These stats are what I have in my head when I am deciding on what to buy. Fact is, most people on the internet are overwhelmingly negative and unable/unwilling to give games a fair shot.
This sounds critical, but look at the numbers. I have a family member who, when asked about Cyberpunk, said it was a shit game, that enemies were too spongy, driving was terrible, and said it was “literally unplayable”. (not bug related, just gameplay) When asked about story he said “Oh I only played a couple of missions”.
Like what? I’m not saying you need to play 100% of Gollum to know it’s a bad game, but come on, talk about judging a book by it’s cover. If you aren’t going to give it a fair shot then why buy it at all, just don’t buy the game?
So many people go into games expecting them to be bad, or expecting bugs/problems that guess what, you’re probably going to find something wrong with it. Maybe watch a few less reviewers ahead of time, maybe turn off the FPS counter, and I don’t know, see if you have fun playing it.
It looks like it could sit between satisfactory and Minecraft because there is a hole there. Satisfactory is extremely polished and the gameplay is pretty rock solid, but that comes with limitations like having a static game map.
Making this more like Minecraft means that the gameplay may not be as crystal clear but that you can be free to explore outwards.
But, they really need to break from the obvious satisfactory links
There’s a thousand places to leave negative reviews. I’m just annoyed at the “Hey look X game has a cool thing” and the immediate “You enjoy X game? You’re an idiot for finding enjoyment out of this, you’re stupid, look how cool I look for shitting on it”. It’s transparent and annoying.
Voice your opinions sure, but if all you do though is shit on people for enjoying something, then that’s a dick move.
Man I’m real tired of the constant negativity around new games. I rarely see positive stuff online.
You don’t like a game? Just move on. Hell, downvotes and move on. But leaving comments on things like screenshots about how idiotic a game is, man find something else to do.
I agree OP, it is a gorgeous game. The landscapes are incredibly striking
Big reason why I just never understood why Meta bet the farm on VR/metaverse. Such a stupid move, literally everyone knew that VR wasn’t ready for mainstream. The only people willing to get it were tech nerds and some gamers, and really that had nothing to do with the metaverse, it was because they could play games in it.
Until it gets stable and doesn’t feel like I’m strapping a brick onto my face, it’s not going to happen mainstream. It also can’t just connect to a PC, average people don’t want to be strapped down to something. And I know, that’s a lot to ask, but if you want to base your entire company on VR, those are the hard realities. People want something like sunglasses, not something that feels like duct taping a laptop in front of their face
Good, after seeing that Skyrim mod that added a chatgpt follower I immediately saw corpo execs salivating over all the free content they’d get.
I think most gamers love the idea of NPCs that you can have active conversations with. However I think we should fully compensate the voice actors who are lending their voice to the trained model. Something like that can easily be exploited by companies to underpay workers.
I’d be interested in reading that. I know personally on bad days I’d sometimes have over 100 comments. (Bad meaning too active). Since the first day here on lemmy I haven’t even logged into my reddit account. They burned me hard by killing Sync for Reddit.
It follows the 90-9-1 rule though, so while they have users who use it, I think they burned a lot of the people who posted and commented.
No it’s good! It’ll give them twice the power to make games and it’ll be better! They totally won’t just sit there with their monopoly, monopolies are good! Plus we still have Sony. Wait they want to buy Sony too? Even better!
The Razer Wolverine is by far the best controller I’ve ever purchased. Got it now… 7 years ago and it’s still just an absolute champ. The initial price may scare off some, and the fact that it’s wired, but it’s the best damn controller I’ve ever used.
Flappers are 2 can be mapped to existing buttons (I have mine as up/down on the D-pad), and the other 2 raise/lower sensitivity of the sticks. So I can hold a flapper while sniping to get real precise.
It also has two little toggles on the inside between the bumpers which I have mapped to left/right on the dpad, which is really nice because I don’t have to take my fingers off the sticks, Witcher 3 this is amazing because what’s how you pull out a specific sword.
This makes sense to me, it looks like it’s $0.20 for each install, only if
you have passed a threshold of installs
you yourself are charging for your game
Which, I know Lemmy has issues with proprietary software, but if you are charging for your software and it’s built off this, I don’t think $0.20 is too much to pay them. Unreal takes a percentage I believe, sounds like this is a “keep the lights on” charge.
Yeah of course I figured it out, but after a lot of trial and error. I have 3000 hours in Factorio and Satisfactory so I’m very well versed in the industry mechanics, but had to figure out the quirks of this game. Like interstellar launchpads are 1:1, how to power them with fuel, how to transport fuel for others, do other sides require fuel? And this is just a theme in the game, spaceship design also you are just plopped into it and have to play around a lot before you understand how things work. Things like “You can’t put a bay directly above where there will be a ladder” I learned last night after a frustrating half hour trying to figure out why one of my portholes wasn’t showing up. Or that the top port must be the topmost part of the ship, even if the engines are only cosmetically sticking out by less than a foot on the other side of the ship it will give a generic flight check failure saying “It’s in the wrong position”.
Don’t get me wrong I love the game, but it clearly goes in the “happy path” way of “they’ll figure it out”, which we will, but some help text/tooltips would go a long way. Things like
Warning, Interstellar pad is transporting fuel but none is provided. (have you connected fuel to the fuel intake?)
Tooltips like that would make it a lot more easy to play. Beyond that loving it, just hit level 19, it was just a struggle getting my first base and ship built.
