MeatsOfRage,

Good god that is a hard headline to grok. I thought it had something to do with the actual day prior to something else.

MeatsOfRage,

As I get older I’ve grown to just appreciate comfort over precision. I don’t play competitive multiplayer, in fact the only multiplayer I play is COD zombies with some buddies once a week. And we all suck anyways so we’re just having a laugh. I’d much rather just lean back in my chair with a controller.

MeatsOfRage,

My biggest fear was arriving at the app store and seeing the word free. Glad to see there’s still people making games where you just pay and get the game.

MeatsOfRage,

They’re a small studio with a small budget. They probably didn’t have the skills and money. The success of the game on Steam would have given them the resources to do this.

MeatsOfRage, (edited )

PSN account is free, you probably already have one if you owned one of the last 3 PlayStation consoles. There are paid add-ons if you want the multiplayer or the gamepass like subscription.

Edit

What’s with all the downvotes, it’s literally an answer to the question. You fellas mad I didn’t editorialize the information with personal opinions?

MeatsOfRage,

Have you seen kids? Most of them play games exclusively on mobile devices now.

MeatsOfRage, (edited )

I mean sometimes it works. Pubg was the big Battle Royale in town until Fortnite (as a battle Royale) came along. League of Legends too. The problem with Concord is it took about 6 years to come out so it couldn’t draft on the hot trend.

MeatsOfRage,

Usually they don’t completely flop though, they just underwhelm expectations but if they can stay active long enough with the right amount of whales and fish they can usually break even or make a small profit. Concord is just a high profile legitimate flop that was turned off before it could do anything.

MeatsOfRage,

I’ve heard it pronounced “ess-ness” and “snezz” and “sness”

All are equally terrible.

MeatsOfRage,

How about NESticle

MeatsOfRage,

Headlines might as well just be “Ubisoft Reportedly Hit with Layoffs Due to 🤷”

MeatsOfRage,

TLDR: you can get it from the url epic.download

Looks like it only has Fortnite, Fall Guys and Rocket League on there for now

MeatsOfRage,

Drr Drr

Thing is, they don’t need to sell consoles anymore. They’re in the gamepass business now. This is why they’re pushing gamepass on phones, PCs, Samsung TVs and Firesticks. They don’t really care about selling you a box under the TV anymore since they’re usually sold at or near a loss anyway. They just want you on the subscription wherever you can play it.

They currently have roughly 34 million subscribers (as of February, I’m guessing Activision Blizzard King is going to bump this number up further), let’s assume an average of $12 a month. That’s over $400 million coming in every month or 1.2 billion every quarter on the books. They don’t have to rely on a big game to have a good month.

You’re more valuable to them having the gamepass subscription and just playing on your phone over someone who buys a console and purchases 7 or 8 games a year. Articles like this fundamentally misunderstand the current gaming landscape and their business model. They’re not losing the race, they’re playing a different sport.

MeatsOfRage,

If you’re unaware of the recent history of this project, the big Fallout 4 update that came out a few months ago broke this project. GOG worked with them to build an installer that would downgrade Fallout 4 to the required version to run this (hence the GOG logo at the start). Good guy GOG to the rescue.

MeatsOfRage,

Any reason to think this would be a probable takedown? Mods on Bethesda games have historically been a thriving community unless they directly infringe on another company’s copyright.

Holedown

You just aim a ball and clear blobs before they reach the top. No timer. I usually play this with my screen split to YouTube.

MeatsOfRage,

The Last Night, Replaced and now this. I can’t keep giving my hopes up for highly stylized, somewhat pixely blade runneresk games. I hope one of these get released.

MeatsOfRage,

With some Mirrors Edge. Honestly, sign me up. If they pull this off it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.

MeatsOfRage,

Crystal Dynamics have a really strong track record with the exception of Avengers but I’d put the blame on the publishers for pushing a game on them that isn’t their specialty

MeatsOfRage,

Or Cate Blanchett. Like if me and my friends were dream casting this movie one of us would say Cate Blanchett as a joke and we’d all laugh and move on. Don’t get me wrong, she’s one of my favorite actresses, you can Tar and feather me all day but this was frankly a bizarre call.

Reminds me of the show Barry, the character Sally is on a press circuit and someone throws the question at her “Who should play the next Spiderman” and confused by the question she says Ben Mendelson

MeatsOfRage, (edited )

I think we’re past this now, we’ve had a number of good (or at the very least enjoyable) adaptations now, Sonic, Mario, Pikachu. Werewolves Within was really good though no one has heard of the game. And of course TV has been knocking it out of the park, Last of Us, Fallout, Cyberpunk, Castlevania, League of Legends, hell I’d even throw in Twisted Metal. Even stuff about people who play games like Gran Turismo and Players were really good. We also have things that considered bad at the time are being reclaimed like Mortal Kombat

Borderlands is (by the looks of it) just an IP dump which isn’t exclusive to video games.

MeatsOfRage,

Nice

MeatsOfRage,

I mean yea, it was the whole point of buying Activision in the first place, to help drive game pass adoptions

MeatsOfRage,

They had to sign a 10 year deal to allow COD on other platforms in order for the courts to allow the acquisition to go through. After that they’ll almost certainly go exclusive, they didn’t pay Activision King Blizzard $75 billion just to keep the status quo. Xbox isn’t in the games business, they’re in the game pass business.

