instead of getting more accepting of microtransactions these days because they’ve become so normalized, I’m moving the opposite direction. I genuinely resent Diablo 4 for sinking so, so much work into its $15-30 armor sets in the store when they could have been farmable in the game, and in-game sets are already starting to fall behind in the seasonal model.”

You clearly don’t resent it that much, considering you gave Diablo 4 a 9/10.

Madison_rogue,
@Madison_rogue@kbin.social avatar

It's not a burn; it's a poorly constructed comment made out of context. The author's criticism on Diablo 4 is based within the context of Baldur's Gate 3's release. The review for D4 was written before BG3 was released.

I would be happy if MTX were just a default penalty rule on all game review scores. MTX: Yes. Score -2.