MeatsOfRage,

I didn’t have good gaming gear at the time so I was all in on streaming. Stadia, GeForce now, xcloud, even moonlight on hosted locally with Gamestream. Stadia was hands down the smoothest cloud gaming of all the options I tried. Moving between TV and phone was so quick, no noticeable lag at all and constant 4k.

It’s too bad their business model sucked. Most of the other game streamers have caught up now but I always wished they would have just somehow provided their tech to other services.

MeatsOfRage,

Yea I saw this exact trailer a few months ago

MeatsOfRage,

There are 22 year olds who were too young to play this when it came out.

MeatsOfRage,

Oh cool

checks url

Eh, yanko design. So it’s just gonna be a mock-up.

MeatsOfRage,

The Indie scene releases a dozen of these every day. The problem is there’s actually too much and most of these fail to ever find an audience.

MeatsOfRage,

Ubi also needs to just kill Beyond Good and Evil 2 at this point. There’s no way anything good can come from a project with 17 years of development and nothing really to show for it.

MeatsOfRage,

Just a heads up, there’s a good review on the steam page that breaks it down a bit and it seems this is less a free game and very much a F2P game with a battle pass and expensive currency.

MeatsOfRage,

Going back though, I’d probably just skip the first now. 2 improved on 1 in every way. 3 and ultimate was also good but a bit bloated. Then we get a slew of mixed to bad games until we get to the nether realms era.

So basically play 2 then play series that starts with the 2011 Mortal Kombat

MeatsOfRage,

I do miss the days when Epic would build bespoke games to show off their new engines. Now they just dump it all into Fortnite.

MeatsOfRage,

Year 1 I went hard on pokemon go, I committed to the original 150 (I don’t recognize anything past red and blue) that were available and in my region then peaced out. There wasn’t anything there past my nostalgia.

MeatsOfRage,

Slay the Spire. I’ve probably put more hours into this game than any other in my life.

From there, I guess all the usual picks. Hades, Hollow Knight, Braid, Fez, Dead Cells, Celeste

MeatsOfRage,

Don’t forget, Sega called out these games along side things like subscription services www.tweaktown.com/news/94151/…/index.html

Seeking: Kid-friendly Adventure/Exploration Games (PC)

My daughter (4) is very into exploring cities, homes and villages in Skyrim, feeding aliens in No Man’s Sky, and cleaning houses in House Flipper. She gets annoyed in games like House Flipper because she can’t leave the property to explore all of the visible houses on the block. I’d like to find other PC games that are...

MeatsOfRage,

The Peppa Pig game is surprisingly open. If you just walk off screen it lets you keep going and you end up in new locations. Hop on the bus and end up in another location. There aren’t many blocks to stop you from going where you feel like going and there’s a variety of activities at each location.

MeatsOfRage,

Xbox is a gamepass company now, not a hardware company. They’d much prefer you just BYOD and Xbox just handles the streaming.

MeatsOfRage,

They’re great, means I don’t have to artificially adjust my play style to play with someone less experienced

MeatsOfRage,

MeatsOfRage,

TLOU Part 1 was a 2023 release, even though it’s just a remake but at least I can let that slide. Even SIFU was a 2023 Steam release so I can let that slide. RDR2 is in a category that specifically built for games before 2023. What I can’t let slide is giving it the labor of love award. It hasn’t been touched since launch and the online component is a gong-show because of it’s bugs and cheaters. Even the singleplayer mode had a huge audio bug that affected many people (including myself) and the only work around was getting some guys script that you have to run before launching the game.

It’s completely abandoned by Rockstar and does not deserve to come anywhere close to the “Labor of Love” award.

MeatsOfRage,

I loved this game too but I was never able to finish it. The game kept getting incrementally slower as I progressed like it was having trouble processing everything. Happened on both my Switch and Xbox Series X. Hopefully the PC version is better.

MeatsOfRage,

Because he’s one of the few devs with true name recognition. All video game awards shows have always been chasing the Oscars but the film industry is full of massive celebrities. Not just stars but directors and even some writers and producers.

So Kojima has that. Plus his work always shows well. It’s usually something unique and cinematic.

Steam year in review 2023 is up, if you want to get disappointed in how much you bought and how little of it you played. 😛 (store.steampowered.com) angielski

Personally, apparently 71% of my gaming time was spent on FFXIV. Although in my defense, most games I’ve played this year were on GOG or old free stuff from Epic I finally got around to.

MeatsOfRage,

My chart shows an emphasis on zombies and typing. I don’t know how to interpret that other than we need a new Typing of the Dead.

God of War Creator Is Unhappy With New Games and Kratos' Story (comicbook.com) angielski

Despite being nominated for numerous awards and even winning Game of the Year in 2018, the creator of God of War, David Jaffe, is not a huge fan of the new direction the series has gone in. Jaffe himself hasn't worked on these new God of War games, but thinks that they're not staying true to the spirit of the character and the...

MeatsOfRage,

Something about the new games that really bothered me was how it handled puzzle rooms. You’d walk into a room and start to look around then your kid would yell out “hey I think we should shoot that target up there which should knock down this bridge for us”. Golly thanks, guess I won’t get to attempt to figure things out myself then. I pretty much fell off about 10 hours into the first one because I found that so frustrating. Does that go away after a while?

MeatsOfRage,

Interesting, looks like it has an actual map to play on and not just a repeating tile set.

MeatsOfRage,

I’d like it just set in any new city outside of these 3. It’s always been a rotation of Liberty, Vice and San Andreas, even back to GTA 1 (which was the 3 cities in one)
